Baron finally had someone who cared about him. When Natalie saw him standing with his back to her, doing nothing, she couldn’t help but ask, “Baron, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just got some sand in my eye.”
His voice was choked, though he quickly turned and headed toward the dining room.
Natalie frowned slightly; almost instinctively, she glanced toward the living room window. Sand? There’s no sand in here.
But when she saw Baron sit down and start eating, she decided not to dwell on it.
She settled onto the couch and pulled out her phone, only to see a new friend request pop up.
That number–she knew it by heart.
It was Jensen.
She immediately declined the request and opened her phone to scroll.
Somehow, Jensen had figured out she was on her phone and began bombarding her with messages: “Natalie, will you please accept my friend request? I already had the doctor terminate Sharon’s pregnancy. I’ve locked her away and I promise I won’t ever let her show up in front of you again. October first is coming up. You once said you wanted to travel with me. I checked–we could go skiing in Veloria, how about it?”
Message after message flooded in.
Natalie’s brows drew tighter. He actually remembered I wanted to ski in Veloria? How rare.
After their breakup, Jensen’s memory seemed to have improved; unfortunately for him, she no longer cared.
Just as she was about to type a reply, a long hand reached over and snatched her phone away.
“People like this–you just block them. Why waste your time?”
At some point, Baron had finished eating. The moment he noticed Natalie frowning at her phone, he knew someone was bothering her.
And really, who else could it be? Even without thinking too hard, he knew.

He knew better than anyone how good Natalie was. Now Jensen wanted to come crawling back and steal her away? Not a chance.
Natalie couldn’t help laughing when she saw Baron clutching her phone like a sulky child.
She didn’t mind his behavior at all; in fact, it made her realize just how much he cared.
After blocking Jensen, Baron realized he might have overstepped.
He chuckled sheepishly, handed the phone back, and said, “Sorry. I got a little carried away.”
“It’s fine. Honestly, I thought you looked kind of handsome just now.”
Natalie’s cheeks turned red as she took her phone.
Baron’s eyes widened.
“Wait–what did you just say, sweetheart? I didn’t catch that. Say it again?”
“If you didn’t hear it, then forget it.”
She stood up to leave, but Baron suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her down onto the couch. Check latest chapters at.net
“Ah!”
Caught off guard, she yelped as he toppled her back. When she looked up, she found herself staring into his deep, earnest eyes.
Her heart skipped faster.
“What are you doing? My brother will be back with the kids any minute–you’ll give people the wrong idea.”
“Then hurry and say it again, what you just said.”
“I forgot.”
She started to play dumb.
She had dated Jensen for five years, convinced that what she felt for him was love; but ever since being with Baron, her heart seemed to race at the smallest things.

What on earth is happening to me? She quickly turned her face away.
Baron’s lips curled in amusement.
“Really forgot? Want me to jog your memory?”
As he spoke, he lowered his head.

His warm breath grazed her cheek, making her flustered and sending her heartbeat racing.
“Baron!”
Natalie, embarrassed and angry, raised a fist to punch him, but he easily caught her hand and pinned it above her head with one hand.
“I’d rather hear you call me Baron–or better yet, husband.”
With that, he brushed a fleeting kiss against her lips, light as a dragonfly skimming water.
Natalie froze; her heart thudded even harder.
But Baron quickly released her, straightened, and walked off to pour her a glass of water.
“Here, drink some hot water. Let’s go outside afterward and walk it off; I hear the supposed to be nice.’

He handed her the glass as if nothing had just happened.
Natalie, watching him act so casually, suddenly felt both annoyed and flustered. This infuriating man riles me up, then pretends like it was nothing. He’s doing it on purpose.
She took the glass, sipped, and finally muttered, “Tonight you’re sleeping with my brother. I’m staying with the kids.”
“Huh?”
Baron froze.
“Wait, sweetheart, did I do something wrong? Is this my punishment?”
