“Why? Baron made her cry!” Flynn rubbed the back of his head, feeling the slap had been unfair. He looked at Ruby with a pitiful expression, but she only sighed. Yvonne couldn’t help laughing.
“My sister cried because she was worried about my brother, not because my brother made her cry,” Yvonne explained. “Now do you understand why Aunt said that if you hit my brother, my sister would be the one who’s upset?”
Flynn’s brows knitted so tightly it looked like he could crush a fly between them. Worry was one thing, but why cry over it? In his mind, a couple of punches would’ve been enough. He didn’t dare say that out loud though; he didn’t want another slap. Still, he grumbled inwardly that women were troublesome and making money was easier.
Ruby looked at his blank, innocent expression and knew he hadn’t understood a thing. Her heart sank. “Flynn, do you think I’ll live long enough to see you get married?” she asked.
Yvonne almost burst out laughing. Flynn’s face fell. “Mom, don’t worry. If that’s your dying wish, I’ll buy a wife if I have to-just so you can rest in peace.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ruby raised her arm and smacked him hard. “I’ll kill you myself today if I have to!”
Now that Baron had been confirmed as one of their own, Ruby no longer held back. All the anger she’d kept bottled up-especially over being lied to about her eldest son-came pouring out onto Flynn.
“Flynn, stop right there! You always said you’d protect me and take care of me, yet you and your father lied to me about your brother. How long have you known? You watched me grieve and said nothing. Now you’re talking about me dying? You ungrateful brat! If I don’t beat you to death today, I’ll be ashamed of having raised you!”
Ruby stormed toward him, but Flynn wasn’t stupid-he darted away as fast as he could.
“Mom, come on, that’s not fair! Dad told me to keep quiet, it wasn’t my idea!”
“How is it not your fault? Didn’t I carry you for ten months? Your father only donated one little sperm cell, and you listen to him instead of me? You heartless boy! Stop right there!”
Ruby chased Flynn around the room, yelling as he ran circles trying to escape her reach. The chaotic scene completely shattered the tension that had filled the house just moments ago. Natalie’s tears were still drying on her cheeks, but she couldn’t help laughing at the sight of her

Baron stood there frozen. In his mind, Ruby had always been fragile, delicate, almost breakable. Even when she was in good spirits, she still seemed gentle and reserved. Seeing her now-full of life, chasing Flynn like a whirlwind-was completely unexpected.
The quiet, sickly woman had suddenly turned into a fierce lioness, and the transformation left him stunned.
Natalie tugged on his sleeve. “What are you standing there for? Go help my mom catch my brother!”
Baron blinked. “Wait, what? You want me to do what?”
He understood the words but couldn’t quite believe them. Wouldn’t her brother kill him for getting involved?
Natalie leaned closer and whispered, “My mom’s still mad at my dad and my brother for keeping quiet about my eldest brother. You know her condition isn’t stable. If she keeps that
up, it’ll make things worse. Let her vent. Go help her-better now than when my anger bottled dad comes home and ends up the target.”
Baron met her steady gaze and understood immediately. “He made you
mad?”
“No. I’m just doing this for my mom.”
Her voice was firm and serious. Baron smirked. “Kiss me and I’ll help.”
If he was about to get punched later, he might as well earn something for the trouble.
Natalie didn’t hesitate. She leaned in and kissed him quickly on the cheek. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ
Baron grinned, satisfied. “Next time I’m asking for a real kiss.”
“Shut and go!”

Natalie rolled her eyes, and Baron dashed off obediently. He caught Flynn by the arm and shouted, “Mom! I’ve got him! Come quick!”
Flynn’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Baron, are you out of your mind?”
“If being lovestruck is a sickness,” Baron said cheerfully, “then I’m very, very sick.”
Ruby seized the opportunity and grabbed Flynn by the ear. “You brat! Who are you calling crazy?”

“M-Mom! Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!” Flynn bent down, trying to match her height, his face twisted in pain as Ruby tugged mercilessly at his ear while everyone else laughed.
