Natalic immediately looked over at Baron; seeing him smiling warmly at her, her heart felt as though it had finally found a safe harbor–calm and at peace.
“Dad, Waylon, Baron–are you done? Let’s cat. We’re starving over here.”
As soon as Natalie spoke, Waylon quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes, let’s eat! We can’t have our little treasures going hungry.”
Ruby took the children by the hand, one on each side, and led them toward the dining room.
Baron, however, went straight to Natalie, reaching for her hand.
“If you were hungry, why didn’t you grab something first?”
“I was waiting for you.”
Her words left Baron with a warm ache in his chest.
“In the future, when we’re together, you don’t need to wait. If you’re hungry, eat; I’ll try to get back earlier, but if I’mte, don’t wait for me.”
Natalie blinked at him, momentarily taken aback. <i>Try </i><i>to </i><i>get </i><i>back </i><i>earlier</i>? <i>What </i><i>does </i><i>that </i><i>mean</i>? <i>Where </i><i>exactly </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>going</i><i>? </i>
She had always assumed Baron’s life worked around hers; he was usually home before she got back, so she had grown used to always finding him there. Hearing him say this now felt strange.
“It’s nothing. Dad asked me to join Stone Group as a shareholder; he even gave me some of their stock.”
Baron’s tone was full of pride and satisfaction.
Anyone overhearing might have thought he had been a penniless nobody who finally got a lucky break.
But Natalie knew better.
Baron couldn’t care less about Stone Group’s shares.
He had built Grant International Holdings from the ground up, apany now rivaling Stone Group itself.

If he didn’t even care for the title of chairman of his own conglomerate, why would he value a few shares from her family?
Sensing her doubt, Baron leaned closer and whispered, “This isn’t about the stock. It means Dad and my brother finally recognize me as the Stone family’s son–inw. It means I’m no longer on my own; I have a family and a rightful ce.”
His words were meant to boast, yet Natalie’s heart suddenly ached for him.
“You have me, my parents, my brother, and the kids–we’re your family for life. Baron, I already told my mom, soon I’ll be hosting a reunion banquet in Ocean City. You and the children will be by my side. I want the whole world to know you’re my husband and the father of my kids.”
Baron paused mid–step, then lifted his gaze, eyes alight with excitement.
“My dear, you’re giving me a proper name?”
Natalie couldn’t help butugh at his reaction.
“Silly, haven’t you had it all along? I just want everyone else to know you’re my man. And since the banquet hasn’t been held yet, I’ll give you onest chance to back out. Baron, think carefully–after this, even if you wanted another woman, it wouldn’t be an option.”
“I don’t want anyone else! I only want you!”
With that, Baron cupped the back of her head and kissed her–hot, fierce, andmanding.
Natalie hadn’t expected him to kiss her here, now, of all ces.
She instinctively tried to push him away. <i>This </i><i>is </i><i>mortifying</i><i>! </i><i>My </i><i>parents </i><i>and </i><i>brother </i><i>are </i><i>right </i><i>here- </i><i>and </i><i>the </i><i>kids </i>too! <i>How </i><i>can </i><i>he </i><i>just </i><i>kiss </i><i>me </i><i>like </i><i>this</i><i>, </i><i>anywhere</i><i>, </i><i>anytime</i><i>? </i>
But Baron didn’t give her a chance; his movements only grew more forceful, his kiss more searing.
Ruby noticed Natalie hadn’t followed them and turned back, only to catch sight of the fiery scene unfolding behind.
The corners of her lips curved upward, but she quickly covered the children’s eyes. She said to Flynn, “Close the dining room door; don’t let the food get cold, or it won’t taste goodter.”
Flynn froze for a moment.
<i>In </i><i>this </i><i>weather</i><i>, </i><i>would </i><i>the </i><i>food </i><i>really </i><i>get </i><i>cold</i><i>? </i>Do <i>we </i><i>even </i><i>need </i><i>to </i><i>close </i><i>the </i><i>door</i><i>? </i>

Waylon had also seen what was happening; he cleared his throat and said, “Do as your mother says.”
“Oh.”
Flynn still couldn’t make sense of his mother’s logic.
He turned to close the door, only to see Baron practically devouring his sister. Flynn’s eyes widened.
“Hey! That bastard dares bully my sister like this right in front of us? He’spletely out of control!”
He started rolling up his sleeves, ready to charge out, but Ruby twisted his ear and dragged him back.
“And where do you think you’re going? I told you to close the door, not start a fight. What, you think you’re too grown for me to handle now?”
Ruby’s temper red as she yanked her son back. <fn7b24> This content belongs to find?novel</fn7b24>
Caught off guard, Flynn yelped in pain.
“Mom! You shouldn’t be twisting my ear–you should be looking at what Baron’s doing!”
No sooner had he said it than Susie perked up with interest.
“What’s daddy doing? I want to see!”
She hopped down from her chair, little legs carrying her toward the living room, but Sean immediately grabbed her by the cor.
