Chapter 273 He Saved Sharon Not Me
Natalie froze for a moment at those words.
“Mom, is there something you're trying to say?”
“On the way back today, we ran into Jensen. Didn't Baron tell you?”
One look at Natalie's blank expression told Ruby everything.

She let out a quiet sigh. “I knew it. Baron worries about you constantly, always planning ahead for your sake. Be
honest with me-do you still have feelings for Jensen?”
“Mom, what are you even saying?”
Natalie blinked, caught off guard by the blunt question.
“I haven't cared about Jensen in a long time. After he secretly married Sharon behind my back, tried to steal my
success for her, and when Sharon had someone break my finger-he used his influence to protect her so |
couldn't even fight back. From then on, whatever feelings | had for him faded away piece by piece. And when
Sharon leftto die in that fire, the very first thing he did was rush in after her, without so much as a glance in
my direction... That was the moment | knew there was no future for him andin this lifetime.”
Her tone was steady, unshaken, which finally eased Ruby's worries.
“If that’s really how you feel, then why, since coming back to Ocean City, are you still so caught up with Jensen?”
“I'm not! Every the comes at me, | shut him down-or fight back.”

Hearing that, Ruby's expression softened. She looked at her daughter with tenderness and said gently, “Natalie,
even if you push him away, you've still never made a clean break. Even now, Luke Corp still hasn't paid you what
they owe for your designs, has it? By leaving things like this, you're making Baron think there's still some
possibility between you and Jensen-which is exactly why Jensen dares to bully him so openly. Do you even know
what he’s been saying about Baron?”
Ruby pulled out her phone, found the video of Jensen ramming their car and the conversation he had with Baron
afterward, then handed it to Natalie.
The moment she saw Jensen's behavior, Natalie's face hardened.
Ruby saw her expression and knew for certain her daughter truly had no feelings left for him.

“No matter who Baron is,” Ruby said meaningfully, “your father and I can tell his feelings for you are real. The
two of you already have children together. If you stand by each other through life, your future won't be lacking.
Natalie, what we want most is for you to be happy
“Mom, | know what | need to do.”
Natalie thought about how Baron had cback without ever mentioning Jensen, without a word of complaint.
Her chest tightened with guilt and sadness.
She knew exactly how he felt about her.
If | claimed | felt nothing for Baron after all this time, I'd be lying. And a man like him, how could I not fall for
him?
Now, her man had been bullied by Jensen, and if not for her mother, she wouldn't even have known.
She really had been neglecting him.
“Mom,” Natalie said quietly, “has the Stone family been completely cleaned
up
inside?”
“Not yet. But many have gone into hiding. Our family network is too complicated; it can’t be handled overnight.
We still need time. But your father and | agree-your return can’t wait. We have to let everyone know you are our
daughter. And Yvonne-we’ve confirmed she’s Uncle Xenon'’s child. Whatever else, she carries the Stone
bloodline. When the tcomes, you two should return to the family together, alright?”
Natalie lowered her voice. “That's something Yvonne needs to decide for herself. She’s Baron's sister now, which
makes her my sister too. Honestly, | still think it's safer for her to remain a Gunn. At least for now, those hiding
within the Stone family won't dare touch her. In the end, it should depend on what she wants.”
“Alright, I'll ask her later. She’s not here now?”
Natalie nodded.
“She went out on sbusiness; she'll be back tonight.”
She paused, then added, “Mom, since you and Dad wantto return to the Stone family, let's host the banquet
in Ocean City. Have Chris start planning these next few days; I'll make my appearance with the children and with
Baron.”
Ruby immediately understood her daughter's intention.
She wanted to bring Baron and the kids into the spotlight.

“That's fine. Baron should be given his rightful place anyway. The wedding also has to be held. You and Baron
decide what kind of ceremony you want, and your father and | will prepare it.
A faint smile curved Natalie's lips.
“Mom, I'll ask Baron what he wants first.”
“Good.”
Seeing how strong their relationship was filled Ruby with joy.
The two kids had been listening quietly the whole time. As soon as Mommy and Grandma finished talking, they
chimed in together, “If Daddy and Mommy get married, we want to be in the wedding party!”
