Chapter 278 Kids Have Eyes Too

“Susic, quiet.”

Sean didn’t even need to think to know what Baron was doing right now. God, Dad is hopeless. He kisses Mom

anytime, anywhere, doesn’t he ever think about how the rest of us feel? He's the worst! And we're still kids!

Susie, tugged back by Sean, grew frustrated.

“Sean, you're so annoying! Letgo!”

“Shut up and eat!”

Sean didn’t give her a chance to wriggle free; he shoved her back into her seat, cleared his throat, and gave a

deliberate cough toward the living room.

Natalie had already been nervous; hearing her son’s cough made her want to bury herself in the ground.

She stomped on Baron's foot-hard.

He grunted under his breath and finally released her, only to be met with her sharp glare.

“You're not touchingfor an entire week!”

With that, she turned and marched off; her cheeks burned crimson, the kind of blush that made her look

irresistible.

Baron's throat tightened as he swallowed, the sight of her making his self-control slip.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose and trailed after Natalie into the dining room.

Sean shot him a death glare sharp enough to cut glass, but Baron pretended not to notice. Susie opened her

mouth to speak, but Sean stuffed a chicken drumstick between her lips and whispered, “Eat. If you talk and end

up eating too slow, don’t expectto save you any.”

The little glutton’s eyes lit with alarm; at the mention of no chicken left for her, she forgot all about asking what

Baron had been doing outside. She buried her face into the drumstick, munching away.

As for the adults, Waylon and Ruby acted as though they had seen nothing at all, afraid their daughter would feel

embarrassed.

Flynn's glare burned with fury, like he was ready to rip Baron to pieces.

Natalie could feel the tension in the air, but all she could do was pretend nothing had happened. She sat down

with a bright smile.

“Dad, mom, Waylon-let’s cat.”

“Yes, yes, let's eat,” Waylon said quickly, following her lead.

Baron sat beside Natalie.

She ate with feigned calm, but her flushed cheeks betrayed her; anyone could see she was embarrassed and

forcing composure.

Waylon raised his brows at Ruby. This much affection might be a problem. Should we move out?

Ruby frowned slightly. No. I just got my daughter back; I'm not going anywhere.

Waylon understood the look in his wife's eyes and dropped his head, focusing on his food.

Everyone ate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

After dinner, Ruby urged Natalie back to her room, while she and Waylon took the children off themselves.

Baron pulled Natalie into the bedroom, where the two of them shared a heated and passionate exchange.

The next morning, as the sun rose, Natalie opened her eyes and felt sore all over.

Baron was already gone.

She got up, tidied herself, and dressed.

By now she was used to his habits-early morning runs, and sometimes preparing breakfast for her and the kids.

When she stepped out of the bedroom, she found Ruby sitting on the sofa reading a magazine; no one else was

around.

“Morning, mom.”

“You're up? Breakfast is in the kitchen; I'll have the housekeeper bring it for you.”

Ruby quickly set her magazine aside, looking at her daughter's rosy cheeks, her heart nearly

“Your father, your brother, and Baron all went to the company. The kids are fed and dressed- | sent them off to

preschool. Do you have plans for today?”

Natalie blinked, caught off guard.

“Baron went to the company too?”

“Yes. Your father said the Stone family has a collaboration with him; Baron needed to be there. There's also a

board meeting today, so your father wanted to introduce him to the other directors.”

Ruby didn’t understand much about business, but she repeated what Waylon had told her, afraid her daughter

might worry about Baron.

Natalie nodded.

“Mom, | need to step out for a while to take care of something. But why don’t you wait forto cback, and

we'll go shopping together?”

Most of Natalie's design work was now being handled by Renee, so she wasn’t too busy. And she could see Ruby

genuinely wanted to stay close to her.

The feeling of losing her daughter once and then getting her back had left Ruby a little insecure; she doted on

Natalie constantly. And Natalie, in turn, wanted to take good care of her mother. But since she had already

arranged to meet Rigel at Luke Corp, she would have to finish that before she could keep Ruby company.

Ruby was disappointed at first-her daughter was busy, after all. But hearing Natalie promise to go shopping

afterward immediately lifted her spirits.
