Now that Natalie had finally found her biological parents, another crisis loomed; Baron feared she might start overthinking.

Natalie, however, only nodded. “That’s fine. I’m not really interested in these power struggles. But doesn’t this mean I can’t even visit Mrs. Stone in the hospital?”

“You’re still calling her Mrs. Stone? She’s your mother.”

Seeing that she wasn’t upset, Baron finally breathed a little easier.

Natalie smiled faintly. “I can’t call her that yet; I’ll need time. Didn’t you say there were two things? What’s the other one?”

Baron’s eyes chilled, though he didn’t answer immediately.

Natalie picked up on it instantly.

“Does it have to do with Jensen?”

Baron’s gaze shifted toward her, full of wounded grievance, as if she had just said something that wronged him.

Natalie was speechless.

“Baron! Talk! You realize, don’t you, that I’ll be bringing up Jensen’s name more and more in front of you from now on?”

Her matter–of–fact tone unsettled him.

He pulled her into his arms, his voice muffled. “I know. You want revenge yourself; you’ll have to bring him up, maybe even face him again. But every time I imagine you having to deal with him, I can’t stand it.”

“So what do you

want?”

Natalie felt helpless toward this big golden retriever of a man.

She couldn’t erase the five years she had spent with Jensen; but she had also cut him off completely, and she could never forgive him for nearly letting her burn to death.

Baron knew he was being unreasonable, but since she’d asked, he muttered with a hint of grievance, “Maybe you could kiss me? Comfort me a little?”

Natalie cupped his face gently, looked at the striking man before her, and suddenly rose on tiptoe to press a tender kiss to his lips.

“Mr. Baron, don’t be insecure. I’m your wife–we’re legally married. I can’t promise I already love you completely, but I can promise my body belongs only to you; and sooner or later, my heart probably will too.”

Baron’s eyes turned red at the edges.

He wrapped her tightly in his strong arms, his voice low. “You said it. I’m taking it seriously.”

“Alright.”

Natalie’s soft reply seemed to settle him, and only then did she ask, “So what’s the second thing?”

Baron finally answered. “Jensen found out Ms. Sunny is still alive. He went crazy, buying information about you on the black market. My monopoly has already been forced to shut down; now, because he still can’t find you, he’s throwing fits there. But the black market is my territory. I need to go back to Ocean City.”

Hearing how unhinged Jensen had become, Natalie couldn’t help but find it ironic.

“For men, is it always that what they can’t have is the most precious? When I was with him, he couldn’t have Sharon, so she became his so–called first love. Now that he’s married Sharon and I’m gone, suddenly I’ve turned into his unattainable dream?”

Her words made Baron declare instantly, “That doesn’t include me! I’ve never had a first love. You’re the only one for me. Marrying you and having our two adorable kids–that’s my greatest joy and accomplishment in this life.”

Natalie couldn’t help but smile at that.

Baron really did seize every chance to prove his loyalty and devotion.

And Natalie found herself starting to like that feeling.

“I want to go back to Ocean City too. It’s been long enough; Jensen and Sharon owe me, and it’s time they start paying me back.”

Her words ended with a flicker of murderous intent in her eyes.

Baron had no objection to her return, though he hesitated. “What about the kids? Should I send them back to the island?”
