“Daddy and Mommy are coming back?”

“Yes, they should be back soon.”

Yvonne wasn’t actually sure–she had only said it to calm the two children who had been bickering endlessly.

At the same time, Natalie and Baron had no interest in figuring out who had set the beggar against Sharon. Neither of them cared enough to dig deeper.

Natalie leaned back tiredly. “Let’s go home and rest. This afternoon I want to take the kids to the mall. I haven’t given them gifts yet.”

Just thinking about it made her heart ache a little.

If not for running into Quincy at the mall, she would have already been home playing with her children.

At the mention of Quincy, Baron chuckled.

“Do you know how Quincy is doing now?”

Natalie hadn’t cared much about Quincy, but seeing the look on Baron’s face, she was suddenly curious.

“How is she? She must have been poisoned for sure. The question is whether she’s awake now. If she has woken and knows Sharon tried to kill her… I wonder what she’ll think. And won’t the police be after Sharon too?”

The thought made Natalie laugh a little. Sharon seemed to be quite busy these days.

And as if to prove her right, the sound of police sirens wailed outside just she finished speaking.

Baron and Natalie exchanged a glance and both burst into laughter.

“Come on, let’s go home. Those two little rascals must be giving Yvonne a headache by now.”

Baron knew his kids well.

Natalie agreed. Other people’s problems weren’t worth as much as her own children. Right now, she was impatient to see them again.

“Yes, home.”

Baron called the driver back.

The man drove steadily, saying nothing, but Natalic still felt her cheeks burn. She could barely

show her face.

And it was all this man’s fault.

Her face looked calm, but her fingers pinched hard into the soft flesh at Baron’s waist.

“Ow! Wife, that hurts!”

His pitiful begging made her laugh. She let go of his waist, only to have her hand caught and held tight in his warm palm the next moment.

His hands were dry, firm, and warm, filling her with a strange sense of safety.

“Get some sleep. I’ll wake you when we’re home.”

Baron knew he had lost control earlier, but with Natalie, he truly couldn’t help himself.

Natalie was indeed tired. She didn’t resist, simply rested her head against his shoulder. His familiar masculine scent surrounded her, and before long, she drifted off to sleep.

“Drive slower. Keep it steady,” Baron ordered quietly.

The driver eased the speed to a smooth forty, keeping the ride as gentle as possible.

Meanwhile, Quincy awoke under the doctor’s care.

But when her eyes opened, Lucy was nowhere to be seen–no one at all, save for a young nurse jotting down notes at her bedside.

Her mind was blank for a moment before the last memory returned–j

“Nurse…”

Her voice was hoarse and painful.

Defore she fainted.

The nurse glanced up in surprise. “You’re awake! Hold on, I’ll get the doctor to check you right away.”

She hurried out, leaving Quincy confused and struggling to sit up.
