When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 42 A Secret Meeting

Natalie’s words made Baron understand immediately.

“I see. You need to rest now. You don’t want the cufflinks to expose that you’re alive and give Jensen the chance to hound you again, right?”

“Yes.”

Natalie was surprised at how quickly Baron grasped her thoughts.

It was almost as if the two of them shared some unspoken understanding.

And yet they hadn’t known each other for long.

Baron didn’t raise any objections.

“All right. I’ll go now. Stay here and rest. When I come back, I’ll bring you something good to eat.”

Natalie couldn’t help but smile.

Whether she could eat or not wasn’t the point-his tone made her feel like a child being carefully looked after.

Jensen had once spoiled her endlessly too, but in the end she learned she had only ever been his second choice.

With Baron, she only felt gratitude. She didn’t want to think about anything else for now.

Seeing she was tired, Baron pulled the blanket over her and called Yvonne in to care for her. Then he left the room.

Finn rushed to meet him as soon as he stepped out.

“Mr. Gunn, are you sure you’re fully recovered? Maybe you should rest a little longer?”

“No need. I’m going out.”

Baron didn’t stop walking.

Finn froze.
