When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 272 Who Cares About That Call

The moment Baron finished speaking. Natalie’s face darkened.

“At a time like this, you’re worried about a phone call? What’s going on with this injury?”

She took his wrist in her hand. On the inside of his wrist was a shallow scratch.

It had happened when Jensen’s car swerved into him; his sleeve had snagged and cut him. Even Ruby hadn’t noticed it earlier, since the wound was hidden on the inner wrist. Baron never imagined Natalic would catch it.

That feeling warmed his chest.

“It’s nothing. I was dodging a car while driving; my sleeve caught and scraped me.”

Natalie bent slightly, leaned close, and blew gently across the wound.

“When we get back, we’ll disinfect it and put on a bandage. Later, I’ll design a set of cuffs for you myself, so something like this won’t happen again.”

She fussed over him with such care it was like he might shatter in her hands.

Flynn stood to the side, feeling once again like the unnecessary one.

A grown man, with a scratch that would scab over in no time, and his sister was fussing over him like this?

Baron caught Flynn’s expression, but his own mood was soaring.

“Alright, but make sure you rest too. Forget about my cufflinks for now–take care of your work first. That’s what really matters.”

He sounded so considerate, but Flynn nearly winced. Seriously? That sweet–talking? My sister doesn’t notice?

To his surprise, Natalie quickly replied, “It’s fine. My senior’s helping with the studio; I can set aside some orders. You’re my husband–designing a cuff for you won’t take any time at all.”

“Then thank

you, sweetheart.”
