What did she mean by that ? Was she still angry over him taking her five years ago ? What should he do ? Say something , or keep quiet ? He found himself caught in the dilemma . egg Before he could decide , Natalie suddenly spoke . " Baron ." He snapped out of his thoughts . " Huh ? " " Since you're close to Witch Doctor , do you know what he likes ?
" Her question startled him . " Why are you asking that ? " " I want to design him a tie clip . He did save me , after all , and I want to repay that debt myself . " She spoke calmly , but her words carried determination . Baron brightened with joy . " Whatever I like , he likes . Just design it according to my taste ." Natalie gave him a look and shook her head . " Where's the paper and pen I asked for ? I already have an idea in my mind . " " I'll have someone bring them right away . " He answered quickly , then slipped his arms around her from behind .
Resting his chin lazily on her shoulder , he whispered , " Don't forget , you still owe me a pair of cufflinks . " " Aren't you wearing cufflinks already ? " she asked , uncomfortable with his clinginess . Her mind drifted to the five years she had spent with Jensen . Though their relationship had looked fine on the surface , intimacy had been almost nonexistent . Even something as simple as kissing or holding hands had always been her initiative . Jensen had never once taken the lead . Only now did she realize how blind she had been .
If he had truly loved her , how could he never have touched her ? How could every small gesture of intimacy be left for her to initiate ? A trace of mockery crossed her eyes . Suddenly , Baron nipped her earlobe . It hurt , tingling and numbing at once . " What are you doing ? Are you some kind of dog ? " she snapped , exasperated , trying to push him away but failing . His voice came low and rough , tinged with grievance . " Which man were you thinking about just now ? Am I that easy to forget ?
" 1/3 18:32 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 126 Cocoon to Butterfly 51 +10 Free Coins Natalie almost laughed in disbelief . " Do your men know you're this jealous and petty ? " " I don't care if they know or not . What matters is that you know . If you treated me better , would I need to be jealous and petty ? " His tone grew more wounded with each word . His face loomed so close to hers that Natalie's heart softened against her will . " Alright , alright , I'll design something for you . But this time my theme is breaking the cocoon and becoming a butterfly . It doesn't really fit a man .
" " Who says it doesn't ? You're Sunny . As long as you want to , you can make it work ." His words lifted her confidence instantly . " Fine , I'll give it a shot . " She shrugged and added with mock disdain , " Now move your head away , will you ? You're like some overgrown husky ." The moment the words left her mouth , she froze . It really did feel like that . She looked at him again , and his smile spread wide and dazzling , yet it carried an edge of danger . " I don't think my body's fully healed yet . I'm going back to rest ." She turned quickly to leave . " Natalie !
Are you asking for trouble ? Who are you calling a dog ? " Baron leapt up to chase her . The courtyard rang with her laughter and playful cries for mercy . Sean and Susie stood in the corridor watching , shaking their heads at the childish scene . " I seriously suspect my high IQ came from a genetic mutation . " " I think so too ." Shauna , however , was laughing happily . It looked like Mr. Gunn's good days weren't far off . " So , are you two still going to find Ms. Summers ? " Shauna asked . " Forget it . Didn't Mom say she hasn't rested enough yet ?
" Susie answered seriously , leaving Shauna speechless . Sean rolled his eyes , tugged Susie along , and led her away . Meanwhile , Flynn had just returned to the Stone family home when he found his mother Ruby suffering another attack . Even so , she clutched a photograph tightly in her hand . " Mom ! Are you alright ? Butler , get the car ! We're going to the hospital ! " Flynn held her tightly and rushed out . Ruby's face was pale as paper , her body cold , yet when she saw Flynn she didn't panic .
Instead , 2/3 18:32 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 126 Cocoon to Butterfly 51 +10 Free Coins there was faint relief in her expression . " Flynn , don't bother saving me . I've lived long enough . I want to go find my daughter . Once I die , I'll see her again . It's been so many years ... I don't even know if she'll still recognize me . " Her words made Flynn's eyes burn . " Mom , don't talk nonsense ! We'll go to the hospital first . I'll call Dad right now . " " I miss my daughter so much ... " Ruby's tears slid down her cheeks .
Her breathing was already labored from her clotting disorder , and every breath was a struggle . Flynn was terrified she might really slip away . The entire ride , he urged the driver again and again to go faster .
