Chapter 152: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
Chapter 152 So You Buried Her Fast Chapter 152 So You Buried Her Fast Waylon and Flynn's expressions had turned grim . " Mr. Baron , there's something I'm not sure I should ask . " Flynn was the one who finally spoke . 68 +10 Free Coins Waylon , after all , was the elder ; it didn't feel appropriate for him to press , though his face clearly darkened . Baron , of course , noticed their reaction . Their expressions were far better than those of Natalie's foster parents in the Summers family . " Go ahead . " Baron rose and began brewing a pot of tea for Waylon and Flynn .
He wasn't the kind of man who brewed tea for just anyone . The two before him - one his father - in - law by blood , the other Natalie's brother - had treated Natalie decently enough ; because of that , he was willing to engage with them . As for whether Natalie would acknowledge them , Baron still had to wait for her decision . Watching Baron calmly prepare tea , Flynn felt a flicker of anger . " Mr. Baron , I want to ask - what exactly is your relationship with my sister right now ? " Calling her my sister made Baron's hand pause slightly . " You'd better stick with Ms. Summers for now .
She hasn't made her stance clear yet . Yes , the test proves you're family , but what kind of family doesn't even know their daughter is alive for over twenty years ? " There was a thread of reproach woven through Baron's words . If the Stone family had discovered the baby switch earlier , would Natalie have suffered so much ? Waylon's aura collapsed in an instant . " To tell you the truth , the situation back then was complicated . Not long after Natalie was born , 1/3 Sep 25 Chapter 152 So You Buried Her Fast 68 +10 Free Coins my wife developed postpartum depression .
She could n't bear to let the servants care for the baby , insisted on doing it herself , but she wasn't strong enough . One day , while nursing , the baby suffocated . My wife broke down completely ; she nearly followed the child into the grave ." He let out a heavy sigh as he spoke of the past . " I know - you probably think I failed as a father , that I wasn't strict enough about how we handled our child's death . But I was also a husband . My wife had just endured childbirth , only to face the loss of our daughter ; her depression had spiraled .
Faced with that , I had to put the living first , didn't I ? " Waylon's explanation was reasonable enough ; still , Baron's gaze hardened . " So you buried your daughter in a rush ? You didn't even bother confirming whether she was truly your child ? " His voice was frigid , stripping away all courtesy . Waylon had spent decades commanding the business world ; few had ever dared confront him so bluntly . Flynn started to speak , but Waylon stopped him . He met Baron's eyes directly . And from them , he saw just how deeply Baron loved Natalie .
The seasoned businessman suddenly felt heat sting his eyes . " Of course not . Natalie was the princess our entire family had prayed for ; even if she had died , how could we have treated it carelessly ? I remember - we asked relatives to arrange a paternity test before laying her to rest ." Waylon frowned as he recalled , his voice low . " My wife , Ruby , was in terrible shape , and Flynn was still so young . I couldn't handle everything on my own . I asked my younger brother , Xenon , to take care of it . At the time , Ruby would try to kill herself whenever anyone mentioned our daughter .
I couldn't let her see the child again . So I entrusted everything to my brother , insisting he get a test done . The results from back then are still locked in my safe ." From the look on Waylon's face , Baron could tell he wasn't lying . Hearing that there had been a paternity test , Baron had to admit Waylon's actions hadn't been careless , His expression softened slightly . " Sit . Have some tea . It's a fine green ." 2/3 14:27 Thu , Sep 25 Chapter 152 So You Buried Her Fast : 68 +10 Free Coins Baron poured three cups with smooth precision and set them before himself and the two men .
Waylon watched the way he handled the tea , unable to resist giving him another look . They said Baron was a ruthless devil who killed without blinking , cruel and violent , never kind to anyone . But a man who could brew tea with such skill . Could he really be so heartless ? Waylon suspected the rumors about Baron were wrong . Or perhaps Baron simply didn't want outsiders to see this side of him . Waylon pulled Flynn down to sit opposite Baron and raised his cup . The aroma was rich ; the taste , calming .
Only when he saw Waylon drink did Baron continue , " Now that the DNA test is out , it proves Natalie is your daughter , the one you thought died back then . Which raises the question - what happened with that original test ? Mr. Waylon , didn't you ever ask your good brother about it ? " The crux of it all lay with Waylon's younger brother . Waylon sighed at Baron's question . " My brother has already passed away . " 14:27 Thu , Sep 25
