Chapter 225: Tears, lies, And a Heart of Fire Novel
Chapter 225 Susie Caught Turning It Off Baron hurried over , and when he saw the scene before him , the corner of his mouth twitched . His hands even itched a little . He and Natalie had been worried sick , and these two little ancestors had been sleeping here ? Carefree as could be - using the sky as a blanket , the ground as a bed - not even afraid of bugs . He glanced at Natalie . Seeing her face full of tenderness and affection , he instantly deflated . Fine . If my wife doesn't mind , then neither do I. " I'll carry them to the car .
" He bent down at once and scooped Susie into his arms . The girl knew how to enjoy herself - curling up on Sean like a pillow . Natalie , seeing Baron lift their daughter , bent down to gather Sean . The children seemed to recognize their parents ' scent ; they nestled in , found a comfortable spot , and drifted right back to sleep . Natalie looked at her son's peaceful face , her heart swelling with warmth . After returning to the villa , Baron still wasn't at ease ; he personally checked them over and confirmed they were only asleep from exhaustion . Finally , he relaxed .
By then , Yvonne had woken . When she learned she'd been drugged and the children taken , guilt consumed her . " Baron , Natalie ... you should scold me . Thank God the kids are safe ; if anything had happened , how could I have faced you ? " Natalie couldn't bear to see her like that . " When people with bad intentions make their move , you can't stay awake twenty - four hours a day to guard against it , can you ? Don't blame yourself . The children are safe - that's all that matters . " Since Natalie hadn't laid blame , Baron chose not to press further either .
" I'll make something good for them , help ease the shock ." 1/3 But Natalie stopped him . " Let the staff handle it . You need to rest too . Instead , let's share information ." Her words made him realize - she wanted the truth about the kidnapping . Baron sat down , poured her a glass of water , and played back the recording of Jake and the driver's conversation . He had already saved it . Natalie's brows furrowed deeply . " So the amusement park incident was something Terry came up with on the spot ? " " Exactly .
Otherwise there's no way he'd have overlooked such a massive flaw in equipment he inspected just two days before . I've already sent men to capture him . Once I get answers , I'll hand him and the others over to the police . Too many innocent people were hurt in that collapse ; the public deserves justice ." Natalie agreed wholeheartedly with his decision . Feeling responsible for losing track of the children , Yvonne volunteered to join the hunt for Terry . Baron didn't stop her . The children woke half an hour later .
The moment they saw the familiar villa , they came running from their rooms . " Daddy ! Mommy ! " Susie and Sean barreled toward them . Baron and Natalie each scooped one into their arms . " Were you scared ? " Natalie asked quickly , studying their faces , Susie puffed up proudly . " Mommy , don't worry ! I had Daddy's tracker hairpin - nothing was going to happen ." At that , Baron's face darkened . He flicked her forehead with his finger . " And you dare say that ? Didn't I tell you never to switch it off ? Why did it take you so long to 2/3 send me your location ?
" Susie rubbed her head , sulking . " I'm just a kid ! I can't live under your surveillance all the time , can I ? Isn't it normal to turn it off now and then ? The moment something happened , I turned it on right away . " " And what if next time you don't get the chance ? " The more Baron thought about it , the more fear churned inside him . Seeing his grim expression , Susie didn't dare argue further . Sean tugged at Natalie's sleeve , unable to stand watching his sister get scolded . Natalie caught his pleading look ; she couldn't bear it either . She quickly stepped in .
" Alright , they've learned their lesson this time . They won't switch off the trackers again . " Since Natalie had spoken , Baron let it drop . After checking on the children , the family finally went to rest . They all slept deeply through the night . The next morning , when Natalie opened her eyes , Baron was gone . She touched the empty spot beside her - it was ice - cold . He must have been up for a while . Maybe he hadn't even slept . With something this big happening to the children , he wouldn't rest easy until he got answers . Natalie understood him , and her heart ached for him .
She washed up , then had Chris prepare something good for Baron to eat . After that , she went to check on the kids - the kindergarten they'd chosen for them was opening today .
