Prompted by Baron, Natalie also felt a surge of excitement. "Forget it, don’t we still need to go see that old friend? Next time, let’s bring the children with us." Natalie felt a twinge of guilt, recalling that she hadn't truly fulfilled her maternal duties for her children during those five years. She felt she would be letting the children down if they couldn't experience this vibrant, down-to-earth side of life together. Baron said nothing, simply stopping the car, taking Natalie’s hand, and leading her into the night market. Up close, the market was bustling with life, a scene of thriving prosperity everywhere. Although many people here were simply making a living, the atmosphere gave Natalie a long-lost sense of grounded stability. Baron bought some delicious snacks from somewhere and immediately handed them to Natalie. "Try this. They say the grilled squid here is really good. Before I became the Godfather abroad, whenever I had a little money, I’d come out with Shauna and the others to eat grilled squid. But in Murica, grilled squid is very expensive. A lot of times, we couldn't afford it." Baron spoke of his past while eating. Seeing him eating so happily and without worrying about his image, Natalie suddenly felt hungry too. "Isn’t it a bit unseemly to eat like this?" Natalie was putting up a final resistance. Baron directly put the squid skewer into Natalie’s mouth.Natalie tried to protest but was instantly captured by the flavors on her taste buds. Mmm! So delicious! She stopped worrying about whether others were watching her and started eating just like Baron. Baron’s eyes curved in a smile, reflecting only Natalie’s image. They quickly finished the skewers. Natalie felt a little full. "I never thought this food would be so tasty." "In high society circles, this kind of food isn’t considered high-class, but to ordinary folks, this is life, flavor, and a state of being. Actually, being rich isn’t all that great. I was born into wealth but grew up on the street. I feel that the greatest joy is being able to live life exactly as you please." Baron’s words struck a chord deep within Natalie’s heart. Whether as the former Natalie or the current Natalie, she seemed to have always worn the facade of a wealthy young lady. From etiquette to rules, they felt ingrained in her bones as she strived to be a qualified noblewoman. But was she happy? Her time in the Summers family goes without saying—she was certainly unhappy. Now that she was back with the Stone family, cherished by her parents and brother, adored by Baron, and loved by her children, she should logically be happy. Yet, Natalie knew that her heart felt hollow, always missing something. Hearing Baron’s words, she suddenly realized that she was missing her own soul. Although she was back in Ocean City, had opened her own studio, formed a family with Baron, and had two lovely children, it all felt like a pre-programmed life trajectory. Go through life step-by-step, rigidly following the rules. It wasn't bad, but it lacked a certain passion. Natalie looked at Baron beside her and suddenly asked, "Baron, if I were to say now that I want a spur-of-the-moment trip, would you think I was too impulsive? Too thoughtless?" "Why would you ask that? You absolutely have the capital and the time to take a spontaneous trip." Baron looked at Natalie with surprise. He keenly noticed a frightening brightness in Natalie’s eyes, though it vanished quickly. For a moment, he thought he saw a soul desperate to break free from its constraints. Is Natalie unhappy? Baron suddenly realized this. Natalie said a little sheepishly, "I know I have the time and the capital, but there are so many things going on at home right now. Rachel hasn’t been caught, and does the truth of my mix-up relate to the rise and fall of the entire Stone family? What was the conspiracy behind my being swapped? Will the women who died at the old mansion because of Logan affect the Stone family? With so many things piling up, if I went traveling on a whim, it doesn’t seem like the right thing for a family member to do." Baron felt a pang of heartache hearing Natalie say this. "None of this is your problem. Whether it was your being swapped before, or the issues the Stone family is currently facing, or the future direction of the Stone family—none of it was caused by you. You are just Natalie. You are yourself first, and then my wife, the children’s mother, my parents’ daughter, and a child of the Stone family. You need to make yourself happy first before you consider anything else. Don’t let the title of Stone family daughter confine you to this circle. That’s not what your parents and I want to see."
