Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 545 Jealousy

Since she had brought them back from the high seas, she had to be responsible for the mother and son's safety. Baron understood immediately. Fine! My wife is planning to take Holt back with them. He just had to respect her decision. When Holt heard they were taking him, he subconsciously started looking for Beth. Beth only just walked over then, saying excitedly, "You’ll be called Holt from now on. Your teacher said the name means ‘bright.’ She hopes your future in life will be smooth. If you really like drawing, you must study hard with your teacher, understand?" Holt nodded and threw himself directly into Beth’s arms. Seeing the matter was settled, Baron smiled and said, "In that case, pack your things and come back with us. This place is too close to the residential complex where James is staying. We can’t guarantee he won’t be discovered. If Holt falls into his hands again, who knows what will happen. Besides, there’s an operation planned here tonight. It’s not safe for you here." Beth had wanted to refuse, but when she heard Baron mention an operation tonight, she naturally didn't want to be a burden to him. "Okay, I’ll go pack right now. It’s just... I’ll be troubling you so much." "It’s fine." Natalie stroked Holt’s head and then smiled at Baron. This man always knew what she was thinking and spoiled her without limit. What did I ever do to deserve him? Baron felt Natalie’s affectionate gaze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift. Just then, Baron’s phone rang. "Mr. Baron, we’ve found James' location." "I’m on my way! Don’t alert him. Tonight, besides capturing Rachel, we’re taking down this James as well."Baron hung up after speaking. "Let’s go. I’ll send you all back. Tonight, you just stay at home with Mom and the kids. Dad, my brother-in-law, and I will go out. Yvonne’s body hasn't recovered yet, so I’ll have Shauna send people over to protect you." At this critical time, Baron didn't dare to relax his guard in the slightest. Natalie didn't argue either. She didn't have much ability to protect herself, so naturally, she would just follow Baron’s arrangements. Although Holt was sitting to the side, he kept glancing at Natalie and then at Baron. He seems to recognize this man. This uncle treated him at the hospital before!Even though he was wearing a mask at the time, he could feel that this uncle in front of him was the one who treated him. Holt knew he had been sick for the past two years. His body felt awful. But his so-called father didn't care if he lived or died and even let other people bully him. Holt quickly lowered his head. He took out his drawing paper and started to draw. Baron grew a little anxious at the sight. "This kid... We’re about to leave, why is he drawing again? Why not wait until he’s back at the villa to draw?" But Natalie waved her hand and said, "Painting requires inspiration. This is especially true for a child like him who has experienced so much at a young age. His inner world is different from others. Since he has the desire to draw right now, let him draw." When Baron saw her doting on the boy like this, he felt a little sour inside. "You’ve never even been this attentive to our own son," Baron muttered. His own son was his own flesh and blood, after all. Even if he competed with him for Natalie’s attention, Baron couldn’t say much. But now this brat Holt, who wasn’t even their kid, was getting all of Natalie’s attention. He felt jealousy rising in his heart. It’s lucky this kid is only six or seven. If he were any older, I’d definitely kick him out. Natalie didn't know Baron was jealous. She just heard his words and felt a need to reflect. He's right.It seems like I’ve always been busy. Busy preparing for the new product launch, busy dealing with my own and the Stone family’s affairs... It seems I really haven’t paid any attention to my two children’s talents. Maybe their drawing skills are good too? Thinking of this, Natalie felt that as a mother, she truly couldn't compare to Beth."It’s my negligence. It seems I really haven't been attentive to our two children." Natalie’s words immediately made Baron want to slap himself. "No, that's not it, honey. Our children are obedient and sensible. They know we’re busy, so they don’t cling to us. I was just talking nonsense just now, don’t take it to heart. It’s not that you don’t have them in your heart; it’s just that you have too much going on and can’t tend to them." "Baron, you don’t have to make excuses for me. I truly have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. It was one thing when I didn’t know they existed when they were little. But now they are back by my side, and I still give them so little time. No matter what the reason, it’s not an excuse for me to neglect them."
