Grief, Betrayals, and a Core of Blaze

Chapter 572 A Godfather in the Kitchen

Baron, however, said dismissively, "He's not worthy of me returning to the Gunn family to inherit his filthy business." "Then what about Yulia? Should we use her to stir up more chaos in the Gunn family?" Layne knew Baron's background. Seeing an opportunity, he wished he could return the suffering Baron had endured back then, doubly. Baron looked at the sleeping Natalie and said lightly, "No need. I don't want anything to do with the Gunn family ever again. We'll just wait and see. As for Yulia, reject her and don't contact her again. I have no favorable impression of anyone from the Gunn family." "Fine, fine. You're the chairman. You call the shots." Layne was still thinking about discussing company matters, but Baron was already getting impatient. "Alright, if that's all, I'm hanging up. My wife is waking up soon, and I'm going to cook for her." Layne nearly choked. "What did you say? The Chairman of Grant International Holdings, Murica's Godfather Mr. Baron, is actually cooking for a woman?" "It's domestic bliss. What would a single guy like you know about it?" Baron hung up, but when he turned around, he suddenly realized Natalie, who should have been in bed, was gone. "Natalie!" Baron's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively turned and ran out. In his panic, he slammed his knee straight into a chair, the pain searing, but he couldn't be bothered with it. Natalie heard the sound of something being knocked over outside and quickly came out of the bathroom. "What's wrong?" She still had toothpaste foam at the corner of her mouth, her pajamas hung loosely on her, and her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion. Baron froze when he saw this, only then realizing this was his own villa. That's right. Who would dare snatch someone from Mr. Baron's villa? He had been too worried. "It's nothing. I just suddenly saw you weren't there and panicked a little," Baron said, slightly embarrassed, only then realizing his knee hurt. He instinctively rubbed his knee. Natalie noticed it immediately. She looked at the nearby lounge chair that had been moved, recalled the crashing sound from earlier, and instantly understood. "You were worried about me?" Baron rubbed his nose and didn't speak, but he clearly looked embarrassed. It was the first time Natalie had seen such an adorable side of Baron. She smiled and said, "Wait for me a moment." Natalie went back into the bathroom, finished brushing her teeth, rinsed her mouth, and casually put her long hair up. Then she walked out, expertly found the first-aid kit, and came over to Baron. "Sit down. Let me see your knee." Baron wanted to say it was nothing; he had suffered far worse injuries. But seeing Natalie's worried expression, he found himself sitting down. Natalie rolled up his pant leg. Seeing the purplish bruise on his knee, she frowned."You're a Godfather, after all. Try to be a little more composed. This is our home; no one can take me away from right under your nose. Not unless I go willingly. Don't panic like that again. You just end up getting hurt." Natalie fussed over him, but Baron felt his chest swell with warmth. No Yulia, no Trent, could compare to Natalie's gentle words. "I know." Baron watched Natalie finish applying the medicine, then said, "Are you hungry? I'll go make you something to eat." "You just sit still. It's not like we don't have staff. Baron, you don't have to do everything for me yourself. It makes me feel useless." Natalie's words made Baron a little upset. "What nonsense. You can design such beautiful jewelry; how could you be useless? I'm the one who wants to cook for you personally." "But that's not something a man should be doing." "Then what should a man do? Earn money to support the family? I earn enough to support us. So what's wrong with taking the time to cook for you?" Baron's words left Natalie speechless. Having such a capable and considerate husband, she truly felt very happy. "You're going to spoil me rotten." "That's fine. I want to." Baron's words made Natalie's heart pound. She quickly stood up and said, "Alright, you can cook then. I have to go to the studio today. Our launch event is approaching, and I can't handle it all myself." Baron remembered that Rachel had been captured and James was under his control. The truth would come out sooner or later. Natalie couldn't stay cooped up at home forever. He nodded and said, "Okay. I'll take you to the studio after I make breakfast. I'm free today anyway. I'll go see how my wife works."
