When She Rose From The Ashes Novel

Chapter 459 Dad , He's Mine Chapter 459 Dad , He's Mine +10 Free Coins Chris had been the first Stone family bodyguard Natalie had ever met - and the first person from that family to show her any genuine kindness . Maybe he'd only done it because he was on their payroll , but Natalie never forgot how he'd helped her . Baron glanced at Waylon without speaking . Chris was , after all , part of the Stone family . Whether or not the Stones cared about what happened to him , Baron did - because that man had risked his life to protect Natalie .

Still , Baron wanted to give the family the chance to take the lead on this . Waylon immediately caught his silence and understood . The more he saw , the more satisfied he became with his son - in - law . He smiled and said , " I thought Baron already told you about Chris . What ? He didn't ? My dear , that's not good . You can't have your husband keeping secrets from you now , can you ? " Baron's eyes widened in disbelief . " Mr. Waylon , aren't you playing a little dirty here ? You've known about Chris from the start ! " " Of course I knew , " Waylon said with mock innocence .

" But I figured you'd tell my daughter yourself . Turns out you didn't ! Tell me , Baron - if you're hiding little things like this , what about the big things ? What happens if it's something that affects my daughter's interests , hmm ? " He looked far too entertained by his own meddling . Baron groaned inwardly . Mr. Waylon's really trying to stir the pot here . " My dear , don't listen to him ! I can explain , really - I swear ! " Baron said hurriedly , almost ready to raise his hand in oath .

Natalie caught the glint of amusement in Waylon's eyes and the tension in Baron's shoulders , and she couldn't help rolling her eyes . " Dad , stop scaring him . He's still recovering ; if you give him a heart attack , Mom will definitely come after you ." Her words hit Waylon like an arrow to the chest . " Natalie , I'm your father ! " 1/3 18:45 Fri , Oct 17 Chapter 459 Dad , He's Mine ( 52 ) +10 Free Coins " But he's my husband ," she shot back with a teasing smile . " Without him , how would you have ever found me ? " That one line shut Waylon down completely . He knew she was right .

If not for Baron , they'd still have no idea she was even alive . For that alone , Waylon owed the man for life . " Fine , I won't tease him anymore ," he said with a chuckle . Baron let out a deep breath . " Dad , next time you want to mess with me , at least give me a warning first ; my heart can't take it . " Waylon burst out laughing . What father wouldn't be pleased to see his son - in - law put his daughter above all else ? A man who worried this much from a simple joke - clearly loved her deeply .

When the laughter died down , Waylon said , " If I warn you first , it wouldn't be teasing , would it ? Listen , as long as you treat my daughter sincerely , you're my son . But if you ever hurt her , then you're my enemy . Son or enemy - you decide . " Baron grinned . " No need to think about that . I'm definitely choosing ' son . " Watching them banter , Natalie felt her heart swell with warmth . She'd worried her father might resent Baron because of his past , but clearly , she'd been overthinking it . " Okay , that's enough from both of you , " she said , laughing .

" I was asking about Chris . If he heard this , he'd be crying by now . " From the way they were joking , she could tell Chris was fine . Waylon chuckled . " Crying or not , I can't say . But your husband's the one who found him . He's been resting under Baron's care . I'm the one paying his salary , but the only thing I've gotten from him is a quick text saying he's safe - I haven't even seen his shadow . " Baron jumped in right away . " Come on , dad , that's not fair . You called me yourself , told me to find Chris as soon as possible . I was just following orders .

I found him badly hurt - you told me since I knew the Witch Doctor , I should take him there for treatment . You even said it yourself , he got hurt protecting my wife , so it's a work injury , all expenses on the Stone family . He's still healing ; of course he can't come see you yet ." 2/3 18:45 Fri , Oct 17 Chapter 439 Dad , He's Mine Natalie's eyes widened as she listened . So Baron had already rescued Chris . " Baron , what exactly happened ?

" ( 52 ) +10 Free Coins She'd thought Chris had only been knocked out - but if Baron had to call in the Witch Doctor , his injuries must have been serious . Baron sighed , his face darkening as he remembered . " My dear , Chris is a damn good bodyguard . The man's got guts - no fear of death at all ." He began to explain . It turned out that when Anna's people came to kidnap Natalie , Chris had spotted them first . He tried to warn her , but Anna's crew was large - and trained mercenaries at that .

Chris had only ever gone up against regular thugs , maybe a few with some skill , but against real mercenaries , he never stood a chance . 18:45 Fri , Oct 17 Chapter 460 Hug Wars Chapter 460 Hug Wars
