"Baron, you just wait!" Flynn spat, eyes cold. Ruby slapped him across the back without hesitation. "How dare you threaten your sister's husband? Do you think I coddle you?" "Mom, mom, mom-ow, ow, ow! Take it easy! I'm your real son!" Flynn protested, sulking. Ruby laughed. "A son-in-law is half a son. Baron is my son now too.

Try bullying your brother- in-law from now on." Baron grinned, pleased. "Mom, I am your son." "Good boy." "1 Ruby felt indebted to Baron for saving Natalie. Truth be told, she wanted to put him on a pedestal. More than his background or influence, it was his feelings for Natalie that had won her over. That mattered more than any title. Flynn sulked at how badly things had gone for him. "Mom, am I even your biological son?" he asked, hoping for sympathy. "Go ask your real mother," Ruby shot back, then let go of him. Flynn rubbed his ear that hadn't even gone red and glared at Baron.

"Did you catch that guy? You chased him and came back empty-handed!" "Flynn, what are you saying?" Ruby warned, ready to swing again, and Flynn took a few quick steps back. Baron's expression sobered. "He moves well. I didn't catch him. I nearly got hurt-he's skilled." Ruby's worry spiked. "Baron, are you hurt?" "No, Mom, I'm fine. Just a close call." Baron smiled to put them at ease, then turned to Flynn. "This isn't simple. My wife said Yvonne brought something back and they met a fake cop. We shouldn't open the disk here. Dad's not home, and this needs to be handled perfectly.

I think we should take it to the Mateo estate and see Brian." At Baron's suggestion, Flynn's face lit up; Ruby paused in thought. 1/2 8:41 Tue, Oct 21 Chapter 493 The Secret Passage Footsteps sounded faintly outside. Baron's eyes darkened. "Yvonne." he called softly. 410 +20 Free Coins Yvonne moved quickly to stand beside him. "Someone's coming," she said, her training sharp. Flynn immediately positioned himself in front of Ruby. "It's not safe to confront whoever's out there. We should use the secret passage to get to the Mateo estate." Even Flynn agreed with Baron now.

If they opened the disk here while Dad was away, they might be distracted by its contents and miss whoever else had come-risking an ambush. "Follow me." Ruby, sensing the urgency, grabbed Natalie's and Yvonne's hands and motioned them along. Natalie glanced at Baron, worried. He caught her look and shook his head with a reassuring smile. The tunnel entrance was in Ruby's bedroom. Once they were inside, Ruby twisted the wedding photo above the headboard. The bed slid aside and revealed a staircase descending below. Baron lowered his voice. "Mom, you go first.

I'll cover the rear." Natalie grasped his sleeve. She knew he could handle himself and that he wanted to protect them, but she couldn't accept him always being the one to put himself in harm's way. Her eyes were reddened but steady. "You're coming with us," she said. Flynn helped Ruby down the stairs first, then guided Yvonne after them. Seeing Natalie's red eyes pulled at his chest-he felt protective, even if he'd been wailing earlier. Baron had truly stood by the Stone family and by Natalie, and Flynn knew it.

Flynn grabbed a hand each and practically shoved them down into the stairwell, the sound of his voice brimming with forced bravado. "Quit dawdling. We don't do rear-guard heroics in this family. Who's nobler than who? We're family-whatever comes, we face it together. Keep the theatrics to a minimum; you're making my eyes water." 2/2 8:41 Tue, Oct 21 d.
