When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 589

**TITLE: HereSelf 589**
**Chapter 589 The Secretary**

Baron’s eyes flicked over to Natalie, catching her gaze as it lingered a moment too long on Jonas. A surge of irritation bubbled within him, and he couldn’t help but voice his displeasure. “Am I not good-looking?” he demanded, his tone a mix of jest and genuine insecurity.

Natalie, feeling the weight of his jealousy, sighed in exasperation. The sight of Baron acting this way was a stark contrast to the cold, arrogant demeanor she had always known. “Why are you acting like this?” she thought, momentarily stunned by this unfamiliar side of him. Yulia, who was witnessing this spectacle for the first time, could hardly process what was unfolding. In her memories, Baron had always been so composed and aloof; seeing him act out like a petulant child was bewildering.

Flynn and the others exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of amusement and annoyance. They had seen Baron in his jealous fits before and could only muster a collective eye-roll. It was a familiar routine, and they had learned long ago that it was best to let him have his moment without interference.

Jonas, on the other hand, wore a small, knowing smile. He chose to remain silent, but the glimmer in his eyes suggested he found the entire situation rather entertaining. Baron, feeling the shift in attention toward him, locked eyes with Natalie, his expression demanding an answer. “Wifey, tell me, who’s better looking? Me or him?”

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Natalie quickly replied, “You, you, you! You’re the good-looking one, alright?” Her voice was laced with urgency, as she feared that if she dared to say Jonas was more handsome, Baron might impulsively consider drastic measures, like plastic surgery.

With her affirmation, Baron’s mood brightened considerably. “Exactly! I’m just better looking than him,” he declared, puffing out his chest with pride.

Jonas coughed lightly, the corners of his mouth twitching in amusement at Baron’s childish antics. “Perhaps we should revisit that switch-at-birth incident from twenty-odd years ago,” he suggested, a teasing glint in his eyes.

“Yes, yes! I heard that incident is related to the Gunn family?” Flynn chimed in, eager to stir the pot. The mention of this old wound was enough to draw Ruby’s immediate attention; the moment Jonas broached the topic, she turned to Yulia, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern.

Yulia, still slightly dazed from Baron’s earlier display, quickly gathered her thoughts. “Oh, right. It… it should be related to the Gunn family,” she stammered, her mind racing to connect the dots.

“Should be?” Baron’s brow furrowed, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. “It either is or it isn’t. What do you mean, ‘should be?'”

Clearing her throat, Yulia met Baron’s gaze. “Do you remember our father had a secretary?” she asked, her voice steadying.

“That’s your father,” Baron replied curtly, the tension in the room palpable.
