President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 164

After the meal, they said their goodbyes to the couple and walked out.

They left the bistro at four o'clock in the afternoon. They were advised to walk straight since the night market will begin at five o'clock. They decided to have a look because there was plenty they could see there.

Archie had never been to a night market before, and he was intrigued.

When he noticed Natalia's delighted expression, he got even more interested. On their way, they enjoyed the beautiful sceneries.

When people passed by on a tandem bicycle, Natalia begged to ride one as well.

As a result, Archie rented one near the highway. As he pushed it out, he realized he didn't know how to ride a bicycle.

Natalia burst with laughter.

Who would have thought that the multitalented Mr. McCarthy didn't know how to ride a bicycle.

Archie was a little irritated. He'd been raised in the most wealthy manner possible; his main method of transport was a chauffeur, and he'd never ridden a bicycle.

Natalia endured her laughing over his rage.

She then told him to seat in the backseat and that while she led from the front, he could just follow from the back.

Archie rode his bicycle unwillingly, but Natalia began riding after telling him, "Let's go."

They rode their bicycles along the street, letting the air brushed on their faces. He was fully immersed in the aroma of her refreshing shampoo.

Archie fell in love with this type of soothing environment, and he felt at peace.

Natalia hadn't ridden a bicycle since she graduated from middle school, yet she managed to ride it successfully. She was overjoyed.

And started singing the song she used to hum when cycling to school.

Her humming was slightly off-key since she was riding with someone behind her and needed extra energy. This had a major impact on her singing.

Regardless, she was born with a good voice, so her humming was acceptable.

Archie paused for a moment before asking, "What music is that?"

"Praia By The Sea", have you never heard of it before?"

Archie was at a loss for words. Her humming was out of tune, yet she expected him to recognize the song?

Noticing Archi's stillness, Natalia added, "The original name of this song is Poem of Praia, it's a piece performed by a well-known pianist, and it's even won prizes..."

“I know...” Archie's face clouded.

Natalia nodded and shrugged, saying, "I forgot you're very good at piano."

On their bicycle, they soon arrived at the night market described earlier.

The night market had only just begun, and several stalls were still being set up. Natalia directed Archie to an ice cream store that had gotten positive internet ratings. While they waited for the stalls to open, they ate ice cream.

The shop played light and pleasant music, and the owner was a Turkish man who entertained customers by doing creative ice-cream skills.

Natalia finished her ice cream while sitting in the shop, bored. She didn't want to go to the night market right now, so she went to see the owner performed.

When the owner noticed her arriving, he offered if she wanted to give it a try.

Natalia hesitated for a while, but eventually accepted the shovel and cone and began creating ice cream with his help.

When she was learning this, she already knew how to build a flower on a cake with butter, so it was similar to learning the same method but with a different substance. Furthermore, the owner was patient, and she figured it out in quick order.

Natalia purchased the ice cream she had made and delightedly handed it to Archie, saying, "Here, this is for you."

Archie raised his brow as he examined the oddly-shaped ice cream in front of him. He accepted it but couldn't help but remark, "This is so awful, did you create this?"

Natalia nodded and said, "Yes! If you don't like it, return it to me.” She stretched out her hand to take the ice cream.

But he won't give it back; instead, he ate half of it in one bite, saying, "It's impolite to take back items that have been offered to others."

Natalia broke out laughing as she observed his whining expression while eating the ice cream.

So she let him go this time and carried on walking.

The streetlights were switched on, and the night market had begun.

As previously said by Hannah, the night market was busy with both visitors and residents.

Natalia strolled about with Archie, watching here and there while Archie trailed behind like an attendant, frowning all the way.

Natalia noticed he appeared irritated by the seemingly chaotic and filthy environment, so she left him and dashed to the front.

Archie was concerned about her safety, so he ignored the filthy surroundings and raced up to follow her.

“How much does this cost?”

Natalia was squatting in front of a stall, trying on a silver ring, when Archie noticed her.

“Two hundred.".

“Two hundred? It's pricey.”

“It isn't too pricey. It's made of real silver, it's not silver-plated ring, and the thread wrapped around it was made by hand using temple-blessed thread, ensuring good health and longevity.”

“Good health and longevity are good,” Natalia said with a smile. "Please give me another one for two hundred, and I'll pay you straight away.”

“Two hundred? I don’t make a dime at that price!”

“All right, then, I'll add another twenty, take it or leave it.”

“Aww, this lady is such a deal hunter, a hundred and twenty apiece, I don't make much...”

“Come on, let's do this! You are a good person; please sell it to me.” As she said, she withdrew her money from her pocket and presented it to the owner.

The owner accepted the money and said, "All right then, I'll sell it to you because you're a lovely lady." He then brought out another male ring with the same design and presented it to Natalia.

Natalia turned around and thanked him as if she had gotten some type of valuable treasure.

When the owner noticed her speedy spending, he remarked, "Do you want to have a look at these earrings? They are also blessed by the temple.”

Natalia refused with a shake of her head. “No, the rings are fine,” she responded, believing the earrings were out of date.

She then approached Archie and placed the ring on his middle finger.

Archie frowned and tried to remove it right away, but Natalia stopped him.

“Do not take it off; it has been blessed by the temple to ensure good health and longevity.”

Archie disliked the seller's sales techniques while also despising Natalia's intelligence. “Are you sure you believe that?”

“Of course, why not?”

She strolled to the next stall selling handmade masks, looked at them, and casually stated, "One should believe in nice words even if they aren't real since it's still a sort of blessing, isn't it?"
