President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 169

Only then did he look happier.

They finished the dinner in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere. They only finished after the night crept in and the fire-like twilight disappeared.

They stayed in the small town for two more days and soon it was time for them to go back.

On the last day, Natalia didn’t arrange anything.

Archie went out around the afternoon, saying that he had something to do. Natalia didn’t think much about it. But then, it was almost six in the evening, and he wasn’t back yet.

She got a bit worried.

After all, they were in an unfamiliar city and a foreign country. More importantly, she called him many times, but he didn’t pick up his phone.

Natalia felt more and more nervous and at this moment, her phone rang.

She quickly picked it up, and the person on the phone was Nancy.

Nancy sounded urgent on the phone, “Mrs. McCarthy, this is not good. Mr. McCarthy got hurt.”

“What?”

“It’s quite serious and I cannot explain it on the phone. Please come over as soon as you can! We are at the east side of the beach.”

She then hung up.

Natalia didn’t even get the chance to inquire more about the location.

Her face blanched as she stared at her phone.

Archie got hurt?

What happened?

He went out saying that he had something to do, and how did he get hurt?

Nancy wouldn’t be so perturbed if it wasn’t serious. So, Archie had to be quite badly hurt.

Natalia couldn’t waste any time. She ran out with her phone, not even grabbing her handbag.

During their call, Nancy only mentioned the east side of the beach and nothing more. Natalia could only run in that direction. She looked around while she ran.

Luckily, their villa wasn’t too far from the beach.

After a while, she arrived at the said location.

But there was nothing on the beach, not even another person. Where was Archie?

She frowned.

She tried to call Nancy again.

Before she could dial the number, there was a loud noise behind her.

She was startled and turned around. The old wooden boat which was initially there exploded into pieces.

After that, a small, one-foot-tall silver robot walked towards her.

Natalia was taken aback, and was dumbfounded.

She did not know what to do and before she knew it the robot was in front of her. It raised its arms in the air.

There was a letter in its hands.

Natalia was shocked at what she saw. She subconsciously grabbed the letter.

The robot said in a mechanical but nice voice, “Turn left and go straight. He’s waiting for you there.”

Natalia was confused.

He? Who?

Thousands of thoughts crossed her mind, but she didn’t dare to be sure.

She quickly ripped the letter open. The vigorous and powerful handwriting could only belong to that person.

“Turn left and go straight.”

It was short, but she could recognize his writing.

Natalia already knew what was going on and what he was planning.

She felt a bit trolled. At the same time, she calmed down and wasn’t worried anymore.

She started to saunter towards the left of the beach.

The beach was in a semicircle, surrounding Mount Praia. He probably cleared the area and hence there wasn’t anyone else there. Natalia walked slowly, she was nervous and embarrassed at the same time.

Not long after, she arrived around the corner of the mountain.

It was the end of the beach. She couldn’t go forward anymore, otherwise, she would have to enter the sea.

She looked around but couldn’t find the person she was looking for.

She took out her phone and wanted to call him. Just at that moment, her phone rang.

She quickly picked up the call.

“Look back.”

The person’s deep and magnetic voice could be heard from the phone. Natalia was taken aback, she quickly turned around.

A huge ship appeared out of nowhere on the sea. Technically, it was a cruise.

It was too far away and she couldn’t see it clearly. It was also evening and there were mists around the beach. The cruise was veiled.

After around 5 minutes, the cruise appeared clearly before her eyes.

She realized that it was an extremely extravagant cruise. The man stood at the fore of the cruise. He was wearing a white suit and was standing straight. In the evening light, he looked like a midcentury prince. He was alluring and handsome.

Her heart started to beat fast.

What was he planning?

She had a hunch about what he was planning, but she didn’t dare to confirm it. But her heart couldn’t help but beat faster and faster.

The man walked down the footboard elegantly.

“What are you doing?”

She couldn’t help but ask when he walked up to her.

Archie smiled. He was wearing a suit, he looked calmer and sterner than usual. He gained an extra casual yet noble aura.

Her face flushed from embarrassment just by looking at him.

He grabbed her hand and laughed, “Don’t ask. Just follow me.”

Natalia went with him onto the cruise.

It was decorated nicely inside. Covered with white veils and red rose petals, it looked very romantic.

The cruise started its engine when they got on it.

Archie brought her into a room. A team of world-class stylists were awaiting her.

The stylists politely bowed and greeted them as they walked in, “Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy.”

Archie let them do their magic, “Please style her up.”

“Yes.”

Natalia was nervous, and she stared at him as she said, “Archie.”

“Be good, don’t ask any questions yet.”

He ruffled her hair gently. His large and warm palm made her calm and gave her strength. Natalia pursed her lips. In the end, she chose to believe him and didn’t ask anything.

The make-up room was large. There was a pink evening gown hanging on the rack on the side. There were chips of diamonds embroidered on the dress, looking exquisite and fancy.

Natalia sat on the chair and let the stylists do whatever they wanted.

An odd feeling emerged in her heart as she stared at that pretty gown.

She didn’t understand what he was planning. Her intuition was telling her that he had prepared her a surprise.

But what kind of surprise could this be?

This was their first time going on a trip together. They only wanted to experience the feeling of going on a normal date like a normal couple and weren’t planning to do anything else.

Not to mention that even though Archie was good at flirting, he was quite conservative at heart.

He wasn’t the most romantic person.

She couldn’t believe that he would prepare her a surprise.

If Archie, who was changing in the other room right now, knew what she was thinking, he would be so sad.
