President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 171

In fact, Natalia was terrified of closing her eyes when she was conscious.

After all, she had experienced that kind of trauma in her previous life. Subconsciously she just found it hard to have faith in her surroundings.

It was fine when her eyes were open, but there was no way she could see what was happening around her as she closed her eyes even though she was conscious. The fear which buried deep in her memory would be triggered instantly.

Therefore, she had actually taken a lot of determination to be willing to close her eyes and commit herself fully to him.

The man noticed her fingertips were trembling slightly, so he reached out his hands, took her into his arms and asked, “Are you cold?”

She shook her head.

She pursed her lips and swallowed, but she couldn’t hold back in the end and asked with a little tremor in her voice, “Will you let go of my hand?”

“No.”

His voice was firm, and she felt slightly reassured.

As long as he was there, she wouldn’t be scared.

Soon there was a strong wind blowing towards her and the sound of propeller was getting closer. She knew that the plane was landing.

Then there was a sudden weightlessness, she lost her balance and exclaimed.

When she recovered her wits, she was being carried by the man.

She didn’t open her eyes, but her fingers were gripping the man’s sleeve and her face looked a bit pale.

Archie asked in a low voice, “Are you still scared in this way?”

She froze as she just realized that the fear she had unconsciously revealed had long been caught in his eyes.

Her small body was huddling in his arms and her nose was filled with his fresh and calm scent, which soothed her heart.

Gradually, she didn’t seem so scared anymore.

She showed a smile and shook her head.

Only then did he land a kiss on her lips and said softly, “Trust me.”

“Um.”

He carried her in her arms and took strides forward.

She could feel him holding her onto the plane and it was quiet as there was no other sounds except for the whirring of the propellers.

After they got on the plane, he sat down but he didn’t put her down.

Instead, he placed her right on his lap and kept holding her in his arms.

Natalia felt a little embarrassed and wanted to open her eyes, but soon she heard his stern voice when her eyelashes twitched slightly.

“Don’t move.”

She immediately didn’t dare to move and open her eyes again, but the curiosity in her mind grew stronger and stronger.

Where was he taking her?

No one told her the answer and the plane soon took off.

She could feel the weightlessness at the moment it took off. However, she didn’t feel scared as she was being held in his arms.

It was still quiet around, but this time she could hear footsteps passing by occasionally apart from the sound of propellers.

Soon, the plane became steady and began to fly at even speed.

She didn’t know exactly where he was taking her, so she could only wait quietly with her eyes closed.

To be honest, there was some excitement and anticipation in her mind.

After all, she didn’t know what kind of surprise would await her next.

After about ten minutes, the plane finally landed.

Although it didn’t take long, it seemed that a long time had passed as she closed her eyes.

Her body turned light as the man carried her in his arms and got off the plane.

She could feel the cold wind at night blowing on her face, but it soon disappeared and was replaced by a warmth that exuded a fresh fragrance.

What is this place again?

Her heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity.

But unfortunately, she couldn’t open her eyes yet without his word.

Even though she was curious about the surroundings at the moment, she still decided to follow his lead. Otherwise, he would certainly be angry and it wouldn’t be a good deal.

Archie put her down, then he seemed to walk to the side to do something. He didn’t let go of her hand on the way, but she could feel his feet taking two steps further away.

Afterwards, his low and magnetic voice was heard.

“Alright.”

She immediately opened her eyes.

There was only darkness before her eyes and nothing peculiar happened. As there were no lights around her, she didn’t even know where she was at this moment.

Fortunately, there was a pane of glass in front of her and she could see the sparse stars in the sky when looking upwards, giving some brightness.

However, this faint light couldn’t illuminate much at all, let alone to make her see clearly the surroundings.

She was slightly disappointed.

“Where is this …”

Before she could finish her words, there was a sudden pop sound.

All the lights around her turned on at once. It wasn’t the blinding kind of lights, but the fine and star-like blue lights that lit up around.

The lights spread from their feet and went into the distance. She could hardly see an end of it.

She felt like she was in the middle of the vast sky and the galaxy was under her feet. Although the surroundings were in an endless darkness, there was such a path that was paved with light, leading you and attracting you to move forward.

Natalia was completely stunned there, staring blankly at everything before her.

Just then, a warm touch came to her hand.

As she raised her head, she was attracted by his eyes which were deeper and more radiant than the starlight.

She trembled slightly as he gripped her hand more tightly and smiled at her, then held her hand to walk forward together,

It was a path paved by the Milky Way.

Dots of starlight spread beneath their feet. Apart from that, nothing could be seen in the rest of the place.

It felt like a floating road. Through the galaxy beneath their feet she could see the shadow of the mountains. The unclear outlines that reflected beneath her feet made her feel even more exhilarated.

She felt that she was going to be stunned!

She stared at it with her wide eyes and felt so surprised.

On the other hand, the man next to her looked much calmer, holding her hand tightly as he led her all the way to the end of the path.

“Archie, where is this? It’s so beautiful!”

He curled his lips faintly, “You guess.”

Natalia thought for a long time with her eyes open, but she still couldn’t figure out where such a beautiful place could be in the town of Kima.

He smiled and touched her upturned nose, not telling her directly but keeping her in suspense.

“You’ll find out later.”

Well …okay!

It looked like he was planning to carry out this surprise all the way through today.

She didn’t ask any more questions. Both of them walked for about five or six minutes before the galaxy beneath their feet completely disappeared.

The surroundings fell into a silent darkness once again.

Natalia was somewhat nervous and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

He took her into his arms and said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid.”

After pausing for a moment, he suddenly said, “Close your eyes first. Open your eyes after I’ve counted to three.”

She looked up at him curiously. Although there was no lights around, she could still feel his warm and determined gaze.
