President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 174

She held the glass and took one sip after another. Archie also poured himself a glass of wine. Holding her hand, he sat on the sofa.

It was getting more and more quiet at night on top of the mountain. In the transparent glass house, they snuggled up on the sofa while casually drinking some wine.

In the sky, there were twinkling stars; at the foot of the mountain, there were lights of the houses. Their hearts felt warm as they looked at the view.

Natalia thought that she could hold her liquor, so she drank the wine without any worries. But unexpectedly, she already felt quite dizzy before she could finish a glass of wine.

In a daze, she leaned on Archie’s body and asked, “Archie, why am I feeling so dizzy already?”

Archie lowered his gaze and gave her a sidelong glance,

He had specially brought this premium royal wine here from the wine cellar in the Middleton family. It had great flavor, but it was also strong.

This was the reason why he would only allow her to drink a glass of it.

Even if she just took one glass of it, the girl had now had red cheeks and a drowsy and dazed look on her face. Looking at her, he instantly knew that she was already drunk.

He placed the glass of wine on the table beside him, “I will carry you to the bathroom to take a bath.”

When he finished talking, he had already carried her up in his arms.

Natalia was in a daze. Although she was not completely sober, she still had a clear memory.

“Take a bath? Aren’t we on top of the mountain?”

The man didn’t reply to her. Soon, he brought her to the bathroom.

Although the bathroom was not considered to be big, it was not small. There was a huge bathtub in the middle of the room. Light from the glimmering water was reflected on the surrounding walls. The atmosphere in the room was dreamy.

After filling the bathtub with water, Archie placed her in the bathtub.

“Are you going to take a bath alone, or do you want me to help you?”

After she was soaked in warm water, Natalia shuddered and became more sober.

When she realized her situation, her face instantly reddened. She crossed her arms across her chest and kept on shaking her head.

“I…I will take a bath alone.”

Archie smiled. He didn’t insist on his ideas, but turned around and exited the room.

Time passed slowly.

She didn’t come out of the room even though Archie had waited outside for a long time.

He took a sip of wine and looked at the time.

Forty minutes had already passed.

Although a temporary water heating system was set up on the top of mountain, the weather was quite chilly. Since it was for temporary use only, hot water could not be delivered to the top of the mountain continuously.

It had been forty minutes, and the water should have been cold.

He couldn’t help but frown slightly. Although there was an indoor air heating system, it was still cold at night due to big temperature difference between day and night. Considering the cold temperature, he got up, walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked on the door.

“Natalia, have you finished taking a bath?”

Unexpectedly, nobody responded to his question.

The man frowned even deeply. He tried to pull the door open, but he noticed that it was locked from the inside.

This young woman! Wasn’t she too vigilant?

Archie found the whole situation quite hilarious. There were only the two of them at this place. If he wanted to force himself on her, could a mere lock stop him?

He shook his head helplessly. He could only return and find a key to unlock the door.

“Natalia! Have you finished your bath? I am coming in!”

There was still no response to his question.

He then realized that something was amiss and hurriedly opened the door.

The mist had already dispersed in the bathroom. He saw the girl sitting in the bathtub with her eyes closed. She leaned on the bathtub motionless and seemed to be in deep sleep.

He was instantly at a loss for words. He quickly walked towards her and dipped his hand in the water to test the water temperature.

Just as he expected, the water was already cold.

He instantly had an unhappy expression on his face.

When he turned around, there was a steamy scene in front of his eyes.

…

Natalia was carried out of the bathtub.

She made a cute sound unconsciously, snuggled up in his arms and murmured, “Cold.”

At that moment, Archie looked extremely awful.

Doing his best to suppress his anger and lust, he wiped the girl’s body, carried her out of the bathroom and threw her on the bed.

Due to his anger, his movements became quite rough. Natalia was finally awake with her blurry eyes open. In a daze, she gazed at him.

“Archie, what is wrong with you?”

The man looked at her with a gloomy expression. His dark eyes were glinting with strong desire.

She then realized that something was amiss. Why was her chest cold? Her feet were also cold.

She lowered her gaze and looked at her body.

She instantly felt shocked and widened her eyes. “Ah!” she screamed. She then hid under a blanket.

“Ah! Why am I… not wearing clothes?”

The man laughed coldly, “What do you think?”

“I…”

She then remembered that she had fallen asleep while taking a bath in the bathtub.

Did he carry her out of the bathtub?

Then, didn’t he see everything?

Imagining the scene, her small face immediately reddened with embarrassment. She hid her whole body under the blanket, and only the hair on top of her head was seen.

“I want to get dressed. You…You can go out first!”

But this time, it seemed that the man had decided to defy her.

While unbuttoning his shirt, he laughed coldly in a very rude manner, “It’s late at night. Are you going to let me stand outside and wait for you to wear your clothes? The temperature outside is below freezing.”

Eh…

Natalia’s mind went blank. Was it that cold outside?

Although the temperature in Kima was around twenty degrees during the daytime, the temperature outside would indeed drop below freezing late at night. The temperature difference was very big.

Just when her mind went blank, she felt that there was a weight on her body. The man had already pounced on her.

“Ah! What are you…doing?”

She was immediately frightened and was more desperate to hide herself under the blanket. While trying to hide herself under the blanket, she shouted, “Don’t come close to me! I am not wearing any clothes!”

Her petite body snuggled down under the blanket. She desperately wrapped herself in the blanket. It was as if she was in a cocoon.

Archie only found the scene hilarious.

After removing layers of the blanket for a long time, he found her head.

At that moment, the girl’s hair was already disheveled. Her small face was flushed and resembled an appetizing ripe apple. Her watery eyes made her look pitiful.

Suppressing his pity for her, he laughed coldly, “Now, do you know that you should be scared? Why didn’t you think about this when you were taking a bath just now?”

Natalia knew that she was in the wrong, but she still felt wronged.

“I…I didn’t do it on purpose! Can you turn around first? I will call you when I have finished wearing my clothes.”

“Ha! Which part of your body have I not seen?”

Natalia didn’t reply to his question.

His words literally struck a chord.

She also didn’t know that she would fall asleep in the bathtub. It was all because of that glass of wine.

Oh, wait a minute. The wine was not at fault! It was the man. He definitely did it on purpose!

After she had thought about this, she puffed out her cheeks and gazed at him with her clear eyes. She didn’t know that she looked more coquettish than angry now.

She had no idea that there was a huge impact on the man when the woman who he loved was being so coquettish in front of his eyes, especially in such an ambiguous environment.

Archie’s gaze became even deeper.

His eyes had a glint of green and resembled the eyes of a wolf. Looking at his eyes, Natalia had an irregular heartbeat.

After doing her best to hide herself under the blanket, she said while stammering, “Why are you … looking at me?”
