President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 185

That's when Shawn came in.

He was probably here to see Jessica. So, when he entered the dressing room and saw Natalia sitting there by herself, he was slightly stunned.

He knew Natalia was on the set, but he just didn't expect to see her here.

The makeup artist didn't know about what had happened between Natalia and Shawn, but she knew that he was Jessica's fiancé.

It was the first time she'd seen him visit since the launch.

She smiled at him and said, “Mr. Miller, you're looking for Jessica, aren't you? She'll be here any minute. Why don't you wait here for a while?”

Shawn automatically wanted to refuse, but when he saw Natalia sitting there, he said yes.

The makeup artist asked her assistant to get Shawn a glass of water. The assistant looked at him quietly and noticed that the young master of the Miller family was even more handsome than in his photos.

With his good looks, many people would like him if he wanted to be an idol.

But he might not be interested. After all, he came from a wealthy family. He didn't have to work so hard to get into the entertainment business.

Everyone thought Jessica was really lucky to find such a handsome and rich husband.

Shawn had no idea what was going on in their heads. From the moment he came in, his eyes had been fixed on Natalia, who was sitting there while the makeup artist worked on her.

His feelings were complicated.

Back when they were together, he offered Natalia the idea of getting her into the entertainment business.

He asked her about that only once. And when she refused, he said nothing more.

And now, she decided to get into this business on her own.

Didn't she once say that she found the entertainment business annoying?

She also said she didn't like the spotlight and that she preferred to work quietly behind the scenes.

He still remembered he felt relieved hearing that.

It was good for him to have her behind the scenes. At least, she wouldn't steal Jessica's thunder.

He knew her strength and her beauty behind her mediocrity. She could be much more successful than Jessica if she wanted to be.

That was something he didn't want to see in the past.

Now, he did not feel the same again looking at her.

The dressing room was quiet and awkward.

After a while, Shawn couldn't resist asking, "Natalia, long time no see. How have you been?"

The makeup artist raised her eyebrows in surprise.

So, these two know each other!

Then she thought of Natalia and Jessica's relationship, and it suddenly clicked.

They're related. He was her sister's boyfriend, so even if they weren’t familiar, they naturally knew each other.

What was really strange was that Natalia and Jessica didn't talk much on set. They were sisters but acted as if they were total strangers, which was why others often forgot their relationship.

Natalia lowered her eyes slightly and ignored him while she asked the makeup artist to apply eyeliner.

Shawn was embarrassed and a little reluctant.

She was no longer the woman who looked up to him and would do anything for him.

She was now cold, indifferent, and impatiently resisting.

In particular, her occasional and spontaneous annoyance felt like a sharp needle stabbing into his heart.

Shawn wanted to say something more but Jessica walked in.

“Shawn!”

She saw Shawn and was so happy to see him that she ran and hugged him.

"Why didn't you come to see me sooner? Do you know how much I miss you these days?"

The makeup artist gave an awkward cough and said with a smile, "What a loving couple."

Shawn's back was slightly stiff.

But he slowly hugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "I have been busy for a few days. I came here as soon as I have time today."

Jessica threw her head back in his arms. "I knew your work was always more important than me."

“How come?”

Shawn uncomfortably took her hands and said, "Well, someone is still making up here. Let's go out and leave them alone."

Jessica gave Natalia a look with a hint of pride.

But she still obeyed him and went out with him.

After they left, the makeup artist said, "Looks like they really love each other. There are so many fake things in the entertainment business. I haven't seen such a good couple in a long time."

Natalia snorted and said no more.

Soon, the makeup was done.

Natalia went out and practiced her lines while Jessica went to put on her makeup.

Shawn was probably free today, so he had been staying with her.

The two were so close that many people on the set envied them.

Natalia didn't care. She sat on the chair, working to memorize her lines.

Meanwhile, Nancy took a glass of iced watermelon juice and handed it to her. "What the hell," she scowled, "those people have no idea what kind of cheating bastards they have been and think it's pure love!"

Natalia took the watermelon juice and had a sip before saying slowly, "No matter what, it's true that they're together now. That's good enough for Jessica."

Nancy froze.

She looked nervously at Natalia and asked gingerly, "You won’t feel uncomfortable, right?"

"Huh?"

Natalia looked at her blankly and smiled at the awkwardness in Nancy’s eyes. "What are you thinking? I am not interested in him a long time ago."

Nancy was finally relieved.

"Yes, you have Mr. McCarthy. He's the nicest guy in the world. The likes of Shawn Miller are nothing like him. He doesn't deserve you!"

Natalia couldn't help laughing.

But when Nancy brought up Archie, she remembered that she hadn't called him in two days because she was busy filming.

During the first few days of the shooting, he would call her almost every night, and they would chat for an hour or two.

The day before yesterday she was filming at night and missed his call. She called him back in the wee hours. Afraid of interrupting her sleep, he said a few words hurriedly and hung up.

To this day, he hadn't called again.

Natalia thought to herself that she should give him a call if she finished her job early tonight.

While she was thinking, she heard a low cry of surprise from the other side of the dressing-room.

"Wow! How beautiful!"

"Jessica, you’re so lucky!"

"Dear lord, it must cost a lot of money for such a big diamond ring!"

She looked over curiously and saw Jessica standing at the door of the dressing room holding a big bouquet of roses while Shawn was on his knee with a diamond ring in his hand, putting it on Jessica's finger.
