President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 40

Finally, forcing herself to calm down, she said.

"A minute, I'll put on a shirt."

With that, she opened the closet and started rummaging.

Archie was here, so she did not say she wanted to change a pajama, lest he felt she deliberately wore such sexy pajamas.

It was true that the dress wasn't what she was going to wear, but he didn't know that.

Natalia quickly found a matching bathrobe from the closet and put it on.

The robe fit well, up to her knees in length. With the waist tied and her breasts covered, she felt a little safer.

Archie didn't say anything the whole time, just that his pupils were dark, and the remnants of wine in his cup had been drained.

"Done?"

Natalia nodded.

"Then go to sleep!"

He stood up, walked over to the bed and suddenly began to undress.

Natalia's eyelids popped.

“What are you doing?”

Archie looked at her fussed look and frowned slightly, "Go to sleep."

Natalia realized that her reaction was a bit too much and forced a smile.

"Well, would you like to take a shower first?"

Archie looked at her for a moment and paused.

“Sure!”

He turned and went into the bathroom.

Natalia finally sighed in relief and closed her eyes, as if her whole body relaxed with the man's departure, dropping herself onto the bed.

Just then, however, there was a sudden sound of a man's voice in the bathroom.

"Honey, help me with my pajamas."

Natalia,

"..."

Why didn’t he bring clothes to the shower?

She had no choice but to get up slowly to get his pajamas.

The men's clothes were kept in a second compartment in the closet.

Compared to her dazzling clothes, Archie's clothes were much more monotonous.

They were uniform black, white and grey, interspersed with a few other colours, even the pyjamas are the most minimalist dark grey.

She took one and walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it.

The door opened quickly, only unlike earlier when she had opened it only a crack, this time it was fully open.

Fully open.

Archie stood there naked, dripping water all over his body. His hands still wrapped in the foam of shampoo on his head.

Droplets of water slid down that well-muscled chest, past his abs, and rolled down to that zone of sensual majesty.

Natalia's pupils instantly dilated.

"Ah!"

With a short gasp, she covered her mouth just in time.

The next second, she threw the clothes over, "Bang!"

A sound slammed the door shut.

"Archie!

Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Archie: ...... ？？？？

A man's voice came from the bathroom, "Honey, I'm taking a shower, why do I need to get dressed?"

Natalia, "..."

Ah !

It was going crazy!

She swore that the man did it on purpose!

What an exhibitionist!

Inside the bathroom, the man hooked his lips wordlessly.

Looking at the pajamas in his hands, he said nothing, put them on the rack and continued with the shower.

Natalia returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, still feeling the warmth surging up from her chest after a long time.

Images of what she had just seen kept flashing through her mind.

She found herself shamefully having that hint of appreciation.

Ugh!

Ugh!

Ugh!

This man is a goblin. Hold on!

Gotta hold it on!

But the more she thought about it, the more that sexy and seductive image lingered in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Natalia covered her face.

It was annoyed.

It didn't take long for Archie to finish his shower and come out.

The dark gray robe on him was originally a very homely style, but probably because this man was tall and long-legged with the most standard kind of broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted body, so it was just a simple robe, but it was actually fashionable on him.

Two long, firm calves were exposed, and at a glance, they were surprisingly sexy.

Natalia once again wondered if her fixation was getting worse!

Uncomfortably, she averted her gaze and turned to pull up the covers and pretend to sleep in an attempt to hide her blush and embarrassment.

The lights in the room dimmed, leaving only a single wall lamp in the corner.

Looking from a distance, it was like a cooked egg yolk in the darkness, giving a warm and down-to-earth feeling.

The mattress collapsed slightly and the man lay down.

She was tense, but luckily Archie didn't make any other moves. He respected her, so did he last night. Except for sleeping under the same blanket, he had always acted like a gentleman and never overstepped.

Natalia gradually put her mind down. His eyelids got heavier and heavier, and it wasn't long before she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Clara called her early in the morning, saying the lawyer who had notarized her mother's remains was found and asking her to go straight to the bank at ten in the morning.

When she left the house, Archie was not at ease with her being alone, and specially sent Brian to accompany her.

Natalia didn't refuse his kind offer and agreed.

When the two arrived at the bank, the Dawson family hadn't arrived yet, but the lawyer had arrived.

The lawyer, surnamed Brown, used to be Kiera's college classmate, and was trusted by Kiera because of the layer of relationship, which was why something as important as the relic was given to him for safekeeping.

Natalia met with him and said a few words.

She was curious and asked.

"Lawyer Brown, what exactly is the thing my mother left?

Why not just give it to me instead of waiting until after I'm married?"

It was the question she had been most curious about for years, but she never found the answer.

Lawyer Brown smiled, "Honestly, I don't know, but I guess there must be a reason!

As for what's inside ...... you'll find out later."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Natalia couldn't force it.

After ten minutes, the Dawson family arrived as well.

After what happened at the birthday party, the Dawson family's hatred for Natalia had seeped into their bones.

So it was still quite a surprise to her that they were so cooperative and willing to return her mother's relics.

But Natalia didn't say anything more, and the group got the safe as per the prior appointment.

It was finally opened by Clara's own hands under the notarization of Lawyer Brown.

What was lying in the safe was neither a large check nor real estate cash.

Instead, it was an antique-looking necklace.

Everyone froze for a moment.

Natalia was also a bit taken aback.

She vaguely remembered seeing the necklace once as a child, but couldn't remember exactly, only that her mother seemed to cherish it.

She picked the necklace up, and Lawyer Brown smiled.

"Miss Jessica, this is what your mother left you. It's now intact and handed over to you, I hope you'll take good care of it."

Natalia nodded.

Although she didn't know why her mother had left the plain looking necklace as a final gift for her, she supposed there was a reason.

And whatever it was, if it was left behind by the mother, it naturally meant something different.

She would be sure to cherish it and keep it.

Brian put the necklace into the safe he brought with him before the group walked out of the bank door.

As they parted, Clara gave her a deep-eyed look.

She said in a cold voice,

"Natalia, being Mrs. Mccarthy, you must be very proud of yourself now, right?"

Natalia looked at her indifferently, not humbled, "Knowing that I am proud, why do you ask me?"

Clara gave a cold laugh.

"You'll regret it sooner or later, and when the time comes, you'll fall to your knees and beg me."

When she finished, she got into the car with a group of people and took off.

Natalia stood there, frowning.

And for some reason, a vague feeling of unease grew in her heart.
