President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 51

Natalia went downstairs, trying to explain to Dottie.

But Dottie did not believe what she said at all.

Besides, she persuaded Natalia, “That’s OK. Mrs. Mccarthy. You don’t have to be embarrassed. It’s a good thing that young couples have lust for each other. Only in this way will you be pregnant soon. So would our Mccarthy mansion thrive... "

Anyway, Dottie chattered a lot, totally ignoring her explanation.

Natalia gave up when she found that Dottie was very opinionated.

Technically speaking, Archie and she were husband and wife, for whom kissing and hugging were all too normal. So it was not a big deal to be bumped into by the elders, a little embarrassing, though.

Natalia decided to abandon her plan to salvage her lady image in Dottie’s mind. Instead, she poured a glass of milk and headed upstairs.

When she passed by the study, she suddenly heard someone was talking inside.

It seems that Archie was talking on the phone.

She didn't care at first, and was about to pass by, but she suddenly heard Archie was coaxing someone on the other side of the phone.

"Sweetie, be good. Take the medicine, then go to bed early today, okay?"

Her body stiffened.

She was nailed to where she stood.

"I'll be back in a while."

"Be good, and I'll accompany you when I get back, okay?"

"Yes, of course Anny is the sweetest baby in the world."

The sweet talk in the study continued.

Most of the time the man was coaxing her, in an incredibly gentle tone Natalia had never heard before.

She could even imagine Archie smiling, full of tenderness.

It was a sweet scene, but she was chilled. Like having been poured a bowl of icy water from her head, she even felt her spine chilled.

The low voice of Archie came out, so did his pleasure.

"Well, I'll miss you too. Good night."

He hung up the phone.

The room went back to silence for a moment. Then, there was the sound of footsteps. Archie was heading out.

Natalia's face changed.

She fled away somehow.

She ran into the bedroom and slammed the door backhanded.

Archie just felt a gust of wind, and then the bedroom door was closed.

He was petrified, and then he frowned as if he knew something.

Dottie passed by downstairs at this time. Archie stood in the corridor and asked, "What's wrong with Mrs. Mccarthy?"

Dottie got confused by his question.

"Didn't Mrs. Mccarthy just go upstairs? What's wrong?"

Archie furrowed his brows again.

With no interest to continue the topic, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

The bedroom was a bit dim. Natalia was sitting on the bed, flipping an entertainment magazine.

Archie walked over and asked in a causal way, “Did you just go by the study?"

Natalia took a glance at him and made a dry cough, "Yes, just passing by. Why are you nervous?"

Archie didn’t answer her.

Natalia, no need to meet his eyes, could feel they must be staring at her at the moment, trying to read her emotions.

She got tired of this topic somehow. So, she pretended to yawn and put down the magazine.

“It’s too late. I’m going to sleep.”

Then, she lay down and pull up the quilt. With her back faced him, she closed her eyes.

Seeing the way she was, Archie’s eyes darkened.

Without further explanation, he head to the bathroom to take a shower.

Natalia couldn't fall asleep at all with the noise in the bathroom.

All she was thinking about was those flirting words she overheard from the study.

They sounded so intimate. She wouldn’t believe it if she hadn’t heard in person.

Then, Natalia thought of what Archie said when he forced her to get the marriage license, and the scenes of these days. She felt bitter.

The good thing was they had only been together for a short time. Although they were namely husband and wife, they were more like business partners.

She would try her best to play the role of his wife, and he would act as her husband when necessary.

That’s enough.

She didn’t believe in love anymore, after being betrayed once.

So it's really good, wasn't it?

Natalia kept reassuring herself and she finally calmed down.

But part of her heart was still a bit disappointed and hollow.

When Archie finished his shower, Natalia was still awake.

She nestled in the quilt, eyes closed, but her curled eyelashes fluttering. Archie knew that she was acting at a glance.

He smirked but did not reveal it. Having dried his hair, he head towards the bed.

Natalia knew he was back.

Both of the sound of the hairdryer and his footsteps were reminding her of his existence. It was really hard to not know he was back.

Then, the other side of bed collapsed a bit and she was greeted with a refreshing fragrance.

Natalia frowned. She didn’t notice Archie’s smell before, for she usually fell into sleep very soon. But today, the smell was very aggressive, making the big bed small and narrow.

Especially when Archie approached her on purpose, she felt more insulted by his threatening vibe.

She almost held her breath and tensed her body to restrain her impulse to escape.

All of a sudden, she felt the room darkened. Archie must have turned off the lights.

Our senses tend to be more sensitive in the darkness than when there is light.

Their body did not contact with each other, and there was even a small gap between them.

But she just couldn’t ignore him.

Didn’t know how long it had been.

Natalia pretended to murmur, then turned over and rolled aside.

A distance of about half a meter was immediately drawn between them.

She felt more relieved instantly.

Before Natalia could enjoy her triumph, she felt something warm was pressing on her back. Archie moved over.

Natalia frowned.

She turned her back to him, but could even feel the warmth of his chest.

This was too intimate...

Gritting her teeth, she rolled again.

But Archie seemed to be glued to her. He squeezed over again.

Natalia was furious.

She opened her eyes. The regular and peaceful breath of Archie could be heard clearly in the darkness.

She wasn’t sure whether he's really asleep or was acting, just like her. Dithering for a while, she took a deep breath and moved to the bedside for the last time.

Even if it was a wide bed, she reached the edge of it when she had rolled aside three times in a row.

If she rolled again, she was going to roll to the ground.

However, it seemed that Archie had determined to embarrass her.

He glued to her as soon as she stopped.

What’s more, he even rested one arm on her soft waist this time.
