President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 52

Natalia’s back instantly stiffened and she dared not move.

Her eyes widened in the darkness.

Was he... really asleep?

It was so abnormal today. He seldom fidgeted while sleeping. Was he acting?

Natalia waited for a moment and Archie stopped fidgeting too. The room was so quiet. Only the shallow breathing of Archie could be heard.

When she was sure that the man behind her was indeed asleep, she carefully lifted his arm, trying to move it away.

However, Archie murmured from behind.

And the arm rested on her waist tightened to wrap her.

What’s more, Archie’s whole body pressed on her, with his handsome face buried in her long hair, as if she was his pillow. She was totally imprisoned by him now.

Being hugged by him, Natalia felt almost suffocated, and her whole body stiffened.

The shallow breathing was sprayed in her hair. The warm air poured on her neck, making her shivered, like an electric current running through her body.

She went blank instantly with her head buzzing.

But Archie didn't realize it at all. The hand on her waist even encircled her more tightly.

Natalia gritted her teeth.

This was more than embarrassing.

This was dangerous.

She couldn't stand it anymore. Regardless of whether she would wake him up or not, she held his hand and tried to pull it away.

However, the arm on her waist suddenly strengthened its grip and she could not pull it away no matter how hard she tried.

Just as she made another try, she heard a low smirk from behind.

Until then did she realized that he was making fun of her.

She turned her head.

The light was turned on instantly.

Natalia stared at the man lying on the bed, whose trick was cracked. He stopped his pretending, but his arm still did not loosen her waist. He held his head on the pillow with the other hand and look at her with a smile.

"You finally stopped pretending?"

His voice was full of banter.

Natalia said angrily, "You are awake at all the time, right?"

"Aren't you, too?"

"I..."

Knowing that she was wrong, Natalia didn’t know how to retort. So she grumbled, "So what? I just pretended to sleep, which did no harm to you at all. But your pretending aimed for pestering me. "

Archie looked at her calmly.

She was really not a good liar. Her eyebrows drooped slightly, which showed a trace of her panic. She was like a lost but adorable deer now.

A harmless lie like this could make her feel so guilty.

Archie smirked and asked her, "What did you hear from outside the study tonight?"

Natalia didn’t know how to answer him for a while.

She looked up at him.

His eyes were deep and dark, like good black jade. They looked calm and unperturbed in the dim light. Natalia, however, felt a little uncomfortable by his staring.

It was he who had flirted with an unknown woman and made fun of her, but he stared at her as if she was the one who had betrayed him. She got a little annoyed at the thought of this.

Gritting her teeth, she stared at him, too.

"What did I hear? Everything, of course! So what? What are you going to explain to me? "

Archie got amused by her angry look.

He stroked her head, making her hair even messier.

Natalia jumped away like an annoyed cat.

"Don't touch me!"

Archie laughed, as if he had got more delighted by her annoyance.

After all, no one would have thought that Natalia, who was always reversed and distant to others, would be like this in front of him.

This side of Natalia only appeared in front of him.

He felt like he had unarmed all her defense, making her being who she really was.

Natalia was exasperated by his delight.

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she got up and was ready to go out.

Archie instantly stopped smiling and pulled her back.

"Where are you going?"

Natalia said coldly, "Go on laughing! I'll sleep in the guest room. "

"Don't go."

Natalia got irritated again.

"Archie Mccarthy! That’s enough! Although our marriage is not out of love, but at least it’s kind of pact! Shouldn’t you at least respect you partner’s feelings? I’m OK you hook up with another woman, so why do you mind me sleeping in the guest room? "

Archie stared at her. He got more amused.

"Mrs. Mccarthy, may I consider it as you being jealous?"

Natalia choked and widened his eyes.

She did felt some strange emotions in her heart, but she never considered them as jealousy.

She dumped his hand. “Jealous? Don’t be silly! I'm telling you. It’s none of my business. You can hook up with whoever you like. Anyway, I'm not your real wife and I’m always available for a divorce. "

Then, she picked up a pillow and walked out.

Seeing she was really angry, Archie hold her hands.

"Well, sorry. I was wrong! You're not jealous. It's all my fault, all right? "

Archie continued to explain, "It’s a misunderstanding. You are my wife, my only wife. I never have other woman except you, never to mention mistress. If you don't believe me, you can investigate me, or ask Brian."

Natalia glanced at him and sneered.

"Brian is your sidekick. Do you think I’m stupid enough to believe his words?"

Archie choked.

But her retort sounded reasonable at a second thought.

Well, she was indeed a hard nut to crack. And at such critical moment, Even a man as brilliant as him could become a bad problem-solver.

He changed his way and coaxed her, "Well, what do you say? I can swear that except you, I have no other woman. If I ever lied to you, I would go to hell."

Before Archie could finish her words, Natalia's eyelids throbbed.

She felt bad somehow, and before she could realized it, her hand had covered on Archie’s mouth.

Archie laughed.

Natalia glared at him.

"I'm telling you, don't fool me around. If oaths work, why there are so many dicks in the world?"

Archie took her hand and said with a smile, "Yes, oaths are useless, but I mean it. Honey, now that I have married you, I will not betray you. Both my sense of morality and upbringing will not allow me to do that. Do you believe in me?"
