President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 53

Natalia looked at him and was somewhat convinced.

But at the thought of those sweet nothings on the phone, she found it hard to let them go.

Her face sank. She looked at Archie seriously and said, "Archie, I don't know why you married me or how long this marriage will last, but I hope that if one day, when you really want to end this marriage, inform me in advance. I don't mind if it is because you fall in love with others or you just want a divorce. But I hate betrayal, no matter what kind of relation we are, couples or business partners. Do you understand?"

Archie's face sank.

He looked at her coldly and asked, "You don’t mind if I fall in love with others?"

Natalia felt like she got a stab in her heart.

But she didn't know why she would feel this way.

She and Archie weren’t real couples. They just married for some other reasons. She had no right to stand in the way if he found his true love one day.

So she nodded.

"And you don't mind getting divorced?"

She nodded again.

Archie sneered.

Her gentle face also became cold and gloomy.

He got up and went out.

Natalia was a little confused.

Before she could realize it, Archie went back with two certificates in red.

That’s their marriage licenses.

Natalia’s eyelids throbbed. She didn’t know what Archie was going to do, but it must be something ominous.

Then Archie went to the front of the table with a lighter on his hand. Suddenly, their marriage licenses were on fire.

Natalia widened her pupils.

"Archie, what are you doing?"

She pounced on it, trying to snatch the lighted marriage licenses.

Only to be stopped by him.

Archie took her hands and pressed her against the wall.

"Natalia, I’ve told you. I, Archie Mccarthy, am a one-woman man, and would only get married once in my whole life. Since you always think I’m kidding, I will prove it in front of you today. Our marriage licenses have been burned. From now on, you will never divorce me! Never!

Natalia...

Why did he make a fuss? She didn’t mean it seriously.

She felt her wrist hurt by his clench.

She tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn’t make it. She surrendered.

"All right, I see. Will you let me go first?"

But Archie didn’t loosen his grip.

He stared at her and said, "Answer me, do you want a divorce or not now?"

Natalia rolled her eyes.

"Mr. Mccarthy, it was you who had an affair. Why grill me?"

Archie got amused by her words.

As if he was reminded of something, Archie rubbed her hair and whispered, "You silly girl!"

Natalia: ...???

Fortunately, Archie finally let her go and explained, "She is very important to me, but we are not that kind of relationship as you thought."

Natalia was suspicious of his words.

Seeing her questioning look, Archie smiled again.

"I'll take you back to D City later, then you'll know I’m telling you the truth."

Natalia's face changed.

Back to D City?

She opened her mouth, tried say something, but was stopped by Archie’s look.

He came up to her, took her hands and pressed her to sit on the bed. Then, he leaned over to kiss her cheek.

"It's getting late. Go to sleep. Good night!"

One night passed.

The next day, Natalia took Laura to Nathan's office as promised.

Jessica and Julia were also at Nathan's office.

Jessica was surprised to see Natalia.

"Sister, why are you here, too?"

Natalia looked at her indifferently. Jessica was wearing a white dress, with an overcoat of the same color. She looked like a proud princess.

Behind her were Julia and another girl.

She knew that girl. She was one of Jessica's distant cousins, whose name seemed to be Hazel Mayer.

Hazel used to be an online celebrity, but not very famous. Now she worked for Jessica's studio. People considered her as Jessica jr. for both being Jessica’s cousin and their resemblance on appearance.

Because of this title, she was doing well in the entertainment industry.

Jessica was also glad to cultivate her. After all, nothing could highlight her beauty and excellence more than a Jessica jr.

Natalia sneered in her heart at the thought of it. She said coldly. "I don’t think this office is for the exclusive use of you, is it?"

That meant, why couldn’t I be here?

Jessica's face froze.

She got embarrassed by Natalia’s mocking.

But she couldn’t argue with Natalia directly. After all, she had been keeping the image of a lady and socialite in the entertainment industry and there were many reporters at present. Making a scene in public would ruin her image.

Compared with Jessica, Natalia felt freer.

She could do whatever she wanted for she was not an entertainer.

Julia came forward and stretched out her hand to Natalia.

"Mrs. Mccarthy, long time no see."

No matter how reluctant Natalia was, she shook hands with Julia.

Though Julia didn’t have a good reputation, she was the elder in the entertainment industry anyway. Natalia showed her respect to Julia, ostensibly though.

Nathan had arrived earlier. Knowing that they all arrived, he ordered his assistant to take them to the studio at once.

The five of them entered the studio and saw cameras had all been set up.

On the vast stage, there were two groups of actors performing. It seemed to be an audition.

Nathan, with several other staff, was sitting in the auditorium watching their performance.

When they walked by, Jessica greeted gently, "Director Nathan, here we are."

Nathan then looked up and glanced at her, but his gaze fell on Natalia from behind at last.

He smiled, "Everyone is here now. Have a seat!"

Then, he pointed to the seats around him and told the deputy director next to him to give him several copies of the script.

He handed the copies to Hazel and Laura respectively and said, "Take a look at the script first. If you two have no problem, put on makeup later. Each of you need to try out one part, I’ll see how it’s going."

On hearing this, Hazel's face changed.

"Director Nathan, I thought this role was already mine? Why do I need an audition?"

Before she could finish her words, she was stopped by Julia's criticizing eyes.

Nathan’s face also sank.

"I did promised Jessica to give you a chance for audition, but I didn't say I would adopt you without an audition. Although Claire Ye is only supporting role, she is critical too. No one would get this role unless she is a great actress!"

Hazel’s face turned pale and she clenched her fingers angrily.

Jessica got surprised too.

Although Nathan didn’t make it clear that he would let Hazel play the role when she discussed with him, it was almost there.

After all, she was one of the major investors of this play this time. Nathan had been preparing this project, which was an arduous job, for several years. It was natural for him wanting to make sure everything being perfect.

Jessica turned her eyes and fell them on Natalia behind her.

She suddenly knew something.
