Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 107

“Mummy?”

“Yes.”

“Really? Did you really help me find my mummy?”

Archie chuckled, “Do you want to see her?”

“Sure! I want to see her!”

“Then let’s end here. I will send you her photo. But you shall go to bed after seeing her photo, OK?”

“Okay.”

Archie then hung up his phone. He found out a photo of Natalia which was taken by him by accident and sent it to Anne.

At the other end of the phone, when receiving the photo, Anne immediately became excited.

Was this her mummy?

‘Oh gosh, mummy is so beautiful! Her skin is so fair! Her eyes are so beautiful! Her nose is so high! And her mouth has a good shape!’

‘Mummy looked exactly the same as me!’

‘Oh… Grandma, this is my mommy! I’m her daughter! I feel so happy!’ Anne exclaimed in her heart.

Clenching the phone, Anne ran to the living room to find her grandma.

Unexpectedly, when she just ran out of her bedroom, she was stopped by a maid who was responsible for taking care of her.

“Miss, it’s already ten o’clock. Didn’t you promise me that you will be a good girl and go to bed? How can you run wildly?”

Anne took a glance at her and paused.

She rolled her black-pearl-like beautiful eyes and pressed her pink small lips together. After a short while, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the bedroom.

‘No way! Mummy is so beautiful and I can’t let others know her!’

‘Otherwise, they will snatch my mummy from me.’

‘Mummy belongs to me only and no one is allowed to snatch her from me!’

‘Humph!’ Anne thought to herself.

Watching Anne running back to her bedroom, the maid thought that she must have realized her mistake and therefore she would go to bed obediently. She didn’t think too much of this.

The maid followed Anne into the bedroom. Watching her sliding into the bed, she walked over, tucked the quilt for her and then coaxed her softly, “Miss, have a good dream. I will only go out when you’ve fallen asleep.”

As expected, Anne closed her eyes obediently and she soon fell asleep.

Generally speaking, kids would fall asleep quickly, so was Anne.

The maid didn’t dare to take away the phone clenched by Anne just now as she was afraid that she would make a fuss. But now, seeing that she was still clenching the phone and since that she was sleeping, the maid gently took the children’s mobile phone away from her hand.

In sleeping, the kid called vaguely, “Mummy…”

The maid was stunned. She leaned forwards and put her ear near Anne’s mouth. Only then did she hear clearly what Anne was calling.

Her gaze towards the kid became complicated as a gush of bitterness surged in her heart.

She didn’t know how she should think about this kid’s fate. Was she lucky? Or was she pitiful?

She was lucky because she was a child of the McCarthy family, a top-class powerful and rich family. She wouldn’t need to worry about clothing and food in her whole life as she could enjoy the endless wealth.

She was pitiful because she didn’t have a mother.

After all, those who had stayed in the McCarthy family for more than five years all knew that this kid was taken back from abroad by Archie back then. At that time, Archie only brought back this little girl and her mother was not by her side.

At that time, she was still a newly-born baby. Maybe it was because she had left her mother since young, Anne had been quite week since childhood.

She had been at her last grasp due to illness for several times. The McCarthy family hired several doctors for her, requiring them to live in the family. Even the renowned doctor, Ian Rankin, also had lived in the family for a period to stabilize Anne’s health condition.

Afterwards, she was pampered by the whole family as they were afraid that she would get any slight hurt. As she gradually grew up with the meticulous care of the family, her health condition was gradually improved.

When thinking of this, the maid took a glance at the little kid lying in the quilt.

She heaved a long sigh.

Alas! Her mother was so cold-hearted that she even abandoned such a cute kid!

The maid didn’t stay in the room any longer and she left the room cautiously without making any noise.

Meanwhile, Natalia had a dream that night.

She dreamed of a scene in which she was lying on a snow-white bed surrounded by cold steel-grey equipment. Some cold metal instruments were moving in her body.

The man’s low, deep voice sounded near her ear.

“Give birth the child for me. I will give you everything you want.”

“No! Please! No!”

Natalia woke up.

It was already broad daylight outside and it was about seven in the morning. There came some water splashing sounds from the bathroom. It seemed like someone was taking a shower.

Lying on the bed, Natalia closed her eyes to get rid of the horrifying dream.

After a long while, when she heard that the door of the bathroom was pulled opened, she finally opened her eyes.

“Awake?”

Archie was drying his wet hair with a towel. Natalia knew that he had a habit of having morning exercise and she thought that he must have just finished the exercise.

Natalia replied with a light “emm”, seeming to be a bit upset.

Archie raised his brows. He causally tossed the towel onto the back of the chair and walked over.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?”

When speaking, he reached out and touched her forehead.

“I’m fine.” Natalia yawned, “It’s just that I had a strange dream.”

“What’s that dream?”

“Hmm…” Natalia pondered for a while with her brows knitted.

“Maybe it’s because you were too tired yesterday. Would you like to have some more rest?”

Natalia shook her head.

“No thanks. I have to go to the company to deal with something today.”

Archie didn’t insist on it, “Then get up and go downstairs to have breakfast.”

“Okay.”

As the New Year was drawing close, she got more and more things to be dealt with in the company.

Annie International didn’t have too many affairs to take care of as its artists had all behaved well and didn’t cause too many troubles. So the public relationship department didn’t have too many tasks.

However, it was another story for the Star Entertainment. Laura had come to the crew and was now shooting ‘The Youth’. Jessica had also lost her role as her scandal was disclosed. After weighing the gains and losses, the director Nathan finally decided to let Victoria play the leading character of ‘Alanna Nelson’.

Naturally, this increased Jessica’s hatred again.

Pitifully, she had no choice. Although several days had past and the gossips about the scandal in her school had been suppressed, it had somehow damaged her reputation.

She lost the opportunity to film ‘The Youth’. What was worst, many brands also cancelled her qualification to be the ambassador of their products.

Julia had asked her to remain low-key for a month, saying that at least she should keep a low profile until the New Year. After the New Year, there would be a charity party. At that time, since her scandal would be a past, she would try to restore her reputation by doing charities.

Although Jessica was resentful, she had no choice and could only listen to Julia’s arrangement.

Some of the artists of the Star Entertainment left the company after Natalia’s notice. The four artists left were all singers. They were good at both singing and dancing and hoped to be idols.

Natalia wasn’t in a hurry to launch their debut; instead, she hired some professional teachers to improve their singing and dancing.

She hoped that they would display their skills in the idol reality show after the New Year.

Time passed under such a busy and boisterous ambience.

When it was only four days before the New Year, the company finally announced the beginning of the holiday.

Natalia had announced the arrangement of the holiday in the Star Entertainment in advance, while in the Annie International the arrangement was made on the next day. Before the holiday, Natalia’s colleagues suggested to go out to have a gathering and relax themselves, saying that it could be regarded as a team building activity.

Natalia agreed and generously said that she would pay the bill. Naturally, the colleagues in her department were cheered up when they heard this.

At eight o’clock in the evening, after finishing the dinner, they came to a KTV.
