Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 143

Looking at the little girl’s peaceful and soundly sleeping face, Natalia felt her heart softened.

She gently pulled out her arm and put Anne down. The little girl talked in her sleep. Subconsciously, she grabbed Natalia’s hand and called her gently, “Mommy...”

Natalia was slightly taken aback, feeling a pang in her heart.

She felt sorrier for Anne and liked her more. She decided to stay a bit longer, patting Anne on her back gently. Until Anne had slept soundly, she withdrew her hand, turned off the light, and left the room.

Outside the door, Ariana was standing at the door. When seeing Natalia come out, she put on a bright smile immediately.

“Anne has fallen asleep now. Please don’t worry. You should go to bed earlier as well.”

Ariana nodded. “Miss Dawson, it’s so nice of you.”

Natalia was stunned and then smiled.

She didn’t quite agree with the remark as she didn’t think of herself as a nice person.

However, she truly felt close to the kid by nature. Probably it was because Anne was so enthusiastic about her when they first met.

Without overthinking, Natalia said good night to Ariana and went back to her bedroom.

In the master bedroom on the second floor, Archie was sending his grandmother a message.

Archie: “What on earth are you doing?”

Ariana: “Shut up, you brat! If you dare to say a single word, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Archie: “Grandma, if you want to meet Natalia, you can come over and meet her directly. Why would you have to take Anne and tell such a lie? You even taught Anne to lie!”

Ariana: “What do you know? If I weren’t worried about your taste in women, would I need to come over to take a look at your wife? Humph! You don’t appreciate my kindness at all. Just like your father, neither of you has a conscience!”

Archie was speechless.

He wondered why suddenly his father became the target.

Archie: “You’ve seen her now. You should rest assured, right?”

Ariana sent him a smiley emoji.

“Of course. I’m completely relieved. Natalia is a good girl. You can’t bully her. Once I find that you don’t treat her well, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Archie: “You’d better think how you would explain to her in the future.”

After that, Archie didn’t reply to his grandmother’s message any longer.

On the other side, Ariana put away her phone. Recalling what Archie just said, she felt guilty for some reason.

Natalia was such a kind, considerate, and warm-hearted girl. Ariana wondered if Natalia would blame her.

The more she thought about it, the more unease Ariana felt.

Anne didn’t sleep quite deeply. In a daze, she woke up, only to find that her great-grandmother was standing there uneasily. Anne reached out to her.

“Great-grandma.”

“Anne, why are you awake?”

Anne looked around but failed to find Natalia. Pouting, she asked, “Where is Mommy?”

“Your mommy went to accompany your daddy now. Sleep tight. I’ll be with you.”

Anne blinked.

“Mommy is accompanying Daddy now. Are they going to give birth to my younger brother?”

“Exactly. Soon, you’ll have a younger brother.”

“Okay. For my brother’s sake, I won’t be looking for Mommy now.”

Anne felt relieved and fell asleep again. Ariana finally breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately she picked up her phone and sent Archie another message.

“Remember, you are not young now. You’d better have a child as early as possible. Anne is so lonely. She needs a company.”

Archie didn’t reply to her at all.

The next day.

In the early morning, Natalia received a call from the company. Something urgent happened to an artist, so she needed to deal with it as soon as possible.

Originally, Natalia had planned to help Anne and her great-grandmother go home, but now she had to delay it. She needed to deal with the matter of her company first.

When leaving the house, Ariana saw her off with a smile.

“No worries, Miss Dawson. Please go ahead with your work. You can help us after you’re free.”

Although Natalia felt weird hearing what the granny said, she didn’t overthink, just nodding.

Archie delayed his departure today intentionally or unintentionally. When Natalia was gone, his face finally went darkened. Looking at the elderly and the little girl in front of him, he asked seriously, “Go back to Eqitin yourselves, or I’ll ask someone to send you back. Choose!”

Looking at his cold face, Ariana curled her lips unhappily.

“I have just met my granddaughter-in-law and only stayed here for one night. How could I leave now?”

The little girl also echoed while nodding, “Exactly! I want to stay with Mommy!”

Seeing that, Archie sneered. “Okay. I’ll ask her to come back now and tell her the truth. As for the wording, you should know how to explain to her.”

As he spoke, he was about to pull out the cell phone. Seeing that, Ariana’s expression changed dramatically. She hurriedly stopped Archie.

“All right. All right. We’ll leave, OK? You brat!”

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

With an extremely sad look, she complained, “Since your childhood, I doted you so much and I brought you up. Now you are grown up, but you don’t even let me stay in your house for a few more days. What an ungrateful grandson! If I had known it earlier, I should have left you on the street.”

Archie looked at her, his face darkened.

However, he was not in the mood to argue with her. He turned around and said to Brian, “Send Mrs. McCarthy and Miss Anne to the airport.”

Brian nodded while answering. He drove the car over and opened the door for them with a smile.

“Mrs. McCarthy and Miss Anne, please—”

Ariana glared at Archie and humped loudly. Then she took Anne to sit in the car reluctantly.

Right after Natalia had arrived at the company, she received a call from Ariana.

She told Natalia that they had got in touch with their family, and they were on the way to the airport, ready to go home.

Natalia was a bit surprised. However, since Ariana had got in touch with their family, there should be no problem.

Still she asked them to take care of themselves. On the other end of the line, Anne said she would come to visit Natalia again next time. Then they hung up the phone.

In the airport, Ariana and Anne walked out of a convenience store, only to find two familiar figures not far away.

Anne had a good sight. She called happily, “Grandma Faye!” Then she trotted to the woman excitedly.

Upon hearing the call, Faye McCarthy looked back in surprise, only to find that a little girl dressed in pink rushed to and pounce at her.

Faye was startled. Subconsciously, she reached out to hold the girl. When seeing Anne’s face clearly, she gaped at her.

“Anne? Mom? Why are you here?”

Standing aside, Selena slightly smiled and politely greeted them, “Hi, Mrs. McCarthy.”

Ariana was also surprised to meet them here, nodding at them. She asked Faye, “Why are you here? Didn’t you tell me you would go to watch a fashion show overseas? Why are you in Julio?”

Faye stammered and couldn’t utter a word, looking quite guilty obviously.

Seeing that, Selena kept calm and said with a smile, “The fashion show’s schedule has been changed due to some accident. I heard the landscape in Julio is quite nice. Since we have time, I took auntie here for a trip.”
