Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 272

Of course, they were disappointed.

But since Robert said she was Archie's wife, they couldn't say anything else.

The old lady sighed with regret.

“How come those nice girls are either not into Charlie or already married? If this keeps happening, I don’t know when he is going to get married and have kids!”

Robert comforted her and said, “Mom, don't worry too much. Charlie has just come back home. You shouldn't push him too hard.”

She knew he was right, but she just could not help herself.

She thought for a moment and sighed. She finally dropped this conversation.

That night, Natalia went back and told Archie about the old lady she met outside the stadium.

Archie was interested in this kind of things before. But seeing her high spirit, he also became a little interested.

“You know what?” Natalia says cheerfully, remembering her conversation with Victoria on the phone during the daytime, “Victoria is going to give birth to her baby!”

Archie raised an eyebrow.

What would he care about Victoria's baby?

Natalia did the math and said, “One month later, her baby will come! As the child’s godmother, I want to go to Mrs. McCarthy to stay with Victoria. Are you coming with me?”

Archie frowned and refused without even thinking about it, “I'm not going.”

Natalia replied immediately, “No, you have to go! If I am the godmother, then you are the godfather. You must come with me.”

“…”

He grinned and said, “I don't want to be a godfather. I only want to be an actual father.”

Natalia was stunned for a few seconds and realized what he meant.

She blushed with shame. She looked around to make sure no one was around and said to him, “Nonsense!”

“Nonsense? We are a couple. It’s more than natural for us to make babies.”

As he spoke, Archie took her in his arms.

Natalia’s got even redder.

Then, a maid came and said, “Sorry to bother you, but you have some visitors. Mrs. McCarthy would like you to come over.”

Natalia was startled and pushed Archie away.

She saw the maid look down as if she did not see what they had been doing. But her smile gave her away.

Natalia felt more ashamed.

Archie didn’t think it was such a big deal. He waved his hand and answered, “We’ll be there in a second.”

“Ok.”

When the maid left, Natalia sat up and complained, “It's all your fault. That was so embarrassing!”

He was calm as usual. He tidied up his clothes and laughed, “Why are you awkward in your own home?”

Natalia didn't want to continue the conversation, “Fine. Grandma wants to see us. Let's go.”

The McCarthy family was not a big family. Archie was the only grandchild of Mrs. McCarthy. In addition, Archie's parents passed away early. Their house seemed to be even more lonely.

The grandparents were old and the grandfather was not in good health. Archie wasn’t fond of socializing and he was often busy working, which was why he didn’t spend much time in the McCarthy Mansion. Therefore, his grandmother normally didn’t welcome visitors and he didn't know who were coming today.

Out of curiosity, Natalia followed Archie to the vestibule.

The vestibule was bustling. On the luxurious couch sat a middle-aged man and a gray-haired old lady, both with their backs to her.

The old lady's hands were held by Mrs. McCarthy. They were talking something, and Mrs. McCarthy's looked very touched.

Servants were standing by, waiting on her orders, which she did not usually like before. That showed how important those guests were.

Archie took Natalia’s hand and came forward.

“Grandma.”

“Archie and Natalia are here?”

Mrs. McCarthy looked up and smiled as she sat them down.

“Come, let me introduce you to Mrs. Stevenson, of whom I have told you so many times. And this is your Uncle Robert. Mr. Stevenson is now playing chess with your grandfather in the tea room.”

Then, she held Natalia and Archie and introduced them to Mrs. Stevenson.

“This is my grandson Archie and this is my granddaughter-in-law Natalia.”

Mrs. Stevenson and Natalia both stared at each other in shock.

“Madame, it’s you!”

“Little girl, it’s you!”

Everyone else was confused.

Did these two know each other before?

Natalia finally knew what was going on.

Archie also realized that Mrs. Stevenson was probably the same funny granny Natalia told him about the night before.

Only Old Mrs. McCarthy did not understand the situation. Seeing them all laughing, she asked hurriedly, “What's going on? Natalia, have you met Mrs. Stevenson before?”

Natalia nodded and told them the whole story.

Hearing this, Mrs. McCarthy burst into laughter.

The two old ladies were best friends when they were young. Decades ago, the Stevenson family was one of the top families in Ambario. But then Mr. Stevenson decided there was more potential in overseas markets and moved his family abroad. After that, fewer people knew about them.

However, it did not affect the relationship between the two ladies. In these years, though they did not have much time to get together, Mrs. McCarthy would hang out with Mrs. Stevenson whenever she went to Othua.

This was the first time the Stevenson family had returned to Ambario in 20 years.

It was said that they came back for the Stevenson family's youngest grandson.

Back then, Robert and his wife divorced. But the Stevenson family didn't know she was pregnant until the divorce was complete.

But she was gone. Although the Stevenson family were searching for her, she never agreed to meet.

After years of avoidance, the two sides gradually lost contact.

But about six months ago, Robert's ex-wife became seriously ill. On her deathbed, she told her child the truth and informed the Stevenson family.

This time, the Stevenson family went back to get familiar with the environment where the child lived and grew up. They also wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him.

Mrs. McCarthy was deeply moved.

“You're lucky,” she said, “At least the boy was found, and he’s willing to accept you. The Kawn family hasn't found their child yet. Yesterday I went to their house. They are in misery.”
