Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 322

The second they stepped in the room, they heard Ein’s loud voice.

The living room was crowded with people who came to congratulate them. Every member of the Kawn family was present.

In Eqitin, any sign of gossip would quickly spread away.

Natalia and Archie were a little late. The Bissel family and the Nixon family were already there when they arrived.

Looking depressed, Max seemed to be forced to stay there by his father.

And when he saw Natalia and Archie, his eyes suddenly brightened up.

“Guys! You’re here!”

Archie and Natalia went forward with their hands held tight.

The butler of the Kawn family was an old man named Greg. He was busy greeting people in the living room and didn’t realize that the young couple had come.

He came to greet them in surprise, “Welcome! I’m honored to have you here, Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy!”

Archie smiled and introduced him to Natalia, “This is Mr. Greg. He was like an uncle to me. The Kawn family and our family have been friends for many years. I used to come here very often when I was young.”

A woman chipped in, “Yeah, I remembered Mr. McCarthy and Miss Selena Kawn had an engagement when they were little. If things had gone well for them, they could have been a lovely couple…”

Before she even finished her speech, the whole room went weirdly quiet.

That woman was a middle-aged woman from a wealthy family.

When she noticed that everyone stopped chatting, she was stunned. She realized something and immediately covered her mouth.

Her husband besides her glared at her and hastily apologized.

“I’m so sorry for that, Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy, it’s just a slip of the tongue. She didn’t mean that.”

Natalia smiled, “It’s ok, Mr. Perry. Mrs. Perry was just telling the truth. Archie and I are already married. Of course I wouldn’t mind this kind of things.”

Mr. Perry was finally relieved and he began to flatter her politely.

Wilhelm Kawn was in his late eighties now. He hadn’t been feeling well because he had lots of injuries fighting at war when he was young.

Right now, he was sitting on the couch, looking at this young couple.

“Archie and his wife are here? Come!”

The couple quickly went forward.

Mr. Kawn looked much older than Archie’s grandparents though they were at the same age.

He had a good look of the two minors and smiled.

“You two look like a happy couple. Archie, I haven’t seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?”

Archie answered, “All is well, Mr. Kawn. Thank you for asking.”

Wilhelm patted on Archie’s shoulder and sighed, “Your grandparents came by a few days ago. Your grandpa and I had a fight and now he’s not talking to me these days. Tell him not to be so grumpy!”

Archie chuckled, “I promise I’ll tell him.”

When they were young, William and Wilhelm were best buddies.

Both of them were a little childish, which was why they were fighting even though they were in their eighties.

Wilson was sitting next to Wilhelm. He smiled and said, “Archie, why don’t you and Natalia stay here for dinner? Everyone is here tonight.”

Archie nodded, “We would love that.”

As they were chatting, a woman laughed in surprise from behind.

“Wow, everybody’s here! Archie! Natalia! Hi!”

Archie greeted her back, “Lovely to see you, Aunt Tracy.”

That was Wilson’s wife, Tracy Kawn.

Tracy was raised in a literary family. Her parents were both famous artists. People would assume that their daughter would be meek and quiet, but she turned out to be pretty outgoing and passionate.

Natalia didn’t know her well but she had definitely heard of her before.

Although she had a fiery temper, she was actually a very nice person. And she was also very close to Archie’s grandma.

She asked, “Why are you guys still standing there? Come and sit! Dinner will be ready very soon. Let’s have a lovely evening tonight!”

“Where’s Jessica? She hasn’t come down here.” asked Matthew.

Tracy smiled, “She had been greeting people all afternoon. She must be exhausted. I’ll let her know when dinner is ready.”

Matthew nodded.

After a few minutes, it was time for dinner.

Jessica finally appeared. Natalia hadn’t seen her for a long time. Jessica was wearing a white sweater and a cashmere skirt. Her brown hair was nicely curled. She looked cute and delicate, nothing like what she used to be several months ago.

With the maid’s help, she slowly went down the stairs and greeted everyone.

“Pardon me for being so late. I was sort of tired and I overslept. I’m sorry.”

People started to exchange pleasantries with her. Jessica was smiling the whole time and eventually she fixed her eyes on Natalia.

Natalia stared back at her calmly.

Jessica paused and then walked towards her elegantly.

“Fancy seeing you here, Lia.”

Natalia raised her eyebrows.

This was different from what she expected.

She thought Jessica wouldn’t dare to see her again. But she was wrong.

If Jessica looked so comfortable with it, then Natalia had nothing to fear.

She smiled back at her and said, “Long time no see, my dear sister. Looks like you’re doing fine these days.”

Jessica was grinning and looked quite genuine.

“Yeah. Not as good as I used to be, but good enough. I didn’t treat you well before. But what’s past is past. Hope you could move on and have a wonderful life.”

Natalia laughed, “Of course. It’s not what it used to be anymore. You used to be my father’s bastard and now you’ve become the lost child of the Kawn family who’s finally found. I surely wouldn’t hold on to the past.”

The living room was deadly silent.
