Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 324

After Selena was gone, Mr. Kawn looked at Jessica smiling, “Jessica, Selena is a little too quiet. Don’t be upset with her. It’s just who she is.”

Jessica curved her lips and said, “Of course. We’re family.”

Wilhelm nodded and asked Greg to take him to the Garden.

Natalia was stunned.

“She’s pulling the same tricks again and no one’s seeing what she is up to. Acting so innocent and tame. Disgusting.”

Archie sneered, “Perhaps most people see things with their eyes, not with their hearts.”

Natalia raised her eyebrows.

She turned to Archie and laugh, “So, Mr. McCarthy, do you see things with your heart?”

Archie looked down and chuckled wickedly, “I only see you with my heart.”

He grabbed her hands and laid them on his chest.

“It’s beating for you right now. Can you hear it?”

Natalia’s face got red instantly. She hurriedly withdrew her hands and said, “Ewww!”

Then she walked inside the room in a rush.

Archie seldom got her shy like this. He guffawed and followed her inside.

Natalia figured that she must dig in and find out what truly happened.

And in order to find the truth, they needed to ask Wilson.

Wilson knew that Jessica was Natalia’s half-sister and they wouldn’t be able to fool Natalia, so there was no need to lie to her.

When they found Wilson, he just went out of the tearoom with Ein.

He was surprised to see them, and then he said, “Archie, Lia, I thought you were in the living room with other kids.”

Archie didn’t say anything.

Natalia smiled, “We were having a walk in the garden and came here by chance.”

She glanced at Ein. He nodded to her and said to Archie, “I heard that you have acquired several large enterprises in succession recently. Good for you.”

Archie replied coldly, “I thought the Bissel family are normally more interested in politics. I didn’t know you would care about our business so eagerly. Thank you for your attention.”

Hearing that, Ein laughed awkwardly, “Well, we’re family friends, right? Of course I would care about you. But don’t misunderstand me. I meant well. I just wanna say that you’ve done a great job.”

Archie curved his lips.

“Then, thank you.”

There had been several conflicts between the Bissel family and the Kawn family although they were still pretending that everything was normal.

They both knew each other’s intention.

Ein left after saying goodbye to Wilson.

Then, Wilson turned around and said to Archie and Natalia: “I assume you came to ask me something, didn’t you?”

Natalia nodded.

Wilson grinned, “I guess so. It’s better to clear things up anyway. Follow me.”

He led them into the tearoom.

Mr. Kawn had a passion for tea art, which explained why the tearoom was decorated in exquisite taste.

The colors were classy and perfectly balanced. Even the antique tea table was made of sandalwood. Before the tea was boiled, the refreshing scent of tea was already in the air.

They sat down at the table. Wilson began to make tea while saying, “I knew you would come, but you came much earlier than I expected. Please don’t embarrass me in front of so many people. I know a lot of them have already known and they are hoping that you two will come and ask for explanation.”

Natalia smiled, “If you have known we would come to you and still decided to bring Jessica to Eqitin, then you must be one hundred percent sure you could deceive everyone.”

Wilson frowned and glanced at her.

Archie was sitting next to her emotionlessly, twirling his wedding ring.

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed, “Never mind. I’ll tell you.”

He got up to serve them tea, then he sat back down and continued, “The truth is, Jessica is not Yvonne’s child.”

Natalia froze.

Although she’d knew it was impossible that Jessica was her daughter, she was still surprised to hear Wilson finally admit it.

Wilson said in a deep tone, “Except for my father, everyone in our family has known about this. We’ve reached a consensus that we should make him feel happy and content in his last days. It really doesn’t matter that Jessica is not Yvonne’s daughter as long as my father believes she is.”

He paused for a while and kept on talking, “And Jessica might be the last person who knows where that child is.”

Natalia was confused.

However, it seemed that Wilson didn’t want to give any further information.

Archie was not interested in the lost child. He was more curious about the behavior of the Kawn family.

“So, you chose Jessica to pretend to be the child. But have you ever considered about her reputation? Sooner or later, someone will tell Mr. Kawn about her scandals. How are you going to explain that to him?” said Archie.

“Like what she said, what’s past is past. There’s not much time left for him. I will keep the Kawns’ mouths shut. As for other people, my father will not believe their words anyway.” said Wilson.

Archie laughed derisively.

Natalia asked, “So the doctor said Mr. Kawn doesn’t have much time left?”

Wilson nodded.

“The cancer had spread to the liver. My father refused chemotherapy. He has only two months to live.”
