Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 339 No Need for Threats

Natalia pursed her lips, thought about it, and agreed.

“Fine. Come on in.”

Selena parked her own car behind and got in the shotgun seat of Natalia’s car.

Natalia found it a bit awkward that it was the second time she was bumping into Selena and Maxwell’s

affairs.

And doing it twice consecutively – forget Selena, even she herself couldn’t believe that it was a

coincidence.

“What did you want to talk about, Miss Kawn?”

Even though she knew, Natalia still asked.

Selena didn’t look at her, keeping her cold gaze in front. “Did you hear our conversation?”

“Ahem!”

Natalia coughed embarrassedly and hastily explained, “Not deliberately, really. I was coming down to

get my car, and didn’t think you two would be here too.”

Selena looked at her, a bit of mockery in her eyes.

“So you did hear it all, then?”

“…”

She had to scowl at that attitude. “Fine, I’ll admit that I heard it, but don’t worry. It’s got nothing to do

with me, so I won’t tell.”

Selena frowned subtly, then said coldly, “That had better be the case.”

Natalia was a little exasperated.

Selena continued, “Really, I don’t have anything to do with him. He’s just chasing after me incessantly.

You’re a woman too, Natalia, so you should understand how I feel. I don’t even like him, and I don’t

want this child. So the public can’t know about us.”

Natalia’s lips twitched.

“If you don’t like him, then why’d you come together?”

Selena floundered.

Her face changed slightly but she didn’t explain.

She took a deep breath and looked at Selena seriously. “I’ll owe you for it if you keep this secret.

Anything you need afterwards, just tell me. On the other hand, though… you know what I mean.”

Natalia chuckled.

“You don’t need to threaten me. After all, you can’t threaten me.”

Selena didn’t reply.

Natalia put a hand casually on the car window, looking at her with a half-smile.

“I’m keeping your secret because you have nothing to do with me. I’m not such a gossipmonger that I’ll

go around blurting your love life to anyone who listens. That’s all. Anything else and, forgive me, Miss

Kawn, but you’re just overthinking it.”

Selena’s expression darkened right then and there.

She didn’t like how carefree Natalia was being, or the way her lofty tones seemed to squash her

beneath her feet.

She was supposed to be the lady of the Kawn family, while this woman was just a peasant who’d

climbed her way to where she was using Archie McCarthy as a foothold. How dare she talk to her in

such tones?

But Selena’s years of training in manners weren’t for nothing.

She nodded calmly.

“All right. Since you’ve said that much, I can relax. No matter what, I do owe you one, and I’ll pay you

back one day.”

Natalia smiled and didn’t say anything about her words.

With everything made clear, Selena didn’t linger in the car and got out after opening the door.

“Goodbye, Mrs. McCarthy.”

Natalia waved her off.

When Selena had left, she started her car and continued driving.

It was nine at night by the time she got back.

Anne had almost fallen asleep waiting for her. Hearing the footsteps, she rushed out of her room.

“Mommy! You’re finally back.”

Natalia looked at the girl, who was so sleepy her eyes were drooping. Heart aching, she jogged over

and picked her up.

“I’m sorry. Mommy was late. Are you tired, Anne?”

Anne yawned and hurriedly shook her head. “I’m not sleepy. I was waiting for Mommy all this time.”

Natalia kissed her face and carried her back to her room, laying her down on the bed.

“Great. Mommy’s going to watch the show with you now. Let’s go to bed after one episode, okay?”

Anne agreed obediently. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

One episode of the cartoon didn’t last long, and it ended soon enough.

Natalia tucked her in and came out. She couldn’t find Archie, so she asked Mrs. Dottie as she came

back from the garden, “Where’s Archie, Mrs. Dottie? Has he still not answered?”

Mrs. Dottie looked a bit troubled and sighed. “Sir came back at seven, then seemed to have taken a

phone call and rushed out.”

Natalia started.

“What’s happened?”

Mrs. Dottie shook her head.

“I don’t know the details. Seems like the old master of the Kawn family can’t hold on anymore. Our old

man gave sir a call and had him go over to take a look.”

Natalia’s heart jolted.

Wilhelm Kawn wasn’t in the best of health, but he hadn’t gotten worse in this time.

Why had he suddenly taken a turn for the worse?

The four families had a delicate relationship right now, but the two old men of the Kawn and McCarthy

families were friends of several decades.

Conflicting interests between their families were one thing, but their personal relationship was another.

If Wilhelm really wasn’t doing well, it was reasonable for William to take Archie over to visit.

Natalia thought about it and said, “I’ve got it. If there’s nothing else, get back early and rest.”

Mrs. Dottie nodded and left.

Natalia went back to her room, washed, and not long later, Archie returned.

It was early in the year and still cold up north in Eqitin. The night air seemed permeated with thin frost.

Natalia heard the engine of the car and knew the man was back. She got out and went downstairs,

feeling him bring the cold in with him even from a distance as she shivered.

Archie paused and went back in, closing the door. Looking at the thin pajamas she had on, he frowned.

“Why are you dressed so lightly?”

Natalia rubbed her arms as she took his coat. “How much am I supposed to wear at home, anyway?

How did it go? Is old man Kawn all right?”

Speaking of that, Archie’s face fell slightly.

“They got him back, but it looks like he won’t last much longer.”

Natalia stared for a moment. With the Kawn family’s status, the doctors they had access to were the

peak medical teams in the entire world. If even they were saying it was done, it really was done.

She didn’t know Wilhelm too well and didn’t have too many ties to the Kawn family, but she still felt a

twinge of regret at the news.

She didn’t stay down for long, though. Recovering, she said, “There’s hot soup in the kitchen. Mrs.

Dottie kept it warm just for you. I’ll go get you some.”

Archie nodded.
