Natalia looked at him dully.
She blurted out the words as she was angry, but she didn't expect that he would take it so seriously.
Feeling the pain from her chin, Natalia let out a light groan and said unhappily, "What are you doing? It hurts."
"Answer my question."
The man's tone of voice was overbearing and cold lights flashed across his eyes.
Natalia was a bit scared by his stare.
She knitted her brows, "What do you want me to answer?"
"Who am I?"
Natalia was speechless.
Was he mentally handicapped? Why didn't he know who he was?
Pitifully, she could only complain this in her heart. She couldn't say it out.
Natalia curled her lips into an ingratiating smile and replied honestly, "You're Archie McCarthy."
"Hmm?"
Natalia was speechless again.
Was it wrong?
She then replied tentatively, "Mr. McCarthy?"
Archie was taken aback hearing what she said.
"Heh, come on, you won't be asking me to call you Mr. Chairman, right??"
Seeing the quick change in the man's tensed expression, Natalia knew that she had given a wrong answer again.
"Heh, I will give you the last chance. Give me a satisfactory answer, okay?"
Natalia bit her lower lip.
"Don't bite your lip!"
When she bit her red lip with her white teeth, she just looked so pitifully beautiful, which stimulated his impulse to plunder her.
Hence, the man quickly pinched her chin to stop her.
Feeling the sharp pain, Natalia groaned with dissatisfaction.
Right at this moment, she suddenly had a light-bulb moment.
Seeming to figure out something, she looked at him in disbelief.
She then stammered an answer tentatively, "You're my... my honey."
Archie sneered.
"Remember this then. Although your words were unintentional, I don't want to hear those words again!"
The man's gaze was a bit cold and he said in a deep and warning voice, "Understand?"
Although Natalia was a bit dumbfounded, she still knew better than to say anything more and just nodded her head.
Only then did Archie loosen the grip on her chin and walk to the other side of the bed. When he prepared to get onto the bed, he saw his phone that was placed on the bedside table.
He knitted his brows and shifted his gaze onto Natalia.
Natalia came to her own sense and hurriedly explained it, "You got a call just now. I've told you, but you didn't answer me. I answered the call only accidentally."
Speaking of this, Natalia became a bit guilt-stricken.
Archie didn't say anything. He picked up his phone and took a glance.
"What did she say to you?"
Natalia smiled awkwardly.
"Nothing. Er... She's your daughter, right?"
Archie turned around and shot a glance at her.
After two seconds of silence, he corrected her words, "She's our daughter."
Natalia really don't know what to say.
Luckily, she wasn't drinking water now; otherwise, she would definitely spurt out the water in her mouth.
However, after a second thought, since she and Archie were already officially married, of course his daughter was also her daughter.
Now she suddenly had a daughter. Initially, Natalia was dumbfounded, but now she suddenly became cheered up.
"That's true. If that's the case, seems like it's not a bad thing."
Natalia didn't hate the idea of having a child at all. Moreover, upon hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, she inexplicably had a cordial feeling although she had never met that child before.
Natalia felt it fantastic. At a second though, she was a bit amused.
