Natalia frowned. She subconsciously resisted his strong way of conversation and the posture of the two now.
"But you are also always busy! Besides, I've only been busy for a while, not all the time."
"No way."
In some ways, this man was too domineering.
He said in a deep voice, "Because I'm a man, whose duty is to take on the responsibility of supporting a family, but you are different. You just need to be a qualified Mrs. McCarthy. If you are interested in something, or you're free, you can develop your own hobbies or career, but remember, you should be a wife first."
Natalia was not convinced by what he had said.
"You mean your work is very important, and my work is dispensable! Archie McCarthy, don't be so male chauvinist!"
"I've told you that I'm not a canary in the cage. You can't require me with your standard."
"Yes, maybe my work is nothing in your eyes, but it is very important to me. I don't want to be an accessory to anyone, and I will never give up my career!"
The woman became more and more excited, and in the end, she almost said that angrily.
After saying that, she pursed her lips and turned her head away with a sullen face.
Archie's eyes darkened.
"When did I ask you to give up your career?"
"Didn't you just say that? I should be a wife first! If I am free, then I can develop my career."
She stressed the four words "if I am free" as if to remind him how unreasonable his words were just now and how much it had hurt her pride.
Archie looked at the angry woman in his arms, who was now like a startled cattie. He even suddenly smiled.
Natalia was in a fit of anger. As she saw his smile, she got even angrier. Was he even laughing at her?
She struggled hard in his arms.
"Let me go! I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'll go back and sleep!"
Then she tried to break away from his hand.
However, the man's palm was like an iron clamp pressing on her, and she could not move no matter how hard she tried.
Natalia almost cried because of great anger.
She was not only angry but also aggrieved. Finally, she helplessly threw her hand down and turned her head away.
"Archie! You bully me!"
Finally, Archie couldn't help laughing.
"Little girl, what a bad temper you have. I didn't say anything scolding, so why are you so aggrieved? Huh?"
He let go of her waist and pinched her chin with one hand, forcing her to turn around.
Natalia struggled several times, but failed. On the contrary, her chin was pinched so hard by the man that she was forced to turn around to face him.
The little woman's face was full of anger. Her clear eyes were red at the moment, and there were even layers of misty moisture in her eyes, as if she was holding back her tears. As long as he said even one more word, she would cry out immediately.
Archie was stunned.
Looking at her red eyes, he seemed to go through history again. Many years ago, that stubborn girl in the rainy night, walked forward step by step in the mud, and refused to look back no matter how hard he shouted.
His heart was touched by that scene as he looked at her red eyes.
He pursed his lips, let go of her chin, and wiped her tears with his hand.
"These couple of days, you are so busy and even don't come back home. I didn't blame you. I just tried to persuade you. Why are you crying? Does it make you so aggrieved?"
His tone softened with a hint of helplessness.
Natalia didn't want to cry at first.
