My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 She Was Drunk

She held the glass and took one sip after another. Archie also poured himself a glass of wine. Holding her hand, he sat on the sofa.

It was getting more and more quiet at night on top of the mountain. In the transparent glass house, they snuggled up on the sofa while casually drinking some wine.

In the sky, there were twinkling stars; at the foot of the mountain, there were lights of the houses. Their hearts felt warm as they looked at the view.

Natalia thought that she could hold her liquor, so she drank the wine without any worries. But unexpectedly, she already felt quite dizzy before she could finish a glass of wine.

In a daze, she leaned on Archie's body and asked, "Archie, why am I feeling so dizzy already?"

Archie lowered his gaze and gave her a sidelong glance,

He had specially brought this premium royal wine here from the wine cellar in the Middleton family. It had great flavor, but it was also strong.

This was the reason why he would only allow her to drink a glass of it.

Even if she just took one glass of it, the girl had now had red cheeks and a drowsy and dazed look on her face. Looking at her, he instantly knew that she was already drunk.

He placed the glass of wine on the table beside him, "I will carry you to the bathroom to take a bath."

When he finished talking, he had already carried her up in his arms.

Natalia was in a daze. Although she was not completely sober, she still had a clear memory.

"Take a bath? Aren't we on top of the mountain?"

The man didn't reply to her. Soon, he brought her to the bathroom.

Although the bathroom was not considered to be big, it was not small. There was a huge bathtub in the middle of the room. Light from the glimmering water was reflected on the surrounding walls. The atmosphere in the room was dreamy.

After filling the bathtub with water, Archie placed her in the bathtub.

"Are you going to take a bath alone, or do you want me to help you?"

After she was soaked in warm water, Natalia shuddered and became more sober.

When she realized her situation, her face instantly reddened. She crossed her arms across her chest and kept on shaking her head.

"I... I will take a bath alone."

Archie smiled. He didn't insist on his ideas, but turned around and exited the room.

Time passed slowly.

She didn't come out of the room even though Archie had waited outside for a long time.

He took a sip of wine and looked at the time.

Forty minutes had already passed.

Although a temporary water heating system was set up on the top of mountain, the weather was quite chilly. Since it was for temporary use only, hot water could not be delivered to the top of the mountain continuously.

It had been forty minutes, and the water should have been cold.

He couldn't help but frown slightly. Although there was an indoor air heating system, it was still cold at night due to big temperature difference between day and night. Considering the cold temperature, he got up, walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked on the door.

"Natalia, have you finished taking a bath?"

Unexpectedly, nobody responded to his question.

The man frowned even deeply. He tried to pull the door open, but he noticed that it was locked from the inside.

This young woman! Wasn't she too vigilant?

Archie found the whole situation quite hilarious. There were only the two of them at this place. If he wanted to force himself on her, could a mere lock stop him?

He shook his head helplessly. He could only return and find a key to unlock the door.

"Natalia! Have you finished your bath? I am coming in!"

There was still no response to his question.

He then realized that something was amiss and hurriedly opened the door.

The mist had already dispersed in the bathroom. He saw the girl sitting in the bathtub with her eyes closed. She leaned on the bathtub motionless and seemed to be in deep sleep.

He was instantly at a loss for words. He quickly walked towards her and dipped his hand in the water to test the water temperature.

Just as he expected, the water was already cold.

He instantly had an unhappy expression on his face.

When he turned around, there was a steamy scene in front of his eyes.
