Laura Davies was at the back. Isaac deliberately fell behind and walked side by side with her. He asked in a low voice, "Did you know him before?"
Laura Davies was expressionless. "I don't know him."
Isaac glanced at her and did not doubt that she was lying. After all, although she was now a first-tier flower in the circle, she should have no connection with people like Pierre Lafayette.
In the end, Laura Davies didn't stay in World Villa.
Because today was her birthday, her fans had carefully held a rescue event for her. She needed to show up.
Therefore, at eight o'clock in the evening, she asked her assistant to pick her up and leave.
The people of the Lafayette family were reasonable. Although no one in this family knew that it was her birthday today, they did not stop her when they saw that she was busy with work.
Natalia called her at 10 p. m.
When she received the call, she had just come down from the event. Although she didn't do anything, she just showed up and felt tired.
Natalia smiled and said, "Why do you feel more tired than anyone else on your birthday?"
Laura Davies smiled helplessly. "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I just forgot to give you a gift at noon today. I just asked Nancy Mayes to send it to your house. Remember to take a look."
Laura Davies nodded. "Okay, I see."
"Then pack up and rest early. Happy birthday."
"Thank you, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up, Natalia went back to his bedroom and got ready to rest.
She glanced at the calendar inadvertently and found that tomorrow was Saturday again.
He had said that he would be on a business trip for a week, and it was almost time for him to come back.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help bending her lips and lying down to rest.
But she didn't expect that she would feel something fluffy around her when she slept until midnight.
She couldn't help frowning and subconsciously thought it was Anne. She pushed it out and said in a daze, "Anne McCarthy, stop fooling around."
The ball of hair paused for a moment. Then, a strong force rolled up her soft waist and hugged her tightly.
She was shocked. When she lost consciousness, she suddenly remembered that Anne McCarthy was not by her side now. How could she appear at home in the middle of the night?
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on her back. She opened her eyes and saw a black shadow lying beside her in the darkness. It was holding her waist and its head was still gently on her belly.
"Ah-!"
She was so scared that she let out a scream and hit the man's head without hesitation.
The man let out a muffled groan. Then, her randomly slapping hand was caught.
A familiar and magnetic voice came. "What are you panicking about? It's me."
Natalia was stunned.
There was no light in the bedroom, so she couldn't see his face clearly. It was only when she woke up that she felt the familiar smell of the man.
She heaved a sigh of relief, feeling both angry and amused. She hit him hard on the shoulder.
"What are you doing? You scared me to death."
Archie McCarthy chuckled and held her in his arms.
"You welcome me so much when I come back? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have rushed back overnight."
Natalia took the phone next to him and checked the time. It was half past three in the morning.
How could this man come back so late at night?
She wanted to scold him, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them when they touched his cold breath.
In the end, she said helplessly, "Why did you come back so late? Didn't you say you would come back tomorrow morning?"
"I can't wait any longer. I want to see you earlier."
He hugged her, kissed her on the forehead, and touched her belly with his palm.
"Baby, are you obedient? Did you make trouble these days?"
At the mention of the baby, a gentle smile appeared on Natalia's face.
"No, I'm very obedient."
