Archie McCarthy didn't deny it. He just smiled happily and nodded seriously.
"Well, I only bully you."
As he spoke, he played with her fingers. The sun shone in from outside the window, which was extremely warm and relaxing.
Natalia felt uncomfortable because of him. She pushed him away with a charming smile. "Don't do that. It tickles."
"Honey... Are you feeling better?"
Natalia frowned. "What's better?"
He suddenly took her hand.
"You..."
Natalia blushed and was about to stand up, but Archie McCarthy stopped him.
The man buried his face in her neck and sniffed her fragrant hair. Time was quiet and warm.
"Don't go. Stay with me for a while."
He said softly, his tone gentle, and the surroundings were warm and quiet.
Natalia's back stiffened, but she still didn't move. She hugged his shoulder with some distress.
Since she was pregnant, he had been protecting her all the time. They had seldom made love together.
In the past, as long as they slept together, they would do it every night, and most of the time, it was more than once.
Now that he had been grounded for almost a year, it was really difficult for him.
After an unknown time, the temperature on the man's body gradually subsided.
He raised his head and pinched her chin with his slender fingers, making her turn to look at him.
"What were you thinking just now? You looked unhappy."
Natalia scratched her hair and said in a muffled voice, "Nothing."
"Are you still lying to me?"
His eyes squinted. Natalia had finally spoken the truth under his gaze.
"Pierre Lafayette came over in the morning and told me something about the Lafayette family."
Archie confounded in a moment.
Then he pursed her lips and asked. "What did he say?"
Natalia told Archie everything Pierre had told her.
"Actually, I am quite hesitant. On the one hand, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Lafayette family. To be honest, it's too complicated there. It goes against my heart. I just want to live a simple life."
"And I always feel that I have no feelings for them. If I really do something for them, I will be full of grievances. And I don't think they will be happy."
Archie chuckled.
"Have you ever thought about how much power and wealth it represents to take over the Violet Group?"
Natalia was stunned.
She looked at him in a daze, blinking her clear eyes.
"I've never thought about that. Besides, power and wealth are not what I want. I only want you!"
She suddenly laughed, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower. In the afternoon sunshine, she was like a flashing elf, holding his neck.
"Be with you and our child, doing what I like to do and performing what I like to do. That is enough. I really don't want too much. Having too much means having too many responsibilities and paying too much. I don't want to live like that. I just hope that I can have the simplest and most warm happiness in my life."
Archie was slightly shocked.
He suddenly hold her and kissed her on the lips.
This kiss, with all complicated feelings, surging love, and a trace of indescribable joy, was like a wild beast breaking through the cage and imprisonment, sweeping her away.
Natalia screamed vaguely.
"Archie! You..."
The long and affectionate kiss melted in the warm afternoon sunshine.
