President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 372

“So, you want me to wear this every day to my meetings and talk business with people?”

Natalia’s smile froze.

She cleared her throat awkwardly. “Er, actually you can wear it at home too. It’s a gift, so what matters is the intent, ha ha…”

“The intent?”

The man cocked an eyebrow, thought about it, and reached out.

“Okay. Then on account of your intent, let’s see how it looks.”

Natalia nodded, swallowed, and took his hand.

Archie had a diamond watch on his wrist. She took it off, then undid the string and put it on.

And then there was an awkward scene.

The string was too short to close around his wrist.

Natalia blushed straight from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.

She’d actually stitched the bauble with Nancy when she was bored on set.

Only to kill time.

And the beads were only there because Nancy said it was for good luck, so she’d went “whatever” and bought them.

So the bauble was for her size. Archie was a man, and his wrist was naturally a different size, so it didn’t fit.

Archie looked at how her motions were frozen and looked at her with a half-smile. “So this is the present you prepared for me?”

Natalia was about to cry.

At a time like this, she knew she couldn’t muddle things over.

So she cut her losses and pleaded guilty.

“I was wrong, honey. I promise, I’ll give you a perfect anniversary gift tomorrow, so let’s not talk about this today, okay?”

Archie stared at her, a hint of mirth showing in his eyes.

“No need to wait until tomorrow. You can give me a great gift today, too.”

Natalia started, then reflexively asked, “What gift is that?”

There came a grip on her wrist and the next second, her body had fallen forward into the man’s arms.

Archie embraced her and set her in his lip, lowering his head and murmuring, “You.”

“…”

Tonight was going to be a wild night.

“Natalia, let’s try for another child, okay?”

Natalia was already too tired to notice the “another” in his line as she mumbled consent.

The man was overjoyed, and after that, there came a storm of pleasure.

The night gave way to dawn.

The next day, Natalia, unsurprisingly, couldn’t get up at all.

By the time she woke, it was the afternoon.

Natalia looked at the bright sunlight outside, exclaimed, and sat up sharply.

The moment she moved, she found that she was sore all over, especially where a certain place felt like it was ripping apart.

She sucked in a pained breath and fell back down.

At that moment, Archie walked in holding a meal tray.

“You’re awake.”

Natalia looked at him and demanded, “What time is it?”

Archie set the tray down and looked at his wristwatch. “It’s two p.m. What about it?”

“Two?”

Natalia’s eyes widened and her face changed.
