President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 397

Natalia blinked.

Could she say she was just buying it as a collector’s piece?

Archie said mildly, “No need for your concern, madam.”

Nadia floundered again.

The man was like a statue. Completely unmoving.

Natalia, though, was feeling a bit awkward.

She was about to say something when Nadia sighed and continued, “I’ll be honest, sir. This is a hairpin I’m preparing to give to my sister as a gift. She’s been sick for years. Jade is healing, and my sister’s seen a photo of the hairpin. She likes it a lot, which is why I’m asking for your kindness.”

Seeing her let her feelings out, Natalia felt a surge of sympathy.

It was just a hairpin, after all. If she bought it for herself, she’d just keep it around without much practical use.

If her sister was so sick and she liked it that much, she could have it!

Considering that, she tugged the man’s sleeve.

“Archie…”

Archie already knew what she meant by that and frowned slightly.

He looked at Nadia with a bit of a mocking glance.

“Since you’re saying that, madam, then as you please!”

Finally seeing him relent, Nadia’s face registered joy.

“Right, what’s your name? I must thank you for your kindness today if I get a chance later on.”

Archie didn’t answer.

Natalia frowned.

She tugged his sleeve again.

Honestly, they were in public. At least show the lady some respect.

With that money people looking on, it was embarrassing.

Archie’s handsome face was a bit dark as he replied, “Archie McCarthy.”

At those words, Nadia’s eyes lit up.

“You’re… Archie McCarthy? The current head of the McCarthy family, first of the four families?”

Archie’s frown deepened as he nodded.

“It is a pleasure to meet you. I and my father have always looked up to you. I didn’t think I’d meet you here.”

Her gaze fell on Natalia beside him. “Your wife is such a beauty. She’s a lucky woman.”

Archie agreed with that much. “Thank you for your praise, but you’re wrong. Having her with me makes me the lucky one.”

Nadia floundered a little, the smile on her face growing stiff.

“If that’s the case, I won’t disturb you. Thank you.”

She turned and went back to her own seat.

The hairpin finally ended up with Nadia.

Natalia noticed that the man beside her wore a bit of an ugly expression. Thinking that he was mad over what had just happened, she murmured, “Are you angry? I don’t see why! It’s just a hairpin.”

The man ignored her.

Natalia blinked.

He was really mad? With her?

The two had been together for so long. This outwardly cold and harsh man had always been soft and gentle with her. Other than the incident before, he’d never gotten angry with her for any other reason.

But over a hairpin? That didn’t make sense!

He wasn’t this petty!

Natalia was a bit confused and looked for held to Max sitting opposite her.

Max had a hand over his mouth and his body was convulsing with laughter for some reason.
