President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 405

The partner could be the child of a high-ranking official from a country or a relative of a major global conglomerate.

In short, they were all from prestigious families.

And in order to ensure the marriage would be successful, when the two people were born, they would be fed with a kind of poisonous bugs.

The history of this kind of bugs could be trace back to the royal family of the last dynasty from the Lafayette family.

The male and female insects would live and die together. The female insects were to be planted on the female; the male insects were planted on the male.

When the two people had sex on their wedding day, the bugs would interact with each other and they wouldn’t be poisonous anymore.

On the contrary, if the two people didn’t intercourse, the poison would be diffused in their bodies until they died in pain.

The Lafayette family was descended from the royal family. Perhaps in order to ensure the prosperity of the family or else, they made such inhuman rules, turning all the family children from generation to generation into pawns for marriage.

When Natalia heard this, she felt a chill down her spine.

This was incredibly creepy.

If she had not heard it with her own ears, she would not have believed such a ridiculous thing would happen in the world!

What kind of sick person would come up with such an inhumane idea?

Wilson chuckled, “That's why your grandfather didn't allow your mother to be with him. Unfortunately, these two were in love and didn't care about that. When your mother knew that he didn't mean to lie to her, she didn’t want to dump him and planned to elope with him instead.”

“Fortunately, your grandfather found her afterwards, but your mother had been very unhappy ever since. These two were too stubborn and there's nothing anyone can do about them.”

Natalia's heart was moved.

Little did she know that this was the truth.

“And then what?” she asked softly.

“Then?” Wilson frowned and said, “Nothing happened. They never saw each other again. One day a month later, the people we sent told us that Jade had died in a war in South Africa and he had gone there voluntarily.”

“He couldn't be with your mother, and he didn't want to accept the family's arrangement to marry that woman, so he ran off to the war alone, and soon word came that he had died there.”

“When your mother heard the news, she fell ill immediately. I found sleeping pills in her room and I knew she wanted to commit suicide. Later, the doctor found out that she was pregnant. She pulled herself together for this child.”

He looked at Natalia and said quietly, “Lia, your mother's greatest regret was losing you, but she didn't live long enough to get you back, and now you know where you came from. You can go to her grave and bring her some flowers if you are willing to. It will comfort her.”

Natalia clenched her fingers and then forced a smile.

“Yes, I will do that.”

Then she felt like there was nothing more to say for her.

Natalia got up to leave. Wilson escorted her out of the cafe and they went their separate ways.

Nancy had dropped her off today and the car was in the parking lot not far away.

Natalia headed to the parking lot, thinking about what happened today.

She was halfway there when she heard a familiar sound.

She looked up for a moment and saw a familiar figure tugging with a middle-aged man in a fisherman's hat around the corner.

Nancy couldn’t help calling, “Laura?”
