President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 697

Max waved Laura’s concern aside.

“Oh relax. See... Dad's with Mom. If there's something that even he can’t handle, then my getting worried won’t help anyway.”

Laura considered this and thought he had a point.

Thus, she didn’t insist.

At the same time, after finishing her work at the company, Natalia booked a flight ticket to Othua, preparing to go abroad.

Archie heard about it and asked why she was going to Othua.

To get his inquiry over with, Natalia told him she was there for work.

But in fact, it was because of the deal she made with Felix. Now the timing had arrived, she planned to go there and take action.

Archie didn’t know any of that.

Natalia didn’t want him to know anyway, for the relationship between the Bissel family and the McCarthy family was rather complicated.

She only made the deal with Felix in the name of herself, not as Mrs. McCarthy.

Yet, if Archie learned about this, it would be hard to convince others that this deal had nothing to do with the McCarthy family.

After all, she was Archie’s wife. That was a well-known fact.

She truly couldn’t tackle this issue in the name of Mrs. McCarthy. Instead, she made the deal as Seven.

Therefore, she didn’t tell Archie about this.

Archie didn’t ask more questions after Natalia said that. He just reminded her to stay safe and call him when she arrived.

He then let her go back to her business.

This time, Natalia would be away for about four days.

If everything went well as planned, she would be back on the fourth day’s afternoon.

Thus, she packed lightly for this short trip.

Soon, she was done packing. She then went to Oliver’s room to say goodbye to the little guy.

It was noon. Oliver was taking a nap.

The pinky two-year-old was sleeping soundly.

Natalia leaned over, gave him a peck on his pinky cheek, and said softly, “Mommy is going on a business trip. You should stay at home and do what Daddy and Nanny tell you. Be a good boy, okay?”

Perhaps due to the special mother-and-son connection, Oliver cocked his brow and smacked his little lips, as though he was responding to her words.

Seeing his reaction, Natalia smiled with gratification.

After kissing him goodbye, she went to Anne’s room to check on her.

Anne was a big girl now. She was getting beautiful every day.

The seven-year-old was a very attractive girl. With big eyes and thick eyebrows, she looked quite adorable.

At this time, she was also napping.

But unlike the two-year-old Oliver, this seven-year-old girl only pretended to go to sleep after lunch as the adults told her to, yet she was not really asleep.

She had been rolling on her bed reading her favorite comics about some princess, unwilling to fall asleep.

She had pulled the quilt over her head when Natalia walked in.

The maid taking care of Anne smiled at Natalia in resignation after she saw her come in.

Natalia waved at her, motioning for her to go out.

Then, she sat on the edge of her bed.

In a tender voice, she asked, “Anne, are you asleep?”

There was no reply from under the quilt. The middle part of the puffy pinky quilt was bulging. It seemed that Anne had also covered her head with it.

Natalia didn’t know what to do for a moment.

She jerked the corner of Anne’s quilt, but Anne pulled it back with her weak strength, as though she didn’t want to get out.
