President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 723

Finally, Natalia stopped laughing and said, "Do you really think we can run away as long as we beat the old couple downstairs?"

Nancy blinked her eyes. Apparently, she believed so.

Natalia shook her head.

"No, you’re wrong. Even if we beat them and tie them up in the house so that they can’t run after us, we can’t get away."

"Why not?"

Natalia thought for a moment and decided to explain the situation to Nancy with her own experience. She told her how Flora told a group of children to watch her when she was in the last village.

"Do you get it? It’s true we’re at Sammy’s house now, but in fact, the whole village, even all the neighboring villages are united."

"Let’s say we run away. The next moment, Sammy calls out for help, and the whole village, even people from neighboring villages will help them go after us."

"Even if you’re able to punch them dead, are you able to beat a dozen or a hundred villagers? Even if you are, we’re not familiar with the terrain around here, and what if we go the wrong way? We may die of thirst or hunger, right?"

Nancy thought for a moment and agreed with Natalia.

She breathed a sigh.

"But I still think one month is too long, and anything could happen during this month. I’m worried."

Natalia was aware that Nancy’s fear was justified.

Admittedly, she had heard Sammy tell that young man that they needed to wait for a month.

But no one knew whether they really would do that.

Now the two of them were in a passive position, and anything could happen to them. If possible, they wished they could get away from this place as soon as they could.

With this in mind, Natalia changed her mind.

She said, "Let’s go with the flow and wait for the right opportunity. Anyway, we can’t act rashly. We have to play to the score."

Nancy nodded.

The two of them made up their mind and changed the topic.

At noon, Natalia and Nancy helped Nico cook. Sammy was out for business and didn’t have lunch at home.

Finally, the two got a chance to stay with Nico alone and thought of the interrupted conversation yesterday.

When the three of them were chatting yesterday, Sammy suddenly broke in.

Natalia was the first one noticing him, and she changed the subject at once.

Oddly though, Nico didn’t act surprised or confused at all at that moment.

Thus, Natalia drew the conclusion that Nico must know something.

Finally, they got an opportunity today and Natalia asked, "Mrs. Macchi, about what we were talking about yesterday, you told us the girls here can’t braid bracelets. I suppose, you’re not from here, are you?"

Nico turned pale.

She looked away in a panic.

It seemed that she didn’t want to answer this question, so she beat around the bush.

"Well, the water is boiling. I need to go prepare lunch."

She walked away as she spoke.

Natalia and Nancy exchanged meaningful glances.

However, the two wouldn’t give up and asked again when Nico finished washing the vegetables, "Mrs. Macchi, you’re not from here, are you?"

Nico dropped her head and her lips compressed into a thin line.

Natalia smiled and explained, "Don’t worry. We’re just asking. It’s just that the breakfast you made before didn’t seem to be local cuisine, so I assume you might not be a local here. Where are you originally from?"

Nico took a deep breath.

She replied after a long pause, "Don’t ask me questions anymore. I won’t tell you anything."
