Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 722

"It’s good for everyone if they can be persuaded. In that case, you won’t be worried that she’ll run away after you take her home. It’s a win-win."

The young man kept nodding.

"Right, right, you’re right, Sammy."

He gave an obsequious smile and said fawningly, "Then that’s a deal. I’m gonna go now. When I have enough money, I’ll come over again."

Sammy waved his hand and the young man left.

After that, Natalia saw Sammy didn’t come back into the house until he smoked all the tobacco in his pipe.

She stepped back quietly and flashed into the house from the back door.

Natalia went back to the small room on the second floor with mixed feelings.

Nancy, who wasn’t asleep yet, was waiting for her in bed.

She asked at the sight of Natalia, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?"

Natalia nodded, "I’m better now."

She closed the door as she spoke, pressing her ear against the door and listening carefully. When she made sure no one was out there, she turned around and walked to the bed.

Nancy saw her behaving oddly and didn’t know what was on her mind. She simply widened her eyes and watched her.

Natalia sat on the bed and lowered her voice. "I saw two people talking outside the house on my way just now."

Nancy asked in surprise, "Who would talk so late at night outside the house?"

Natalia replied, "One of them we know. It’s Sammy."

"What about the other one?"

"I don’t know the other one. He should be a local here. Guess what I heard?"

As Natalia asked, Nancy made a guess.

"Is it about us?"

"Yes." Natalia nodded in earnest. "We were right. It’s a human trafficking village. Sammy, who saved you, is a human trafficker. As I heard, he told the other man he’s going to sell us. But the most ridiculous part is, we’re only worth 30 grand each."

Nancy widened her eyes in astonishment.

As if she just saw a unicorn.

In fact, if Natalia hadn’t heard what Sammy said with her own ears, she wouldn’t have believed that such a ridiculous thing should be happening in this time and age.

Nancy got nervous immediately.

"Then what should we do?"

Natalia, however, remained calm, "Don’t worry. I also heard that since your leg is broken, you won’t be “put on the market” until you recover, and it’ll take you about one month, which means, we’re safe for this month."

Nancy let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

Natalia lay down and stared at the wooden ceiling, saying, "One month is enough for your leg to heal. Even if it’s not fully recovered, you’ll be able to walk at least. And I’ll try to get familiar with the terrain of this place during this month."

"Fortunately, those killers haven’t found us yet, which means we’re safe for now. It’s not so bad."

Nancy was still worried as she heard Natalia.

"But… didn’t you promise Anne that you’ll celebrate her birthday with her? Her birthday is this weekend, which is four days later. How can you wait for a month?"

Natalia went silent as Nancy asked her.

Indeed, she had promised her daughter.

She had kept all her promises over the years.

Natalia didn’t want to go back on her word, but now, it wasn’t the matter of her keeping her promise or not.
