Chapter 278 Worry About Him
Chapter 278 Worry About Him
It wasn't over until late at night.
Natalia was so exhausted by the time he took her out of the bathroom that she didn't even have the
strength to open her eyes.
She didn't want to move as he carried her to bed, blow-dried her hair, and tucked her under the covers.
Archie turned off the light and lay down.
He stretched out his arms to hug her. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Natalia, however, turned over, with her back to him. She didn't want to talk to him at all.
Archie smiled, didn't force her, and let her lean on his arms.
"I'll go on a business trip tomorrow, and I may come back in half a month. When I come back, I will take
you to Othua. Before that, you just stayed with your bestie, okay?"
When she heard Othua, Natalia cheered up.
She opened her eyes and wanted to ask something, but she held her tongue, irritated at the fact that
he had not stopped when she pleaded for mercy in the bathroom.
Archie ran his hand along her hair, wrapped her soft black hair around his fingers, and whispered, "I will
be on a trip for long. It takes me at least half a month. You should take good care of yourself at home."
I let Nancy take good care of you and Mrs. Dottie would come back. You can let them help you. When
you encountered any trouble, you can ask Peter or Stephen, or my grandma for help."
Natalia could not help but turn around to look at him, with a worried face.
"Why do you have to stay outside for so long?"
Archie said nothing.
Natalia pursed her lips and suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against his
chest.
"I am just worried about you. You bear the burden given by the McCarthy family. You must be very
tired, right?"
Archie chuckled.
"Worried about me?"
"Yes." Natalia nodded.
"Give me a kiss."
"No!"
Natalia patted him on the shoulder. Though she knew Archie's been working hard all the time, but
Natalia could not help feeling worried.
Everyone saw Archie living a decent life. Only the people close to him knew how much pressure he
undertook.
She tightened her arms, put her face against his chest, and said nothing.
The night was long and the room was quiet.
Perhaps because she was so tired, Natalia slept very soundly.
When she woke up the next day, it was nearly noon.
She looked at the alarm clock, let out a scream, and immediately got out of bed.
Then she felt a sharp pain in her body as if she had been run over by several big trucks.
Natalia lay down, covered her face with a pillow, and howled.
She shouldn't have been worried about him.
He was about to be on a business trip, but he could still be so energetic with her for the night. So, he
sure could take good care of himself.
She sighed and, after a few seconds, sat up with great efforts.
She endured the pains in her body and went to the bathroom to wash herself up.
Though she was sore, her body was clean. Archie must have taken her to the bathroom and washed
her body.
Natalia brushed her teeth and washed her face. She changed into a blouse and a pair of pencil
trousers and went out of the door with the bag.
Iris told Natalia something about Maxwell yesterday.
Later Natalia talked about Maxwell with Archie. Archie knew that woman's husband, who was a tycoon
in the financial circle. He never heard the relationship between them was bad, so he didn't expect it
would happen.
Natalia did not want Archie to get involved. If she did, it meant that Archie would have to do something
personally to protect Maxwell.
They would let go of Maxwell for sake of Archie. However, Archie would owe them a favor.
Natalia would not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, she decided to talk with Maxwell and get to
know him thoroughly before making a decision.
When she got to the company, Natalia let Iris call Maxwell over.
When Maxwell arrived at the office and saw Natalia, he was a little embarrassed.
After all, Natalia bumped into her and even heard the dialogue. Maxwell felt very ill at ease.
Natalia did not mention what happened last night, but Maxwell was so guilty that he couldn't look into
Natalia's eyes.
After that, Natalia found Maxwell, who looked smart and smooth, was very foolish.
He was together with that investor because he drank too much at a party, was seduced by that woman,
and slept with her. That woman got something on him, so he could only be her fancy man.
Natalia was speechless.
She never thought it would be the truth.
News of his affair was not true. The woman just took advantage of him.
Before he met Selena, he had only been with that woman.
That woman's wiles made him think that she really liked him and would divorce her husband for him.
He didn't wake up to reality until he accidentally learned that woman also slept with another actor.
Later, he met Selena and they fell in love…
Natalia was lost for words.
She had no idea whether she should blame it for the way of the world or the man's stupidity.
She sighed and waved her hand, gesturing to Iris to take him out.
She had made it clear. The point was to handle it properly.
It was easy to handle.
She could deal with all those problems arising from that scandal for Maxwell.
Or, she could give up doing that after concluding that he couldn't be as popular as before.
Natalia let Archie make a decision.
Archie sent a message.
“Give him up.”
It was not beyond her expectation.
After all, Archie despised all things done by Maxwell.
