Chapter 176 Mr. McCarthy, A Spoiled Child?
The old Mrs. McCarthy came to take Anne away when they had to go out.
When she noticed Anne was reluctant to leave, Natalia also didn’t want her to go.
Unexpectedly, Anne suddenly grabbed the corner of Natalia’s clothes, blinked her bright eyes and said,
"Mommy, I heard from great-grandma that you and daddy will have a little brother for me soon. Is that
true?"
Natalia was surprised.
The old Mrs. McCarthy stiffened when she heard this.
Even Archie, who was standing next to them, stopped what he was doing and looked at Anne in
astonishment.
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment!
Anne was a little confused. After a few seconds, she realized that she had spilled the beans!
She screamed and covered her mouth with her chubby little hands.
She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Natalia pitifully.
“Ooo... Mommy, Anne didn’t do it intentionally!”
“Anne didn't mean to lie to you. Anne just wanted to stay with you!”
“Great-grandma said that as long as you have a little brother, you won't leave daddy and will be with
Anne forever!”
“Ooo... Anne was wrong!”
Natalia turned to look at Archie.
It was a very complicated expression on the man's handsome face, and the corners of his mouth
twitched slightly. He just wanted to disappear to escape from such an embarrassing situation.
On the other side, the old Mrs. McCarthy finally came to her senses and smiled awkwardly.
"What... What should I say?"
The old Mrs. McCarthy was too embarrassed to explain. She had gone through so many ups and
downs, but she still didn’t know how to deal with such a situation.
Natalia suddenly burst into laughter.
"No wonder Anne and I met so often! I liked this little girl at the first sight. She kept calling me Mommy.
It turns out that we are really a family. My sense is quite accurate."
Everyone was stunned.
Natalia didn't mention that they deliberately concealed their identity, nor did she say anything else to
blame them, nor did she get angry.
Instead, she said this in a casual tone, trying to defuse the embarrassment.
She, she was so...
She was so considerate!
The old Mrs. McCarthy was so moved. Tears appeared in her eyes. She stepped forward and held
Natalia's hand, sobbing, "Natalia, I'm sorry. I..."
"I understand." Natalia smiled and patted the old lady’s hand gently to comfort her.
"Parents always cared so much about their kids. You just wanted to see what kind of woman your
grandson has married. It's just your love for your grandson. Although the method is not good, your
intention is always good. I can understand it."
The old Mrs. McCarthy was so moved that she couldn't help crying.
"I know that you are always the most considerate."
Natalia smiled and said nothing.
She looked at Anne and squatted down.
Anne covered her face with her hands. She thought she had done something wrong, so she looked
remorseful.
Natalia was amused. She reached out and removed Anne’s chubby little hand from Anne’s face. Then
she smiled and said, "Don't hide such a cute face. It will be ugly if there is a fingerprint on it!"
Anne looked at her carefully and asked, "Mommy, aren't you angry?"
Natalia shook her head. "No."
"But Anne lied. Anne is bad!"
"Good girl, I’m not angry, as long as Anne won't do that again."
"Really? Do you mean you can forgive me as long as I don’t do it again?"
"Yes, really."
Natalia nodded seriously. Anne was thrilled, put her hand down and threw herself into Natalia’s arms.
"Ooo... Mommy, Anne misses you so much. Anne finally has a mommy."
Holding Anne’s soft body in her arms, Natalia felt her heart melting.
And the discomfort seemed to have disappeared a lot.
She smiled, patted Anne’s back gently and said lovingly, "Well, Anne will have a mommy in the future.
Mommy will love you."
Anne was overjoyed.
But the time could not be delayed any longer. Archie looked at his watch and said, "We're going to the
airport. You can stay here for two more days and go back early."
After a pause, he added, "I'll take Natalia back to Eqitin to see you later."
Of course, Anne didn't want to part with Natalia, but she was very obedient. When they arrived at the
airport, she said goodbye to her mommy reluctantly.
Before leaving, Natalia kissed Anne's forehead and gave her a small jade pendant that she had
brought with her since she was a child. It was an amulet. She heard that Anne was not in good health,
so she hoped that this jade pendant could bring Anne some good luck.
After saying goodbye, they boarded the plane.
It would still take 2.5 hours to fly back. As soon as they got on the plane, Natalia sat in her seat and
closed her eyes. It seemed that she didn't want to talk to Archie.
There was no longer a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was angry.
Archie looked at her uneasily, feeling remorseful, but he also knew that it was his fault.
The old Mrs. McCarthy came here with Anne to see Natalia. He should have stopped them. He
shouldn't have let them do that. Now Natalia finally got angry with him.
The plane took off. The cabin was quiet, and no one was making any noise. Even if there were some
conversations, the passengers’ voices were very low, and it was almost inaudible under the sound of
airflow.
Archie didn't know whether she was asleep. He felt wronged in such a situation, but he didn't dare to
say or ask anything.
At last, he took off his coat and put it on her in case she might catch a cold.
However, as soon as he put the clothes on her body, the woman waved her hand and threw it away.
Oh, it seemed that she was awake.
Archie became more nervous and asked in a low voice, "Are you angry?"
Natalia snorted and didn't answer him.
Archie had to explain with the grievance, "I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid that I would embarrass
Grandma if I did so. Besides, I thought it would be better if she could explain it to you later. I didn't
expect that Anne would say it out by herself today. Natalia, I didn't mean it."
Natalia finally opened her eyes and looked at him with a sneer.
"So, is this the reason why you hide it from me?"
Archie immediately turned serious and said in a low voice, "No."
"Then what are you explaining here?"
"I..."
He didn't know what to say.
As the president of such a big group, he had never begged anyone in his life, so he didn't know what to
say when he wanted to beg.
At last, he was annoyed and said solemnly, "Sorry, it’s my mistake!"
Natalia smiled coldly. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"I know. I shouldn't have helped grandma hide it from you. I really knew my mistake!"
"Huh!"
"Natalia, forgive me!"
Natalia turned her face away and ignored him.
Archie took a look at her, stretched out his fingers, carefully pinched the corner of her clothes and
gently shook it.
"Honey!"
Hiss!
Archie was now like a demon acting like spoiled child!
Natalia almost got goosebumps. She turned around, glared at him and gritted her teeth. "Get your
hands away!"
