President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 26 I Promise You

"That medicine is laced with some herb, which has the effect of temporarily paralyzing the vocal cords,

but it usually doesn't last long, and she should be able to talk before too long."

Archie nodded, and only then he let Brian send her out.

After the other people had all left, he walked over to the bed and looked at the woman lying on it.

At the moment, Natalia was much quieter, lying obediently under the blanket, not moving at all, as if

she was asleep.

Only the small face, still flushed with scarlet, unintentionally revealed her pain and stoicism.

Archie looked at her for a while, didn't say anything, and turned around and walked away.

A few seconds later, the sound of clattering water came from the bathroom.

Natalia opened her eyes in a daze and felt a large, tall shadow looming towards her.

"Go soak in cold water for a while, huh?"

She looked at him and nodded.

Archie picked her up horizontally and walked towards the bathroom.

The wide bathtub was already well filled with water, and Archie put her in. The cold water stimulated Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

her body to shiver and she couldn't help but hold her arms tight.

"Can you sit still by yourself?"

Natalia nodded, wanting to say yes, but the man only let go before her body went limp and her body

plunged into the water.

A soft sigh of helplessness rang out overhead.

The next second, her body was scooped up, and she coughed twice in pain and spat out a mouthful of

water.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, a towel came up and in a not-so-gentle motion, He wiped the

water off her face.

A sound of water.

Archie sat in.

He sat right behind her, letting her lean against him, with his arms wrapping around her.

Natalia's spine instantly stiffened, only to feel as if her back was leaning against a wall of volcanic rock,

which was hot.

Strong hormone filled her nostrils, and the fever that had just been pushed down in her body stirred

again.

She couldn't help but struggle up and try to refuse, but an unpleasant cold voice came from behind her,

"Don't move!"

Archie darkened his face. He was not in good mood being rejected by her. If not afraid that she slipped

into the water and drowned herself, he would not sit in.

Natalia wasn't the only one who suffered from such a position.

Natalia seemed to have thought of this, her face changed. After making sure he wouldn't do anything,

she sat meekly still.

There was silence all around, and the two people were quietly soaking in the water. Because of each

other's body heat, the originally cold water didn't seem so cold anymore.

She was so weak that she could barely even sit down if it weren't for Archie holding her in the back.

At the thought of who drugged her, she felt ridiculous.

Originally, she thought that the Dawson family, no matter how hateful they were, were just eccentric

and wanted her to give up voluntarily so that they could fulfill Shawn and Jessica's good deed.

She originally did not intend to have any further involvement with Shawn, so it did not matter if he was

with Jessica.

But to her surprise, they were even more cold-hearted than she thought.

To be able to get the two together logically without being criticized for gossip, they actually falsely

accused her of having an affair with Alfred!

In addition, they drugged her and tried to send her to that scum's bed!

That was her father and her grandmother!

If she hadn't grown up in the Dawson family, if she hadn't gotten along with this family fairly well for the

first eighteen years, she really would have wondered if she was the Dawson family's own child or not!

Raging anger mixed with untold sorrow surged through her chest.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

It was finally less hot in her body and her sanity seemed to be clearing up.

She opened her eyes and felt as if her throat was no longer as tight as it was before, so she tried to

speak, "Archie, I am fine."

It was as thin as a fly, but she could finally make a sound.

She couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Archie didn't say anything, but got up and then picked her up from the bathtub.

Her body was covered in water, and her drenched gown clung to her body, outlining her delicate, sexy

curves.

Natalia blushed and pushed away his hand that was trying to wipe her water, snatching the towel away

and saying sharply.

"I'll just do it myself."

Archie looked at her and didn't say anything. Seeing her head lowered in a shy and embarrassed

manner, he suddenly laughed.

"Ok, now that you are fine, shouldn't you repay me?

Like wipe water for me."

Natalia was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.

Archie stayed in the water with her, and naturally all of his body was soaked through.

The white shirt clung to the man's chest, and it was easy to see the powerhouse pecs inside, beautiful

and sexy, yet not exaggerated in the slightest. The lines were perfect.

Her face burned, and she stammered and waved her hand.

"Well, I, I ......"

The man's pressure was so strong that she tensed and her tongue was in a knot.

A girl who was usually quite eloquent could not say a word at this time.

Archie smiled and suddenly held her hand.

Natalia took a frightened step back and pressed her body against the wall.

The next second, she felt an extremely strong oppressive feeling approaching, the man's handsome

and perfect face zoomed into her eyes. The corners of his mouth were clearly hooked with an evil

smile, but there was not a trace of laughter under his eyes.

He braced one hand against the wall and let go of her with the other, turning to cupping her chin and

lifting it gently.

"I told you before that I would give you three days to think about it, and now that three days are up, isn't

it time for you to keep your promise?"

Natalia froze for a moment.

She looked into his dark and clam eyes, which was like a piece of ice that would not melt for a

thousand years. It was a great contrast to his gentle and refined appearance.

She looked at him like something was slamming inside her, so fierce it was about to jump out of her

throat.

Actually, when she thought about it, the man's offer didn't do her any harm.

It was not clear why he married her, but it was a fact that she needed a husband and a marriage.

The reason why she attended Jessica's birthday party was because Clara threatened her with her

mother's relics.

If those things had been held in Clara's hands, she would never be able to escape her control.

And now, if she got married, and husband was Archie, whom the Dawson family couldn't afford to mess

with, everything would change.

Moreover, although Archie was an unfathomable person, at least from what she had observed so far,

he had no malice towards her.

She had already been hurt once and didn't feel she could fall in love with another man again in this life

as carefree as she had before.

So, what difference did it make who she married?

Her nervousness eased a little at the thought.

When she looked at Archie again, her gaze was complex.

"Archie, are you sure you want to marry me?"

The man raised his eyebrows, "You don't think I've shown enough good faith?"

Natalia pursed her lips, struggled in heart and then nodded heavily.

“I agree marry you.”
