My Wife Is So Sweet novel Chapter 267

Chapter 267 That's Not Like Him

Natalia was bewildered.

What was going on?

Looking at her confused expression, Archie rubbed her head pamperingly and explained, "This is Wilson Kawn, second son of the Kawn family of Eqitin. You ought to call him Uncle with me."

Natalia's eyes widened with surprise.

The Kawn family of Eqitin?

Wasn't that... Selena's family?

She turned to look at Wilson, who simply smiled gently and nodded. Clearly Archie was telling the truth.

Natalia's head buzzed, sensing how tangled the world was.

Of course. That was why Mrs. Wright and the Miller family had been so respectful to him.

Wilson chuckled, "So when are you taking her home? I want to tag along."

Archie smiled faintly. "Grandma and Grandpa have seen her already. When we're done with business on this side, we'll go back after a while."

"Great, that's great!" Wilson nodded repeatedly, quite happy about it. "Seems like the old lady has a happy year ahead of her."

With that, he looked at Natalia again, feeling more and more satisfied with her.

"The McCarthy and Kawn families are longtime friends, kiddo. Archie calls me Uncle, so I can lord it over him, got it? If he bullies you from now on, tell me, and I'll beat him up for you!"

Natalie chuckled awkwardly and nodded. "All right. Thanks, Uncle."

"Oh!"

That "Uncle" sent a warm current into Wilson's chest. He produced a black and gold-tinted card and handed it to her.

"I'm a rough man and didn't have the time to prepare any gifts, so take this card. You might be able to use it."

Natalie gaped.

She didn't know what sort of card this was, but one look at it and she knew it had incredible value. It wasn't something a normal person could get their hands on.

She waved it off hurriedly. "No need for that, Uncle, I know you mean well..."

"Just take it!"

Archie, on the other hand, straight up took the card and stuffed it into Natalia's hands.

"You're in luck, Natalia. Uncle's feeling generous today. He used to be called an ironclad miser, you know. If you don't take it now, it'll be a waste."

Natalia had no words.

Wilson laughed out loud. "You little brat! Didn't weasel enough out of me when you were little? Now you're giving me a bad name out here, eh? Seems like I've looked after you for nothing!"

Archie smiled peaceably and didn't retort.

It was clear these two were really close.

Natalia loosened up and took the card.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Archie asked, "What are you doing in Julio?"

The moment the topic came up, Wilson's face darkened.

"Don't even bring it up. I said we've found that child's news over here, right? So I came over personally to check it out, but... hmph! They're trying to mess with the Kawns now, it seems!"

Hearing the cold in his voice, Archie frowned.

"How do you mean?"

Wilson paused, thought of something, then waved it off irritably.

She thought about it and realized.

"Archie, you..."

"Yes, I'm just that selfish. I don't want someone to come back and disturb our little world, and I don't want any trouble. So I don't really care whether we can find that child or not."

Natalia had to laugh.

"Why are you like this? They're raising such a fuss while you're here talking behind their back."

Archie leant over, smiling as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

He snuggled in close to her face, the tips of their noses touching.

"Yes, that's how I am. I don't care about anything other than you."

"Archie..."

Natalia hadn't let it go yet, but her lips were already being sealed by his in another entangling kiss. Only when it was over could she take a gasp of fresh air. She held her hands against his shoulders, panting, "But is that really okay?"

Archie laughed mildly. "You really want a woman to come fight to take your husband, Natalia?"

Natalia rolled her eyes at him.

"Maybe they won't even like you! Quit flattering yourself."

Archie chuckled.

Natalia continued, "Really, though. If you can help them out, do your best to help them out. Look at how frantic they are. If you really have a clue, you shouldn't stand by."

Archie let go of her, fixed up her hair and clothes – which he'd messed up himself – and sat down properly.

Seriously, he explained, "I understand everything you're saying, but don't worry. The Kawn family aren't as panicked and nervous as they're acting right now. Uncle Wilson is so anxious to find this child because old man Kawn is sick and about to die and remembered the things he's sorry for in life. Uncle doesn't want to let the old man pass with regret, which is why he wants the child found. But the rest of the Kawn family might not feel that way. A house can't stand without a pillar, after all. The internal affairs of the Kawn family are a complicated mess. In these few years, they've divided into different squabbling factions. If that child comes back, she might command some attention in the beginning because the old man's still here. Once the old man passes on, have you thought about how she would survive in the power struggle of the family?"
