President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 273 The War

Mrs. Stevenson frowned.

“Didn't they give up the search years ago? Why are they looking for the child again?”

Mrs. McCarthy shrugged her shoulders.

“Don't mention it. I don't think there is much time left for Kawn. Maybe he didn't want to die with

regrets.”

Mrs. Stevenson frowned at the speech.

The subject was so sad that everyone was speechless for a moment.

Finally, it was Natalia who broke the ice.

“I think everything should be ready now. Grandma, I'm going to check in the kitchen.”

Mrs. McCarthy nodded.

At lunchtime, the Kawn family heard that the Stevensons were back and came to meet them.

Mr. Kawn was unable to come due to medical reasons. So, Wilson brought a couple of juniors to say

hello, and Selena was the only girl among them.

Even Faye, who rarely returned to the McCarthy Mansion, was back.

As soon as she entered the room, she began to chat loudly with Selena and Mrs. Stevenson.

Old Mrs. McCarthy gave birth to two children in her lifetime, and her son died young.

She was supposed to be nicer to her only daughter, but she didn't like the way she behaved. So, they

weren't very close.

Everyone stayed for lunch together.

There were many dishes and all kinds of cuisines on the table. Faye together with the old lady helped

the guests take their seats.

When choosing a seat, Faye pulled Selena into the seat next to Archie.

“Archie, it's been so long since you've been back to Eqitin. We all miss you. Including Selena. You've

been quite busy lately. You two are old friends, but it's been a while since the last time you two sat

down and talked to each other. Do you mind if I give you a chance to talk today?”

She looked at Natalia defiantly.

Everyone else at the table was awkward.

Natalia was about to talk when Old Mrs. McCarthy said angrily, “Faye, what are you doing? If you want

Selena to sit there, where's Natalia supposed to sit?”

Faye smirked.

“Natalia can sit next to me. I haven't talked to her in a while.”

“Nonsense!”

The old lady was going to lose her temper. The Kawn family and the McCarthy family had been friends

for a long time. There was no need to hurt the friendship over such a small thing on such an occasion.

Considering that there were other members of the Kawn family present, Natalia smiled and said,

“Grandma, it's ok. I heard that Archie and Miss Kawn went to high school together. It's nice for them to

have a chance to catch up. I'll just sit here.”

She quickly sat down on Archie's left.

Old Mrs. McCarthy finally calmed down.

And Old Mrs. Kawn was embarrassed, but she just smiled shyly.

“Mrs. McCarthy, I have really spoiled the kid.”

Old Mrs. McCarthy knew better than to say anything more and just smiled politely.

“It’s ok. They are classmates.”

The matter was put behind and the lunch began.

During the lunch, Selena was a little shy, but she kept talking to Archie.

Archie had been a little cold, but Selena was too persistent.

If he didn’t respond to the topic she brought up, she'd say another.

Faye and Mrs. Kawn family also helped her continue their conversation.

Everyone could tell what was going on, not to mention Archie.

Mrs. McCarthy frowned. But her husband didn't notice anything. He had never paid much attention to

their love affairs. He just felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere among the young

today, but he didn't think too much of it.

Mrs. Stevenson, on the other hand, was somewhat indignant.

What was this McCarthy boy thinking?

He was already married to such a beautiful girl and he was still hitting on another woman.

And what’s wrong with the Kawn family?

That girl went to their house to have lunch and was still acting so intimate with the hostess’s husband.

Did she have no manners at all?

She blamed herself for finding her grandson too late.

If she had done that earlier, her grandson might have a chance with Natalia and Natalia wouldn’t have

to suffer.

Mrs. Stevenson comforted Natalia and said, “Natalia, this fish is really good. Try some!”

Natalia was flattered, “You’re being too kind. Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Your grandma and I have been friends for decades. I already regard this place as my

home. I hope you wouldn’t mind that.”

“Of course not!”

After their conversation, Natalia turned around and saw Selena saying something to Archie. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

They seemed to be very intimate. Her whole body was leaning on him.

The loose neck of her sweater exposed her soft skin. People who didn’t know the truth would think they

were a cute couple.

Noticing that Natalia was looking, Selena smiled at her, “Natalia, I heard you like sea squirts. You

should have some more.”

She put one on Natalia’s plate.

Natalia raised her eyebrow.

She didn't know where Selena heard she liked sea squirts, but she was actually allergic to seafood and

had never eaten them before.

She was about to refuse when a woman sitting opposite her said with a smile, “Try some. I heard you

grew up in Julio? It's not far from the sea, but technically it's still an inner city. It's not really easy to get

good sea squirts there.”

“Yes, Selena brought them for you. If you like these, Selena can get you some every once in a while.”

Natalia suddenly didn’t want to refuse.

She grinned.

“That’s great,” she put aside the sea squirt and said, “Thank you, Miss Kawn. I’ll try it when it cooled

down.”

Selena didn’t say anything more and turned back to Archie.

But she did most of the talking and Archie would occasionally say yes.

“By the way, my brother will be back today, you know?”

This time, Archie finally responded. He looked up at her and said, “I know.”

“He must have contacted you, didn't he? You two are close. I'm sure he'll tell you when he gets back,”

Selena thought for a while and said, “He and Stephen are going to Hitz-Hardon tonight. Before I came

here, he called and asked me to come over later. Shall we go together?”
