Chapter 394 Touching the Heart

He wasn't home?

Natalia looked at the time. It was half past five. He couldn't be going to the office again when it was this late.

Where had he gone?

To be honest, after telling him something that important, Natalia had been feeling uneasy. Waking up to replace that the man wasn't here, she actually felt a bit down.

But she was a logical person. He was probably just busy with something, and could have left for the emergency.

Thinking of that, she shook her head and chuckled.

Since Mrs. Dottie and all the servants were on break, dinner was up to her.

Natalia headed to the kitchen and got ready to make something.

At that moment, the kitchen door opened.

A man with an apron around his waist, a pan in his hands was standing there, holding a plate of roasted tomatoes and eggs.

"You're awake? Go wash your hands, it's time for dinner."

Natalia was a little taken aback. "You haven't left?"

Archie cocked an eyebrow at her. "Left? Left where?"

Natalia stood there, gazing at him in his homely shirt and apron. He looked like a househusband. Her eyes moistened.

She threw herself at him and hugged his narrow waist.

Burying her face into his chest, she mumbled, "I thought you were mad."

The insecurity and sensitivity she'd never admitted to when she was alone bared themselves in their entirety.

The man's lips lifted slightly, feeling the woman's new sense of reliance and love. A smile entered his eyes as he murmured, "Didn't you want to replace out how Mr. K died? Go eat. I'll take a holiday for a few days to help you investigate."

"Really?" Natalia lifted her face, overjoyed.

"Yeah."

Archie really wanted to pick her up and kiss her, but he had a pan in one hand and a plate in the other, so he couldn't.

"Would I get in the way of your work?" Natalia knew that he was busy.

"No. It's been slow recently."

"Oh, okay!"

"All right, go wash your hands. I'll get the soup, and then we can eat."

"Sure."

Natalia washed her hands and saw three dishes already on the table. Roasted tomatoes with egg, grilled fish, and a salsa salad. All her favorites. Archie was still readying the soup in the kitchen. Natalia walked over curiously, asking, "I thought you'd never cooked before? You made all this yourself?" Archie nodded, then pointed at the recipe book set to the side.

"Found it on the bookshelf this afternoon and picked a few things up. Give it a taste?"

Natalia went out, took up her fork, and tried the tomato.

Sure it wasn't a match for elite chefs, but for someone cooking for the first time, this was perfect.

Natalia had to exclaim, "It's delicious."

She tried the fish.

She was even happier with it.

Then she tried the salad.

Errrrrrr...

"Archie, quit business and go into cooking! You have a talent right here. This flavor is amazing."

The man came out with the soup, smiling, "It's really that good?"

"Really, try it!"

"Okay."

Natalia speared a piece of vegetable and was passing it to him when the man ignored her hand entirely and bent over, eating the piece out of her mouth directly. She floundered, but the man had already bit it off and started chewing. He beamed. "Hmm, it really is delicious."

Natalia blushed.

She faked a glare at him, but couldn't keep it up over half a second.

A slight smile curved on her lips, a honeyed feeling building in her chest.

Seeing that, Archie knew that she'd opened herself to him entirely, and his heart softened even more.

He took her into his arms and got a good, long taste of her lips.

It was a gentle kiss, with immeasurable love and longing, passing over her lips, nose, brow, eyes, forehead, and finally on the soft back of her hand.

"I love you, Natalia."

Natalia's heart shook.

Men were supposed to be creatures who failed at communicating and never spoke verbally of love. The love that they expressed wasn't true.

But why was she incredibly moved right now?

All because he was the one saying it?

No, it wasn't that.

It was because he had more depth and discipline than any other man she'd seen, but only when he was facing her did he lose control of his emotions, doing or saying things that he normally wouldn't. Those three simple words, stripped of all elegant disguise and all additional decoration, were the three words that most touched the heart.

Natalia smiled, but her eyes were moist as she hugged his waist and said sincerely, "Me too."

They didn't know how they finished the meal.

The two doted on each other and the simple dinner took over two hours to finish.

After the meal, Natalia was adamant that she did the dishes instead of Archie.

After all, it couldn't just be one side always making the effort. Even if he was willing and able, she still felt like she should do something to make it fair.

The man didn't stop her, but his gaze on her grew more loving than ever.

At that moment, Natalia's phone wrong.

She was too busy to take it, so she called, "Can you pick it up for me?"

Archie walked over to the lobby and took up her phone. Looking at the caller, it was Max.

He raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Seeing it was Max, Natalia had Archie take the call and put it on speaker.

"Did you need me for something?"

"Oh, it's you, Natalia. I'm looking for Archie, is he there?"

Huh?

Natalia blinked, then looked up at Archie.

"Why call me if you're looking for him?"

"Heh, his phone isn't connecting."

Hearing that, Archie looked at his own phone. It had shut down from low power some time ago. He put the phone to the side and charged it, finally taking the call.

"What is it?"

Max told him.

As it turned out, the Violet Group's auction that was held every four years was being thrown tomorrow night at the International Summit. Max was asking Archie if he was coming this year.

The Violet Group auction was different from other auctions. Everything for sale was at the level of a national treasure, and everything went to the nation in the end. As for the earnings of the auction, a portion went to the Red Cross.

It was nominally an auction, but it might as well have been a charity sale.

And this Violet Group was said to be quite mysterious.

Natalia had heard the name by chance before, and she knew that it was one of the three great families of the world. The family's authority extended across the whole world, with several centuries of history. And it was said that this family had a lot to do with Ambario. As for what it was, she wasn't sure.

The auction that the Violet Group was holding this time was to be attended by big names on the national level, and obviously, it wasn't a scene that regular people could attend.
