Chapter 697 The Most Wonderful Trammel

Max waved Laura's concern aside.

"Oh relax. See... Dad's with Mom. If there's something that even he can't handle, then my getting worried won't help anyway."

Laura considered this and thought he had a point.

Thus, she didn't insist.

At the same time, after finishing her work at the company, Natalia booked a flight ticket to Othua, preparing to go abroad.

Archie heard about it and asked why she was going to Othua.

To get his inquiry over with, Natalia told him she was there for work.

But in fact, it was because of the deal she made with Felix. Now the timing had arrived, she planned to go there and take action.

Archie didn't know any of that.

Natalia didn't want him to know anyway, for the relationship between the Bissel family and the McCarthy family was rather complicated. She only made the deal with Felix in the name of herself, not as Mrs. McCarthy.

Yet, if Archie learned about this, it would be hard to convince others that this deal had nothing to do with the McCarthy family.

After all, she was Archie's wife. That was a well-known fact.

She truly couldn't tackle this issue in the name of Mrs. McCarthy. Instead, she made the deal as Seven.

Therefore, she didn't tell Archie about this.

Archie didn't ask more questions after Natalia said that. He just reminded her to stay safe and call him when she arrived.

He then let her go back to her business.

This time, Natalia would be away for about four days.

If everything went well as planned, she would be back on the fourth day's afternoon.

Thus, she packed lightly for this short trip.

Soon, she was done packing. She then went to Oliver's room to say goodbye to the little guy.

It was noon. Oliver was taking a nap.

The pinky two-year-old was sleeping soundly.

Natalia leaned over, gave him a peck on his pinky cheek, and said softly, "Mommy is going on a business trip. You should stay at home and do what Daddy and Nanny tell you. Be a good boy, okay?" Perhaps due to the special mother-and-son connection, Oliver cocked his brow and smacked his little lips, as though he was responding to her words.

Seeing his reaction, Natalia smiled with gratification.

After kissing him goodbye, she went to Anne's room to check on her.

Anne was a big girl now. She was getting beautiful every day.

The seven-year-old was a very attractive girl. With big eyes and thick eyebrows, she looked quite adorable.

At this time, she was also napping.

But unlike the two-year-old Oliver, this seven-year-old girl only pretended to go to sleep after lunch as the adults told her to, yet she was not really asleep. She had been rolling on her bed reading her favorite comics about some princess, unwilling to fall asleep.

She had pulled the quilt over her head when Natalia walked in.

The maid taking care of Anne smiled at Natalia in resignation after she saw her come in.

Natalia waved at her, motioning for her to go out.

Then, she sat on the edge of her bed.

In a tender voice, she asked, "Anne, are you asleep?"

There was no reply from under the quilt. The middle part of the puffy pinky quilt was bulging. It seemed that Anne had also covered her head with it. Natalia didn't know what to do for a moment.

She jerked the corner of Anne's quilt, but Anne pulled it back with her weak strength, as though she didn't want to get out.

Natalia was amused. "Anne, don't sleep with the quilt over your head. You can't breathe like this."

The girl in the quilt still didn't respond.

Natalia knew Anne was not asleep. She was throwing a tantrum just because she had heard she was leaving again.

Natalia sighed with resignation.

"Anne, if you keep staying under the covers, I'll leave."

"You won't be able to see Mommy for days. Will you miss me?"

"Well, even if you don't, Mommy will definitely miss you. What should I do then? Anne, you really not wanna see Mommy before I leave?"

Natalia patiently coaxed her in a sweet and gentle voice.

A while later, the quilt finally moved. Shortly after, a small head poked out.

Anne's big, sparkling eyes were fixed on Natalia. Her cute lips were pursed with discontent.

"Really? You'll miss me after you leave?"

Natalia couldn't suppress her laughter any longer. She abruptly giggled.

She drew Anne out of the quilt and scooped her into her bosom.

"My silly Anne, you're Mommy's precious little girl. Of course, I will miss you."

Anne gazed at her with a wronged look on her face.

"But it's been a long time since the last time we hung out. My birthday is only days away. But you're leaving..."

As she said that, tears welled up in her eyes.

Natalia was heartbroken.

She hurriedly hugged her and dabbed tears off her face.

At the same time, she comforted her, "Anne, I'm sorry. I've been busy. I don't have time to be with you. But don't worry. Your birthday is next weekend, isn't it? I promise you I'll get back before next weekend to celebrate your birthday with you, okay?"

Anne compressed her lips, not saying anything.

Natalia thought for a moment. Then, she explained patiently, "Here's the thing. Mommy has an appointment with a friend. We've agreed to meet abroad in two days. This appointment was made a long time ago. You don't want Mommy to be a person who breaks her promise, right?"

Anne looked up at her and asked, "Is it very important?"

Natalia nodded vehemently.

"Yes, it's very important. These people once saved my life. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be the same person today."

Anne blinked as if she had comprehended something.

She then nodded.

"Okay. You should go, but you gotta be back before my birthday."

Seeing that Anne had approved, Natalia finally smiled. "Sure. Let's pinkie swear on this. I'll definitely get back and we'll celebrate your birthday together."

Anne's frown finally dissolved. She smiled and pinkie swore with Natalia.

"Mommy, we've pinkie sworn on this. You can't eat your words."

After cheering her daughter up, Natalia went out of the room.

Nancy had already parked the car outside the gate, waiting for her.

Nancy had long become Natalia's loyal employee. She was no longer just a bodyguard Archie put there to keep an eye on her.

In other words, Nancy only took Natalia's orders. She no longer reported to Archie on Natalia's every movement.

This was why Natalia would bring her on this trip to Othua.

Natalia was not as audacious and willful as before.

After all, she was the mother of two children now. She had her own family. Even if she didn't care about her own safety, she wouldn't want her family to worry. Now that she had loved ones, she had gained the loveliest weak spots.

It was true that her family was sometimes her trammel. She couldn't do many things because she had to think for her family.

Yet, admittedly, this was indeed the most wonderful trammel in the world.
