Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 698

Natalia already told Archie before he left home this morning that she would set off today.

With Nancy being with her, Archie was not worried about her safety.

Besides, according to Natalia, she was only going abroad for work.

She would be back in three or four days. This was a short trip, so he had nothing to worry about.

Therefore, he didn’t see her off in person. He just asked the driver to send them to the airport and told Natalia that he would go there to pick them up when they got back.

Natalia was tormented by a tinge of guilt, because she somehow felt that she had betrayed Archie’s trust.

But if she told him the truth, it would only make things difficult for him.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and forcibly fought back the surge of gloom.

After arriving at the airport, she led Nancy straight to the boarding gate.

The flight to Othua would take seven hours.

They both took a nap during the flight. It was already nighttime when the plane landed in Lanceham.

Natalia had contacted someone to pick them up. It was a young, sturdy, gold-haired man who spoke fluent English.

He greeted her, “Hi, Seven, it’s been so long.”

Natalia smiled and hugged him. She then introduced Nancy to him, “This is a friend of mine.”

The man extended a hand to Nancy and said, “Hello, I’m Sam.”

Nancy nodded with a smile and replied, “Hi, I’m Nancy.”

After exchanging greetings, Sam led them to the parking lot.

“I heard that you’re here for the Flying Competition. It’s been years since I watched you race. Now, I can finally see your stunning skills.”

Natalia grinned. She had told Nancy about her being a racing driver before.

Nancy was completely loyal to her now. She had even told her many things that even Archie didn’t know.

Of course, Nancy would not tell those things to Archie.

With a chuckle, she said, “Yes. I haven’t raced for years. My skills are getting a little rusty. I can’t really tell how this would turn out.”

Sam perceptively gave her a pep talk. “Seven, believe in yourself. You were a superstar who won the championship three years in a row. Give yourself more credit. You can do it!”

Imbued by his enthusiasm, Natalia also began to laugh.

“I hope so.”

They got into the car, chatting and laughing.

Sam and Natalia went way back. He was not a racing driver, but he had a great interest in racing. He was kind of Natalia’s fan.

Since Sam was in the tourism business, Natalia let him handle her accommodation, transportation, and the like during her stay in Othua.

She had considered staying in one of Archie’s properties or hotels in Othua, but she might come into contact with the Bissel family during this period.

In addition, she wanted to investigate something in secret.

To do that, she would inevitably associate with those people. Her movements would be exposed then.

Nancy could keep her secrets for the time being, but those people couldn’t.

Thus, she preferred not to stay in Archie’s real estate. At least, she couldn’t let Archie find out the real purpose of this trip before the competition was over.

Sam was talkative. After all, he used to be a tour guide. During the ride, he had a good chat with them.

He was fluent in six languages and knew a lot of traditions and customs in different countries.

So he could easily start a nice conversation with anyone.

Plus, he was a smart guy who knew not to overstep the boundary. He could effortlessly sense that what topics others might be interested in and what they might want to avoid.

But in Lanceham, Othua, it was six in the morning.

There was indeed jet lag. But Natalia was used to the time difference, for she traveled a lot for work in recent years.

As for Nancy, it was no problem at all. She was never bothered by this.

It was too early. No stores serving breakfast had opened yet. Thus, the two went to the restaurant in the hotel to grab a bite.

After the meal, they went to rest in their rooms to take a rest.

They slept for hours. At three in the afternoon, Natalia woke up. She planned to first go out for a walk with Nancy.

She found Lanceham basically the same as it was when she last came here two years ago.

Nancy, who knew how she lived in Lanceham back then, said with a smile, “If you don’t mind, I would love to visit the place you stayed in before. Maybe we’ll bump into some of your old acquaintances.”

Natalia chortled and said, “That place is long gone.”

When Archie was injured and hospitalized last time, she already brought him there.

It had been deserted for a long time. That day, she even found an abandoned car and raced a lap in it.

That was only a couple of years ago. But now she thought of it, it seemed to be in the remote past.

The two wandered on the streets for quite a while. When the night fell, they found a nice restaurant to dine in.

After dinner, she received a call from Sam.

Sam’s voice sounded jubilant.

“Hi, Seven, I’ve done what you asked me to do. I’ll text you the address in a moment. You can go there this evening.”

Natalia gave a tiny smile and asked, “How much should I pay?”

“Oh come on, we’re friends. Do we still need to talk about money? The venue belongs to a friend of mine. He gave me a friend discount on the car. I’ve made the payment for you in advance. Just pay me back together with all the other expenses later.”
