Chapter 577 Very Young
Nathan, of course, would not refuse and nodded, "Yes, of course."
So that evening the three of them met and discussed the project in detail.
Overall, it went well.
Nathan didn't make the decision on a whim.
He knew the risks Natalia would take if she invested in the project, and he knew that even though he
was related to Archie, he wouldn't be able to get any benefits for his own business.
So he was doing it with deep sincerity.
The three of them talked for more than two hours before they made their decision.
With more information, Natalia found that although it was risky, it was an opportunity.
As Archie had said, if Annie International was afraid to try projects with heavy investment and high
risks, other investors would be even more afraid to do it.
As a leader in the industry, Annie International enjoyed big fame and should take on the responsibility
that came with it.
Finally, Natalia agreed to Nathan's project.
Because she was going abroad on a business trip next week, she only gave him part of the money and
she would invite tenders when she returned.
It was decided for the time being.
After the three of them parted, Natalia went straight home.
Anne had been staying at Pinewood Manor these days.
Oliver was already one year old. He couldn't even walk steadily, but he was a little daredevil.
For example, he liked to mess up his father's study and climb on Natalia's dresser to scribble.
He muttered every time he did something bad.
Once Oliver muttered while scribbling on the floor.
Natalia and Archie were both off that day and enjoying a long overdue vacation at home.
Suddenly, they heard a small, indistinct voice.
"Da... Daddy."
Everyone froze. Archie looked at him in shock.
Oliver was still playing with his crayons on the floor and had no idea what an amazing thing he had
done.
Archie suddenly leaped from the sofa, ran over, and held him up, "What did you just say?"
Oliver was less than ten months old. He looked at Archie, froze for a moment, and suddenly giggled.
Then he drooled and mumbled, "Da... Daddy!"
Archie was ecstatic!
It wasn't his first time being a father, but it was the first time he had ever heard his little baby call him
Daddy with his own ears.
He was overjoyed.
That evening, Archie was so happy that he asked the maids to make a nice dinner to celebrate.
When Natalia knew about this, she was a bit jealous.
She ran over to Oliver and gave him a hug, "Oliver, since you call him Daddy, will you call me
Mommy?"
However, Oliver ignored her.
He stared at her breast and held out his chubby little hands.
"Milk..."
Natalia was speechless.
Her face darkened.
Oliver had been weaned, but it hadn't been long, so as soon as she picked him up, he subconsciously
thought he had milk to drink.
Natalia snorted in anger and gave him to the nanny. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.
Why?
Why did her baby say “daddy” first instead of “mommy”?
It was unfair!
Archie watched her sit there angrily and didn't say anything. He just smiled in a good mood all day.
Finally, Anne comforted Natalia and she felt better.
After Oliver was born, Anne became more mature.
Perhaps because she was growing up, she was no longer as naughty as before but considerate.
In fact, Natalia was closer to Anne than her own son, Oliver.
Perhaps because she always wanted a daughter and Anne was a girl and Archie's biological daughter.
She was obedient and sweet and Natalia liked her very much.
Anne had always treated Natalia like her own mother. Ever since she moved into Pinewood Manor, she
had been pestering Natalia every night to tell her a story and let her go only after she fell asleep.
Natalia was satisfied that Anne depended on her.
Sometimes, she looked at the sleeping little girl and couldn't help but think.
She wanted to know what kind of person Anna's real mother was.
She had heard that Anne was a test tube baby made by Amy and that, unlike other test-tube babies,
she was the first baby in the world to be born through an artificial womb.
In other words, the woman had contributed nothing but an egg.
Archie was a neat freak and it was impossible for him to put a mature embryo into another woman's
womb.
As a result, Anne, who grew up in an artificial womb, was weaker than other children when she was
little.
She didn't get stronger until she was six years old.
With that in mind, Natalia suddenly had a strange feeling.
She suddenly realized she'd never really thought about one question.
Why did Archie use the woman's egg to create a congenitally weak baby at that time?
Judging by Anne's age, Archie was 22 or 23 years old back then. He was very young.
He shouldn't be in a hurry to get married or have a child.
So why would he create a test tube baby when he couldn't have a child with that woman?
Out of love? Or because of something else...
It kept haunting Natalia.
But she didn't dare to ask Archie.
She didn't think it was necessary.
After all, they are now living happily and in a way that she had only ever dreamed of. Whatever the
truth was, it was in the past. Why should she uncover the scar?
