My Wife Is So Sweet

Chapter 20 Birthday Party

Chapter 20 Birthday Party

The next day, it was the birthday party of Jessica.

Eight o'clock in the evening, at the Hitz-Hardon Hotel.

Although the banquet was just beginning, most of the guests were already there.

In the lavishly decorated banquet hall, more than half of the most powerful figures of the city of Julio

were gathered together under the exquisite crystal chandeliers, clanking and toasting.

Today, Jessica was dressed in a lilac tube top long dress with hand-made embroidery. The lining of the

dress stopped precisely above her ankles, and on the outside were layers of soft yarn, sweeping on the

ground, giving her an unworldly beauty. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Holding a glass of wine, she made her way through the crowd, greeting the guests one by one.

Her elegant movements and graceful manners made her exactly like some lady from a noble

background.

Low bursts of praising words could be heard everywhere.

"Miss Dawson is elegant and beautiful. No wonder she's so popular in the entertainment industry."

"Sure, it's not just that she's beautiful, she's also got herself a good husband. Not everyone can marry

the young master of the Miller family."

"She's indeed something herself. It's just been a few years and she's already in such a position. That's

not easy."

"The Dawson family has been so lucky to have such a daughter. If they can join hands with the Miller

family, they shall have no rivals in the entire city."

As the discussion continued in the hall, Jessica curled her lips in satisfaction.

After all, it was naturally something to feel proud of to be recognized.

The Dawsons at present were all smiling, and even Clara could not hide her pride anymore hearing all

these compliments.

She looked around the hall and tilted her head to ask Philip, "Is Natalia here?"

Philip answered in a low voice, "Not yet."

Clara knit her brows swiftly.

Philip muttered next to her ear, "Mom, she wouldn't just lie to us, would she?"

"Probably not." Aleena herself was also somewhat worried, "Natalia always keeps her words. Maybe

it's just the traffic. Or something happens to her. Should we call her?"

Philip sneered, "What can happen? We told her two days ago. What can possibly keep her until now?

It's not the rash hour. What can be wrong with the traffic? I think she just won't come. She wants to

make us all embarrassed."

Hearing this, Aleena could only force a smile.

"Actually, it doesn't really matter if she is not here. The other guests would be just fine. It's just Mrs.

Wright...."

Mrs. Wright was the god mother of Kiera, Natalia's mother, and she was also the witness of the

engagement of Natalia and Shawn.

The Wright family had quite a history in the city of Julio. Though they were not even nearly as powerful

as they once were, they still had quite an influence, especially in the world of business.

After all, Mrs. Wright was from the Kawn family. Everyone in the Ambario knew they could never afford

to cross the Kawn family.

Though Mrs. Wright had left the Kawn family many years ago, they had kept a connection with each

other. The Dawson family sure knew better than to cross her.

The eyebrows of Clara were tightly knitted. After a while, she said in a low voice, "Call her. Ask her

where she is. And tell her, if I can't see her in an hour, she will have to bear the consequences."

Philip immediately brightened and hurriedly agreed before he went aside to make the call.

At this moment, Mrs. Wright walked towards them with her grandson, Declan Wright.

"Why is Natalia not here yet? You told me Natalia gave up on the marriage herself, and that's why I'm

here. But now she's not here. Won't you lie to me, will you?"

Clara hurried force a bright smile on her face, as if begging, "How come? How dare we ever lie to you?

Natalia just called us. She's now in a traffic jam. It might take a little longer for her to be here. Let's wait

a bit, and she will explain to you."

Mrs. Wright swept her glance over the family and scoffed coldly.

"You'd better say the truth. Or if I find out you are bullying her, I will never let you go. Sure you don't

want to be the enemy of the Wright family, right?"

The smiling face of Clara stiffened, and after a while, she nodded, "Sure."

Mrs. Wright scoffed again and turned to leave.

Immediately after Mrs. Wright left them, Philip came back with his phone.

Clara's face darkened and asked, "How's it? Is she here?"

"Yeah, she said she is on the way now."

Clara finally felt relieved and took a deep breath, "That's great. I believe she would not dare to play any

tricks."

In the meanwhile...

Brian also placed an invitation before Archie.

"Mr. McCarthy, today the Dawson family is throwing a party for their daughter, and they also invited

you. Are we going?"

The invitation had been sent to him two days ago, but Archie was too busy to pay attention to it. Finally,

even Brian had almost forgotten about this matter.

Now the banquet had already begun, and he remembered the invitation only now and hurriedly took the

invitation over to him.

Archie raised his head from the pile of documents and swept a glance over the names on the invitation.

"Is she going?"

Brian did not even need to ask to know what he meant by "she".

Hurriedly, he answered, "Yes, Mr. McCarthy. I saw her name on the list."

His hand paused in the middle of a signature. After a while, he nodded, "Prepare a gift. We will be

going in a while."

"Yes, Mr. McCarthy."

...

The clanking and toasting in the banquet hall continued.

The Dawson family was getting more and more nervous.

It was all because of Natalia, who was still nowhere to be found.

Mrs. Wright had sent someone to ask Clara more than once. And every time the answer would be just

the same, "She's on the way."

However, it's been almost an hour, and Natalia was not here yet. Mrs. Wright was losing her patience

and thought they were lying to her.

Just when she was going to confront them, a loud noise sounded from the doorway.

Everyone looked over out of curiosity, and when they saw the cause of the commotion, they could not

help gasp in surprise.

Holy Heavens! Who was that! She's so beautiful!

Natalia was dressed in a dark blue long dress with starry patterns today.

Her long and slender body was just a heavenly match for her dress. The stars on her dress were like a

waterfall flowing from her waist to the ground, sketching her beautiful narrow waistline.

Her delicate face was now stunning with a thin layer of makeup and her slightly wavy yet fluffy chestnut

hair, draped on her shoulders, was swaying gently as she walked.

She walked into the hall, stood not far from the door and swept her cool glance over the guests in the

hall, the aura of her aloof nobility emanating from her whole being.

Some of the guests made eye contact with her, felt a chill running up their spine, and could not help

moving their eyesight.

But the face was indeed beautiful, and it would be such a loss if they did not take everything in. Thus,

despite the nervousness, they were still reluctant to look away, hoping to watch her face for a few more

minutes.
