Chapter 183

Author: Cloud Drop
By the time Archer carried her upstairs, Aria was fast asleep. The moment he set her down on the bed, she rolled over, looking restless even in sleep.

Archer studied her drunk state—cheeks flushed pink, eyes closed, but her brow was furrowed like she couldn't settle down.

She lay on her stomach with her head turned to one side, that slight frown still creasing her forehead.

Archer slipped off her jacket and pulled the covers over her. The AC was running and the blankets were cool, so even in her sleep, Aria instinctively clutched them tight, curling up until she gradually warmed up. Only then did her frown fade and her body relax, rolling over before drifting deeper into sleep.

Aria's purse had been tossed on the floor, and her phone started ringing inside.

Archer pulled out the phone and saw "Larry" on the screen. His eyes narrowed as he decisively declined the call, then blocked the number and deleted it from the call history.

He glanced at Aria, then took the phone back to his

    Archer looked at his smiling little wife, his Adam's apple bobbing as his voice took on a slight rasp."What are you up to?"Aria shook her head. "I'm not up to anything. I just want to talk with you."He lowered his gaze from the documents, those dark eyes growing even more intense as they fixed on her, as if searching for some deeper meaning."What do you want to say?" Archer asked.Aria's fingers danced across the desk surface, two of them walking like tiny feet—tap, tap, tap—until they reached his hand. Then those same fingers caught his sleeve, giving it the gentlest shake.Such a simple gesture, light as a leaf drifting onto a frozen lake's surface, yet somehow that single leaf seemed to herald spring's arrival. The endless ice and snow appeared to melt in that instant, sunlight breaking through to dance across the water in shimmering waves.Archer caught her wandering hand, his voice rough. "What are you up to?"He looked serious enough, but having seen how cold and ster

    He wasn't there when she got married—he wasn't even in the country.So Aria thought Archer must have developed other feelings after having contact with her during those three years, and later coincidentally learned about that rather warm memory they shared in childhood.Henry also said that Archer would specially learn to make pastries at home because she liked mont blanc cakes. But while the Duncan family's eldest son was great at cooking, his dessert-making skills seemed to be completely switched off. The first time, the mont blanc cake turned into mush. The second time it was burnt on the outside and raw inside—so charred on the outside that people might mistake it for chocolate-flavored cake. Fortunately, Archer gave up on learning to make mont blanc cakes himself and went to that shop at dawn, worried he wouldn't be able to get her favorite pastries if he waited until morning.This was something Archer would do.Someone like Archer... who was clearly cold toward outsiders, alw

    Kent, who walked in just in time to hear what Henry had said, felt like everything went black. Seeing the atmosphere in the office getting increasingly awkward, Kent quickly rushed in and used almost all his strength to drag Henry out.Henry was confused as he got dragged away."What do you need to say?""Bro, are those things you can just blurt out? When we're being wingmen, we need to choose the right things to say!" Kent reminded him.Henry didn't understand and even glanced at him, "Which part did I say wrong? Didn't you say to let Miss Jackson know how much Mr. Duncan has done for her?""How much he's done for her, not how many embarrassing things he's done! Otherwise Mr. Duncan's image will completely collapse... No man wants his love interest to know about his embarrassing moments." After Kent put it this way, Henry paused and said, "If there are real feelings, even embarrassing moments would seem cute, right?""..." Kent felt like he was about to be convinced by Henry.

    Henry: "..."Henry looked blank for a moment, "Oh."Kent felt another headache coming on."Also, bro, whenever the boss buys something for Mrs. Duncan or does something to help her behind the scenes, we can let Mrs. Duncan know about it. Right now their relationship isn't that stable yet, and as the boss's right-hand men, we should definitely help boost his reputation with Mrs. Duncan!"After Kent spelled it out this clearly, Henry finally got it completely. Then he was quiet for a moment, "Are we two..."He pointed at himself, then at Kent,”Like the NPCs in novels or TV shows who help the male and female leads get together?"Henry instantly understood his role and even confidently pushed up his glasses."I know what to do now."Hearing Henry say this, Kent felt inexplicably nervous.Did Henry really know what to do?......Aria had no idea about Kent and Henry's conversation. She was standing next to Archer, still seeming worried about those two paintings.Even though she'

    William had been watching these two the whole time and was amused by their performance. But the next second, he saw Aria actually frown, close her design portfolio, and walk over to Archer, "Actually... you don't have to hire Mr. Luther as a design consultant just for me. Is it too late to get those two paintings back?"William: "?"Did anyone ask how he felt about this?Your husband doesn't like those paintings! He bought those paintings just to manipulate me!He only agreed to be Aria's design consultant because of his friendship with Archer and those two paintings as a favor. How did this turn into Aria thinking he wasn't worth it?Fine.The couple's in love, and he's the third wheel.William finally understood why Kent had pulled this stunt at this exact moment.No wonder Archer took this kid everywhere—he was sharp as a tack."Kid, whenever you're tired of working at Duncan Industries, give me a call," William said with a fake smile, extending an olive branch to Kent."T

    Archer's eyes darkened, "After all these years, the Luther family still can't control Wendy?""You know how it is—the Luther family has mostly boys. Wendy's our only girl, so everyone spoils her."Archer's face remained cold, but he didn't say much more. After a moment, he said flatly, “Then you better make sure the Luther family teaches her some manners. If she ever causes real trouble, the Duncan family won't coddle her like the Luther family does."Archer had put his cards on the table.If Wendy dared to mess with Aria, Archer would make her pay.Besides, the Duncan family was in Harbour City while the Luther family was in Andes City. They weren't even in the same region and rarely collaborated. Only William had any real friendship with Archer. If it came down to it, the Luther family probably couldn't protect Wendy."Alright, I'll talk to my parents about this."William thought to himself that someone should have reined Wendy in ages ago, before she caused more chaos every o
