The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 103 That Girl

A few minutes later...

Seth Leeds looked at Julian Shaw in schadenfreude. "0 h no, you’ve been driven out from the room, huh."

Julian raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Oh no, you don't even have anyone to drive you out of the room."

Seth:

He pulled up his sleeves and he was about to charge forward to fight Julian. “Jacob, don't try to stop me. I’m going to fight him today regardless."

Jacob Shelby threw him a baffling glance. “Since when have I stopped you? I'm fully supportive of you fighting him. However, your success rate is less than 1 0% according to my prediction. Don't you worry though, I’ll help clean up the mess and your corpse when you lose."

Seth:

He realized that even Jacob had gotten meaner!

"Hmph." Seth grunted coldly before he said in extreme resentment, "I shall let him off temporarily for today."

"Heh.” Julian only sneered once.

His sneer was akin to the act of probing a hornet’s nest.

Seth glared at Julian and said abominably, "Do you think you're smart because you’ve got a wife? Haven't you heard of the saying, 'Marriage is the grave of love? Even though I don't have a girlfriend

now, I have plenty of women hugging me as soon as I go out. It’s very elegant, unlike you being driven out of the room i n the early morning."

Julian shot a side glance at Julian. "What do you know? This is a rare occasion that I let her do this to m e. On usual days, does she have the courage to go west if I order to go east? Does she have the courage to do the dishes if I order her to do the laundry? Does she have the courage to kneel on a keyboard when I order her to kneel on a remote control? ..." 5

Julian talked endlessly while Seth blinked, gazing after his back. He suddenly became schadenfreude.

Julian squinted when he realized that something did not feel right.

Jacob had already called out, "Susie."

Julian felt his back tense up for a moment in a barely discernible manner. 1

Soon afterward, he turned around naturally and greeted, "Susie, you're up."

"Susan." Seth thrived on schadenfreude. "I heard that you don't have the courage to head west when Young Master Shaw orders you to go east?" 1

Seth appeared to be waiting for a show while Susan Shelby blinked her eyes innocently and cracked into a smile that revealed her pearly whites. "I have a

terrible sense of direction so I'll go where he asks me t o." i

Seth was stunned for a moment before he became even more recalcitrant. "Do you not have the courage t o do the dishes if he orders you to do the laundry? Do you not have the courage to kneel on a keyboard when he orders you to kneel on a remote control?"

Susan continued to show her pearly whites. "It's okay, after all, he can't bear to let me do the laundry or kneel on a remote control.”

Seth felt a crushing blow to his soul as he looked at Susan's smile.

He could not help howling sorrowfully. "It's still early i n the morning and I've been dissed for being a single man! I don’t want to live anymore. Jacob, don't try to stop me. I don't want to live anymore." i

Jacob took a disdainful glance at him and continued t o behave calmly as before. "I'm not trying to stop you." 3

Seth continued to create a disturbance such that Susan could not help glaring at Julian.

Had it not been her trying not to make a fool of Julian i n front of Seth, she would... she would...

Before Susan could think of what she would do, Julian's face suddenly leaned closer to her.

The corners of his lips curled up ever so slightly and h e appeared to be in a rather good mood.

He lowered his voice and said softly, "Susie, how do

you know that I can't bear to do those things to you?"

The warmth of his breath landed on her sensitive earlobe.

Susan could not help glaring at him before she stretched out her hand and pinched the flesh on his waist heavily. 1

"Hiss." Julian drew in a cold breath. He wanted to complain about the pain but he suppressed the urge forcibly.

"I'd like to see you bluff again next time." Susan looked at him proudly.

Her eyes glistened with excitement.

Julian's gaze turned gentle beyond his control as he looked at her.

Susan was a mischievous, carefree girl in the past.

Her characteristics were constantly oppressed due to the incidents that took place continuously later on.

It was his pride to see her carefree smile like this once again now.

After breakfast, Julian headed to the company while Susan continued to work on her sketches.

The design competition was near at hand after all.

She wanted to be in her best condition.

A video call invitation popped up on her computer screen as soon as she took a seat.

Susan accepted the invitation but she still could not refrain herself from rolling her eyes. "Julian, what did you do?”

"Don't you know what I did yesterday night?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

Susan’s face blushed scarlet. Then, she said through her clenched teeth, "I'm going to stop the call if that is all!"

"I shall keep calling if you have the courage to hang up the call. My last name is not Shaw if I don’t harass you until you start doubting your life!"

Susan said, "...What are you trying to do actually?"

"Nothing. I only want to ask you if...you're full from having breakfast?" Julian had a solemn expression on his face.

Susan responded, "...I'm full."

"So what would you like to have for lunch later?"

"...Anything is fine."

So, you...

"What do you want from me actually?" Susan could not refrain from interrupting him.

Julian's gaze turned much gentler at once. He said in a deep voice, "Nothing, only that I start missing you after leaving you for just a while."

Susan's face blushed instantly.

She had just realized that the domineering man was actually skilled in flirting.

Susan could not help glaring at him. "Julian, have you said this to many women?”

"No.” Julian raised an eyebrow. "You are the one and only from start to end."

'Oh oh oh oh.'

Susan felt rather restless.

She wondered if this was her problem or Julian’s problem?

Why did she feel like every word from this man was a tease for her? 1 Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

However, he said that she was the one and only from start to end.

Susan pursed her lips in disbelief. "How about the girl that you love?”

Even though she kept telling herself not to mind about past events, it was still hard for Susan to stop herself from revealing the jealous tone in her voice.

Julian could not help smirking upon seeing her jealous look.

The woman still had no idea until now that there had never been another person all this time. The only person he loved was her from the start.

It was only that... He was not planning to tell her the

truth yet.

They made a pact when they were young that they would return to the secret base twenty years later.

The time that they agreed upon was approaching soon.

He looked forward to it now. He bet that it would certainly be exciting for him to see Susan's expression when she realized it was him.

Julian did not answer her question but his gaze turned incomparably gentle at once. Susan's gaze dimmed upon realizing that he must be thinking about the girl.

She pursed her lips and suddenly said, "Julian! What are you planning to do if the girl comes back in the future?"

The question was...

Julian rubbed his chin. "What do you think?”

Susan's gaze was all serious. "If the day really comes, you may regret this and wish to make a different choice. Will you please tell me so I can choose to leave?"

She could let down her pride and stay with him shamelessly for his money when she was not in love with Julian.

However, she could not do that anymore when she had fallen in love with him.
