The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 179 Sisterly Quarrel

"Isabelle, why are you only home now..."

Yvonne Shelby was eating fruits while watching television with her legs crossed. She appeared to be having a good time enjoying the moment so she spoke without any courtesy when she heard voices coming from the doorway.

All of a sudden!

She raised her head with a shocked expression flashing past her eyes at once.

The grape in her hand dropped to the coffee table with a splatter.

Yvonne corrected her sitting position rapidly and revealed a shy expression on her face. "Mr. Shaw."

Yvonne felt like she was turning mad soon.

'Oh god, why is Julian Shaw here?'

'Did he see my unkempt and disheveled state?'

'Oh god, oh god, oh god.'

Yvonne's heart was filled with remorse and embarrassment.

'That's Yvonne! She was one of the three little girls back in those years.' 'This woman should be aware of Little Flower's identity too.'

Julian took a meaningful glance at her but did not say anything.

Yvonne's entire person became agitated after he glanced at her.

She could not refrain herself from letting her mind wander.

'Why did Julian Shaw suddenly come here?"

'Could it be that...he has taken a fancy to me since earlier? Did he come here on purpose to see me this time?' The more she thought about it, the more Yvonne found her thoughts to make sense. She could not help blushing. 1 "Mr. Shaw, I..." said Yvonne shyly.

"Yvonne, I was admitted to the hospital and that is why I'm home late." All of a sudden, Isabelle's fearful voice was heard. Yvonne could not refrain herself from glaring at Isabelle.

Yvonne thought about how her sister was truly impervious to an obvious situation. Why did she choose to interrupt now!

A disdainful look flashed past Isabelle's eyes upon noticing Yvonne's fully exposed emotions. 'How dare you cast your covetous eyes on Julian, Yvonne. Are you worthy of him?'

Even though they were siblings, Isabelle despised Yvonne since the start.

Had it not been Yvonne's foolishness and domineeringness that could set off her delicateness, she would have framed Yvonne to death.

"Admitted to the hospital? What happened? Are you injured?" asked Yvonne softly when she remembered that Julian was still around so she could not help suppressing her resentment for Isabelle being oblivious to the situation.

Isabelle chuckled shyly. "It's not a severe injury, but Mr. Shaw insisted on sending me to the hospital and then insisted on sending me home by himself."

As she was speaking, Isabelle took a grateful glance at Julian. "Mr. Shaw, thank you."

"I should," answered Julian nonchalantly.

Yvonne could not keep the smile on her face anymore. Her entire face was about to become distorted with rage!

'What? Mr. Shaw actually sent Isabelle home?!'

Her sister was a useless cry baby. Which part of her was worthy of Julian's good grace?

Yvonne had always been selfish and domineering. Even when Isabelle was her younger sister, she could not bear to see Isabelle strike up a relationship with Julian either! Julian looked around the house. "Your parents aren't home?

Isabelle chuckled softly. "I believe that they're busy with work. Should I give them a call to ask them to come home?"

"No need," Julian smiled. "I'm about to leave soon."

As he was speaking, Julian looked at Isabelle and said softly, "Rest well, Little Flower?"

Little Flower?

A suspicious glow flashed past Yvonne's eyes involuntarily.

"Hmm." At this very moment, Isabelle felt her heart almost beating out of her chest. She said softly, "I'm really sorry for making you so worried."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. We have been friends since childhood after all." Julian said smilingly, "There's no reason why I shouldn't be concerned about you."

Friends since childhood?

Yvonne could not remain calm anymore. She could not refrain from interrupting, "Mr. Shaw, you've been acquainted with my younger sister since childhood?"

Julian glanced at Yvonne and said in an all-natural manner, "Don't you know about that? I believe you met me too when I was young. I stayed in that villa in Lin County for a year at the time." 'Lin County...villa...friends since childhood.'

Yvonne suddenly reacted to the situation as her eyes widened in surprise abruptly. "Mr. Shaw, you...you are that little boy?"

Even though it had been twenty years since the event, the little boy from the past left behind a truly profound impression in her mind so Yvonne could react to the situation at once. "That's me," Julian nodded. "I was closest to Isabelle at the time so I didn't notice Susie and you. Why, have you forgotten about me?"

"You were closest to Isabelle?" Yvonne was stunned for a moment with a suspicious glow in her eyes.

Her instinct told her that something was not right so she could not refrain from glancing at Isabelle.

Isabelle's expression was extremely calm. She said with a smile, "Yvonne, why do you look so surprised? Have you forgotten about it because it's been too long?"

As she was speaking, she cast a look at Yvonne.

Yvonne could not help being stunned for a moment!

She suddenly remembered something.

About half a month ago, Isabelle discussed something with her.

Isabelle said that if anyone asked her about the little boy from her childhood, Yvonne was instructed to answer that she had forgotten about it because it had been too long regardless of who asked the question.

She had no idea what Isabelle's intention was for instructing her like this at the time.

However, she took on the task and dismissed the thought, thinking that it was not anything important.

She suddenly realized Isabelle's intention for saying that upon seeing Julian now.

Yvonne stopped speaking for a long while. A look of panic finally appeared in Isabelle's eyes. "Sister?"

Yvonne looked up and took a meaningful glance at Isabelle. Then, she said, "Yup, it's true that I can't remember that well anymore."

Julian narrowed his eyes then he cracked a smile. "It's fine that you don't remember anymore, it's fine as long as Isa remembers. Isn't that right, Isa?"

Julian called her 'Isa' affectionately for the first time. It made Isabelle so excited that her entire person was shaking.

She nodded shyly. "I'll never forget for the rest of my life."

Julian nodded then said, "I shall leave now. Rest well and I shall have someone send over some tonics for you later."

Isabelle nodded in excitement.

Isabelle gazed after Julian's departing silhouette and closed the door.

"You're' really something, Isabelle." Yvonne's legs were crossed and the corners of her lips cracked into a mocking smile. "You've told the veriest lie."

Meanwhile, Isabelle had already lost the shy, fearful look she assumed when Julian was there earlier. She made her way to Yvonne swiftly.

"Yvonne, do you know that you almost made me spill the beans earlier?" Isabelle's tone of voice sounded rather rigid.

"Hey, are you questioning me?" Yvonne sat upright at once. "Isabelle, I was just about to ask you! Wasn't Susan the one who was closest to the little boy when we were young? How did it turn into you suddenly!"

"This is none of your business," said Isabelle.

"None of my business?" Yvonne sneered. "You've deceived Julian. How do you think he will treat you when he learns the truth from me?"
