The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 407 Seth Is Under Fire

It was the day of little princess Chesney Shaw's birthday.

Chesney woke up early in the morning with a big smile on her tiny face.

She chose a beautiful princess dress by herself and got dressed with Susan's help.

Then, she chose a shiny hair clip and a pair of pink leather flats.

"Mommy, am I pretty?" asked Chesney joyously.

"Pretty? You're the most beautiful girl in the world, Chessie," said Susan with a smile.

Chesney laughed gracefully before she said, "I think so too. However, I give you permission to be the second most beautiful girl in the world, mommy."

"Thank you, my little princess." Susan chuckled and took Chesney's hand.

There was already quite a number of people that had come for the party when they got downstairs.

Seth Leeds was about to dash over as soon as he saw Chesney. "Little princess, come over and give me a hug n

Julian tugged at Seth's collar with a long face.

"What are you doing?" Seth struggled in an attempt to break free and run over.

"Stay away from Chessie. Sit on the sofa obediently," said Julian.

Seth immediately had a mental breakdown. "It has been over three years, and you still won't let me get near Chessie? It was a joke, brother. I made a joke at the time."

He had only made a joke about courting Chesney at the time! Why was Julian bearing a grudge until now? Seth felt a wrenching pain in his heart.

"Heh heh heh..." Julian responded with a scoff.

"Daddy, don't bully Uncle Seth." Chesney skipped over, dressed in an adorable princess dress.

Seth was so touched that tears started brimming in his eyes instantly. "Chessie is the best. This is truly a case of a bad parent having a good child! Come here, Chessie. This is the birthday present I got for you."

Seth took out an entire set of limited-edition Barbie dolls. Chesney was elated.

"Thank you, Uncle Seth." Chesney received the gift joyously and then said earnestly, "Uncle Seth, you must have spent a lot of money on this, right? Don't spend so much money next time, alright?" Seth could not help bursting into laughter. "Don't worry, I still have the money for this."

Seth had presented his gift. Next, George Wright and Luna Harris gave her their gifts merrily.

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma," answered Chesney sweetly.

Seth was intrigued while watching the scene and could not help asking, "Chessie, why haven't you persuaded your grandpa and grandma to save their money? The clothes that they give you are very expensive too."

Chesney took a glance at Seth. She was about to speak but said nothing. After a long while, she said, "Uncle Seth, do you insist on me telling you the truth?"

"Go ahead, go ahead," said Seth excitedly.

Chesney immediately said in a childish voice, "Adults talk about money for marriage. It costs a lot of money to get married. Grandma is already married to grandpa, so it's fine, but you still haven't gotten married after such a long time. It must be because you don't have enough money for marriage. Right, Uncle Seth?"

As Chesney was speaking, she cast a sympathetic glance at Seth. "Uncle Seth, I still have some private savings, actually. If you really don't have sufficient money, I can lend you some."

Chesney and her sympathetic gaze were truly adorable.

The entire group of people could not refrain from laughing.

Seth could not help shouting aloud, "Chessie! You must have misunderstood something. It's not that I can't get a wife. I just don't want to have one. If I want to, even if I lack money, just based on my appearance and talent, the people asking for my hand in marriage will start lining up here and extend until the pacific ocean."

Chesney stared at Seth for a long while before she said cautiously, "Uncle Seth, have you misunderstood something about yourself?"

Seth was left speechless.

This time, everyone roared with laughter.

Chesney had no idea what everyone was laughing about. A look of confusion flashed past her huge eyes for a moment.

It was precisely her confusion that made the situation seem even funnier.

Oh oh oh oh oh. Seth suppressed the urge to raise his head and let out a howl. He tugged at Chesney's little hand and pointed her finger at Jacob Shelby with a furious expression. "Chessie, don't just talk about me. Your Uncle Jacob is a single man too. Show your contempt to him ferociously."

Chesney blinked innocently. "Just based on Uncle Jacob's appearance and talent, the line of people asking for his hand in marriage will start here and extend until the pacific ocean."

Jacob could not help laughing aloud. "Good girl, Chesney. Here, this is your present."

Chesney accepted the gift joyously.

Seth was not pleased. "Chessie, have you misunderstood something about your Uncle Jacob?"

"Not really," Chesney said in a childish tone. "Uncle Jacob is really handsome so he must be popular.

Besides, I heard daddy and mommy once say that Aunty Anna likes Uncle Jacob. They also said something about waiting for Uncle Jacob to come to his senses so they will be together."

Anna Wright was still rejoicing and laughing aside initially. Her face blushed scarlet at once when she heard that. She was rendered utterly incapable of laughing anymore.

She cast a glance at Jacob with a guilty conscience before she suddenly let out a cough. "Chessie, don't talk nonsense!"

"Right, right, right. Don't talk nonsense." Jacob seconded that because he had a guilty conscience.

"I wasn't talking nonsense." Chesney was recalcitrant. "That time, daddy and mommy were whispering to one another and I accidentally overheard it. I have a very good hearing so I can hear things clearly." "Oh oh oh oh, how clear was that? Come and tell me." Serenity Wright stepped forward coquettishly and pinched Chessie's little cheek.

"They..." Chesney was about to speak.

Meanwhile, Anna was already stamping her foot."

Don't say it, Chessie!" "Tell me, I'd coincidentally like to hear it too," said Jacob suddenly with a smile.

Anna panicked and could not help shooting a glance at Jacob.

He was sitting over there quietly, taking his time to speak with a calm gaze. There was no telling what was actually on his mind.

As Anna was sizing up Jacob, Jacob suddenly raised his head and took a glance at her.

Anna turned her head to the side with a whoosh and felt her entire face burning.

Over there, Chesney was already replaying the scene in all apparent seriousness.

She imitated Susan's tone first. "Julian, Jacob went on a business trip to Paris a few days ago. Did Anna go as well?"

Then, she imitated Julian's tone. "Hmm. Jacob, Seth, and Anna went together. The rooms they booked were connected." Susan said, "How did Jacob react to that? Has he come to his senses yet?"

Julian said, "I asked him about it when he came back. He told me that he did not leave the room much other than to go out to meet the clients. The coding tasks aside, Anna came to see him one night and they watched a movie on the television."

The group of people was having a good time listening to the story. Seth could not help interrupting Chessie. He cracked an evil smile and said, "Which movie was that? An NC-17 movie? Anna, I really couldn' tell that you were such a straightforward person. You're so straightforward, yet Jacob still hasn't responded?"

Anna was trying her best to look for a hole in the ground as she chanted secretly in her heart.

'It's going to be hard for Jacob not to respond even if he doesn't want to...'

Jacob knew that she liked him, so how was he going to respond to that? Anna felt rather anxious in her heart, yet she did not have the courage to look at Jacob's expression.
