The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 496 There Must Be Something Wrong With Willa

Ideas raced through Julian Shaw's mind. Then, he softened his voice. "Susie, don't you want to go back to see Jacob and Anna's budding relationship?"

Uh...

She would actually like to see that.

Susan Shelby could not help being tempted.

However, she could not help looking at Julian suspiciously either. "This is the only reason, huh?"

She could feel that something was off about Julian.

They had still been talking about Willa Doyle a moment ago. He had changed the topic of conversation a little too quickly.

"Yes, of course," said Julian in a rather sincere manner.

Susan looked at him in all apparent seriousness. She could not tell what was off about him, so she could not help raising an eyebrow. "Okay, let's go back. You still have to clarify the situation regarding Willa to me first, though. Even if Willa was hoaxing me on purpose, why would she fall in love with you out of nowhere? Did you do anything to her?"

"I don't know what is going on with her either, but I can absolutely vouch that I've never done anything to her." Julian was alarmed. His forehead was covered in sweat.

When managing official business affairs, Julian had always schemed and fenced remarkably well and assumed a calm and composed attitude. However, he was as nervous as a cat that had heard a mouse move in the wall now.

The misunderstanding with Willa had been resolved with great effort. Susan's heart softened ever so slightly as she looked at Julian's anxious face.

She had seen Julian's performance with her own eyes for the past few months.

Even though he had messily sent her gifts, even though his actions had been clumsy and awkward most of the time, Susan knew that Julian had already changed a lot for her.

She had seen the large pile of messy books that he carried with him, including 'How To Get Along With Your Spouse' and TOO Techniques To Date Women'. In the past, Julian would never have taken a glance at these nonsensical books. However, he had read these books for her.

Susan had watched as he'd swallowed his pride before her over and over again and begged for her forgiveness shamelessly. If the people from the company were to see him in such a state, they would certainly widen their eyes so much that their eyeballs would drop out of their eye sockets.

For the past few months, Julian had even seemed a little inferior before her.

These actions had made Susan's heart waver.

However, as soon as she'd remembered her principles on love and Willa's presence, she had been utterly incapable of getting over it and forgiving Julian.

Julian had not had a good time in the past few months, but neither had she.

Fortunately, the Locke Award had made her get fully engaged in the competition. She had used that hectic process to numb her hurting heart. Otherwise, she believed that she would have gone mad. Now that she had learned that Willa had only been playing one-sided tricks, she wondered if she could stop tormenting Julian and torturing herself.

"Susie, don't you trust me?" Julian looked a t Susan anxiously.

He had never expected that Willa would do this behind his back. However, there was n o evidence in his hands that he could use to prove that Willa was delusional. If Susie would not trust him, there was really nothing he could do for the time being.

Upon seeing Julian's tense, straight back, Susan pursed her lips and said after a long time, "I trust you."

Julian's eyes lit up slowly.

He stood up and wrapped his arms around Susan. Then, he leaned close and whispered into her ear, "Susie, thank you."

Thank you for choosing to believe me.'

Susan hesitated for a moment before she returned Julian's hug gently.

When he sensed Susan's response, Julian's eyes filled with joy and he could not help holding her even tighter.

They stood there and hugged each other in silence.

The room was very quiet, and their hearts were tranquil.

Susan lowered her gaze as she was struck by mixed feelings.

In her determined effort to separate from Julian for the past few months, she had felt as if her soul had been split into two.

Half of it had remained in her body and bustled about unstoppably in an instinctive manner.

The other half had floated in the sky aimlessly, unable to replace a spot to land.

The two halves of her soul fused once again when she was hugged by Julian.

It turned out that Julian was already a part of her soul that could not be stripped away from her.

The soft moonlight illuminated the side of Susan's face. Julian stared at her quietly with a gentle gaze.

He lowered his head in an attempt to kiss Susan's lips.

However, Susan suddenly struggled free from the enchanting ambiance. She stretched out a hand and covered her mouth.

Julian's kiss landed on her hand.

"Susie." Julian immediately looked at her with an aggrieved expression.

Susan felt like laughing but suppressed the urge by force.

She looked at Julian with a serious expression. "Get out. I'm going to bed."

"What a coincidence, I'm going to bed too," said Julian shamelessly. "I can see that the beds in this hotel are rather huge."

Susan was furious yet amused. She could not help shoving Julian strenuously out of the room. "Don't push your luck. You provoked Willa out of nowhere, so you better reflect on your actions for a few days." Susan shoved Julian out of the room and then closed the door right away.

The door had been shut in Julian's face once again.

He rubbed his nose and cracked a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Seth Leeds sent over a Wechat message coincidentally to inquire about work-related matters.

Julian made some arrangements casually.

When all the official matters were settled, Seth began gossiping. 'Mr. Shaw, have you taken care of the issue with your wife today? Forget it, I better not inquire further.

You couldn't do it for sure.'

As Seth was speaking, he cracked a maniacal smile.

During this period, he had been bored to death by Jacob Shelby's love life. Jacob had been constantly showing off his relationship. Seth had suffered because of Jacob and wanted to vent on Julian. This was known as the single man's revenge!

Julian understood Seth's way of thinking. He raised a brow and said straightforwardly, 'Thanks for your concern, the misunderstanding between me and Susie has already been resolved. I'll be bringing her back to the country. Oh right, please help us prepare a private jet. The earlier, the better."

"Oh? The misunderstanding has been resolved?" Seth's murderous voice was immediately heard through the voice message. "Can you not come back then?"

If Julian and Susan had resolved the misunderstanding between them and were back together, would he not have to endure even more displays of affection as a single man?

Why were these people so cruel? Were they not afraid that he would not be able to take : t anymore?

"Alright, stop being sarcastic. I know that you're waiting for our return eagerly. Make arrangements for the private jet, quick.

That's all, I'm going to hang up now." Julian hung up calmly.

Seth was speechless.

He swore to god that he was definitely not being sarcastic.

"Oh oh oh oh, life is hard." It was day time : n Canada now, and Seth's sorrowful howl echoed throughout the entire office.

After tormenting Seth calmly, Julian put away his phone with deep concern seeping

through his eyes.

According to Susie, there had to be something wrong with that woman Willa.

If there was something wrong with her, then was the medication given by her still safe to consume?
