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

Chapter 45 Take Good Care Of Ourselves

"I want to know if you ever loved me when we were together. I want to know if you took $100,000 from my mother when I was in a coma after the accident?" Luke was nervous from Susan’s gaze, but he still continued asking because he needed to know the truth.

Susan suddenly smiled, "Luke Jenkins, are you still asking stupid questions like these now? Love? If you're not the heir to the Jenkins Corporation, why would I want to be with you? We're all adults, so don't put so much hope on love. As for the $100,000, yes. When you were unconscious, I asked your mother for i t. Since you wanted to dump me, I needed some compensation for the times we had, so $100,000 isn't expensive at all.”

Since Madam Jenkins allowed Luke to look for her, she would have expected Susan to know how to answer. Therefore, she could only give him that answer especially because she did take the $100,000 and promised Madam Jenkins that she would never reveal the past to him.

Since she and Luke were destined to be fateless, she did not have to look for any trouble. She had to completely banish Luke’s hopes.

Luke had prepared himself for that but when he heard those words left Susan's lips, his pupils constricted!

"Susan Shelby, you are lying to me!" Luke’s voice trembled. The voice at the bottom of his heart told him that this was not the truth.

However, in reality, she said coldly, "Luke, this is the truth. You aren't young anymore. Just accept that this world is brutal."

"I don't believe it!" He gritted his teeth. "You're lying to me. All of you are lying to me."

Susan's heart ached a little at the sight of his reaction. 'Luke, you shouldn't have to look for any truth from the beginning. You have already missed what you missed, so you should embrace the future.'

Her voice grew harsher. "No, we didn’t lie to you.

You’re lying to yourself.”

"Susan Shelby!" He suddenly grabbed Susan's arm and looked at her in despair. "Tell me that you're not like that. Tell me!"

"Will you believe me if I told you?" Susan looked up at him.

He nodded then said with conviction, "As long as you say it, I’ll believe you." Although he did not have his past memories, there was a fatal attraction from this woman. As long as Susan denied, he would believe her. Even if Susan lied, he was willing to sacrifice it.

"Tell me that all of these are lies." Luke's eyes looked like they were begging her desperately.

Susan's heart trembled, but she still said coldly, "But the thing is, everything your mother said is true. I, Susan Shelby, am a greedy and cruel woman."

"Susan!" Luke grabbed her arm even tighter. "I don't...I don't believe you! I don't believe everything you said." Because he was too emotional, his grip became tighter and made Susan frown.

"Young Master Jenkins, how long are you planning to hold onto my wife?" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

Julian walked over with a blank face.

Luke was slightly taken aback and Susan freed herself from his grip.

Then, she walked to Julian. She held his arm and looked at Luke sarcastically. "Luke Jenkins, I advise you to stop bothering me. Julian can give me much more than you. I’ve been with you for 2 years and all I got was $100,000. With Julian, as long as I say I want money, I can have $100,000 over and over again! If you still have some dignity left within you, please stop bothering me!"

Julian squinted at her because he could feel that her hands were trembling. This woman was nervous.

However, he did not say anything. Instead, he followed through and held onto her waist. "My dear, it turns out that your ex-boyfriend is so stingy. Did he only give you $100,000 in 2 years? That's so stingy. Oh yeah, have you used up the $10 million limit on the credit card I gave you previously? I'll top it up if you've finished using it."

"Thank you, my dear." Susan looked at him and smiled sweetly. Then, she turned and looked coldly at the beaten-down Luke. "I beg you to stop disturbing m y life. I'm doing very well now and I wish that you'll have a good life too. Isn’t it good that we are taking good care of ourselves?"

Shuddering, Luke almost fell as he stared at Susan." Are you with Julian because he has more money than me?"

"Otherwise?" She looked annoyed.

Luke stared at her for a long while, then a miserable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he finally said, "I understand."

He turned around and left, swaying as though he was about to collapse.

Susan's feet almost left the ground a few times because she wanted to help him. However, she bit her lower lip and held herself back. 'Luke, just treat me as a cruel woman. This is for our own good. Madam Jenkins would've wanted to see this happen.'

Luke has no idea how he got home where Madam Jenkins was waiting for him nervously.

She quickly smiled when she saw him. "Son, have you verified it with that woman? What did she say?"

Luke looked at her with a vacant gaze.

Madam Jenkins's heart involuntarily dropped. The life in Luke seemed to have left him.

'Even without his memory, can't he forget about that woman? Or was it my mistake to separate them? No, I'm not wrong! A woman like Susan Shelby doesn't deserve Luke. My son deserves better and Mandy Ainsley is his match.'

After cementing her beliefs, Madam Jenkins smiled and was about to ask something else, but Luke opened his mouth to say, "The wedding will go on as planned."

He went upstairs without any expression after that.

'The wedding will go on as planned?' Madam Jenkins could not hide her glee.

She had been worried that Susan would break the promise and expose everything, but that woman was unexpectedly obedient. If she could be cut off from Luke’s life complete, then the $100,000 was worth it. When she thought about how the wedding would be held as planned, the rock was lifted off her chest and her smile grew wider.

Luke locked himself in the room and looked into the distance numbly. As long as Susan said it, even if it went against the world, he would cancel the wedding. However, that did not happen. 1

Susan did not even say a word to make him stay. She could not wait to get rid of him.

This woman was so cruel to him. Even if she was such a greedy and cruel woman, could she not pretend to be gentle and lie to him? Alas, in the end, she was not even willing to lie to him. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

‘Luke Jenkins, why would you still hold on to a woman like this? Mandy is gentle and loves you deeply. How is she not better than Susan? So be it. As she wishes, from now on, we shall take good care of ourselves."
