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

Chapter 494 A Way To Deal With The Situation

It was as if Julian Shaw had already predicted this. He frowned ever so slightly and then asked, "Have you consented?"

Susan Shelby took a glance at Julian before she said nonchalantly, “Don't worry.

Mandy wants Lucas to take the last name Shaw because she doesn't want the others t o find out about his true identity. If we were to get a divorce in the future or any unexpected changes occurred, I'd have him take my last name, Shelby or Wright. I believe that Mandy won’t object."

Julian heaved a sigh. “Susie, you know that's not what I meant."

Susan pursed her lips and refused to speak anymore.

There was nothing Julian could do about Susan’s unyielding behavior. Thus, he could only say, "Even though we sympathize with Mandy's situation, her begging you to do this is obviously immoral. She is on the verge of death, yet she is still plotting against you. I have my reservations about this woman.”

"How could I be unaware of what you just told me?" Susan looked at Julian. "Mandy i s forcing me to do this on purpose. Just judging by her motive, this is truly selfish o f her. However, I've examined my conscience and decided that, as a mother, i f I was in her position, I would also spare n o effort to make a future for my child. She i s nothing but a mother caring for her child, and I can understand her motive."

Julian still disapproved. "If Lucas is a good child, adopting him will be fine. However, have you considered how much trouble he will cause the family if he is dishonorable?"

Susan was infuriated. "How can such a young child be dishonorable? I can see that he is a rather good child. His behavior in the future will depend on his upbringing, right? I told you, regardless of

whether you are willing or not, I will carry out the task that I promised to take on."

Given Susan’s angry appearance, Julian would have already yielded to her for sure i f this had involved any other matter.

However, Julian felt jealous as soon as he thought about Lucas Jenkins, who was Luke Jenkins' child.

He said unscrupulously, "I can see that you insist on adopting Lucas. It’s because he is Luke's child, right? If you can't be with Luke, adopting his child will do, right?”

As soon as those words were spoken. Julian regretted them. However, he was fueled by jealousy as soon as he thought about Luke, who used to date Susan, and he refused to acknowledge his mistake.

He pursed his lips and froze on the spot!

"Julian Shaw!" Susan looked at him incredulously. "Is this what you think of m e? So, after all these years, you're still constantly thinking about the relationship Luke and I had in the past? You think of me as this promiscuous woman who is with you while missing Luke at the same time?"

Susan's expression was rather agitated.

This time, even Julian was alarmed. "Susie, I didn't mean that. I was only jealous for a moment..." "I think you've always had this idea. You just managed to tell the truth this time." Susan looked at Julian. "I have devoted all my love in vain for the past few years. Go back to your Willa.”

Susan turned around and entered the room furiously.

Julian wanted to go after her, but Susan had already closed the door strenuously.

He had lost count of how many times the door had been shut in his face.

Julian could not help slapping his forehead.

Why was he so bitter? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Susie had yet to forgive him for the previous incident, yet he had offended her again.

Could he still get back together with Susie i n this lifetime?

"Susie, it was my bad. It’s true that I was talking nonsense earlier." Julian could only stand outside the door and apologize profusely.

Susan covered her head to block out his voice, yet Julian still spoke incessantly.

Susan could only stand up and open the door. "Julian, are you done? Are you going t o let me go to bed..."

Before Susan's voice could die away, she suddenly found herself in a passionate embrace.

"What are you doing?" Susan gasped in surprise subconsciously.

Julian cast all caution to the wind and hugged Susan tightly.

"Let go of me." Susan struggled with all her might.

"Listen to me, Susie!" Julian hugged her even tighter. "It was my fault for saying those things earlier. I was only... being a little jealous. I'm still a person after all. I'm not magnanimous enough to take in my love rival’s child on the spot.”

The intensity of Susan's struggle was reduced a little. After a long while, she grunted once.

"However, since you've already made this decision, I shall naturally support you.

Susie, bringing up a child is not as simple a s just feeding and dressing him. Since you've already decided to take on this responsibility, I will certainly do it with you," said Julian in a gentle voice.

Susan pursed her lips. "I don't need you to d o it with me. You can go ahead and look for your Willa."

Julian was at a loss. He had no idea whether he should cry or laugh upon seeing Susan's stubbornness.

"Susie, there's nothing between me and Willa." Julian’s gaze shifted as he suddenly remembered something. "If you don’t believe me, you can ask dad! He knew about Mila’s real identity too. However, it was not easy to explain her identity, so we could only hide the truth from you.”

"My dad?" This time, Susan was astonished.

"It’s true, it’s true. I shall give him a call now so you can ask him." Julian had figured out a way to deal with the situation, so he was excited beyond comparison. He called George Wright on the spot and then pressed the phone to Susan's ear.

George knew that Susan had been infected with the Errol Virus. When Willa Doyle had been at the Wrights, Julian had told George about Mila’s identity. As a result, George was an insider!

Susie refused to believe him now, but she would believe her biological father.

Susan took a glance at Julian in suspicion and then took the phone.

Her father would certainly stand with her regardless. She refused to believe that her father would lie to her for Julian.

The call was picked up. Julian had it on speakerphone, so he could hear everything

George's sturdy voice was heard. "Julian?’

"It's me, dad," said Susan.

"Susie?" George chuckled. "Why are you calling me from Julian's phone? Have you reconciled with him?"

"Not for the time being, but I think that there’s hope," said Julian with an anxious expression. "Dad, I need your help to verify something. Susie thinks that I've been spending too much time with Wills and suspects that there's something off about our relationship. Dad, you know about Willa's true identity. Can you please help verify it for me?”

"Julian and Wills?" George came to a realization at once. "Susie, you've truly misunderstood the situation. There’s nothing between him and Wills."

Susan clenched her teeth. "But Julian lied t o me and said that Wills was his high school classmate, dad... If you know her real identity, can you please tell me who she is?"

George let out a cough at once. How could h e possibly tell the truth about the Errol Virus incident that he and Julian had been hiding from her painstakingly?

“Susie, Willa’s identity is top secret. Julian i s hiding it from you because he has no other choice. Even if you were to ask me, I couldn't tell you either," said George ambiguously.

Top secret?

When George mentioned these words, he managed to convince Susan.

Could Willa's identity be related to national security?

Was that why Julian could not tell her?
