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

Chapter 510 Where Did Mommy Go

"That person was from the Dark Night Agency?" Susan Shelby was rather astonished.

"Julian hasn’t told you yet, right?" said Luke Jenkins. "I believe that he did not because he was afraid you would worry too much. However, I believe that you should know this."

Susan nodded, feeling even more curious in her heart. "But... why did the person from the Dark Night Agency want to deal with me?"

The so-called Dark Night Agency had suffered a huge loss due to Luke once in the past. It was fully understandable why they'd wanted to deal with Luke.

However, why had that person actually pointed his gun at Susan at the final moment?

Had he mistaken her for someone else?

That was impossible.

A powerful assassin sent from a terrifying agency like this would not make such a lowly mistake.

In other words, someone in the Dark Night Agency hated her more than Luke.

Susan frowned and pondered this. Something just did not add up.

"I don't have many details on this matter either. All in all, you need to be careful, Susie. However, you have the Shaws and the Wrights with you, so they'll keep you protected anyhow,” said Luke softly. "As for me . I'm afraid that I won't be of much help."

Luke's voice sounded dejected. Susan pursed her lips but did not speak.

Mandy Ainsley had been in love with Luke, yet Luke loved her instead.

At that very moment, Susan felt incriminated for some unknown reason.

"Susie, I'm leaving,” Luke suddenly said after they sat there for a while. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Leaving? Where are you doing?" Susan could not help asking.

Luke smiled. "I'm going to travel around. I still have some savings and I figured that I wouldn't be able to spend it all in my lifetime. I haven’t been enjoying life over the years. Therefore, I want to travel around and enjoy the view."

"That’s great." Susan nodded. "However, the people from the Dark Night Agency will certainly still resent you, so do take precautions.”

"I will.” Luke hesitated for a moment before he said, "Susie, did you turn Mandy's ashes into a diamond?”

"Yes,” Susan admitted right away.

"Can you please...” It felt as if Luke was conflicted, yet he still said, "Can you please give me the diamond for safekeeping?"

Susan took a glance at Luke.

Had it not been for Lucas Jenkins, she would have consented to Luke's request.

However, she could not now.

Lucas deserved to keep the only consolation that Mandy had left in this world more than Luke.

"I'm sorry, but I want to keep it as memorabilia myself.” Susan rejected him on the spot in a straightforward manner. "Alright then.” Luke did not insist. He shot a deep glance at Susan in the end before saying, "Goodbye, Susie."

"Goodbye,” said Susan softly.

Upon exiting the cafe, Luke left just like that.

He had bidden her farewell with just a goodbye. Susan did not know that the next time they met would be after a very, very long time.

Julian Shaw was already waiting at the door.

He looked at Susan and did not inquire further. He just took Susan's hand naturally.

It was early spring now, so the weather was still slightly cold. Julian rubbed Susan's hand to keep her warm casually.

Upon seeing his serious look, Susan could not help asking, "Julian, aren't you going to ask me what Luke and I talked about?"

"What did you talk about?” asked Julian hastily.

Julian could not help rolling her eyes. "Can you at least pretend that you don't care?"

Julian was immediately distressed. "I've been constantly pretending. It was you who prompted me to ask...”

Susan was rendered speechless for a while before she said softly, "He wanted the diamond with Mandy's ashes."

“Did you give it to him?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"No, this is for Luca," said Susan softly. " After I rejected him, Luke said that he was going to travel around the world. I'm afraid any chance of us meeting each other from now on will be very small."

"This is a really good thing." Julian was simply elated upon hearing that.

Luke had always been a time bomb. Of course, it was better to stay as far away as possible from a love rival.

"Your delight is a little too exaggerated...” Susan could not refrain from saying.

"Is it?" Julian raised an eyebrow and expressed his refusal to acknowledge this fact.

They walked hand in hand and got into the car slowly.

Meanwhile, Luke was hiding around the corner. The corners of his lips cracked into a bitter smile as he watched them being so close and intimate.

He had no idea what he was feeling now.

Mandy was dead. Mandy's sentiment had moved him as well.

However, that was all.

He was well aware that the person he really loved in the depths of his heart was Susan.

On one hand, he had made the decision to leave now to stop disturbing Susan. On the other hand, he felt guilty about Mandy as well...

If he were to stay in this city, he would not be able to suppress the thought of Mandy's gaze, which had been filled with anticipation before her death.

Skyking City... Or maybe Canada?

He would perhaps not be returning to this place anytime soon.

Luke heaved a sigh, then turned around and left this place completely.

At the Shaw Mansion, Susan stood at the door with a rather anxious expression.

Julian could not help patting her shoulder." Susie, don’t overthink. Mandy is dead already, so we will do our best to take care of Luca."

"Hmm," Susan answered. Then, she joined Julian inside.

Lucas and Chessie were making a puzzle together.

As soon as he saw Julian and Susan, Lucas placed down the puzzle piece in his hand and dashed toward the two of them right away.

Lucas looked behind them in anticipation yet did not see the familiar person he was looking for. Lucas' gaze dimmed ever so slightly.

He tugged at Susan's sleeve and asked eagerly, "Aunty, where is mommy? I thought mommy went out with you. Why isn't she home yet?"

Susan and Mandy had not returned home in three days. Lucas was really anxious, but Chessie had told him that grownups had their grownup things to do so they would only need to wait for their return obediently. Only then had Lucas been comforted.

Now, Susan was back, yet Mandy was nowhere to be seen. A feeling of uneasiness flashed past Lucas' heart abruptly.

Susan could not help feeling her heart clench in pain as she looked at the fearful Lucas.

She squatted down and stared straight into Lucas' eyes.

"Luca," Susan said softly. "Your mother is..."

Susan wanted to say something yet could not bring herself to say it.

"What's going on with mommy?” Lucas’ voice was now shaking.

Susan pursed her lips and said after a long time, "Your mommy has left."

It had been Mandy's request not to tell Lucas that she was dead and make it sound like she had abandoned him.

It was only by doing so that she could make Lucas hate her.

However, Susan could not bring herself to say that. She could only make up a lie and say that Mandy had left in an ambiguous manner.

"Left?" Lucas' tiny body shivered once.

Mandy had told him before that she would abandon him and leave.

When Susan said that Mandy had left now, Lucas thought that Mandy was traveling far away.

"Where did mommy go? I want to go with her too." Lucas tugged at Susan's sleeve tightly.
