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

Chapter 567 Unknown Caller ID

The next morning.

It was Saturday, and the kids did not have to attend school.

Early in the morning, Chessie ran into Susan's room and stayed by Susan's side.

"What happened?" Susan could not help but ask.

Chesney looked up at Susan, and a trace of worry could be seen in her innocent eyes." Mommy, you... Are you going to find Chessie a stepdaddy?"

Susan was taken aback for a second, then asked amusedly, "There's no such thing. Why the sudden thought?"

Chesney pouted her lips. "I accidentally overheard from the servants at home. They said that Daddy found himself another woman, so Mommy should've gotten herself another man a long time ago."

Susan was left speechless at that moment.

Julius had only sent her home!

Unexpectedly, the servants would gossip up until this point.

Susan squatted down immediately and looked directly into Chesney's eyes in a solemn manner. "Chessie, you're the most important person to Mommy. If Mommy has to make any decision, Mommy will definitely tell you. So if Mommy didn't tell you anything, no matter what others say, don't worry about it."

"Really?" Chesney felt a little relieved.

"Yes.” Susan nodded affirmatively.

Having heard that, Chesney was completely relieved, and after a while, she could not help but ask hesitantly, "Mommy ... Daddy found himself another woman. What does that mean?"

Susan was stunned for a moment, and for a while, she did not have an answer to that question.

She could not help but nibble her lower lip.

Over the years, she did not know how to explain the matter between her and Julian to Chessie. She only gave the little girl some vague remarks all the time.

But now...

Susan felt that she could not keep the secret anymore.

Julian was about to have another child already, and this matter could be kept from Chessie for a while, but could it be kept from her for a lifetime? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"Mommy, why aren't you talking?" Chessie glanced at Susan, and a hint of anxiety flashed through Chessie’s eyes.

Susan took a deep breath and explained slowly, "Chessie, there are many relationships in this world, there's kinship, there’s love, and there’s friendship. Kinship is bound by blood, it's a relationship that comes with you from the moment you were born, and one can’t break away from such a relationship. For example, Chessie is Daddy and Mommy's child, and Daddy and Mommy will always love you."

Susan tried to reduce the damage that could be done to Chessie by tactfully choosing her words.

Chessie gazed at Susan ignorantly. "Then... what about love and friendship?" "Both love and friendship are relationships established by two strangers due to various reasons. Does Chessie have many good friends in kindergarten?"

"Yeah." Chesney nodded.

"Now you see, when you went to kindergarten in Jerucity, you had many good friends, but after coming back to Skyking City, those friends that you made in Jerucity, how many of them have you not contacted anymore?”

Chesney nodded again.

Susan rubbed her hair softly. "So, we all will have different friends at each stage of our lives, and there are very few who can accompany us forever. The bond of friendship is, most of the time, not as deep and strong as kinship.”

Chesney seemed to have understood some parts of it. "Then Mommy, what about love?"

"Love..." Susan said gently, "Love is the attraction between two strange souls. If the love between two people is strong enough, they will form a family and have cute kids. Just like Mommy, Daddy, and Chessie.

Because of love, Mommy and Daddy came together, and because of that, Chessie was born."

Chessie listened very attentively, Susan organized her words before continuing, “ However, love is a relationship that will disappear. If the two souls are no longer attracted to each other, then continuing life together becomes torture. Mommy and Daddy came together because of love, but if there's a time when we don't love each other anymore, it's only natural for us to separate from each other.”

So, Daddy and Mommy don’t love each other anymore?" Chesney's eyes widened.

"Yes." Susan said frankly, "So Mommy and Daddy have decided to separate. Chessie, Mommy hopes that you'll understand that being together because of love and parting because of love are

two very natural processes. Daddy and Mommy will each handle the affair well. But Chessie, you'll always be Daddy and Mommy's favorite child. This will never change.”

Chesney became silent.

Susan looked at Chessie worriedly, wondering how the kid would react.

“Mommy... Both of you, will always love me, right?" Chesney raised her head and stared at Susan.

"Of course." Susan hugged her tightly.

But deep down, her heart skipped a beat from all the melancholy.

She promised that she would give Chessie all the love that she could give.

But Julian... Would he still love Chessie after he has another child?

Would Chessie be sad after knowing that she was going to have a younger brother?

These were things Chessie would have to face sooner or later.

But at this moment, Susan still did not want Chessie to face the cruelty. She opted to tell Chessie the stories between her and Julian in a calm way and conceal all the love and hatred from her.

She hoped that Chessie would be able to lead a peaceful and joyful life, without any trace of hatred and pain in her heart.

She did not expect Julian to treat Chessie like a princess in the future-she only hoped that he would show Chessie some warmth and gentleness, even if he had to fake it.

Susan tightened her embrace as she thought of that.

When she was in Susan's arms, Chesney had experienced for the first time in her little heart, what it meant to be at a loss.

'So, Mommy and Daddy will really separate from each other this time?

'They also will not reconcile like last time already?’

Chessie was at a loss, but she was a good girl. She felt that Susan was feeling downcast at the moment too, so she tried to pretend not to care.

She could do it.

Susan did not tell anybody about Willa’s pregnancy, and Julian did not spread the news either, it was still in a state of confidentiality at this moment.

But Susan knew that it could not be kept for long. When the news spread, the family would start to worry about her again.

So, she chose to conceal the matter for as long as possible, each extra day was considered a bonus to her.

Today, Susan got a call from an unknown caller ID.

Susan thought that it was some random telemarketing phone call, so she hung up the call directly.

After some time, she received a notification on her Facebook. Somebody had sent her a friend request.

Susan was about to reject the request, but when she took a good look at the profile

picture, she reacted to it instantly.

She approved the friend request, then asked tentatively, "Julius Jenner?”

"Yeah, it's me." Julius replied, "You didn't pick up my call, so I could only contact you here."

"I’m so sorry. You can call now since I know now." Susan rushed her reply.

The phone rang again. It was that same unknown caller ID, and Susan picked up the call instantly this time.

"Ms. Shelby, it’s not easy to contact you." There seemed to be a hint of amusement in Julius's voice.

Susan was embarrassed. She then said, "I have been harassed by too many telemarketing calls, so I seldom answer calls from strangers."
