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

Chapter 17 Family Dinner

That damned woman!

Julian gritted his teeth. 'Doesn’t she feel anything in m y absence?'

"Chairman Shaw, the private jet is ready and we can take off anytime." His personal assistant walked in.

Julian stood up. "Good!" Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Forget about it. He would deal with the woman when h e got home!

It was midnight when Julian reached home and Susan was already sound asleep.

Under the gentle moonlight, he stared at her beautiful sleeping face. The rage in him disappeared in an instant.

Julian sat at the bedside with mixed emotions. Then, h e gently touched her face.

'Susan, I only dare to look at you like this when you're asleep. After all these years, I'm afraid that you've forgotten about the young boy, but you’ve been in my heart and I could never forget you since then.

'You really think that our marriage is a coincidence, a n agreement, but you don't know that I planned it painstakingly. However, Susan, if you don't love me, all of this will forever be a secret.'

He then lay down beside Susan, watching her in her deep slumber and reaching his arm under her neck. Then, he pulled her into his embrace in satisfaction.

The next morning, Susan rubbed her eyes and opened them in a blur.

After that, she saw a handsome face in front of her eyes!

"Ah! Why...why are you here?" she asked in a panic.

"This is my house. Where would I be if not here?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"But...but you said you'd only be back today."

Julian snorted, "What if you were cheating on me? Of course, I have to keep an eye on you!"

Then...why am I in your arms?"

"That you’ve got to ask yourself. Why are you shamelessly in my embrace?" Julian raised his eyebrows. "I'm kind-hearted and even let you sleep on my arm the entire night. I never even made a sound about my sore arm, but you shrieked at me instead."

After saying that, he frowned and massaged his arm.

Susan looked at the red imprint on his arm and blushed. "R-really?"

"Otherwise?" He looked at her intensely.

“Sorry." Susan walked over in embarrassment. "I sleep like a dead log. If ever you end up in this situation

again, just wake me up.”

"We'll talk about it next time.” Julian swung his arm." Just that my arm..."

“Let me massage it for you.” She walked over and massaged his arm gently.

"Softer, harder. Forget it. Stop and get me a glass of water, or you can massage my shoulders," Julian instructed her about and suddenly felt that he was being clever about it.

Susan felt guilty and did not complain.

Finally, CEO Shaw himself became self-conscious. He waved his hand and dismissed her. "Okay, you're done. Remember to leave work an hour earlier today. We have a family dinner tonight."

“Sure." Susan felt her back stiffen after hearing about the family dinner. She was more afraid of Madam Shaw compared to Julian.

Every time when she thought about meeting Madam Shaw, she felt like smashing her head against a wall s o that she did not need to attend the function.

Anyhow, she could not avoid it forever. She would need to see her eventually.

She spent a day not being able to focus in the office. When it was almost time, Susan got up to leave. After leaving the office and walking for almost a kilometer, Susan saw Julian's black luxurious car.

All of Julian's cars were black in color though the

brands changed all the time. A few days ago, it was a Maybach and today it was a Lamborghini.

"Evil rich man," Susan mumbled as she got into the car.

At the Shaw Mansion.

Julian got out of the car first, then he presented his arm to Susan for her to naturally hook on to. Both of them walked in intimately.

Once they reached the entrance, he stopped in his tracks and slightly raised his eyebrows.

At that moment, besides the Shaw family, there was a n uninvited guest.

"Aunty, you have such radiant skin! This bracelet matches your complexion. I specifically brought this premium bird's nest from abroad. It’s definitely superior and you can't get it in this country,” Charlotte sat beside Madam Shaw as she spoke gently to her.

She had thought about it clearly. Julian's father died early and Madam Shaw had brought him up singlehandedly, so he was very close to her. As long as she pleased Madam Shaw, it would cement her chances of marrying Julian.

"Thank you, Charlotte.” Madam Shaw held her hands and said with a smile on her face, "Charlotte, since you're here, stay for dinner. Julian and Susan will be coming back too. We all can have dinner together."

Charlotte's eyes lit up. She had put a lot of effort to find out that although Madam Shaw lived alone, Julian would have a meal with her once every week. It had also taken her tremendous effort to determine the time so she could be there.

Now that Madam Shaw had taken the initiative to ask her to stay, she would definitely meet Julian!

'But what did Madam Shaw just say? Susan? Who is Susan?'

"Mom, this is a family dinner. Why would you want to ask an outsider to stay?" Julian's voice rang out.

Madam Shaw smiled. "Speak of the devil. Julian, don’t be rude to our guest.”

'Julian Shaw! He's here!' Charlotte trembled involuntarily due to overexcitement. She had not seen Julian for 3 years. She had changed so much over the last 3 years and had upgraded her skills just to get his attention.

'Julian, this time, I want you to be with me forever.'

She revealed a perfect smile and turned around slowly. "Ju-"

Suddenly, her expression froze. Julian was not alone.

Beside him stood a beautiful woman.

That woman seemed more and more familiar as she looked at her!

After a while, Charlotte shouted in surprise, "You’re that servant!"

Susan smiled in embarrassment. "Hi, Ms. Jenkins." "You!" Charlotte stood up immediately.

'What’s this? A servant attending a family dinner with Julian? No, it’s impossible.' The information from Cheryl Young must have been wrong. Charlotte's eyes had a flash of agitation.

"Servant? Charlotte? You know Susan?” Madam Shaw looked at Charlotte and said, "I think you're mistaken. This is my daughter-in-law, Susan Shelby."

'Madam Shaw's daughter-in-law, which means she is Julian's...wife!?'

Charlotte felt everything turn blur in front of her. 2

Julian already had a wife!

And his wife was the woman whom she thought was a servant!
