The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 100

"What's wrong?" Susan was shocked.

Jacob looked at Seth with disgust. Then, he too picked up a small piece of cake.

As soon as he bit into the cake, his usually calm expression changed...

This taste was...

"Water, water, water!" Seth yelled. He desperately searched the room for some water to drink.

Jacob, on the other hand, had his eyes closed and swallowed the cake with ease.

"What's going on?" Susan was surprised and reached out to grab a piece of the cake.

"Don't eat it." Jacob immediately stopped her.

"Is it bad?" Susan asked.

"It's alright." Jacob hesitated before he continued, "It's just that... you might’ve mistaken the salt for sugar. Also, the amount that you put in. It's too much."

Susan was speechless.

To think that she put in salt instead of sugar. It must taste horrible!

She couldn't believe her brother had actually swallowed it whole.

"I’m so sorry, brother. Here, have some water." Susan hurriedly poured a glass of water.

"Huff, huff, huff, huff." Seth had already gulped down several cups of water, which relieved the terrible salt taste in his mouth.

He looked at Susan with a horrified look on his face and wailed, "Susan, were you planning to kill me?"

This was definitely a traumatic experience for him, and he would probably think twice before eating another cake in the future!

"Sorry." Susan was a little embarrassed. "My mind was preoccupied with a few things, and I probably wasn't paying attention."

Seth perked up his ears and asked, "What kinds of things?"

Susan hesitated before she proceeded to ask, "What does it mean if a man gives all of his assets to a woman?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Seth rolled his eyes. "This man must love this woman to death."

"No way." Susan subconsciously denied it.

"Why is it impossible?" Seth asked, looking at Susan with a gossipy expression. "Susan, did Julian give you all of his assets?"

Susan blushed. She didn't nod or shake her head, which was kind of a tacit acknowledgment.

Seth's eyes flashed brightly. "Susan, you've turned rich overnight! Please treat us to good food and take good care of us in the future."

"I... " Susan pursed her lips and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. "But I'm not sure what he really means by that."

"My dear Susan, a man has just given you all his assets. Don’t you know what that means?" Seth was beyond speechless.

"But you also know very well that there's someone else living in his heart, and that person is not me." There was a hint of sourness in Susan's tone.

Seth scratched his head and said, "Honestly, I've had many girlfriends, and they’ve all been casual relationships, nothing complicated. If things don’t work out, we just go our separate ways. I don't understand these complicated feelings that you guys are tangled up in. But I definitely know one thing for sure. Life is short, and the most important thing is to cherish the person in front of you. In Julian's heart, I’ve no doubt there was once another person, but the person he likes now is you, Susan. So, don't dwell on it."

"Does he... really like me?" Susan pursed her lips, and a hint of uncertainty flashed across her eyes. 2
