"Huh?” Susan Shelby's gaze drifted beyond her control. "I find that it’s rather nice now..."
Julian Shaw had some self-restraint in the presence o f Seth Leeds and Susan’s brother. If they were to move back to their place, Susan simply could not have the courage to imagine how indecent Julian would be at home. 1
"So you really don't want to move back?" Julian raised an eyebrow.
"No!" said Susan resolutely.
"Alright," answered Julian as he looked at her with a peculiar glint glistening in his eyes.
Susan sat at the dining table and felt her legs shaking!
The b*st*rd man had simply gone mad last night. 2
Had it not been her strong willpower, she really wished that she could lie on the bed until the earth got old instead of getting up this morning.
"Susie, I purposely had someone deliver your favorite soup dumpling," said Julian smilingly while he was seated next to Susan.
Susan rolled her eyes. She did not have any intention t 0 put up a nice front for him.
"So you really don’t want to have any?" Julian smiled and tore a small opening on the dumpling before he slurped the soup joyously.
There was a slight change in Susan's gaze.
Even though she still looked like she was in a bad mood, her gaze was fixated on the soup dumpling.
Julian was amused by that but he did not point it out.
He gulped down a soup dumpling carefreely and extended his chopsticks to pick up another one.
This time, Susan seized the soup dumpling at lightning speed before he could pick it up.
She began slurping the soup without a care for her image while she glared at Julian resentfully. "You just wait and see. I will eat so much that I'll put you in poverty.”
Julian grabbed his genuine silk handkerchief in a calm and composed manner to dry the soup that tainted the corner of his lips. Then, he said nonchalantly, "My dear, have you forgotten that my money is all in your name? I’m the one who will eat so much that I'll put you in poverty."
"Oh, right." Susan was stunned for a moment, then she smacked the table. "Julian Shaw, you're a honey man."
Her feisty behavior made him want to tease her, really.
Julian squinted and suddenly leaned forward before h e lowered his voice to speak, "Susie, I see that you're rather energetic. Is it because... I didn't work hard enough last night?"
'Haven’t worked hard enough?’
Susan's gaze changed drastically at once. She was already in such a state, so if he were to work even harder, what would she be like then?!
Susan's rage shriveled at once upon seeing Julian's spurious smile.
She looked at Julian piteously. "It was enough, it was enough."
Julian suppressed the urge to laugh aloud and gave her a soft smooch on her forehead. "Good girl."
"Hey hey hey hey, stop showing off your love early in the morning." Seth was immediately irritated by the scene as soon as he walked outside yawning.
Jacob Shelby came out as well.
He took a glance at Susan and his gaze suddenly turned solemn.
He walked over with a few swift steps then glared at Julian furiously. "Have you been bullying Susie?"
"Hmm?" Julian raised an eyebrow.
"Jacob, what's going on?" Susan was at a loss as well.
"Susie, don't speak for him anymore! Look at how badly he has bitten your neck!" said Jacob furiously.
Julian:"..."
Seth:
Seth made his way to Jacob and pulled him over to the side. "Hey, what do you know as a single man?
How is that considered bullying? That is the love of a married couple!”
"Love?” Jacob refused to believe it. "It’s all green and purple. I can tell that it's very painful at one glance. Julian must have been bullying Susie."
As he was speaking, he looked toward Susan. "Susan, d o you agree? Don’t worry, I'm here. I will protect you even if I have to fight Julian."
Susan could not help casting a furious yet embarrassed glance at Julian.
