The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 155

Isabelle’s eyes sparkled with merriment. She suppressed her exhilaration and asked with great concern, "So now what? Should I keep waiting?”

Truth be told, Susan was disappointed. She had no idea whether Little Leaf forgot about their promise or i f he had already forgotten about her.

Sighing, she then replied, "I think you can come back now. Thank you, Isa."

"Don't mention it, Susie. This is nothing. Besides, you wouldn’t have been involved in an accident if you hadn't come to get me," Isabelle said softly. "But he didn't show up, and I didn't help you anything..."

"It's okay. You’ve already done your best. I'm the one who took it too seriously," Susan said. "After all, we were still kids at that time. Besides, it's something more than 20 years ago, so I think it's normal for him not to come."

"It's good that you understand, Susie. Anyway, I'm coming back now," Isabelle said. Then, she hung up the call.

"Ahhh!" Susan shouted disappointingly.

'Little Leaf, you b*st*rd. How can you forget about our promise?’

However, after giving it a second thought, Susan felt it was reasonable. Little Leaf came from a reputable family. To him, Lin County was just a slum and she was merely one of his childhood friends.

He should have a wider world and he should've met a lot more people after leaving Lin County. He would not remember a twenty-year-old promise and there was a probability that he had totally forgotten about her.

The thought made Susan feel even more sad and depressed. She punched the bed exasperatedly and hissed inwardly, 'Hmph, well then, since Little Leaf has already forgotten me, I suppose I don't need to keep him in my heart anymore.'

After a few hours, Susan's phone rang.

"Where are you, Susie? I’m home now but I don't see you." Julian's voice wafted over from the other side of the line.

Susan blinked her eyes. "Aren’t you on a business trip? How did you come back so soon?"

"Yeah. It's done, so I came back," Julian answered. The tenderness in his eyes softened his hard jawlines, and he had an inexorable urge to see Susan right now.

"I'm on my way back," Susan hastily added.

She did not let Julian know that she was in the hospital as it was just a small accident and she was fine now. Besides, she did not want to make him worried.

After she hung up the call, she then summoned the doctor and told him to discharge her from the hospital. Before this, her head was still swimming, but now the dizzy spells were gone.

"Doctor, can I be discharged from the hospital now?” she asked the doctor.

"Well, we didn't detect any complications as of the moment," the doctor said. "So, yeah, you may go home. But you must keep an eye on your own condition and come back to us if you experience any discomfort."

"Okay," Susan assented.

After going through all the discharge formalities, she then left the hospital.

She had the people from the Four Square Center tow her car away. Even though her vehicle did not suffer any damages from the crash, she needed to reinstall a new airbag. As such, she had to flag down a cab to go home.

"Woah!” The moment she stepped into the house, Julian pulled into a tight embrace, holding her in between his arms so tight as if he was holding the entire world.

Susan was thrown in for a loop by Julian's sudden affection. It took her for a long while to come around. She moved her arms around Julian, caressing his back softly as she asked, "What's wrong, Julian?"

Julian did not reply. He just lowered his head and planted a deep, lingering kiss on her lips.

The kiss was deep and exciting. Susan was clueless about what had gotten into Julian that made him so excited. She could feel her knees going weak as she gradually slumped into his arms.
