The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 157

Susan raised her brow, and she was once again overwhelmed by disappointment and sadness when she thought about her childhood friend. She had been waiting this day for 20 years, yet Little Leaf did not show up in the end.

However, the reality was she did not go there either. The reason she knew about it was due to Isabelle. If she wanted to explain the entire situation to Julian, then she had to tell him about the accident.

She did not want to make him worried, so she just said poutingly, "Well, I just don't feel like meeting him anymore. After all, he’s nobody to me."

‘He's just a nobody?'

Julian suddenly narrowed his eyes. However, he was assaulted by a pang of guilt when he thought about his indifferent attitude toward Susan when they were kids. As such, he cleared his throat and said, "Yeah, he’s nobody. It's fine if you don't want to meet him. After all, you have me."

"Stop being a narcissist," Susan rolled her eyes at Julian. Then, she continued, "But I’m not lying to you. He's really gorgeous, so I'm certain that he's more handsome than you."

"Yeah, yeah, I believe you," Julian nodded profusely.

"You..." Just when Susan was about to say something,

Julian's phone rang.

He grabbed his phone and took a look.

[Little Leaf, I'm home. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. * Smiley*]

It was from Isabelle.

Julian frowned. Since Isabelle still called him Little Leaf, it was apparent that she did not take anything h e said to heart at all. His first reaction was to turn around and look at Susan.

"Why are you looking at me? Who is that? Hurry up and reply to him," Susan said as she was baffled by Julian's action.

Julian deleted the message and set the phone on mute. After that, he put the phone away and looked at Susan, “Susie, did Isabelle ask you for my contact number?"

There was no way Isabelle could get her hands on his contact number. Judging from the fact that she sent him a message, she must have gotten his phone number somewhere else, and the first person who came into his mind was Susan.

"No, I don't remember her asking me about your contact number," Susan was puzzled. "Why would you ask me that?"

"Then, did she see your phone before? Or can you remember any specific occasion where you left your phone in her hand alone?" Julian pressed on.

Susan blinked her eyes.

If there was such an occasion, then it should be after the accident. When she was transported by the gurney, she left her purse in Isabelle’s hand. If Isabelle really had the intention of getting Julian's phone number, she could've just looked at her phone at that time. 4

"Why would you asking me this, Julian?” Susan asked as she still had a hard time wrapping her head around what was happening.

"Nothing. Anyway, don't get too close to Isabelle, Susie," Julian said.

There was a strange feeling in the depth of his heart which he could not make heads or tails of. He deeply cherished the good memory between him and Little Flower, and he had a strong animosity towards Isabelle from the moment he knew about her. Now that she had become Little Flower, he kind of felt like his memory was ruined.

Susan blinked her eyes again. Then, understanding suddenly dawned upon her as she found the explanation to Julian's strange behavior. She asked, " Was it Isa who texted you?"

"Yes," Julian rubbed her head as a dark glint crossed his eyes.

He was certain that Isabelle got his contact number before she departed to Lin County. When he made the connection between how she secretly got his contact number and her previous action, it occurred to him that she was trying to hit on him.

At that time, she still did not know that he was Little Leaf. As such, everything she told him, including that she had been waiting for him for twenty years, were all lies.
