The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 168

"Red is good. It's festive,” Julian replied.

Susan was soon tongue-tied.

Her red full dress appeared quite gorgeous and charming. But Julian commented that it was festive.

She could not help but think about the kinds of chubby babies who wore red clothes on the Christmas posters that she saw.

'Forget it! I'm not going to be annoyed with a man who knows nothing about romance.'

Susan complained about it secretly and got into the car.

Breeze Manor was now bustling with all kinds of activities. It was a rare scene.

There were a lot of luxurious cars, and they soon filled up around five or six parking lots in the manor.

The waiters and waitresses were as busy as bees.

There were around a hundred waiters and chefs in order to handle such a grand and big party.

As the host and the hostess, it was considered early for them when Julian and Susan reached the manor.

The party would begin at eight at night. They went to the venue at six in the evening.

Unexpectedly, there were a lot of guests who were much earlier than them.

The moment they appeared, the others soon smiled happily and greeted them.

"Mr. Shaw, this is the first time you're holding a party. Do you have anything important to announce to the others?” a middle-aged man smiled and asked Julian.

"Yes." Julian nodded seriously. "My wife-Susan, won the first price during the design competition last night.”

Julian said that proudly.

They burst into joyful laughter. "Congratulations, Mrs.

Shaw.” The others turned to look at Susan and congratulated her.

After that, they could not help but ask, "Is there anything else?”

"Anything else?" Julian frowned slightly. "Nothing else.”

The party was indeed held to celebrate Susie’s success.

"Mr. Shaw, you're not being cool about it. How could you conceal the truth from us up until now?" they claimed.

"Am I?" Julian said. "There's indeed nothing else."

The others still could not bring themselves to believe that.

Somebody laughed and said, "It’s fine, Mr. Shaw. You can keep it a secret still. We'll wait for it patiently."

What kind of secret was he keeping? Julian could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly. When he wanted t o explain himself, another group of guests came toward them. Then, a similar conversation was repeated.

"Julian, Susie." Madam Shaw led them away when she was free.

"Mom."

"Julian." Madam Shaw lowered her voice. "Tell me. What kind of important thing are you going to announce tonight?"

Julian was speechless when Madam Shaw asked him the very same question.

He was thinking of how to assure everybody about the truth, claiming that it was just a simple celebration party. Suddenly, Susan’s phone rang.

"Mom, I’ll go and answer a call." Susan smiled apologetically at Madam Shaw before she walked away.

“Susie, it’s me." Susan heard a gentle voice at the other end of the phone.

Susan was stunned. "Isa?"

She was extremely busy for that entire week. Isabelle called her several times to ask her out to have meals together, but she rejected her.

She was indeed busy. On the other hand, she listened t o Julian and stayed away from Isabelle.

"Susie, why didn't you tell me that you won the design competition? It's a very important thing." Isabelle sounded like she was wronged. "Do you really hate m e?"

Susan was having a dilemma when she heard Isabelle using that kind of tone while talking to her. She could not help but say, "No, it’s not a big deal. There's no need to mention it."

"Mr. Shaw held such a grand party for it. How could it be a small affair?" Isabelle used a pitiful voice to speak to her. "Susie, I thought that we were best friends. How could you not send me the invitation card for such a grand event?"
