The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 170

Luke had rather complicated feelings.

He indeed wished that Susan could lead a happy life.

But he was filled with unspeakable feelings when he saw how deeply in love Julian and Susan were.

"Luke, it's almost over now. I think we can leave." Mandy could not help but say that.

Luke recovered his wits and said calmly, "Sure."

The party had come to an end. Both Julian and Susan were busy sending the guests off.

When Luke and Mandy were on their way out, Susan saw them and she was slightly surprised. Then, she smiled and said, "Mr. Jenkins, Mrs. Jenkins, goodbye. Have a safe trip home."

Luke fixed his eyes on her. Her eyes were clear and calm without any other emotions.

It seemed like Susie had indeed...let go of the past and him now.

Mandy nodded vigorously and grabbed Luke to leave.

However, Luke did not budge. He looked at Susan intensely. "Susie, are you leading a happy life?"

He was aware of how good Julian treated Susan.

There was even a bright smile on Susan's face which h e had never seen before.

But he still could not help but inquire about that.

Moreover, he did not even know what kind of answer h e wanted at that moment.

Susan was stunned for a short while. She soon smiled and replied, "Yes, of course."

She made a swift response without any hint of hesitation or reluctance.

Luke's eyes became gloomy gradually.

"That's good. I'll leave now." He forced a smile and left with Mandy.

Susan watched as Luke disappeared from her sight. She was about to turn around.

Suddenly, she heard Madam Shaw’s voice. "Susan, what did you say to Luke just now?"

"Yes?" Susan was shocked. "Nothing. He was leaving s o I saw him off."

"Is that so? I saw you standing there for quite a long time. Did you have to linger there long when you were just seeing him off?" Madam Shaw sounded stern. " Susan, remember your status now. You’re Mrs. Shaw. Your past love life is indeed humiliating. You should have avoided Luke, but you didn’t. How could you still speak to him?"

Susan could not help but say, "I just spoke to him for a short while..."

Madam Shaw's voice became colder. "Isn’t that too much? How long did you want to speak to him? You’re Mrs. Shaw. Don't act like a disloyal woman."

Susan was tongue-tied.

What did she do? When did she become a disloyal woman?

But she knew perfectly well about Madam Shaw's characteristics. If she wanted to defend herself, she would only complicate matters.

So Susan could only endure her snide remarks.

"I haven't finished!" Madam Shaw continued to say sternly, "This is such a grand party. How could Julian organize such a party just to celebrate your success? Susan, you didn't earn the money and properties.

Don't you feel rather bad to let Julian waste it like that?"

Susan felt like she was being treated unfairly. "I didn't H

"I persisted in doing so." Julian walked toward them. There was a faint crease between his eyebrows. "Mom, why are you telling Susan those things? I'm the one who insisted on holding the party. If you have any problem with it, just tell me.”
