The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 198

'My only secret is that I love you.’

Susan's little heart raced for a while before she acknowledged it and then she leaned on Julian's chest obediently.

She had finally learned the truth today.

So it turned out that Julian loved her way earlier and way deeper than she had imagined.

After learning about the truth, then working backward to the past events, Susan suddenly found everything t o be unusually fascinating.

"Hey, did you purposely lose to me when we were playing cards as children?”

"What do you think?"

"I think that I achieved victory by relying on my capabilities."

"... As long as you're happy."

"I think your eyes looked better when you were a child. Your cheeks were nicer to pinch when you were young too."

"Hmm hmm."

"However, the clay doll you made when you were young was truly quite hideous."

"Hmm hmm."

Susan chattered continuously while Julian listened in all apparent seriousness to which he gave her a simple reply every once in a while.

He did not speak much, but the smile on his lips was unprecedentedly gentle.

At this very moment, he felt as if he was holding an eternity as he held Susan.

They leaned in each others’ arms and chatted just like that until they lost track of time. Susan’s voice grew softer and in the end, she fell asleep.

A look of pity flashed past Julian’s eyes as he looked a t her tranquil sleeping face.

Susie was really exhausted.

Susie did not talk about the incident of Wayne Lewis from today afterward but he could tell that the incident triggered the shadow of Susie's past once again.

Richard Jenkins’ death...

Susie always behaved as if she had already forgotten about it and did not mind it anymore.

Yet judging from the current situation, the incident left behind a mark in her heart that had yet to be removed.

Unless he could find evidence to prove that Richard's death was unrelated to Susie.

Otherwise, perhaps this incident would continue to haunt her at all times like a lingering soul.

Yet, Richard’s death was overly thorough that not even his corpse or bones were left. It was truly too difficult to find the cause of death.

In the dream, Susan dreamt about something that made her brows furrowed tightly.

Julian stretched out his hand to smoothen her brows then he said softly, "Don't be scared, Susie.”

He comforted her with his soft voice patiently. Susan's brows relaxed gradually as well.

When Susan was in a deep sleep, Julian took out a coat cautiously and covered her.

A bodyguard waited for him for a very long time on the side. He made his way to Julian with gentle movements when he saw that Susan was sound asleep. "Mr. Shaw, that man..."

"Hush." Julian made a quiet hand gesture, then stood u p. "Take me to the backroom to see him right away. W e shall speak as we walk."

"Yes," answered the bodyguard immediately.

Wayne Lewis was tied up in the backroom of the aircraft. The bodyguard passed him a document as they walked. Then, the bodyguard narrated the highlight of the content softly, "I've already checked this man's identity. He is a male host at Fame Club and he seems to be rather popular in the club. Many wealthy women will keep him as their concubine at all costs. Even though he is making a good income, he has a gambling addict as his father. Thus, he’s always i n a penniless state regardless of how much money he makes. During the earlier period of time, his father went to gamble and owed a million dollars on usury. Then, we looked into his account and found a 500,000 one-off transfer. He withdrew the money and paid it t o the loan shark just to hold them back temporarily." 1

"500,000." Julian narrowed his eyes. "Did you find out where the money came from?"

"Not yet for the time being. This is because the account is already empty now. However, we should be able to get a result in two to three days if we look into i t."

Julian raised an eyebrow. "It's fine, no need to do that."

He had already figured out who the person behind the scene was.
