Julian Shaw pried open each of Susan Shelby's fingers and then glared coldly at her. "I'm sorry. I have a date tonight."
"Then, can you ask that person to come over?” Susan was getting more nervous.
He squinted. "Woman, what games are you playing at?"
Susan flinched, then said softly, "Mom heard that you haven’t been home for half a month since you've been partying too hard outside. She...she's worried about your health and wants me to think of a way to make you stay. Otherwise, she'll stop paying my elder brother’s medical fees."
She lowered her head and dared not look at Julian's expression.
After a while, a chuckle was heard in the room. "So, that's the reason. Haha, it really is the reason for this show. Oh yeah, if it wasn't for your brother, you wouldn't put in such commendable effort." 1
Julian's words contained an indescribable hint of self-deprecation.
She bit her lower lip. "Then...can you..."
"Okay," he said unambiguously, "As you wish. I'll come home in the future, but just so you know, I miss my many girlfriends..."
"It doesn't matter. You can bring them home. Just be careful. Don’t let Mom find out," she immediately replied.
There was no foundation in their relationship. As long as she could secure her elder brother's medical fees, she was not bothered by what Julian Shaw wanted to do.
"What a good and devoted wife." Julian's expression turned cold. He whipped out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "You have half an hour to come to N 0. 67, Sky Mountain Road."
Then, Julian looked at Susan with a sneer. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Thank you," she replied gratefully.
"Thank me?" He walked up to her and held her chin roughly. "I hope you won’t regret this word."
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang and Susan quickly opened the door.
A pretty woman with heavy makeup stood in the doorway. Susan could recognize her.
"Aren't you...that goddess, Cheryl Young?” Susan's eyes widened.
Cheryl took a light glance at Susan, then said with slight arrogance, "Are you the servant? Where's Julian?"
Servant...
There was a flash of embarrassment in Susan's eyes, but she did not explain herself. When they got married, they made a pact that no one should know about their union.
Furthermore, the goddess should be the guest Julian was expecting, so he would not want her to know that Susan was his wife.
"Welcome, Miss Young." Susan tamped her emotions down and stepped aside.
Cheryl sauntered in suggestively, and when she saw Julian sitting on the sofa, her eyes immediately became passionate.
