The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 271

Blinking her eyes, Susan looked quizzically at Julian.

After a long while, she reached out and touched Julian’s forehead.

"You don’t have a fever, but why are you acting so weird?" Susan mumbled.

The tips of Julian’s lips twitched as he hissed, "Susan!"

"Alright, alright," Susan hastily said, "I understand. I promise I won't get angry at you even if you eat my favorite durian."

The doctor said she had to take care of her sugar intake, so Julian had been forbidding her from taking i n too much durian. Other than this, Susan could not think of anything else that made him feel unhappy.

"Well, thank you, then," Julian said, looking helplessly at Susan.

"You're welcome," Susan replied, offering him a genial grin.

Julian stretched his hand out for her head and tousled her hair affectionately. Then, he said, "Susie, I have a meeting soon. Do you want to go home first?"

"Well, it has been a long time since I last came, so I guess I'll wait for you here," Susan replied.

"Okay, then. Take care of yourself." Julian nodded.

After that, he went to his meeting and left Susan alone in his office.

Susan paced around the office, trying to look for something interesting but could not find any. Bored, she threw herself onto the couch.

Rolling on the couch, she sighed, "Hmm, the couch in Julian's office is really comfortable."

The couch was soft, and she felt as if she was sleeping on a cloud. The afternoon sun shone in through the window, caressing her body with its warm finger and she felt drowsy and content.

She yawned and then she fell asleep.

It was nearly the end of the year and there were a lot o f events going on. By the time Julian finished his meeting, two hours had passed.

Fearing that Susan might get bored, he rushed back to his office only to find that she was fast asleep. He breathed a long sigh of relief and walked up quietly to her. He stood beside the couch and his heart melted a s he admired her sleeping face.

After that, he went to get a blanket and covered her up although the temperature in the office was comfortable.

It had been three months, and the baby bump was starting to show, though it was barely noticeable.

Julian looked at her for a moment, when all of a sudden, pain flared in his eyes.

He was caught in between the demon and the deep blue sea right now. He did not know whether or not he should get rid of the child. After all, both he and Susan was very much looking forward to the day when the child was born. However, if he kept the child, the consequence was that something might happen to Susan during the labor process. He was certain that h e would be very devastated if something bad happened to Susan.

Susan’s eyelashes twitched when she realized someone was standing beside her. Just when she was about to crack her eyes open, she suddenly heard Julian saying something in his deep voice.

"Baby, it's all Daddy’s fault."

'Hmm? What is he talking about?' Susan got curious, s o she decided not to open her eyes first.

'What’s wrong with Julian? Why is he apologizing to the baby? What happened to him?'

"If possible, Daddy also wants to see you born and watch you grow up, but...” Julian sighed, but he did not continue.

'Why doesn't he continue?'

Susan’s eyelashes flickered again as she willed herself not to open her eyes yet.

However, Julian was not going to say anything more, much to her dismay. After he helped to adjust the blanket on her, he then returned to his desk and

started working again.

Susan grew even more curious now.

'What happened to Julian? The baby is fine, and the due date is at the end of summer. Why does he sound like he doesn't want the baby to be born?'

Her heart did a somersault under the cage as a bad hunch rose from her stomach pit.

She knew Julian would not tell her the truth. As such, i f she wanted to know what was going on with Julian, then she had to find it out herself.

She pretended to be asleep for another half an hour and then she opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched her body as she got up from the couch.

"Are you awake?" Julian asked, "Have you slept well?"
