The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 293

Susan kept her eyes on Julian before she extended her hand to smooth out the crease between his brows.

Julian grabbed her hand and smiled. "I don't look gloomy, I just feel a little chilly. I’ll go get you another layer to put on."

Susan answered with a beam without exposing him." Sure."

Turning around to head to the room, anguish swallowed Julian's gaze at once, but when he came back with a jacket, he was smiling naturally.

Draping the outerwear on Susan, he gently played with Susan's hair. “Jacob's discharge is timely. It's almost the holiday. Let’s spend it together."

"Mm." Susan nodded and glared at the man. "I was already married to you during the last holiday, but you left me at home. Julian Shaw, you should reflect on it."

Not expecting Susan to revisit an old topic, Julian grimaced and rubbed his nose. "Darling, I've done wrong."

"Good that you know." Susan blinked as an idea popped up in her mind. "I'm punishing you to give me a massage at night!"

"Are you sure it’s a punishment?" Julian raised his brow.

His tone was deep and it made Susan blush.

A massage would always easily unravel out of control, but luckily she had a baby now and Julian was a lot more mindful about it.

While both of them spoke, the car that picked Jacob u p arrived at the door.

Susan’s eyes flew toward it unblinking. She made her way over once Jacob got down. "Why are you half an hour late, Jacob?"

"Ah, I went through another checkup before I left." Jacob rustled Susan's hair. "How’s the baby? Is it being good?"

With the baby mentioned, Susan split into a grin. "It’s being fussier these days. I think the baby's going to be a little monkey when it’s born."

"Nothing bad about being a little mischievous. It's also clever.” There was a rare smile on Jacob’s otherwise aloof face.

Susan chuckled. "Jacob, I made a cake for your discharge today. Let's celebrate it."

"Ooh, of course, I’ll have to taste your baking, Susie."

They entered the house as Susan went to cut the cake. It was a small one, as mentioned, and was divided just nicely into five slices. One was for Mama Jean and four were left.

Susan scratched her head. "Hmm, one for me, one for

Julian, one for Jacob... Why do I have one extra? I counted it before. There are five of us..."

She was lost for a moment before she patted her head. "Jacob, where's Anna? Why isn't she here?"

Susan peered at the door while she spoke. She had booked her for one month. Anna should be around when she was not due yet.

With Anna mentioned, Jacob’s face fell.

"Susie, don't mind her," he said icily.

"What’s up?" Susan was confused and could not help asking when she saw Jacob’s pissed look, "Did she offend you again? She's quite nice. Don’t be petty about it."

Him being petty?

Jacob was exasperated while looking at Susan. His Susie was too naive, always assuming everyone in this world was good.

She had good feelings about Anna since the beginning, but now? Anna had betrayed her without any hesitation.
