"What?" Cheryl lifted her head with a flash of shock in her eyes.
Was there no need to shoot the advertisement anymore? She had spent so much time getting this advertisement.-
"Julian, I..." Being the docile creature she was, she quickly replied, "I admit that was my mistake. This advertisement..."
"You can leave now." Julian refused to listen to her explanation.
"I...” Reluctantly, she did not understand the mistake that landed her in this nerve-wracking situation.
“Do you need me to repeat?" Julian's eyes glimmered with a dangerous flash.
As Cheryl gritted her teeth and dared not say anything, she took her bag and left.
Julian looked at Susan in concern then walked over." Does it...hurt?" i
Susan shook her head and looked at him in a daze." You...Why...?" Similar to Cheryl, she could not comprehend why he had just thrown a tantrum a moment ago. Was it for her sake?
Nevertheless, Susan would never be so self-obsessed.
Seeing through her doubts, he sneered, "What? Do you think I got angry because of you?"
"I don’t think so." She appeared calm.
In all solemnity, the words that came out of Julian's mouth were unsympathetic. "That's right. The most intolerable aspect of a woman is unrequited love. The reason I punished Cheryl Young is because she overstepped her boundaries!
"You're my wife, the madam of the Shaw family. Who i s she to scold and beat you!? Therefore, I was protecting the Shaw family's dignity and face. It's not about you, alright?"
"Sure." Susan nodded obediently. She could not help thinking about why he had not protected the Shaw family's dignity and face when she was massaging Cheryl.
However, Julian was always unpredictable, thus she did not bother asking in case it provoked him.
Susan's compliant response further ignited Julian's anger.
He drew a few deep breaths. His decision to not go home had been right. Otherwise, it would have shortened his life by a few years.
Julian snorted. "It's late and I have nothing else to say to you. It's time to sleep!"
"Alright," Susan replied in an instant, "Julian, you can sleep in the master bedroom. I'll take the guest room."
"The guest loom?” He held her back and said, "We’re a married couple. Is it necessary to sleep in separate rooms? Weren't you taking the initiative just now? It's too late to pretend to be an innocent virgin."
"I..." Susan gritted her teeth and lowered her head. "I understand."
While her timid reaction was expected, Julian was already regretting his decision.
This woman was like a kitten curled up in a corner. Under the moonlight, her face was exceptionally beautiful.
Susan was obviously a little nervous. Her heart was pounding and her breath was shallow.
Julian thought about it deeply. If he wanted her, she would not reject him. However, at the thought of Susan's pale face while she lay under him, he lost all enthusiasm.
He had longed for her for a long time. It had been so long that even he found it hard to believe. Nevertheless, as long as he thought of her having another man in her heart, Julian's ego forbade him to take any action.
In the middle of the night, although Susan was nervous, she slowly fell asleep from exhaustion.
