The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 420

"Julian!" Susan's hand flew out to pull at him anxiously.

Finding leverage on her grasp, Julian took her into his arms. With an arm carrying Chesney and an arm wrapped around Susan, he felt like he had the world i n his embrace.

As he took a light whiff of the fragrance in Susan's hair, there was a small smile playing on his lips." Susie, I missed you."

Susan’s fretful mind was put at ease in an instant. Her gaze was gentle as she hummed lightly. She thought that she did not have to be bothered by the photos. She did not have to trouble herself worrying about Julian’s insignificant lie.

Perhaps he'd had something else to attend to in the hotel. He had come out with the woman, but that did not mean that they had stayed together the entire night. Maybe he had lied to save her from worrying about him working overtime.

Susan did not want to pursue this. Even when all the clues pointed in the direction of suspicion, she trusted Julian, so any doubts could be ignored.

"Daddy, mommy, don't be shy." Chesney giggled.

"Ah, you... Daddy just got home and he's tired. Let's not pester him." Susan carried Chesney away.

"Julian, go get some rest first...” Susan looked up and spoke to Julian when suddenly, a gentle voice said," Alright, that's all. Everything is here. Move it all upstairs for me."

Susan looked over and her smile froze in place instantly.

It was a woman. A beautiful woman. Most importantly, she was the woman in the photo.

"Julian, this is..." Susan gazed at Julian in a trance.

Julian smiled and replied, "Susie, let me introduce you. This is Miss Doyle. Willa Doyle. She’s a friend of mine that will be staying with us for the time being.”

Willa Doyle!

A friend!

She was going to stay in their house for the time being.

Susan suddenly felt her legs lose the ability to support her.

Her decision to not get entangled in all these suspicions and continue to trust Julian wholeheartedly had not come easy, yet Julian was bringing this woman to their home in the afternoon when he had just exited the hotel with her in the morning?

Susan felt faint.

"Hello, Mrs. Shaw." Willa extended a hand toward Susan with a smile.

Although she was staring at her, Susan did not react for a while, letting Willa's hand hover in the air.

"Susie?” Julian looked at her weirdly.

Why did she look like she was spacing out?

"It's fine." Willa was not fazed or embarrassed that

Susan was not shaking hands with her. She pulled her hand naturally and flashed her a friendly smile. "Mrs. Shaw, I didn't want to be a bother, but I'm not familiar with the area. Mr. Shaw has been a good friend of mine for years, so I let myself trouble you."

"A good friend for years?" Susan glanced at Julian. Why had she not known that he had such a friend?

"Yes," Julian replied easily. "Willa's a friend of mine from high school. We kept in touch after graduating. She’s here in Ningcheng City for some personal affairs and we met by chance, so I invited her to stay with us. Susie, I’m busy with work and you must be bored at home alone. I thought that the atmosphere in the house would be merrier with Willa’s company.” 1
