The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 421

"Go away, don’t mind me." Susan's voice was muffled but contained a hint of a sob.

Julian panicked at once. "Susie, are you crying?"

There was a pause before Susan said, "No!”

Her nasal whine was even more evident now.

Julian pulled the covers back immediately.

"Didn’t I ask you to go away?" Susan looked at him through wet, glossy eyes.

Without a second word, Julian pressed his lips against her tears.

"What are you doing?" Susan tried to shove him, but Julian hugged her tighter.

"Susie, what's wrong?" he asked in a deep voice. 1

How long had it been since he had seen Susan cry? Even when she had given birth to Chessie, she had not shed a single tear. Now, however, she was crying.

Each drop of her tears landed, scorching Julian's heart. He could not help the rising panic within him.

Since he had taken over Lanyard at the age of 18, he had never panicked despite all the burdens and predicaments weighing down on his shoulders. While challenging himself and triumphing in the business world, he had never panicked with each risky step he had taken. Although he had funded StarTech from scratch, he had been calm and collected despite all the challenges they had faced.

Nevertheless, Susan's tears were all it took to tear down his mask of composure.

Susan clenched her jaw, tears coursing down her face endlessly. She felt rather useless. In the past, she would have thrown a divorce agreement at him, packed up, and left. Regardless of whether his affair was real or not, she could pretend to be unaffected.

In the past few years, she had probably had it too easy and Julian had spoiled her too much. When she had suddenly realized that Julian might have another woman, her first reaction had been to hide and wail.

"Susie? Tell me what's wrong!" Julian wiped her tears frantically.

Taking in how fretful Julian was, Susan felt a pinch in her heart. She genuinely did not believe that Julian would cheat on her. Perhaps he and Willa were really only friends? The fact that they had stayed in the same hotel was probably just a coincidence?

No matter what it was, she wanted an explanation even if she had to die. If Julian had cheated on her, she would leave instantly no matter how much she loved this man.

Susan kept her eyes trained on Julian. "Julian, I have a question for you. Where were you last night?"

Julian's heart stuttered. Why was Susan suddenly asking this? What had she discovered?

"Are you trying to think of a lie to tell me?” Susan could not explain what she was feeling.

"Susie, I'm sorry." Julian pressed his lips together. "I came back to Ningcheng City yesterday."

"And you were with Willa last night, weren’t you?" Susan looked at Julian through her teary eyes. "Julian, I know everything. We promised that we'd never lie to each other. Why'd you lie to me?"

"Susie, you know?" Julian suddenly felt himself going cold.

Susie knew about the Errol Virus?

He had worked so hard for so long, yet he had not managed to keep it a secret from her? The virus was a menace. How could she take this blow?

"Yes, I know!" Susan felt like she had been pushed off a cliff while looking at Julian's reaction.
