The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 43

"Miss Jenkins, do you want to stay for dinner?" Julian looked at Charlotte pointedly.

Charlotte was blushing at that point. Then, she said after a long while, "No, I don't think so."

"Then, goodbye," he said abruptly.

"Wait!" Charlotte suddenly bit her lower lip, feeling dissatisfied.

"Yes?" Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Since...since this man is her elder brother, you should have known when I first sent you the photos, so why didn't you tell me?" she asked.

If Julian had told her that from the start, she would not have followed Susan the entire day and made a joke out of herself.

"Why do I have to tell you?" Julian had an evil smirk o n his face. "If I told you, you wouldn't have updated me with her live location, would you?"

"You..." Charlotte almost broke down. Julian had been toying with her!

"Susan is waiting for me to have dinner. Goodbye," he said again, then he turned around and went into the bungalow.

At the Jenkins residence, Charlotte sulked when she

got home.

"Charlotte, come and have dinner,” Madam Jenkins invited.

"Not in the mood." Charlotte threw her bag aside and stormed into her room angrily.

'Susan Shelby, watch out!'

Madam Jenkins was shocked by Charlotte’s anger, so she asked Luke, "What's going on with your sister?"

Luke raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure, but I'll check it out later."

"You don't have to be too concerned. This girl has been acting strangely nowadays. I don't even know what she's doing. You should focus on your wedding now," Madam Jenkins said softly, "Mandy said you haven't been accompanying these days, have you?"

Luke lowered his head and said, "I've been slightly busy with work nowadays."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to accompany her. The Ainsley family only has one daughter, so the entire Ainsley Corporation will sooner or later be yours once you marry her."

"Mom." Luke frowned. The way his mother said that made him feel uncomfortable. "Marriage is not and will never be for gaining benefits like these."

"Alright, alright." Madam Jenkins smiled. "It's not for benefits. It’s the love that you and Mandy have for each other."

The love? Luke's eyebrows twitched slightly and he suddenly put down the chopsticks. "Mom, I want to postpone the wedding."

"Postpone? Why?" Madam Jenkins had a blank expression. "Son, don't fool around with me now. The marriage of both our families was announced a few months ago. You want to postpone the wedding? What will the Ainsley family think? What will the public think?"

"Is what they think more important than my happiness?" Luke looked at her intensely.

"Why aren't you happy about the marriage? Mandy is such a good girl and she's head over heels for you. She will definitely treat you well," Madam Jenkins chided as she looked at Luke’s cold expression. She frowned and asked, "Are you still thinking about...that Susan?"
