The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 440

"Susie." Flashes of unprecedented exhaustion and despair appeared in the pits of Julian's eyes. "That’s my mother. If I let her go about her way, she'll kill herself.”

"Yes, that's your mother." Susan stared at Julian, a mocking tone slowly tinting her eyes.

Susan's expression suddenly threw Julian off.

He grabbed her hands. "Susie, we aren't really divorcing. I can forge a certificate of divorce and deceive mom. I have clues about the poisoning case too. When the truth is revealed, everything will be fine.”

Susan drank in Julian with her eyes quietly. She loved this man deeply. He had said that he did not really want to divorce her. He had said that he only wanted a fake divorce to outwit Madam Shaw.

Why then... Why did Susan only feel endless despair?

Susan’s silence unnerved Julian. "Susie... I promise that I won't let you bear this for too long."

A small smile finally appeared on Susan's face as she kept her eyes on him. "You won't let me bear it for too long. Julian, should I be thanking you for your benevolence right now?”

There was a strange glint in Susan's expression that Julian could not put his finger on for now.

"We'll stay husband and wife, openly and legitimately, if you want that. We will divorce, just as openly and legitimately, if you want a divorce. I’m not accepting a fake divorce," Susan said calmly.

That was her marriage and her home, but she and Chessie had been kicked out without any respect.

A fake divorce? Yes, perhaps they could dismiss Madam Shaw that way and perhaps she would not make their lives difficult when the truth was unearthed, but Susan was truly quite exhausted.

Ever since she had gotten together with Julian, Madam Shaw had felt like a nightmare haunting her life constantly.

The damage Madam Shaw had done to her and Chessie alone was much more than everything else added together, yet she had only forgiven her time and again because she was Julian's mother.

Did Julian think that she had been born to please someone who despised her? Did he think that she did not harbor a sliver of resentment in her? Did he think that she deserved being humiliated by Madam Shaw over and over again?

This was enough.

Susan really thought that she'd had enough of a life like that.

Madam Shaw did not approve of her from the bottom of her heart. Even if this incident was over and done with, there would be another one and then another one

One Madam Shaw was enough to cause her the trouble of 10 Madam Shaws.

If Susan had been alone, she could have gone through such a predicament tenfold for Julian. Now, however, she had Chessie.

She was never letting Chessie go through another grievance.

"Susie." Julian's gaze on Susan was heartbroken. "It’s just a few days. Wait a few days for me, okay?"

An extreme sense of exhaustion bubbled from the bottom of Susan's heart. She rubbed the spot between her brows." Julian, haven't I waited enough? She's your family, but Chessie and I are not? We didn't even do anything wrong, but we had to go through all this. Do we deserve it?"

"Susie, my mom’s more domineering and obstinate. Her decisions can hardly be changed. You're my lover, but your temper i s much better than my mom’s. I can only..."
