The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 451

Despite the timing, Julian was still very domineering. Susan looked at him. "Why? Are you suddenly suffering from amnesia and thus decided not to go through with the divorce again?”

"Susie, listen to me," Julian said in a deep tone. "I have a solution so that mom will never oppose us being together again. She won't ever put you in a tough spot either. I already have some clues about the culprit behind the arsenic poisoning as well. My men are investigating in Ningcheng City right now, and I believe they’ll come forward with something soon. You just need to wait a few more days. Things will get sorted out shortly."

Susan glanced at Julian, but there was no ripple of emotion in her eyes. "Julian, regardless of whether your mother opposes us or not, we can't possibly get back together."

She still loved him and longed for him, but when something happened, there was no turning back. Susan was unable to forget.

"Susie, why?" Susan's collected self put Julian on edge.

From his perspective, their previous issue was Madam Shaw. As long as they did away with her, would everything not be fine?

Why was Susie still saying that it was no longer possible for them to be together?

Susan did not answer, but a gleam of disappointment flashed in her gaze as she looked at Julian. He still did not understand why she was so angry this time.

Did he not know what Madam Shaw was always like? It was not like she had never done something worse. She had just put up with it too, had she not?

She had been prepared to bear anything as long as Julian stood by her side firmly.

This time, however, to comply with Madam Shaw, Julian was divorcing her. Although h e had said that it was all a pretense, this had crossed Susan's limit for love.

Julian could care for Madam Shaw. She was his mother after all. However, the way he cared for her could not make his wife and child suffer.

Did his decision this time not show that she and Chessie were not as important as Madam Shaw?

Susan knew that she could be considered enigmatic now, but she really could not get over it this time.

In the past, she had broken up with Luke. The car accident that Luke had been involved in had seemed to be the cause. However, even without it, they would not have lasted long together. After all, Luke had taken too long to choose between her and his mother even when it had been blatant who was right and wrong. It was this indecisiveness that had hurt the most. This was exactly why Susan's feelings for him had gradually worn out.

Later, her first roar of feelings for Julian had happened because he had been standing behind her in support all the time, firm and undivided. It had made Susan believe that Julian and Luke were different men. Her feelings had thus developed and turned into deep love.

Nonetheless, what had happened this time was enough evidence.

The reason Julian had stood by her side all this while was because Madam Shaw had not wailed, whined, and committed suicide like Madam Jenkins. Now that Madam Shaw had done the same, her honorable son Julian Shaw was just as helpless.

In the end, Julian and Luke were not any different.

In the end, she was still the one abandoned without any care.

Julian did not understand that the person who had actually hurt her was not Madam Shaw. It was him.

Susan did not even care about Madam Shaw. No matter how gravely Madam Shaw had hurt her, the most she had felt was fury. Julian, on the other hand, was her beloved. Even a small action of his was enough to send her down a spiraling abyss.

The pain in Susan’s eyes was so palpable that Julian was alarmed. "Susie, what is it?"

He really could not wrap his head around it.

"Nothing." Susan dropped her gaze and said softly, "I’ve attended dinner and given my birthday greeting. I'll be taking my leave now."
