Everyone was surprised by Susan’s firm response, as it had exceeded their expectations.
Even Susan's family thought that Julian was kind of innocent and he reasonably deserved to be forgiven as he had tried his best.
Susan was clearly aware of everyone's thoughts. However, she did not explain herself further and clearly expressed her firm decision.
Julian began to drop by the Wright Mansion so often that Luna sympathized with him very much and secretly allowed him to enter their house. Unfortunately, Susan either left immediately when he arrived or locked herself in the room.
She refused to see Julian even just for a second.
Julian was very helpless and had almost given up.
He knew that Susie was still upset, but what was she upset about if it had nothing t o do with his mother?
He needed at least a clue to solve the riddle.
However, only now did Julian realize that h e knew nothing about Susan.
It was late at midnight, and Chesney had fixed her eyes on Susan as she was covered with a blanket. "Are you upset with daddy, mommy?”
Susan frowned as she heard her daughter's sweet voice. "Why did you say that?"
“Because you haven't talked to daddy for a very long time." Chesney added after a blink, "Tell me if daddy has done something wrong, okay? I’ll help you hit him, mommy.”
Susan felt a complicated emotion as she looked at her lovely daughter and rubbed her cheek. "Chessie, there's not necessarily always right or wrong. Perhaps, mommy's expectations for daddy were too high and our relationship was not strong enough to meet them."
In fact, Susan had thought about it carefully.
If she had not married Julian but had married someone else to compromise, she might have been able to forgive him easily.
However, she had married Julian, the man that she loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally. Hence, even tiny pain caused by Julian was certainly so much greater than any big trouble someone else could get her into.
Perhaps, she was too obsessed with this.
In fact, she had expected too much of Julian and had been unable to take the difference since that incident.
There would always be a scar even though the wound had recovered.
If they were to live with this awkwardness for the rest of her life, she would rather end things decisively.
Perhaps, the two of them could not escape suffering this grief, but she and Julian would both get to live new lives.
"What are you talking about, mommy?
Chessie can't understand," Chesney said cluelessly.
Susan answered with a smile, "It doesn't matter, my dear. Just tell daddy what I said. That will do.' "Oh no!" Chesney asked with an awkward expression, “How did you know that daddy got me to ask you this, mommy?”
"Because your mommy is smart!” Susan tickled Chesney's nose as she answered.
"I'm ticklish!” Chesney tried to escape and hid under the blanket until only her eyes were exposed. "Are you and daddy gonna live separately forever, mommy? What about Chessie?"
In fact, Chesney was Susan's biggest concern right now.
She had not spoken to Chessie about this before, but since Chessie had brought it up now, she patiently explained after some serious thought. "Daddy and mommy will solve this problem, Chessie. However, we will always be your parents no matter what happens in the future. You can stay with daddy for a few days if you miss him, and you're always welcome to come home and stay with me when you miss mommy. The reason we are parting is for you to have another home, certainly not the other way around. Don’t worry, my sweetheart."
Susan gently comforted Chessie as she played with her hair.
Chesney, who had initially felt insecure, seemed to be feeling better now.
