The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 459

He hastily said, "Chessie, you should be in bed. You’re sick."

"There is no need to stay in bed anymore! Mommy is not here!" Chesney complained i n a hushed tone. "Daddy, I have sacrificed a lot for you this time."

"What have you sacrificed? What are you talking about, Chessie?" Julian said as he kept giving her pointed looks.

However, Chesney failed to get the signal. She stared at Julian and said, "Daddy, are you turning against me? If it had not been for you, I wouldn't have needed to lie to mommy by pretending to be sick."

"Chessie, stop talking nonsense!" Julian said sternly.

"Nonsense?” Just as Chesney was about to reason with Julian, a harsh and cold voice rang out.

"Pretending to be sick? Lie to mommy?"

The voice sounded very familiar, and Chesney froze.

Slowly, ever so slowly, she turned around and looked at Susan with a smile that was even uglier than when she had been crying. "M... Mommy?"

Susan looked at Chesney expressionlessly.

"Mommy, I suddenly feel very dizzy. If I said something wrong, you must not believe me," Chesney said as she moved her hand over her forehead.

"Yeah, she is just talking nonsense," Julian hastily added.

Susan suddenly smiled. "You two are pretty united. You've been working together to make fun of me. Do you think it is fun? Do you think it is funny to see me worry about you?”

Susan's tone was calm, but Julian and Chesney could sense that she was very angry.

Julian quickly went forward and defended Chesney. "Susie, please don’t blame Chessie. She was just helping me."

"Of course it is not Chessie's fault." Susan looked at Julian. "She is just a kid. She doesn't know anything. Julian Shaw, you even used a child to achieve your goal. I’m really disappointed with you."

After saying that, Susan turned around and left.

She felt just like a clown. After all, she had been fooled by the father-daughter duo. She had been so worried about Chesney, yet it had all been a lie. She was the only one who had gotten fooled by them.

"Mommy, mommy." Chesney became nervous. She dashed forward and wrapped her arms around Susan's leg. "Mommy, please don't be angry. Chessie knows that she was wrong."

She looked at Susan with eager eyes.

Susan, who was unable to get angry with her daughter, sighed and said, "Do you know how worried mommy was when you pretended to be sick?”

"Chessie knows she was wrong," Chesney said, looking at Susan with dewy eyes.

When she thought about Susan hurrying to her side overnight and waking up very early in the morning every day to cook her congee, Chesney could not help but feel guilty.

"Since you're not sick, mommy will be leaving now. You can stay here with daddy," Susan said.

"Mommy, you don't want Chessie anymore?” Chesney's eyes turned red around the rims.

Susan squatted down and looked into Chesney's eyes. "Mommy will never abandon you, Chessie."

No matter how angry she was, she knew that was something that she should not say to the kid.

Chesney felt a little relieved. Then, she looked at Susan with puppy eyes and said again, "Mommy, Chessie really didn’t mean to lie to you... Chessie just doesn't want mommy and daddy to separate." 'Chessie, even though mommy and daddy are not together anymore, you are still our daughter. This is a fact that will never change,” Susan said as she wiped the tears off Chesney's eyes.
