The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 475

"Mom, customers," the little boy said obediently.

"What customers?" the woman scolded. "Do you know that I didn't the entire night yesterday? I just fell asleep! You just had to wake me up huh!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the little boy and whacked his buttocks.

"Mom, you said to wake you up when there’s a customer,” the boy defended himself pitifully.

"So you did what I said? Why weren’t you s o obedient before this huh?” The woman’s beatings landed harder.

The little boy's pout deepened like he wanted to cry but he held it all in, rousing bouts of pity with how he looked.

Although this was somebody else's family affair and it was tricky to intervene, to hit a small child like this... Susan was going to speak up but Chesney was already charging toward them angrily.

"Hey, how can you hit someone as you wish!"

She complained about the boy’s dirty state just earlier but she slotted herself right in front of the boy now without hesitation.

There was a sliver of surprise in the boy’s eyes as he stared at Chessie.

The woman squeezed a smile on her face while looking at Chesney. "You’re the customer, yes? We’re not in business today. You can leave now."

"You’re not in business, but that doesn’t mean you can hit him," Chessie huffed. “

Besides, he didn't do anything wrong!"

The woman was quite embarrassed for being chastised by a kid and retorted, "This is my family affair. Don’t be a busybody."

"Is it? But domestic abuse seems to be against the law." Susan's cold voice rang.

Hearing the voice, the woman froze before she slowly turned back and saw Julian and Susan who stood shoulder to shoulder.

There was a sense of disbelief that washed over her gaze. "Julian Shaw! Susan Shelby!"

Recognized and having their names called out, both of them were astonished.

"Daddy, Mommy, do you know this bad missus?” Chessie asked in alertness while she guarded the little boy.

"I'd like to know too. Do we know you?" Susan could not help the surprise that laced her question when she asked the unkempt and grimy woman before them.

There was a subtle change of expression from the woman as she involuntarily stiffened. It had been three years, but these two people in front of her did not change a bit while she was already aged beyond herself!

That little girl... It must be their child! Hah, look at how she was dressed just like a little princess...

Her son, on the other hand...

The woman looked toward the grubby little boy and seemed more unsettled.

Her strange reaction put a frown on Julian. "Who are you?"

There was a moment of pause before the woman answered, "It's nothing. I don't know you guys. I've only seen you guys on television.”

Seen them on television? It was possible.

Julian and Susan attended charity dinner and whatnot occasionally throughout the years and had gone onto newspapers and television programs before.

In spite of it, the woman’s reaction was still puzzling.

Julian narrowed his eyes. "Tell us then, when did you see us on TV?"
