The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 480

Julian kept quiet then, prompting Susan to leave with a scoff.

"Susie." Panicked, Julian grabbed a hold of her arm.

"What?” Susan struggled to get free from his grasp again.

"Did you discover something?" Julian was anxious.

He had finally realized that perhaps Susan had not been so cold to him recently just because of what his mother had done previously.

There was a flash of sorrow in Susan’s eyes. "If I hadn't found out myself, would you have kept lying to me about you two being so-called high school friends?"

"Susie, I..."

Susan cut him off. "Julian, you asked me to trust you and I did, but after everything, this is how you return my trust? Have you really forgotten what happened with Isabelle? We made a promise back then to never lie to each other!"

Susan’s calm composure created a stark contrast to Julian's panicked state of mind. "Susie, I had my reasons..."

"Go on, continue making up stories," Susan snorted. "Do you think I'm a fool? That I'll keep believing your lies? Julian, you've thoroughly depleted all my trust in you!"

'You’ve thoroughly depleted all my trust in you!'

It felt like a massive hammer had just rammed into Julian's heart. He suddenly felt parched.

"Susie, I really had a reason."

"Sure, tell me. Let me listen to you lie your way out." Sarcasm dripped from Susan’s tone, but she was still hopeful deep down i n her heart. She refused to believe that Julian would turn his back on their love, but he had lied and met Willa personally. She needed an explanation for what had happened.

Julian pressed his lips together but did not speak for a long time. He had his reasons, o f course, but could he tell Susie? The Errol Virus was going to be cured soon. If he let Susie know that she carried such a menacing virus in her, she would just be one more worried person.

According to Willa, it would take another year until the virus was fully removed. Although she was confident about it, a person who actually had the virus would always be more anxious.

Was he going to let Susie live in worry for a whole year?

It was enough that he had to withstand this worry alone!

"Susie, I didn't want to lie to you." Julian started speaking in a low tone. "Willa isn't my high school friend, but think about it. We've never crossed paths, so how could something happen between the two of us?"

"Who knows? It might have been love at first sight!" Susan mocked him.

"What are you thinking?" Julian defended himself helplessly. "Susie, I did keep some things from you, but don't you trust my love for you after so long? Susan, I love you. You're all there is in my heart. Even the smallest corner in my heart would not be able to contain another woman."

Susan pressed her lips together. "You keep lying to me time and again. Is this your love for me?” "Susie, no matter what I've kept from you, I swear, not an inkling of my love for you is fake. Everything that I've done has been for you,” Julian said seriously.

As she was staring at him, disappointment pooled in Susan's eyes. Julian was still unwilling to speak the truth despite this confrontation.

He had said that everything he did was for her, but had he ever thought whether she liked being lied to?

"I'm tired." Susan pressed her lips together and left to go to her room.

As he watched her retreating back that was elongated by the moonlight, Julian thought that she looked unusually dejected. He was at a loss. Was everything he did wrong?

He had hidden the fact that Susan had the Errol Virus in order for her to live without worry, but was Susan truly happy now?
