The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 542

"Anna." Susan held her hand and gave her a smile. "You deserve this. Anyway, this 30 percent of the shares belonged to my brother originally. He just asked me to keep it for him temporarily. You'll be his wife in the future, so from now on, you should take care of it for him."

"But..."

"No buts.” Susan smiled gently. "Don’t you want to marry my brother in the future?"

"I'll marry him, but..."

"Alright, you've already signed your name, so just take it," Susan said with a grin. "It's a family tradition for the women to be in charge of the money. Also, don't tell my brother about this just yet."

Anna stared at the signed contract with a nonplussed expression involuntarily.

Susan suddenly hugged her at that moment. "Anna, just consider it a wedding gift from me, okay?"

Susan's embrace was very tender. Anna's glabella relaxed, and she responded softly.

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door.

Susan opened the door and saw Jacob.

He was holding a fruit platter. “Susie, I’m here to deliver some fruit.”

"Tsk... Bullsh*t." Susan took a glance at him in amusement. "You're just worried about Anna being alone with me."

"No, I'm not.” Jacob felt embarrassed instantly.

"Okay, we're done with our little secretsharing session. Take your fruit back to the living room. Well eat it with everybody else," Susan said with a smile.

As she said so, she winked at Anna, giving her a signal.

Anna had already put away the contract. She did not know what to say about this matter, so she could only nod.

Everyone was in the living room, so it was a boisterous scene.

"By the way, where's brother-in-law?” Anna suddenly asked out of curiosity after she chatted and laughed with the others for a while.

The lively atmosphere became cold immediately.

Everybody gazed at Susan subconsciously.

Susan just smiled faintly.

"There’s so much delicious food, yet it's still failed to stuff your mouth?” Luna picked up a slice of apple and shoved it into Anna's mouth.

Everyone else intervened and interrupted in an effort to change the topic.

Susan laughed and looked across the lively hall. It was not clear what she was glancing at.

She knew that everyone was afraid to evoke her agony. That was why they were carefully avoiding that topic.

However, it was useless.

The wound would always be there, and it would not hurt less just because others did not bring the topic up.

However, everyone was being kind, so

Susan accepted this kindness silently.

At night, Susan slept with the kids.

She lay in the middle, and Luca and Chessie took the spot on her left and right. They both looked very happy.

"Mommy, you haven’t slept with Chessie for a long time," Chessie said.

Susan pinched Chessie's cheek. "Chessie is already a big girl. How can she sleep with her mother all the time?"
