The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 544

"Eh? Isn't that Uncle Jacob's voice?" Chessie's eyes lit up.

Susan pursed her lips. Knowing that she could not escape, she opened the door silently.

As soon as the door opened, Luna rushed in and hugged her. "My girl, how could you just leave without telling your parents? Didn't you know that we'd worry about you?"

Upon seeing everybody's anxious expressions, Susan felt a little guilty. After a while, she explained softly, "I wanted to inform you after I'd settled down. If I were to tell you earlier, I was afraid that you wouldn’t let me come here..."

So you went with the fait accompli tactic. huh?" George looked at Susan with approving eyes. "Such decisiveness... That's so like my style. The apple truly does not fall far from the tree."

"Shut up, old man!" Luna could not help but glare at George. What was this idiot thinking? Was this action worthy of praise?

Was this meant to encourage Susie to do this all the time in the future?

Luna simply wondered how she had fallen in love with George.

Feeling Luna's glare, George stopped talking cowardly.

Susan cleared her throat and said gently," Don't worry about me, mom. I just wanted to leave and go to a serene and quiet place.”

The reason Susan wanted to be left in peace was obvious to everyone present.

Luna took Susan's hands suddenly and said with a distressed expression, "Susie, mom knows that you might have felt a little upset if you'd stayed in Skyking City, but you didn't have to come this far. We could stay in the suburbs. As long as we don’t run into the people we don't want to meet, it will be okay, right?"

Susan pursed her lips and then expressed her thoughts very solemnly. "Mom, I won't lie to you, I can’t get that man off my mind. However, since he has already betrayed me, I don't want to humbly beg him for anything. If I were to stay in Skyking City, there would be too many people around who know me. I don’t want to see their sympathetic or gloating gazes. On the other hand, Jerucity is great. It's far from both Skyking City and Ningcheng City, so the people around here don’t know me.

Thus, I don’t have to worry about awkward gazes and I can be myself and have peace of mind. Mom, I need time to start a new life. Please let me stay here, okay?"

Since Susan had said this, although Luna was still reluctant to leave her, she gritted her teeth and agreed to it. "Susie, I can agree to your idea and let you stay here temporarily, but promise me that you'll come back to us sooner or later."

Susan gave her a resplendent grin. “Of course, Skyking City is my home, and everyone wants to go home eventually. I'll definitely be back once I’ve let go of everything. Just give me some time, mom."

"Alright..." Luna was torn between two choices, but she also knew that forcing Susan to stay in Skyking City would only make her feel uncomfortable. Staying away from that place might be the best option for her.

After addressing the elephant in the room, Luna put aside her worries and said, "You can stay, but you'll be living alone with two children. I can't allow that. Therefore, I've brought two guards with great skills. From now on, they'll take turns protecting you three 24/7.”

Luna waved her hands as she spoke.

Sure enough, two well-built bodyguards walked in.

"They're the Chabowski brothers. He's Bruce, and he's Rivera. They'll stay here for as long as you do."

Susan was slightly touched. Luna had even prepared bodyguards before coming over, which proved that she had already thought about giving in from the very beginning. Sure enough, even if her daughter was headstrong, a mother would always support her unconditionally.

Susan sniffed, resisting a feeling of slight bitterness. "Mom, there's no need, I..."

As soon as she started that sentence, Luna interrupted her without any hesitation. "If you don’t keep them, I'll never allow you to stay here."

Upon seeing Luna's steadfast look, Susan could only nod in response.

"Good." Luna gave her a smile.

Susan thought about an idea for a while and then glanced at Jacob. "Jacob, you must have located me, right? Could you help me with something?"
