The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 545

Although Susan had told him not to disclose her whereabouts to Julian, Jacob thought about it and went to the office.

It was already late at night, but Julian's office was still brightly lit.

Ever since making that agreement with Willa, Julian had been working overtime until late at night. Except for the five hours that he had promised, he did not want to see that woman for even an extra minute.

"You're still working overtime." Jacob opened the door and a hint of clarity flashed through his eyes.

In just a few days, Julian had grown a messy beard. Although he was still breathtakingly attractive, he seemed indescribably dispirited.

"Apart from work, I don't know what else I can do now." Julian's voice sounded a little hoarse.

Upon seeing him like that, Jacob felt slightly bitter deep down.

Julian was trying to numb himself by desperately submerging himself in loads of work.

Susan was trying to deceive herself by escaping the city.

Obviously, they were still deeply in love with each other, but fate just had to make them torture each other like this.

Jacob took a deep breath and then said," Susie disappeared with the kids.”

The fountain pen that Julian was holding in his hand dropped onto the desk with a snap!

He stood up at once, his bloodshot eyes becoming very clear in an instant." Disappeared? Where is she? The virus is about to flare out tomorrow!"

Julian dashed toward Jacob and grabbed him by the hem of his collar, "How did you lose her? How can so many people fail at guarding one woman?"

Julian’s voice was almost a roar.

He had been resisting not to going to see Susan for days.

Only God knew how agonizing this was for him.

The reason he had barely held back was that he believed that many people were around Susan, so everyone would be able to take good care of her.

Now, Jacob was telling him that Susie had disappeared! What did this mean?

The virus would relapse tomorrow. If she was not there to take the antidote, Susan would die. She would die!

"Calm down." Jacob realized that Julian had misunderstood and quickly added, " She only left temporarily. We are aware of her whereabouts."

They were aware of her whereabouts?

Julian took a few breaths and then finally loosened his hands, which were clasping Jacob's collar.

He took another deep breath and apologized. “I’m sorry. I lost my cool back there.”

"It's okay. If I were in your place, I’d be even more anxious," Jacob said calmly.

Julian sat down on the sofa dejectedly. " Susie left Skyking City... because she doesn't want to see me, right?" "That should give you an idea of how deeply she was hurt," Jacob added.

A hint of excruciating pain flashed across Julian's eyes.

He muttered, "I know. Of course I know."

However, what else could he do?

He only wished that Susan could live.

Jacob sighed lightly and then patted Julian on the shoulder. "When Susie discovers the truth, this entire misunderstanding will be resolved."

Could it really be resolved?

Julian let out a wry chuckle.

Even when the truth was out there, proving that he'd had to make too many difficult choices, the damage that had been dealt should have already settled down and become an indelible wound.

He was afraid that he and Susan would not be able to go back to the way they had been even if he waited until the day the truth was revealed. But what else could he do?

He could not do anything at all!

Jacob said in a low voice, "Susie told me not to let you locate her. I've promised her that."

Julian chuckled sarcastically. "She hates me so much now... Of course she doesn’t want me to find her.”
