Willa Doyle smiled, lowered her voice, and said, "Madam Shaw, you still don't know about this. Susan suffers from a health condition, so I'm afraid that she won't be able to bear another child in the future.
Thus, she and Julian adopted a child."
Willa's remark was naturally nonsense.
However, having a grandson had already been Madam Shaw's biggest worry for some time. As soon as Willa brought it up, Madam Shaw's heart started beating loudly. "You're talking nonsense."
"I'm not. Why don't you think about it yourself, Madam Shaw?" Willa spoke slowly. "If Susan is still capable of bearing children, why hasn't anything happened after so many years? If she is still capable of bearing children, why did the two of them adopt a boy in such a rush? Julian loves Susan deeply, and his intention is to pass down the family business to Lucas if Chesney can't take over."
“How is that okay?" Madam Shaw could not help gasping aloud.
She had no qualms about Julian Shaw and Susan Shelby adopting a child, as the Shaws did not lack the financial ability to support the child.
However, letting the child inherit the family business?
Could Julian have gone mad?
Madam Shaw calmed down soon and said," Julian wouldn't be so foolish."
Willa let out a bitter laugh. "Madam Shaw, do you believe what you just said? Julian loves Susan so much that if that is what
Susan wants, will he not obey?"
Madam Shaw immediately narrowed her eyes. "If Julian loves Susan so much, why does he have you?"
Willa immediately put on a sad expression. "Madam, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth. Our relationship is truly just an accident. Susan bumped into us accidentally and left right away due to her temper. That is how I was given this chance. However, after the two years that I've been taking good care of Julian wholeheartedly, he has developed a favorable impression of me. Still, it's too early to talk about love. Susan is about to come back soon. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything anymore from then on."
Willa was superb at making up lies.
Madam Shaw believed her a little upon seeing her sad face.
Madam Shaw then said coldly, "What's the point of you telling me this?"
Wills behaved as if she had made up her mind in all seriousness. She raised her head and said in a resolute tone, "Madam Shaw, I love Julian. Even if Julian doesn’t love me, it's fine. Even if he doesn't allow me to be with him, that’s fine too. My only wish is to give him a son so the Shaws will have an heir."
Madam Shaw was not paying attention to Willa initially, yet Willa's remark hit close to her heart.
The issue of having a male heir had always been her biggest worry.
Susan was impossible. She was infertile, yet she had still tied up Julian and refused to let go. Had it not been for her formidable family, Madam Shaw would have made this shameless woman leave earlier.
Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to her now.
Madam Shaw took a deep breath and began pondering this carefully.
Willa's offer tempted her.
Julian and Susan would not get a divorce, yet Susan was infertile. The Straws could not afford not to have an heir.
She should just let Julian have a child with someone else. If she had no other choice, she would leave the child in Susan's care in the future. That way, Susan should not be able to complain much, right?
Madam Shaw was obviously tempted beyond comparison, yet her expression remained nonchalant as she looked at Willa. "If this is only about bearing a child, I have my own candidate in mind. Why should I choose you instead?"
Wills smiled calmly. "You can choose someone else to do it, of course. However, you should understand Julian's temper very well. He has a rather favorable impression of me at the very least. If it's someone else instead, do you still think he will agree?"
Madam Shaw pondered this meticulously.
Judging by the fact that Julian still had not left Willa after two years, she believed that Julian should have some feelings for Willa.
