The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 564

Susan remained rooted blankly at the spot for a long while.

Just when she collected herself and was about to turn around and leave, a voice laden with concern rang out, "Are you okay. Miss Shelby? You don't look very well."

Susan raised her head, and she was stunned.

There was a handsome young man standing in front of her. He had a pair of hard-angled eyebrows, and he seemed to have stars in his eyes. To top it up, his slightly tanned features and mesomorphic body frame made him look even more aweinspiring.

Most importantly, she felt the man was rather familiar.

Susan looked at him as confusion ran amuck on her face.

The man cracked a bitter laugh and said," Should I introduce myself again, Miss Shelby? I'm Julius."

'Julius... that rings a bell...’

However, Susan still could not remember who he was.

Julius sighed helplessly when he saw that Susan's eyes were glazed over with deepening confusion. He then began to speak as he tried to evoke her memory. " Your father introduced you to me at Jacob and Anna's wedding, remember?"

It had only been a short while since the wedding. Susan rummaged through her memory and it finally clicked. She lifted her head and said, "Y-you are the youngest general, right?"

The memory of the man finally returned to Susan. The local press outlets were all over him in recent years. He was her father's favorite apprentice. He did not have any background, and he came up through the ranks with his military exploits alone. He officially became a general after he destroyed the drug den of an international drug lord. He even surpassed her brother's record by a year and became the youngest general in the country.

"You finally remembered," Julius said with a smile. Then, he added, "Actually, Oliver told me about you a few years ago. At that time he wanted to introduce you to me. It's just that I was on a mission, and by the time I returned, you and Mr. Shaw had reconciled. However, it seems to me that you and Mr. Shaw have had some problems in recent years. Just now I saw him..."

Susan could not help but smile bitterly.

Julius hastily apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's just that I was sitting nearby."

"It's fine.” Susan shook her head, her voice raw with emotion, "There are so many people waiting to have a good laugh at us over the years, so it doesn’t really matter to me if you want to join them.”

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Shelby. I don't mean to laugh at you," Julius quickly explained. He then explained in a serious manner, "You didn't do anything wrong. The one at fault is the one who is not faithful to his marriage. You don't have to feel embarrassed. He is the one who should be embarrassed."

Julius was very serious, and Susan could not help but fall into trance.

Even though she had deliberately run away and hid in another city throughout the years, she knew with certainty that many people in Skyking City were laughing behind her back.

This world was never fair to begin with.

Whenever a husband made a mistake, the world would accuse the wife of not taking care of her husband. However, when the situation was reversed and it was the wife who made a mistake, she would be damned to eternal perdition.

Julius's sincere look left a good impression on Susan.

She smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Julius. I'll remember you this time, and I assure you I won’t forget about you next time.”

My pleasure," Julius replied with a smile as well.

Susan pressed her lips tight and then she asked, "Mr. Jenner, this might be too much for me to ask, but can you please not tell anybody about what you've seen and heard today?”

Julius raised his brow. “Sure, but you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?" Susan asked, frowning.

Just when she thought Julius was a nice guy, he began blackmailing her.

As if he could read Susan's mind, Julius chuckled and said, "This coffee shop offers a very special cake on Friday evening, and it tastes really good. If you could buy me a cake, I'll help you keep the secret."
