The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 568

"That's understandable." Julius chuckled, "I hope you can save my phone number so that I won’t be an unknown caller the next time I call."

Susan was even more embarrassed. She responded immediately, "I'll save it later."

"Then Ms. Shelby, I’ll not beat around the bush and get straight to the point of this call." It seemed to be windy on Julius's side. His voice sounded very vague. "The favor that you owe me—I might need you to return it now."

"Is there anything that requires my help? Just say it."

The corner of Julius's lips twitched and a smile appeared on his face. "Let me put it this way. Haven’t I been conducting secret missions abroad? I just came back some time ago and I was promoted to a general. So now, many people want to invite me to their banquets. I've rejected a lot of them, and I feel really embarrassed about it. Tomorrow the Quintons will be holding a banquet. I was thinking that I should attend one once in a while. However, I'm not very comfortable with such situations— I’m worried that I can't handle it well if I go alone."

"What do you want to say then?" Susan could not help but ask.

"Can you accompany me there? I know that the daughter Lara Quinton calls you her master, and you're very close to the Quintons. I can feel more at ease when you're around," Julius invited Susan directly.

Actually, I'm not very comfortable with such occasions too..."

“You'll be at least better than me.' Julius scoffed, “Just this once?"

Julius invited her politely, so it was not easy for Susan to refuse him. Plus, she did owe him one.

Susan gave it a thought and agreed to it with a nod. “Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Thanks, thank you.” Julius said gratefully, "Then I'll fetch you at the Wrights at 6 pm sharp tomorrow."

"Okay." Susan nodded in response.

The next evening, Julius was at the gate waiting for Susan.

"General Jenner is here again!" Before Julius had the time to call Susan, the concierge had quickly passed the message to the mansion.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Susan for a while.

George cleared his throat and said, “Susie, you and Julius are quite close huh?"

"Nah. It's just that he just came back to Skyking City. He's not very familiar with the place and people, so I'm accompanying him to a banquet to let him familiarize and blend in," Susan explained.

"This Julius fella..." Luna glared at George while he was about to comment about Julius and shut him up successfully.

Luna then gazed at Susan with a smile. ' Susie, it's nothing, don’t mind your dad. Now go."

Susan nodded and was about to leave. Chessie stared at Susan eagerly, "Is Mommy going to a banquet? Chessie wants to go out and play too."

Looking at her longing eyes, Susan's heart melted. She agreed to bring her along without any hesitation.

She then glanced at Lucas again. "Luca should come along too."

"So I can go too?" Lucas's eyes lit up and he happily agreed to the suggestion.

Therefore, Julius originally thought that he was waiting for one person, but he got three instead.

"I'm sorry, the kids also want to go to the banquet to play...” Susan explained.

"It's okay." Julius picked up the kids, one on each arm, and replied with a smile, "I still need to thank them and you for going with me."

Seeing that Julius didn't mind it, Susan breathed a sigh of relief.

The Quintons had a rather special attribute.

They really loved holding banquets.

From Brook Quinton to Lara Quinton, the father-daughter duo were truly banquet maniacs, the Quintons would hold at least one medium-sized banquet every week, and there must be a large one every month.

Over time, the Quintons had become the entertainment center of Skyking City-many people even talked about business in the Quintons' mansion habitually.

This time at the banquet, Lara had been standing at the door a long time ago, looking out eagerly.

She received news from Susan in advance saying that she was coming to the banquet!

Her master is coming, of course, she could not neglect her at the banquet as an apprentice.

Lara tiptoed, stretched her neck, and waited for Susan to arrive at the door. Suddenly, an eye-catching sports car stopped beside her.
