The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 57

Just when Charlotte Jenkins was feeling embarrassed beyond comparison, the sound of someone knocking o n the door was heard.

She immediately stood up. "Let me get the door.”

The door was opened. Madam Jenkins and Mandy Ainsley helped support Luke Jenkins. They were all standing outside the door.

Charlotte shifted her gaze immediately to glance at Madam Jenkins in secret.

Madam Jenkins nodded in a barely noticeable manner. The corners of Charlotte's lips curled up into a smile.

'Susan, let’s see how you’re going to compete for Julian against me after today!'

Charlotte suppressed her emotions and shouted in excitement, "Luke, you're awake."

Luke nodded, his gaze aimed straight toward the area inside the room.

There was only Julian Shaw in the room. He could not see Susan's silhouette at all.

"Where's Susie?" Luke could not refrain from asking.

"You’re asking me?" Julian pulled a long face.

'Luke, are you here to show off to me? Susan spent all night taking care of him and now he's here to look for her?' 1

Madam Jenkins hastily said, "Julian, didn't Susie spend the entire night with you yesterday?"

"That's right. I took care of Luke throughout the night. I don't know what happened outside but both of you ought to be together, right?” Mandy soon said afterward.

Julian squinted his eyes to look at Madam Jenkins before he looked to Mandy.

The expressions on these people's faces revealed how anxious they were.

Julian could not help smirking and said nonchalantly, "Of course. Susie is my woman. If she's not with me, who else can she be with?"

Madam Jenkins and Mandy could not help but feel relieved by his answer.

The reason why they had the courage to utter such a lie was because they believed that Julian would surely work with them.

However, they still felt rather anxious in their hearts anyhow.

They finally felt at ease upon realizing that Julian did not refute their statement now.

Luke pursed his lips tightly with a trance-like gaze in his eyes.

So, the person from the night before...was Susie not there for real?

Luke clenched his teeth and said slowly, "So where is Susie? Where is she then?"

Julian took a glance at Madam Jenkins. "I would like t o know the answer to this question too.”

Susan was supposed to be accompanying Luke yet now that Luke was awake, Susan had gone missing instead! What the heck was going on!

Madam Jenkins had an astonished expression on her face. "No one knows huh? Here, I'm going to order the servants to look around. I will order them to come and inform me immediately if they find Susan."

Madam Jenkins left to make arrangements swiftly.

Julian walked over to Madam Jenkins with squinted eyes. He said in a deep voice, "What kind of game are you trying to play here? Where the hell is Susie?”

Madam Jenkins looked over to Luke and noticed that he was not paying attention to them. She lowered her voice without noticing and said, "Master Shaw, I really have no idea. Luke had already come out of the woods two hours ago. At the time, the doctor sent her home t o rest first. I thought that she would surely come to find you. When I found that she was not with you earlier, I was very confused as well. However, don't you worry. The villa is only as big as it is. It’s still very easy for us to locate a person."

Julian gazed at Madam Jenkins calmly and saw that she had a composed look without the slightest ounce o f nervousness in her.

"That's for the best then." Julian said in a deep voice, "I f you were to do anything to Susie..."

"Susie is the savior of our Luke. How can I bring myself to do anything to her, hm?!" Madam Jenkins exclaimed.

Julian pulled a long face without saying anything. Yet for some unknown, he could feel an ominous presentiment creeping into his heart soon afterward.

"I shall look for Susie myself." Julian walked outside expressionlessly.

"I shall go too." Luke stood up as well.

"Wait..." Madam Jenkins was about to persuade him when a servant walked over to them.

"Madam, may I inquire if you're looking for Ms. Shelby?"

"Yes, have you seen her around?"
