The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 573

Julian made a hasty escape with Willa in his arms. He had a look of eagerness on his face, and everyone could not help but feel shocked about it.

Leaning in Julian's embrace, a triumphant grin crossed Willa’s lips.

'Susan! I've won this time.'

There was a moment of silence in the hall even after Julian and Willa had left. All of them looked at the sobbing Chesney as they did not know what to say.

Everyone found it hard to believe when Susan and Chesney said it was Willa who stabbed herself.

After all, she had been stabbed in the stomach. If the knife went slightly to the center a little, the baby in her stomach would be gone.

There was no way Willa would do something so risky. Therefore, they were all more inclined to believe Willa's explanation. It was Susan who stabbed her, and Chesney was trying to cover up for her mom.

Everyone had their conclusion in their heart, but they did not say anything since both Susan and Chesney were from the Wrights.

"Don't cry, Chessie.” Lucas walked over and tightly held Chesney's hand.

"Luca, Daddy, Daddy doesn't want me and Mommy anymore," Chesney cried even harder.

It was not her but the bad aunty who was lying. Chesney couldn’t understand why her father and everyone did not believe her.

"Don’t be scared." A resolute expression was forming slowly on Lucas’s face. "I'll stay by your side forever, Chessie.”

At this moment, Chesney reminded Lucas of himself when his mother suddenly disappeared.

There was a voice shouting and screaming inside of him, telling him that he must protect the girl in front of him at all cost and that he must preserve her air of unsullied purity and innocence forever. She should wear that angelic smile of hers at all times, and she should never ever cry like this as sadness did not suit her at all.

Lucas took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the tear on Chesney’s face.

After being comforted by Susan and Lucas, Chesney was able to calm down a little.

"Let's go back," Julius suggested.

Susan pressed her lips tight and scooped Chesney up from the floor.

The four of them soon left the banquet.

It was only after they had disappeared that a heated argument broke out behind them.

The love and hate between Julian, Susan, Willa, and Julius was enough for them to talk for a few months.

Inside the car, Chesney had stopped crying. Perhaps she exhausted herself crying, but she fell asleep in Susan's arms. However, she was still unsettled, sleeping in fits and starts as she kept mumbling something under her breath.

Susan felt her heart was aching seeing her daughter like this, so she held her even tighter in her arms, trying to give her more warmth.

Julius took a look at them through the rearview mirror. Then, he said, "That Willa is truly one ruthless character."

Susan raised her head to meet Julius's eyes. "You believe it isn't me?"

Julius then replied seriously, "Of course I believe you. I think you should’ve stabbed her a long time ago, but I'm sure that you will admit it if it's really your doing. If you said you didn't do it, then that means you didn't do it."

Julius spoke resolutely.

Susan was washed by a surge of complex emotions.

A man she had just made acquaintances with for only a few days chose to believe her without any hesitation, while Julian...

Mixed emotions flooded Susan when she thought about the man.
