The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 85

Julian Shaw's gaze deepened at once.

He looked at Susan Shelby’s delicate facial features and found his voice turn hoarse ever so slightly when he spoke, "Susie, are you certain that you want to know?"

He stared at Susan so attentively that his eyes seemed to be reflecting the starry sky.

Their engagement appeared to be Julian marrying Susan because he was compelled by Madam Shaw on the surface.

Yet, no one knew how much effort he put into it and how many tricks he used just to accomplish this goal.

He did everything only because of one reason.

He loved her.

He had already loved her for a very, very long time when she had no idea he did.

Julian's gaze looked rather strange. For some unknown reason, Susan's heart was beating wildly.

She pursed her lips and avoided Julian's gaze and tried to speak with a voice that made her appear calm, "It's okay. I don't need to know. Anyhow, our paths won't cross much from now on." "Are you leaving me?" Julian grabbed Susan's arms with rage rippling through his eyes.

He was so anxious and bewildered when he found out that this woman was leaving. Even he had no idea how he pulled through the few hours that he spent looking for her.

He was really scared. 1

He did not know how he would live his life if Susan whom he found with great effort were to disappear forever.

Yet, the result was that the woman left him and lived a great life. 1

The woman was not only not saddened by the fact but she boldly attempted to live under the same roof with a single man.

Julian simply felt like he was being cheated on.

Susan looked at Julian with a slightly dazed gaze.

She had no idea why Julian was furious at this exact moment.

However, the man had always been unpredictable.

Susan pursed her lips, then she spoke in a feigned carefree manner, "We are supposed to be two parallel lines that will never intersect one another. Even though there are some deviations in our paths, the deviations have been corrected by now, and we will be returning to our original positions sooner or later." "Parallel lines?” Julian grunted coldly. "Try to move parallelly if you have the courage, whether or not you believe that I will bend you into a curved line?"

"You..." Susan felt that she was at a loss of whether to cry or laugh. She tried to calm herself with great effort before saying, "Julian, I married you to stop your bad luck. The talk of stopping bad luck is abstruse and I don't believe it much anyway. I'm indebted to your kindness for helping my brother for the past year. I know that you already have someone you love in your heart and you're only marrying me because Madam Shaw insisted on that. Now, Madam Shaw granted you permission to end this marriage. This is an exoneration for both you and me. Also, I've already penned an acknowledgment of debt for my brother's medical bills which I will try to return the money to you as soon as possible." 1

Julian could not be bothered to listen to the talks of money at all.

He could only remember one word! 2

Exoneration!

So it turned out that this was how she viewed the matter.

Julian's pupils constricted abruptly.

He was anxious and restless after finding out that his mother was deliberately making things difficult for her in fear that she would be sad.

Yet, he met her and saw that she was so calm as if nothing had happened.

In fact, she had even called it an exoneration.

Julian came with enthusiasm and yet at this very moment, the warmth of his enthusiasm was cooled by the word 'exoneration'.

His voice turned colder when he said, "That's right. Susan, you’re very capable. Even after the divorce, you still have Luke from the Jenkins who is not over you. Seth has been friends with me so many years and he too is seduced by you. I can tell from these incidents that my mother is right about you being a promiscuous
