The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 89

The Shaws.

Luke stopped his car in a secluded spot. He waited for a long while, yet no one came out or went into the mansion.

His finger hovered above the keyboard of his phone as he fell into pensive rumination.

He had promised that he would not contact Susan anymore. No matter how much both of them loved each other, it was ruined the moment his dad passed away. And now, both he and Susan had their own families.

He knew he should not make the call, but when the thought of Susan bearing those vicious rumors alone, he could not place down his phone.

After he spent another moment in contemplation, his fingers began to move. Although he had deleted Susan's phone number, it was something that couldn't be forgotten.

From the moment he regained his memory, everything about Susan was so familiar and difficult t o forget.

The call connected and his heart spurred into a flurry. He did not know whether Susan had already changed her phone number or not.

Holding the mouse, Susan was working on her design draft. Suddenly, her phone rang, prompting her to shift her eyes away from her computer to her phone, and then she froze.

The phone number belonged to Luke.

Ever since he lost his memory, he had not called her anymore, so what made him call her today?

Susan hesitated for a moment, but she still answered the call in the end.

There was no sound from the other side of the phone.

Susan pressed her lips tight and did not speak as well. After all, she had no idea what she should talk about.

After a long while, Luke opened his mouth and shattered the impasse. "Are you okay, Susie?”

It was just a normal greeting, yet it did not hinder Susan from detecting the apparent trembling in his voice.

Susan felt a strange feeling rising up from her heart. She pitched her voice low and answered the question, " Yeah, I’m fine."

"Susie, I already know about the post." Luke said, "It's my mom and Charlotte's fault this time. I apologize to you for them."

Susan shook her head. "It's okay."

She had unutterable guilt for the Jenkins. After all, the death of Richard Jenkins was related to her. As such, she did not feel strange even if Madam Jenkins and Charlotte hated her or even tried to make things hard for her.

"Don't worry. That person will come out and help you clear your name," Luke said.

"Luke..." Susan was stunned. It appeared to her that Luke must have done something behind the scenes, or else he would not say something like this.

She bit her lips. She did not understand why Luke still wanted to help her when she was the one who caused his father’s death.

Susan fell silent, and Luke seemed to understand the reason behind her silence. His voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Susie, even if we can’t b e together anymore, protecting you and making you happy is the most important thing in my life." 1

Susan's heart skipped a beat. There was too much love in Luke's words.

She pressed her lips thin and said in an undertone," Thank you, Luke. But you have a wife. You should take care of your wife, not me."

After a long while, Luke replied, his voice was thick with pain, "I know."

Susan dared not to talk to him for too long, so she hastily said, "Anyway, I appreciate your help, Luke."

Then, she hung up the call.

There were too many things between her and Luke.

Since the hand of fate had pushed them apart, it was better if they refrained from seeing each other.
