The next day, airplanes roared while landing at the airport.Luke Jenkins waited outside. Not long after, a beautiful figure walked out. There were light curls on her head and the sunglasses that she wore covered half of her face.“Charlotte!” Luke waved.Charlotte Jenkins took off her sunglasses and smiled broadly. “Big brother.”“You came back earlier than I expected,” Luke said as he took her luggage.“It’s been 3 years. The business at the foreign branch has stabilized. The next step is to appoint a manager,” she said with a smile.Luke gave her a gentle look. “You’ve worked hard. I was supposed to be there.”“Don’t be silly. I volunteered to go,” said Charlotte. She suddenly asked, “Brother, do you know how Julian Shaw is doing?”His hand trembled and he looked at his sister. “Why are you suddenly asking about Julian Shaw?”Charlotte blushed. “Didn’t I tell you before? I like Julian Shaw.”“You like Julian Shaw? When was this?!” Luke was speechless.“All the while.” Charlotte was
Stunned, Susan said, “Julian is on a business trip.”“A business trip?” Charlotte frowned. “That’s such a shame.”“Is there anything important for him? Do you want me to give you his phone number?” Susan said warmly.“Why wouldn’t I have his number? Do I really need your nonsense?” Charlotte glanced coldly at Susan. “Also, I heard you calling him Julian. I call him Julian because we are intimate. You’re just a servant and you call him Julian? You really have no shame!”“I…” Susan went pale.“What?” Charlotte continued, “Julian doesn’t mind because he has a good temper, but you as a servant should be more self-aware and behave like how a servant should.”Charlotte Jenkins’s attitude was domineering. Susan pursed her lips and did not know how to rebuke. After all, Julian had said before that their marriage was a secret.The woman standing in front of Susan just declared that she was intimate with him and was probably...one of his many flings.Previously, when she looked at Julian’s fling
That damned woman!Julian gritted his teeth. ‘Doesn’t she feel anything in my absence?’“Chairman Shaw, the private jet is ready and we can take off anytime.” His personal assistant walked in.Julian stood up. “Good!”Forget about it. He would deal with the woman when he got home!It was midnight when Julian reached home and Susan was already sound asleep.Under the gentle moonlight, he stared at her beautiful sleeping face. The rage in him disappeared in an instant.Julian sat at the bedside with mixed emotions. Then, he gently touched her face.‘Susan, I only dare to look at you like this when you’re asleep. After all these years, I’m afraid that you’ve forgotten about the young boy, but you’ve been in my heart and I could never forget you since then.‘You really think that our marriage is a coincidence, an agreement, but you don’t know that I planned it painstakingly. However, Susan, if you don’t love me, all of this will forever be a secret.’He then lay down beside Susan, watching
“Julian, why are you standing there? Come in quickly,” Madam Shaw said.Julian walked over with Susan while Charlotte stood there as pale as a ghost, unable to show any expression on her face.Although she only dated Julian for a short period of time, she always thought that she was different compared to all of his other women.If it was fated for him to have a Mrs. Shaw, why could she not be that person?Three years of constant self-cultivation finally saw her return to capture this man’s heart. She had thought of a million scenarios of their meeting. However, none of them matched what was in front of her eyes.Julian had actually gotten himself a wife.Now, he was standing in front of her with his wife! The worst part was that she had boasted to Susan the day before.Now, Charlotte felt her face hurt at the thought of the words she said. Was she not now...the wild woman?Her expression seemed awful.If there was a hole in the ground, she would have crawled into it.“You have done we
“What is it?” Madam Shaw asked.Julian stood up as he spoke, “Something came up at the company. I’ve got to go.”“Go then. Work is important,” Madam Shaw nodded. “Then, I’ll leave with Susan. Next time, we shall…”Madam Shaw raised an eyebrow. “You can go alone since it’s about the company. Susan can stay back to accompany me. I’ll get somebody to send her home later.”Julian looked at Susan in hesitation.“Why? Are you still afraid that I’ll devour your wife?” Susan quickly said, “Julian, it’s okay. I also want to have a chat with Mom.”Julian thought about it and said, “Hmm, once I’m done with work I’ll come and pick you up.” After saying that, he left in a hurry.Madam Shaw said lightly, “Your relationship with Julian seems to be better than before.”“Yeah.” Susan’s back stiffened.Madam Shaw raised an eyebrow. “What are you nervous about? I’m happy if your relationship with him can further improve. No matter what, you’re still cleaner than his other women. Julian is a wild one. Y
“You’re really useless.” Madam Shaw put her teacup down and her voice became colder. “I don’t expect you to get Julian to turn over a new leaf. I only needed you to continue the bloodline of the Shaw family. Now, you can’t even accomplish such a small task. What would I need you for!?”Susan bit her lip and said softly, “Mom, I’m sorry.”“What’s the use of saying sorry? Just think of a way to settle Julian.” Madam Shaw’s anger grew when she saw Susan’s attitude of submitting meekly. “I...I’ll try my best.”“Your best again! It’s already more than a year, but Julian still doesn’t want to touch you. How can I trust you?” Madam Shaw got more annoyed. “Susan Shelby, if you can’t bear a child for the Shaw family, there are plenty of others who wish to.”She thought that Julian and Susan’s relationship had improved, but it looked like that was just a show!“Mom, I will really try my best,” Susan said softly.Madam Shaw replied impatiently, “Forget it. Look at yourself. Even I don’t find you
“I’ll tidy up the guest room for you.” Unable to look her in the eye, Susan turned around towards the guest room.“Wait.” Isla smiled. “The guest room needs to be tidied but not for me.”“What...do you mean?” Susan balled her fists slightly.Isla Brown stood up, revealing her model-like figure. She walked over to Susan and sneered down at her. “Didn’t you hear? Madam said that I need to get pregnant with Julian’s child. If I sleep in the guest room, how am I going to get pregnant with his child?”When Susan turned pale, Isla continued grinning. “Therefore, Mrs. Shaw, the person who should be sleeping in the guest room is you, not me.”Susan clenched her fists even tighter.Isla chuckled. “What is it? Are you refusing to, Mrs. Shaw? Then, do you need me to call Madam Shaw to see if…”“No, I’m willing to!” Susan cut her off. “I’ll sleep in the guest room. You...you can sleep in the master bedroom.”“That’s great.” Isla’s smile widened subconsciously. She looked at how cringy Susan was an
A smile appeared on Julian’s face.‘It’s so late that Susan has really fallen asleep.’Julian washed up and lay down on the bed. Once he nestled his body on the mattress, a warm body rolled into his arms.He was stunned but was pleasantly surprised. ‘Susan?’He thought that it was definitely Susan. Soon, his steady breath became a pant.“Susan, do you know what you’re doing?” His voice broke the silence and that person instantly stopped moving.However, quickly after that, she continued to gyra
