“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
Julian’s gaze was so gentle that it felt like a fantasy.“Susan.” Julian looked deeply at her. “Are you crying?”“No,” she denied. “I…” Susan bit her lip without knowing how to rebuke. She did not know why she had to cry!He gazed deeply at her, and suddenly a flash of excitement appeared in his eyes. “Susan, are you crying because that Isla girl is here? You and me, are we…”Could he indulge the splinter of hope that Susan had fallen in love with him? He secretly hoped that Susan was actually
Susan looked at Julian’s back as he left and bit her lower lip hard.Julian was angry because no matter how much he detested his wife, he would not allow another man to be in her heart.Before this, she had been willing to accept his womanizing ways and be an obedient Mrs. Shaw. Now, however, she could not comprehend why she loathed it. Why did Julian request her to be like that when he had so many flings?“Susan, you’re crazy! Why are you being so calculative about this? He doesn’t like you and he has other women. Shouldn’t you be happy?” Susan mumbled.‘But what’s this sourness my heart is feeling?’ Susan dared not think further because her thoughts might manifest uncontrollably!When he returned to the master bedroom, Julian was even sulkier than before he left.Isla looked at him cautiously and posed seductively. “Chairman Shaw, let’s…”Julian glanced at her coldly and spat out, “Piss off into the bathroom.”Piss off?Isla was stunned and she forced a smile. “Chairman Shaw, where d
Ignoring the shock in Isla’s eyes, Julian walked out the door while embracing her.Sure enough, Susan had woken up and was in the living room.Julian took a glance at her, his face containing a trace of an evil smile. He stretched his hand out and lifted Isla’s chin. “Baby, you’re so beautiful.”Isla’s eyes lit up and her eyes flashed with joy. She could not help cooing delicately, “Chairman Shaw, you’re so naughty…”“Don’t you like it?” Julian deliberately got closer.Isla blushed. Whether one looked at him from near or from afar, Julian’s face was simply perfect. She would get struck by lightning if she missed a chance with a man as handsome and wealthy as him.Isla seized the opportunity and grasped onto Julian’s neck. Both of them stood so close as though they were kissing.Susan was walking out of the door when she saw that passionate scene between Julian Shaw and Isla Brown. Although she was prepared, she still felt the pinch in her heart.After drawing in a deep breath to suppr
