Susan asked, “Is this even drinkable?”‘These things are aphrodisiacs! Who’s to know what happens if a girl drinks it?’Julian looked at her with a smile. “What do you think?”Speechless, she took a deep breath and said as if she was staring at death in the eye, “I’ll drink it!”“Good!” Julian grinned widely and fed the entire bowl of soup to Susan.After drinking all of the soup, she slumped on the sofa, feeling like a piece of salted fish. She could not even turn her body!Moreover, the medicinal herbs that Madam Shaw brought her were potent. She was feeling so energetic that she felt like running 3 kilometers outside.Julian had already taken a cold shower by then. He looked at Susan, who was paralyzed on the sofa, and a trace of an evil smile flashed in his eyes. “Mrs. Shaw, how’s it? How do you feel?”“I feel great!” she replied stubbornly.“Really? I don’t think so.” Julian revealed a devilish smile at the corner of his mouth.He walked over and lifted Susan up and tossed her on
The next day, Mama Jean woke up early to make breakfast. When she walked across the bedroom door, she heard an awkward conversation.“It’s not going to be painful. I’ll be gentle.”“Just relax.”“Don’t move. Turning back will affect my performance.”Mama Jean coughed and left quietly.‘The CEO’s wife looks usually elegant. I never thought she could be quite open sometimes...Ahem.’“Okay, done.”In the room, Susan looked at her masterpiece and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.Julian looked at the drawn tortoise on the back of his hand and then immediately turned to look for a glove. “Hey, hey, hey! We agreed that you can’t hide it for a day. If you wear a glove, you’re a sore loser.” Susan quickly stopped him.“You…” He glared at her angrily.Julian’s glance made Susan’s smile fade and she said carefully, “Wear it if you want to. I-I was just saying...”She could not help feeling annoyed. She somehow disregarded the level of authority. ‘Is Julian someone who I can joke with? Sus
After listening for a while, Susan’s expression changed drastically. “What? My elder brother’s symptoms worsened? I’m coming over now.”She grabbed her coat as she dashed outside.Julian frowned and gripped her arm. “What is it?”“The nursing home called and said they aren’t sure what triggered his schizophrenia symptoms to become more serious,” Susan said nervously, “I need to rush over now.”Knowing how important Jacob was to Susan, he immediately said, “I’ll send you.”She instantly nodded. “I’ll have to trouble you then.”Julian sent her to the nursing home as fast as he could. She rushed into the home once they reached. Her elder brother was the only family she had in this world.‘Brother, please be okay. Please be alright.’“Miss Shelby, you’re here!” The nurse was already waiting for her at the entrance. Once she saw Susan, she explained, “Something seems to have triggered Mr. Shelby this afternoon. He kept typing away on the keyboard. At first, we weren’t really concerned abou
Julian’s composure also reassured Susan.She bit her lower lip. “I...I want to go and look for my brother too.”“I’ll go with you.” Julian did not stop her and held her hand instead. His palms were very warm which helped quieten Susan’s fluttering heart.A single call from Julian had hundreds of people holding Jacob’s photo and searching within 80 kilometers of the nursing home.Julian brought Susan to go straight to the nursing home.“You were saying that Jacob’s condition suddenly changed yesterday,” Julian asked the nurse on duty, “Yesterday before his condition changed, what was he doing?”The nurse recalled for a while before saying, “Recently, Mr. Shelby could already do some simple reading. To help him recover as fast as possible, we regularly send a few copies of newspapers to his room. Before his condition worsened, Mr. Shelby was reading the newspapers as usual. Then, suddenly, his expression changed.”“Pass me those newspapers,” Julian said calmly.The newspapers quickly fou
At the Shaw residence, Jacob looked around and frowned. “Susan, this is not our house.”“Brother, I’ve already sold the old house,” Susan explained gently, “I’m married now, and this is my new house.”“New house?” Jacob hesitated, then nodded in agreement.She breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, she put Jacob to rest and walked over to Julian.“Julian, thank you...for today,” she said softly. If Julian had not been around today, she would not have known what to do.“Is your gratitude only verbal?” Julian raised an eyebrow.“Then...then what do you want?” She blushed slightly.“At least a kiss or something like that,” he just said casually, but suddenly Susan tiptoed and then kissed him lightly on the cheek.Julian’s pupils constricted.Susan had already returned to where she was standing and she looked at him shyly. “Is that enough?”Looking at her slightly pinkish complexion, Julian’s eyes flashed. He was longing to say that it was never enough.However, this was a good start. He had wai
“What is it?” Mandy turned to where Charlotte’s gaze went and saw someone who got on her nerves!“Susan Shelby!” Mandy gritted her teeth.“Do you know her?” Charlotte was surprised. Based on what she knew, Mandy could not have known Susan.“Not really. I’ve seen her a few times. She has some relationship with Julian Shaw,” Mandy simply said, but a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes.When things happened between Luke and Susan, Charlotte had been abroad. Therefore, she did not know that they were in a relationship, and Mandy also did not plan on telling her this.“Oh,” Charlotte responded but there was a surge of suspicion in her heart. Looking at Mandy’s expression, it seemed that she had seen Susan more than just a few times.However, Charlotte was not interested in that. She squinted. “Wasn’t there a man beside Susan just now?”“Yes.” Mandy’s lips revealed a smile and mocked, “She’s really a sl*t.”“Let’s go and have a look.” Charlotte had already stood up.Mandy naturally did not di
“Miss Jenkins, do you want to stay for dinner?” Julian looked at Charlotte pointedly.Charlotte was blushing at that point. Then, she said after a long while, “No, I don’t think so.”“Then, goodbye,” he said abruptly.“Wait!” Charlotte suddenly bit her lower lip, feeling dissatisfied.“Yes?” Julian raised an eyebrow.“Since...since this man is her elder brother, you should have known when I first sent you the photos, so why didn’t you tell me?” she asked.If Julian had told her that from the start, she would not have followed Susan the entire day and made a joke out of herself.“Why do I have to tell you?” Julian had an evil smirk on his face. “If I told you, you wouldn’t have updated me with her live location, would you?”“You…” Charlotte almost broke down. Julian had been toying with her!“Susan is waiting for me to have dinner. Goodbye,” he said again, then he turned around and went into the bungalow.At the Jenkins residence, Charlotte sulked when she got home.“Charlotte, come and
At the Shaw residence, Mama Jean had already prepared dinner.Julian looked at Susan and Jacob, who were having a laugh, and a smile emerged on his face.“Julian, you’re home. I bought a coat for my brother,” Susan said with a smile.“Oh.” Although Julian knew this from the live updates that Charlotte had fed him, he still felt slightly jealous. “And this shirt is for you.” Just when jealousy reared its ugly head, a blushing Susan passed him an intricate box. “I don’t know what your preference is, but see if you like it.”He had something too?Although Julian was overjoyed, he kept a straight face. “Woman, you only have good taste in choosing your husband. Other than that, your taste is still questionable.”“It’s okay if you don’t want it.” Susan became angry.“Are you taking back the present you just gave me?” Julian snorted. “I’ll take it since you’ve put the effort into buying this. I’ll wear it when I’m in a good mood.”The words this man used were so infuriating that Susan ignore
