Chapter 116 Return To The Company
Chapter 116 Return To The Company
"What's going on?" Susan Shelby glared at him.
Julian Shaw could not refrain from laughing." Nothing, I'll help you pack."
"Hmph,” Susan grunted coldly and she could not help but feel like she was in despair.
She wanted to resist still!
However, Seth's condo felt rather packed with four people living in it.
Any minute sound or activity in the house could be heard by everyone else.
The situation would still be acceptable if Julian exercised some self-restraint.
Yet, he only intensified his actions.
"I'm going to tell my brother so he can pack up his things too," said Susan.
"Hold on!" Julian's expression turned unpleasant at once. "Is your brother moving back to our place with u s too?"
"Of course," Susan nodded deservingly. "The house is more spacious so there won't be much of an effect anymore."
Julian said, "...Can I still make it if I downsize the villa now?"
Susan replied by rolling her eyes.
However, when Susan went to see Jacob discuss moving back, Jacob considered it for a moment before rejecting her.
"Jacob, what's going on?" Susan felt rather astonished.
Jacob looked at Susan in all apparent seriousness." Susie, I don’t have anything else in my memories other than you. It feels like there are many things that you know clearly that I will never know."
"Jacob, don’t rush it. You will regain your memories slowly,” said Susan hastily.
Jacob curled his lips into a smirk. "It's too slow for me to wait for my memories to recover. I might as well learn everything all over again. Susan, I talked to Seth about many things recently. Even though he told me many things that I still haven't figured out, I know that you and Julian are very much in love now."
"Jacob, what are you trying to say?" Susan could not help blushing.
"You are a married couple so you ought to live in an independent space. I won't be staying with you." Jacob spoke seriously, "Moreover, I am working with Seth to develop a system. It has already reached its crucial stage so it's better for me to continue living here so it’s more convenient for us to work things through." "Yet..." Susan was getting a little anxious.
She knew that she could never be at ease knowing that she would be leaving behind Jacob alone.
Seth was such a careless person. How could he take care of another man! She would not be able to live with herself in case anything happened to her brother.
Jacob cracked into a smile that revealed his pearly whites. "Alright, you're only moving back. It’s not like you’re never coming over again. Susie, don't worry. I can take care of myself."
Jacob smiled but his tone of speech sounded extremely determined.
"But..."
Susan wanted to speak but Jacob rubbed her head affectionately. "Susie, no buts. I’m your brother so you should listen to me."
An ineffable feeling clutched Susan's heart for a fleeting moment.
Jacob was becoming more and more like the elder brother that protected her in her memories.
Perhaps, her elder brother would not need her care anymore soon.
She was supposed to be happy about this, yet on the contrary, she felt an ineffable sorrow in her heart.
Under Jacob's urging, Susan and Julian returned to the villa together the next day.
Mama Jean was delighted to see them. "Sir and madam, dinner is about to be served. I'll bring out the soup first."
Mama Jean left in a rush.
Susan could not help feeling a sea of complicated emotions wash over her when she saw the same house with the same decor.
Susan was in a rather anxious mood so Julian could not help looking at her. “What's going on?”
Susan chuckled bitterly. "I was only thinking if I'll be driven away from this house again one day."
Julian raised an eyebrow. "This is your house. Who can drive you away from here now?"
Susan looked at Julian and pursed her lips suddenly." Julian, why are you treating me so kindly all of a sudden?"
She found that she was being a little too happy these days so she was becoming slightly restless on the contrary.
Julian transferred so many assets to her just like that.
Was he really not fearful that he would end up losing his money and woman?
Julian gave Susan a hug upon seeing her anxious look. Then, he said softly to her, "Am I really thinking that I treat you well? Yet, I constantly feel that my effort is still far from enough, Susie."
There was a deep love contained in his voice that could not be concealed.
Susan's slightly tense body relaxed down gradually.
The corners of her lips had also cracked into a smile.
Perhaps, this place could truly be her home this time?
She wondered if she could look forward to being eternally happy like this from now on?
Mama Jean served the soup and she called out to Susan and Julian to have dinner smilingly.
The aromatic steam of the rice and dishes spiraled upward, and the person seated next to her was coincidentally the person in her heart.
Susan felt that no one could be happier than she was now.
The design competition was delayed due to the incident with Sheldon Parsons and Lily Chainwest.
The main organizer had to communicate with the venerable senior designer urgently. Even though they had already begun to glimpse the situation, they had yet to settle the discussion fully.
The thirty participants including Susan could only await further instructions.
It was always rather difficult to endure the waiting time.
Julian suggested for Susan to return to her old job straightforwardly upon seeing how bored she was.
Firstly, she was supposed to be working as an interior designer at Lanyard Construction. Thus, the work would not affect her performance in the competition but on the other hand, it would help improve her practical skills.
Secondly, she wanted to get first place to vent her pent up anger earlier. She wanted Madam Shaw to know that she could still be an outstanding interior designer without depending on Lanyard Construction.
However, Susan found that it was meaningless for her to act out of rage like this anymore.
Madam Shaw's perception could not affect her nor Julian anymore.
If this was the case, why was there a need for her to live in the shadows of Madam Shaw?
The next day, Julian and Susan headed to Lanyard Construction together. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Susan was preparing to get down from the car when they were still some distance away from the company.
Yet, Julian continued to drive the car.
"Aren't you going to stop the car?" Susan looked at him.
In the past, Julian had always stopped at this spot. Susan would walk over to the company for the following path.
"Why?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "Are you
embarrassed about your husband, which is me?"
Susan’s face blushed ever so slightly at once.
What was Julian’s intention? Was he going to make their relationship known to the public?
She suddenly felt rather anxious for some unknown reason.
At the door of Lanyard Construction.
Susan suddenly found that she was at a loss of how to step forward!
Should she step out with her left foot or right foot first?
"Why don't I come to work tomorrow?" Susan took a glance at Julian weakly.
Julian was stupefied. He extended his wrist to her straightaway. "Hold this!"
"That's not very nice, isn’t it... Everyone’s watching..." Susan felt rather awkward.
"Woman!” Julian squinted his eyes. "You..."
"I! I will enter by myself.” Susan let out a cough, raised her leg, and entered through the door in a rush, leaving Julian behind.
Julian was speechless,"..."
Was it a very difficult thing for this freaking woman to make their relationship known to the public?
