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

Chapter 409 Mommy, You’re So Cool When You Quarrel

Even though she had always despised Susan Shelby, there was nothing she could do because Julian Shaw loved her.

She could refrain from fussing over the incident in the past for the sake of Julian.

Her only demand now was that Susan would give birth to her second child as soon as possible. This demand was not considered overly excessive, right?

Madam Shaw appeared to have made up her mind to live with them.

Julian furrowed his brows. He was about to say something when Susan squeezed his hand and smiled. "Mom, let's get in the house first. It's Chessie's birthday today. She has grown so much, yet she has never met you before. She will certainly be very happy to meet you later.”

Madam Shaw nodded nonchalantly. "I shall meet her then."

The servants came forward to pick up Madam Shaw's luggage while Madam Shaw walked between Julian and Susan calmly.

In the meantime, a bustling scene was taking place in the living room of the villa.

Chessie was riding George Wright’s neck and chuckling endlessly from delight.

"Be careful. You must be careful, George." Luna nagged him incessantly from the side.

Everyone else was focused on the little princess as well. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Chesney was an adorable girl, and they were busy usually. This was a rare occasion for them to gather for Chesney's birthday, so they were naturally subservient to her every wish now.

Madam Shaw saw people clustering around a girl when she entered the room.

She furrowed her brows. All of a sudden, she let out a heavy cough.

The group of people looked over and the room turned quiet.

"Madam Shaw." Luna remarked nonchalantly, "You’re here to attend Chessie's birthday party, right?

Welcome, welcome."

"Grandma, who's that?" It was the first time Chesney was meeting Madam Shaw, so she could not help expressing her confusion.

"Chesney, call her Nana." Susan continued this topic o f conversation.

"Nana!” called out Chesney obediently at once. She looked adorable.

Madam Shaw looked at Chesney, but her expression did not take a favorable turn. She looked at Susan and said coldly, "What have you been teaching her all these years? Chessie is a big girl now, yet you still allow her to behave crazily like this? She's a young maiden and she is still riding a man’s neck. Why haven't you gotten her down yet?"

As soon as Madam Shaw spoke, she did not show any courtesy by choosing her words carefully.

The entire group’s expressions changed ever so slightly without them noticing.

Chesney was already capable of noticing the emotions of adults at her age. She could feel that Nana did not seem to like her very much.

Chesney had grown up in a sweet, loving environment for the past few years and had basically never experienced any form of grief.

Madam Shaw did not like her and had even criticized her mother. Chesney's eyes reddened with grief at once.

"Nana, why are you scolding my mommy?” Chesney looked at Madam Shaw sullenly.

"I'm a senior member of the family, so why can't I scold her?" Madam Shaw furrowed her brows.

“You're not a senior member of the family," Chesney said straightforwardly. "Senior members of the family are gentle and polite like grandpa and grandma.

You’re so fierce that you’re certainly a bad person. Daddy, I don’t like this bad person. Let's chase the bad person away."

Chesney's kid talk infuriated Madam Shaw.

Just as expected, she was not fated to be on good terms with Chesney.

Madam Shaw did not wish to lose her temper around a child so she could not help glaring at Susan furiously. "I’m a bad person? I bet you taught her that, right?"

Julian shielded Susan and said right away, "Mom, it’s Chessie’s birthday today. If you're here to celebrate Chessie’s birthday, stay. If not, why don't I take you somewhere else?"

"Julian!” Madam Shaw was enraged. "You can't be so ignorant regarding what's right and wrong. I've just stepped into the house and Chessie is accusing me of being a bad person. If this was not taught by Susan, then this child must have been born with ill intentions! You might end up in trouble if you're always doting on the mother and daughter. Make way, Susan must apologize to me properly for this incident!"

Madam Shaw felt that since she planned to stay long, she certainly had to build her prestige as the mother-i n-law first. 1

"Make way, Julian.” Susan shoved away Julian instantly. Her originally gentle, graceful face looked as cold as ice now.

She had assumed that Madam Shaw would change after three years. In the beginning, Susan had adopted a mild temperament, but it felt as if Madam Shaw did not appreciate her effort at all.

Susan did not mind suffering an injustice herself but she would never allow her daughter to be aggrieved! Chessie had been bullied to the point of crying!

Thus, she needed not show courtesy anymore.

"What do you still have to say for yourself?" Madam Shaw looked at her. "Chessie called me a bad person a s soon as she met me. What have you actually been teaching her?"

Susan scoffed coldly. "A child’s senses are always the sharpest. Rather than thinking about what I’ve taught her, why don't you think about your behavior properly and consider if you're behaving like a senior member o f the family? Chessie rarely gets to celebrate her birthday and fool around for a while. Even a stranger would know better than to be a party pooper and ruin everyone's good mood. You lectured her as soon as you appeared. Do you feel that you’re acting like a senior member of the family?"

"I... How am I not acting like a senior?" Madam Shaw was furious. "I'm her Nana."

"Heh heh! Nana! How many times have you seen Chessie so far? Have you held her even once? Oh, you did. The only time you held her was the time you almost killed Chessie!" The more Susan talked, the more infuriated she felt. "You popped out suddenly out of nowhere and started calling yourself a senior member of the family! I'd like to know where you found the courage to do so!"

Susan had not been mad at anyone for many years.

Madam Shaw was very capable too. She had managed to agitate the usually gentle-mannered Susan as soon as she had appeared.

"You..." Madam Shaw was so angry that she could not help glaring at Julian in rage. "Julian, check out her attitude!"

"You don't need to drag Julian into this." Susan stopped her from speaking right away. "You almost caused me and Chessie to die and I still didn’t make Julian break off his relationship with his mother. I also never stopped Julian from seeing you in Ningcheng City. You are shouting at Julian at will, but what are you trying to achieve? You may think that you're making life difficult for me, but you’re actually making life difficult for Julian."

Susan made her final remarks expressionlessly, walked over, and picked up Chesney.

Chesney leaned against Susan's arms and said softly," Mommy, you’re so cool when you quarrel.”

Even though Chesney did not understand the content of the quarrel, she knew that her mother was defending her and that was enough.

Susan lowered her head just in time to meet her little daughter's shiny eyes.

Susan could not help smiling. All in all, no one was allowed to bully her daughter.

After hearing Susan's remarks, Madam Shaw was indecisive. It had not been right on her part to call for Julian, and it would not be right not to do so either. Her entire body was frozen in the same spot.

Julian heaved a sigh. "Mom, how about I take you to the villa nearby first?"

"How is that alright?" Madam Shaw said right away. "I said that I’m going to stay here."

She pondered it for a moment and then softened her tone. "It's Chessie's birthday today. I've actually brought a gift for the child too."
