Chapter 441 I Will Get Her Back
Luna's remarks pierced Julian's heart like blades.
A hint of helplessness crossed Julian's weary eyes. Right now, he felt that his fake divorce proposal was truly a terrible idea.
Initially, he had thought this plan would be a win-win situation. However, Madam
Shaw was the only one who would benefit from this idea, while Susan and Chesney were getting the short end of the stick.
Luna's heart went out to Julian when she saw how despondent he was. Julian was quite a good man. It was just that she did not understand why his mother was like that. Shouldn't all parents want the best for their children? She had never come across a mother like Madam Shaw, who was so obsessed with pushing her own son into a tight corner.
That said, Luna still put the well-being of her daughter above everything else, no matter how much she sympathized with Julian.
Thus, she bit the bullet and said, “Since you have chosen between Madam Shaw and Susie, then you shouldn’t come and bother Susie anymore. Don’t worry, Susie and Chessie will be alright even without you by their side, Julian Shaw.”
Julian’s heart trembled. He looked at Luna and said, “I just want to see Susie again. Just a look will do.”
"What are you gonna do after that? Can you persuade Madam Shaw, or are you going to ask Susie to put up with her again?” Luna added calmly, "Julian, you know that Susie’s soft-hearted, so you’re taking advantage of that to make her see you again. However, ask yourself, what else can you give her in your current condition?
Nothing. Other than causing her more pain, there is nothing you could do for her, so why do you have to keep rubbing salt on her wounds again and again? Please, Julian, I beg you. Just leave and don't come to see Susie ever again. This way, maybe she will be able to move on from you and start a new life."
Julian felt his heart aching as though somebody was stabbing him with a knife. Susan would forget him and start a new life? The mere thought of Susan not being a part of the rest of his life made everything turn dark again.
No, there was no way he would allow that t o happen. He would never allow Susan to leave him.
However, what Luna had said was the truth. Before he could find a way to solve his problems, meeting Susan would only d o her more harm.
With that thought in mind, Julian took a deep breath and said, "I can promise you I won't come to see Susie again. However, I will not give up on her. When I am confident that nobody will harm her anymore, I'll come back to get her.”
"I think by the time you solve your problems, Susie might have already found her second love," Luna said flatly.
Julian’s eyes dimmed, but he did not say anything else. He glanced toward the stars and then turned around and left.
Luna had the servant bring him an umbrella, but by the time the servant returned with the umbrella, Julian had already disappeared into the rain.
Luna narrowed her eyes. Even though she had no idea what Julian was going to do, she would never allow Susan to go back to the Shaws with Julian so long as Julian had not found a way to
solve the matter regarding Madam Shaw. After all, there was no way her daughter would have to go through such an unfair treatment again.
"Madam Shaw has gone overboard this time,” George snarled, his eyes wide in rage He took his phone out, but just as he was about to make a call, Luna went forward and stopped him. "What the hell are you doing?”
"I just can't let it go. I must find someone and rough Madam Shaw up!" George said blatantly. "Since I can't do it myself, I’ll find someone else to do it for me."
Luna smacked George's head hard after listening to what he said. "You want to beat her up? Why don’t you just kill her instead? Wouldn't that be even better? I'm warning you, George. You better not poke your nose into the Shaws' affairs. I'm not only talking about you. You also have to tell Oliver, Anna, and Serenity as well. Tell them to stay put and not mess around."
Luna still remembered clearly when Oliver and Anna had snuck up on Madam Shaw's car and beaten her up. Even though she believed that Madam Shaw had deserved it, it was not noble to do this kind of thing every time. Other than bringing a moment's comfort, it would not do any good to the situation as a whole.
"Why..." George wanted to say something but swallowed his words back to the pit of his stomach when he saw Luna glaring at him.
After a short while, he began to speak again. "Alright, I won't find other people to rough her up. However, Luna, even if we don’t cause her trouble, what if she comes and causes us trouble?"
"Hah!" Luna sneered coldly. "Cause us trouble? When have we Wrights ever backed down from such a thing before?”
"I think I get what you mean." George's eyes lit up, and he began to look forward to the moment Madam Shaw showed up at their house.
After their conversation, Julian did keep his promise and did not come to see Susan again.
At Startech...
While holding his phone, Julian looked fondly at the screen. His phone was loaded with photos of Susan and Chesney's life with the Wrights.
He could see that the Wrights treated them very well. Even though Susan's face was pale, there was a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
The more Julian looked at the photos, the more his heart ached.
These photos had been given to him by Willa.
Susan had not stopped her treatment while she was staying with the Wrights. George knew about the virus and toxins in Susan's body. After Julian told him about that, he let Willa stay with them as well.
Susan had a good relationship with Willa, s o she was very happy to find out that Willa would be staying with them. Thus, Julian had asked Willa to send some photos of Susan and Chesney to him every day. It
was only because of the photos that he was able to keep going while his wife and daughter were not with him.
It had been three days since Susan had returned to the Wrights. Madam Shaw had been asking Julian to get the divorce agreement as soon as possible. However, Julian kept putting it off and he did not even want to answer her calls right now.
As a result, Madam Shaw went straight to the company. The moment she entered the company, she was stopped by the staff.
"Why are you stopping me? I want to see Julian," Madam Shaw said straight away.
The staff member at the reception was stunned for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses. She put on a sweet smile and asked, "Did you make an appointment with Mr. Shaw, madam?"
"Do I need to make an appointment to see m y own son?" Madam Shaw frowned in annoyance.
"But...” The staff member hesitated. Even though the woman in front of her said she was Julian's mother, she had never seen Julian’s mother before. However, judging from the imposing air about her, what if she was really Julian's mother? Wouldn't it be the end of her career if she stopped her from seeing Julian?
As the staff member did not know what to d o, two people walked in and her eyes glowed.
"Mr. Leed, Mr. Shelby, you've returned.”
"Oh? Did you miss me that much?" Seth walked up to the staff member with a smile on his face.
Disgusted, Jacob walked away from Seth.
Everyone in the company knew Seth very well. Thus, the staff did not take him seriously. The receptionist hastily said, "I need your help, Mr. Leed. The madam over here says that she's Mr. Shaw's mother."
"Hi, Seth. It's me." Madam Shaw greeted Seth.
"Oh, Madam Shaw? What brings you here today?" Seth was surprised to see Madam Shaw there.
“I'm here to see Julian," Madam Shaw replied.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
