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

Chapter 462 If Not Julian, Then Who

Susan Shelby could not help being stunned ever so slightly.

Ever since Madam Shaw's poisoning incident, Willa Doyle had been supporting her unconditionally. However, Willa had never inquired about the extent of her fight with Julian.

Today was the first time she had ever inquired.

Susan was stunned as a look of embarrassment flashed past Willa’s gaze.' I'm sorry, this is a private matter. I shouldn't have asked about it. I... I don’t have anything else to say. I'll leave.”

Willa turned around. She was about to leave, but Susan held on to her and said softly, “It’s fine. This is not anything that I can't tell others. I’m not fighting with Julian. I just feel that both of us need some time to evaluate our relationship properly."

"Susie!" Willa suddenly sounded anxious." It's true that Madam Shaw went too far, but Julian has already tried his best to solve the issue. He is a really, really good man, so don't lose him because of stubbornness. Otherwise, you will certainly regret it in the future.”

Willa's tone sounded so agitated that Susan could not help being astonished.

Realizing that her tone had gone too far, Willa took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry for being a busybody."

Susan shook her head. "No, I know better than anyone else that Julian is a really good man."

"So why are you..." Willa looked at Susan anxiously.

Susan smiled bitterly. "Let’s just say that I’m unable to get through this myself."

"He really..." Willa clenched her teeth." Susie, Julian really loves you, and I hope that you will seriously consider taking him back and letting yourself off."

"I will give it serious consideration," said Susan.

"Aright... I shall take my leave now." Willa appeared to be relieved as she turned around and left in a rush.

Susan gazed after Willa’s departing silhouette with a strange gaze in her eyes.

Willa seemed to be a little unlike her usual self today.

No, she had actually always been a little strange when it came to this matter. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Willa was her friend. Since she had noticed that Willa was not behaving like herself, Susan could not just brush this matter aside.

She considered it for a moment and then walked out of her room and headed to Willa's room.

She was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard an indistinct voice coming from the room. The door had actually been left unlocked.

"Will...” Susan was about to call out to Willa when she suddenly heard Willa's trancelike voice.

"No, I can't be thinking like this. Susie is m y friend. How can I..."

"But Susie is saying that she won't forgive Julian for the rest of her life. If they don’t ever reconcile, could I have to wait for the rest of my life too?" "No, I can’t. Calm down, Willa! Even if Susan and Julian aren't together anymore, you still shouldn't covet your friend's man."

"But you’ve been in love with him for so many years after all..."

Willa talked to herself incessantly.

Susan's hand was frozen on the door, but she could not bring herself to knock.

A look of astonishment flashed past her eyes.

Did this mean that Willa was actually in love with Julian?

An ineffable feeling welled in Susan's heart involuntarily!

Just as expected, a person like Julian never lacked women's love.

Susan could not help pursing her lips upon seeing Willa in a dilemma.

Even though there was a ridge that she could not cross between her and Julian, she already regarded Willa as a friend. Her friend was actually in love with her husband. This made Susan feel a wave of complicated emotions in her heart.

However, she did not intend to charge into the room.

She believed that Willa's feelings for Julian should be kept a secret. Since Willa had not revealed this to her, she would just act as if she was unaware of it.

Susan left with mixed feelings.

All of a sudden, she heard Willa's voice say: n a dilemma, "Should I go and meet him tomorrow then?"

Susan could not help stopping herself before she could walk away.

Meet him?

Meet who?

Julian?

"If I were to meet him, I would disappoint Susie... If I don't... I rarely get asked out... Besides, if he were to leave Susie, I, I'd still stand a chance, right?" Willa’s voice was now shaking a little.

Susan's body tensed up, and her hands began clenching tightly without her noticing.

Julian... had asked Willa out?

He had made a move on her so quickly?

Willa continued to mutter to herself, but Susan could no longer hear her clearly. She had no idea how she made it back to her room in a daze, but she went to wash u p and then went to bed in a daze.

One thought reverberated in her mind.

Julian had asked Willa out.

Why had he asked Willa out? Were the two o f them purely former schoolmates?

Countless speculations surged from the depths of Susan's mind, driving her crazy.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "How is the matter with Julian related to me? Anyhow, it's already impossible for me to be with him again. He can be with whoever he wants next. Right, this is the way to go."

Susan consoled herself and forced herself t o close her eyes.

Unfortunately, her mind was still playing these scenes although she had closed her eyes.

Susan was utterly incapable of falling asleep that night.

The next morning, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Willa preparing to leave the house with delicate makeup on her face.

Susan’s heart raced involuntarily as she looked at Willa's splendid attire.

"Susie." Willa cracked a sweet smile at Susan. "You're awake?"

"Hmm," answered Susan. Then, she pretended to be carefree and asked, "Willa, you've dressed up so nicely today. Are you going to meet up with an important person?"

Willa's expression turned into a shy smile." It's true, I’m meeting a very important person."

Susan's hand shook ever so slightly, but she did not make any further comments.

Willa took a glance at her watch. "Susie, it's about time. I shall get a move on now."

Willa turned around and left.

Susan began struggling violently in her heart.

Was the person that Willa wanted to meet Julian?

Susan shoved away this idea ferociously as soon as it emerged in her mind.

'Susan, stop making blind assumptions already. You made the decision to let go of Julian, so what right do you have to stop him from searching for happiness?'

'Whoever Julian wants to meet next and whoever he wants to be with is utterly unrelated to you!'

Susan thought about this incessantly in her mind, yet her curiosity made her chase after Willa in secret.

Willa’s car had just left the premises when Susan immediately ordered the driver to follow her from a safe distance.

She followed her all the way to a park.

When Willa got out of the car, Susan kept following her subconsciously.

As she was following Willa, she scolded herself. Even if Willa was going to meet Julian, how was that related to her? Why had she allowed herself to be caught in a dilemma?

Susan scolded herself but did not stop following Willa.

All of a sudden, Willa stopped at a certain spot and Susan stopped walking subconsciously as well. Then, she hid behind a rock.

It did not take long before Susan’s body tensed up involuntarily.

A man walked over slowly. If it was not Julian, then who was it?
