Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 174

Susan felt a little better after Julian’s promise. However, whenever she thought about Isabelle, she still felt disturbed as if there was a thorn in her heart.

Be that as it may, she chose to believe Julian. She was certain that he would never do any disservice to her, and that he must have his own reason for hiding it from her. Therefore, when Julian promised her that he would not interact with Isabelle anymore, she was willing to let the matter rest.

The next morning, Julian was already gone when she got up.

She then went downstairs. Madam Shaw had not woken up yet, and Susan only saw the servants bustling here and there.

She stopped a servant and asked, “Do you see Julian?”

The servant replied politely, “Mr. Shaw went for a morning run. I guess he’ll be back soon.”

“Morning run?” Susan was stunned. Julian would only go for a morning run when he was in a fret. Apparently, the things that happened yesterday had an impact on Julian as well.

“I’ll go check him out.” With that, Susan went out of the house.

When Julian was on his way back from his morning run, he saw a silhouette coming towards him from a distance and his eyebrows furrowed.

“Mr. Shaw,” Isabelle’s eyes shone when she saw Julian. She picked up her pace and went up to him.

“You’re early,” Julian said, his voice deep and cold.

As if she did not notice how flat and cold his voice was, Isabelle answered softly, “Madam Shaw tends to have serious migraines when she wakes up in the morning, so I have been coming here very early lately to give her a massage.”

Julian stared at her, his face bereft of any emotion. Then, with a frigid voice, he said, “Isabelle, keep in mind that my patience has a limit. Even if you’re Little Flower, there is something that you should never touch.”

She deliberately got close to his mother and tried to sow discord between him and Susan. Both of them were his Achilles' heels, and she should have never laid her finger on them.

"What's wrong, Julian?" Isabelle was taken aback by Julian. Her eyes immediately took on a hurt expression as she said, “Madam Shaw is not feeling well, and I happen to know a way to help her feel better. I just want to help.”

“Is that so?” Julian queried, “In that case, why don’t you hand over your massage technique and prescription? So that when you’re gone, I can get other people to help my mom.”

Julian was stunned. Indeed, Madam Shaw’s complexion had become better recently, and it was all Isabelle’s effort. However, that was a horse of a different color. Julian put on a calm expression and replied, “I guess I have made it pretty clear myself. You can’t take the words of a child too seriously, and you have to put down the things that happened during our childhood.”

Isabelle’s tears flowed even more. “I’m not trying to ruin your relationship with Susie, and I don’t need you to love me back. I just want to stay by your side and share your worries. I know that you think I have been talking bad about Susie in front of your mother, but you can go and ask your mother. You can ask her, have I ever badmouthed Susie in front of her? I sincerely hope that you and Susie can lead a happy life. This is because your happiness is my happiness.”

Isabelle gazed affectionately at Julian, but Julian’s brows furrowed even deeper.

He wanted to make a clean break with Isabelle, and he thought that the 5 million was more than enough to do the job.

But now…

Isabelle was taking care of his mother, and things had become even more complicated.

Julian narrowed his eyes and he made a decision in his heart. He asked, “Name a price, Isabelle. You deserve a reward for taking care of my mother.”

Isabelle was stunned for a moment, and a painful expression crawled upon her face. “Are you trying to push me away with money again?”
