Julian got into the car and sped his way home.
His only thought at that moment was to meet Susie as soon as possible and tell her the entire truth.
His hand was still shaking as he held the steering wheel.
He just had one single thought at that moment: ‘Faster!’
He was indeed too impatient to meet Susie.
He parked the car at the entrance of the mansion and rushed into the mansion as soon as possible.
It was a holiday. Susie did not usually like to head out. She should be at home now.
Julian entered the mansion and started looking for her.
She was neither in the living room nor the bedroom. He still could not see where she was after looking for her in the mansion.
Julian could not help but look at Mama Jean. “Mama Jean, have you seen Susie?”
“Mrs. Shaw? She was still here this morning. Maybe she went out for a walk.” Mama Jean glanced around. Then, she said, “But it’s almost time for lunch. She will be home soon.”
“I’ll call her.” Julian could wait no more. He took out his phone and called her up.
Surprisingly, her phone was switched off.
Did her phone run out of battery?
He was slightly confused, yet he had no choice but to wait for the time being.
He returned to the bedroom and glanced around casually. Then, he noticed something all of a sudden.
It seemed like there was something on the table.
Julian walked over.
Then, there was a deep frown between his eyebrows.
‘The ring… and the marriage certificate.’
There was even a piece of paper underneath those things.
Julian soon had a bad feeling about it.
Did Susan...
Julian shoved both the marriage certificate and ring away quickly.
After that, he saw the divorce agreement underneath it.
‘A divorce agreement!
‘How dare she!’
Julian scanned through the document swiftly. The content suggested that she would transfer the ownership of all her properties to him.
He could not help but clench the paper tightly.
‘It’s the second time!’
She mentioned divorce for the second time.
She was forced to do so the first time by his mother. But she still promised to divorce him without any hesitation.
This time around, she took the initiative and decided to divorce him.
She gave him up easily in both instances.
Did she not love him deeply?
Julian peeked at the table and realized that there was a letter underneath it.
He tore it open.
“Julian, I told you never to lie to me. You claimed that you didn’t go and meet Isabelle. But you’ve had close contact with her recently. You lied to me multiple times just because of her. I once lied to myself that it was nothing but just a misunderstanding. You must have your reasons. But still, I couldn’t deceive myself. I told you once that I couldn’t bear to have a flawed love. Since you’re still hesitant as to who to choose, let me make the final decision for you. Julian, let’s get a divorce.
“I took the initiative to leave you this time around. You don’t have to be guilty about it. Besides, don’t worry about the company. I’ll leave after I’ve completed the design on the resort project. In fact, this is our shared effort. Lastly, I wish you happiness with Isabelle.”
Julian read the letter rapidly. Then, his hands started to tremble inevitably. There was only one single thought echoing in his mind now.
Susan was going to leave him for real this time around.
Unexpectedly, she thought that he admired Isabelle.
How could that be possible?
“Will she? That’s good…” Julian breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he grabbed a stool and sat beside Jacob.
“What are you doing?” Jacob glared at him. “You’ll disturb my work.”
“You can continue with your work. I won’t disturb you,” Julian said calmly.
Even if he had to act shamelessly, he cared not for that as long as he could find where Susan was.
Since Susie would be contacting Jacob, he would wait for that patiently there.
“No way even if you keep quiet,” Jacob was annoyed. “Susie told me not to tell you anything. She’ll be angry if you’re here.”
“Susie asked you not to tell me anything, isn’t that right?” Julian raised his eyebrows. “You do indeed tell me nothing. When Susie contacts you later on, I’ll be standing here watching. Consider it as bumping into it myself. It’s unrelated to you.”
“You…” Jacob thought for a short while. “That won’t do. Susie is unwilling to meet you.”
Julian was engulfed in a deep bitterness.
Even Jacob knew that Susie was reluctant to meet him.
It seemed like he had indeed hurt her deeply this time around.
Julian pursed his lips and spoke in a deep voice, “Jacob, I’m begging you. I need to meet Susie no matter what. I have something very important to tell her.”
Seth walked toward them. “Jacob, don’t you see how anxious he is? It’s quite normal if a husband and wife have an argument with each other. They’ll make it up with each other sooner or later. Just let them meet up with each other and talk it over. Then, it’ll soon be over.”
Jacob looked at Julian.
He was in such a rush. It was in the middle of the winter, but his forehead was covered with sweat. His usually calm eyes seemed rather agitated and helpless now.
Julian… was indeed quite anxious.
Jacob pursed his lips at last. “Don’t disturb me.”
“Sure.” It meant that he had agreed. Julian replied rather happily.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Julian took up his phone and glanced at it. He smiled icily.
It was a message from Isabelle.
