Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 301

“It’s fine. It’s best if I work on some things alone.” Oliver patted Anna’s head. “Annie, just stay at the Shaw mansion over the few days that I’m gone. You don’t need to do anything. Just wait for me patiently, alright?”

Oliver’s expression was very stern, so Anna couldn't help but nod obediently.

That night, Oliver said goodbye to Julian and left while Anna stayed with the Shaw family.

After Oliver left, Susan couldn't help but feel a wave of relief.

At night, Susan was leisurely listening to some prenatal music while reading a book.

Julian was looking at her and his gaze deepened.

He bent over and left a soft kiss on Susan’s forehead. Then, he said softly, “Susie… The things that Oliver said this evening…”

“Julian.” Susie cut his sentence off immediately, “Did you get brainwashed too? My surname is Shelby, not Wright. I’ve got nothing to do with them.”

“It won’t take much time if it’s a simple check…” Julian replied seriously.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. If you continue, I’m going to get angry.” Susan glared at Julian.

‘It was painful enough to wait for Oliver to leave, but why is Julian still bothering me with it?’

Julian caressed Susan’s hair and kept quiet.

However, he couldn't help but softly sigh in his mind.

To be honest, he hoped that Susan was Oliver’s sister.

It had nothing to do with the power of the Wright family. He simply hoped that, if Susan was Oliver’s sister, would it mean that she wouldn’t have a hereditary heart disease?

‘Would it mean that Susie and their baby could be safe?’

Julian was silent but Susan was looking at his stern face. Although he was quiet, she knew what he was thinking.

Susan said softly, “Julian, some things are determined by fate. If something was supposed to happen, it would’ve happened. If it wasn’t meant to happen, it wouldn’t. It wouldn’t make any difference if I took the DNA test or not, right?”

Naturally, it wouldn’t have made any difference. However, if he could confirm that Susie wasn’t related to Jacob by blood, both Susie and him would feel so much more relieved if they didn’t have to worry about the heart disease.

Since Susan insisted, Julian respected her decision and stopped trying to convince her.

Susan said, “Okay. When Oliver left, he probably investigated and found out that I'm not part of the Wright family. You should stop thinking about it.”

“Okay,” Julian replied softly. Then, he stayed and listened to the soothing prenatal music with Susan.

It was true that he shouldn’t overthink. Regardless of what the outcome would be, he'd just face it with her.

Susan was listening to music while reading. However, the music was too calming so she fell asleep, and her book fell to the ground.

She leaned on Julian’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

It was then that Julian glanced at her lovingly before he carefully rested her on the bed.

Under the dim light, Susie’s facial features seemed softer than usual. Looking at her, Julian couldn't help but chuckle. He did not care about Susie’s surname or family background. As long as she was the person in front of him, nothing else mattered.

“Sigh!”

Anna watched the TV for a while and sighed.

“Sigh!”

She went to read a book, then sighed again.

“Oh, you’re here.” Anna looked at Jacob in feigned surprise. “I thought you fell asleep.”

Jacob stopped himself before swear words rolled off his tongue.

‘She thought I was asleep so she continued knocking?

“What do you want?” Jacob stood at the door and looked at her coldly.

“Let me in, then we can discuss it slowly.” Anna blinked.

Jacob squinted his eyes. “There’s no need. If there’s anything, we can just say it here.”

“Jacob!” Anna’s expression suddenly turned aggrieved and her eyes turned teary. “Do you hate me that much?”

Although he knew that Anna was faking her tears, seeing her cry still softened Jacob’s expression. He replied with a deep voice, “No.”

“That’s not true! You’re lying. You clearly hate me.” Anna’s crying grew worse. “Previously, there were a few big guys scheming against me when I was kidnapped at the hospital. I’m just a weak woman, do you know how hard it was for me to escape? In Town N, you were the person who I trusted the most. After escaping, I called you immediately and yet… what happened?”

Anna looked at Jacob tearily and he pressed his lips together in silence.

“You doubted me!” Previously, Anna faked her tears. However, she began feeling truly aggrieved as she continued complaining, “I’ve suffered so much and tried so hard to escape just to be doubted by you. Jacob, what wrong have I done to you in your previous life?”

Anna kept on crying. Her cries turned from a sob into a hysterical tantrum. Jacob had never seen anyone cry this badly so he started to panic.

Jenny used to cry a lot as well, but she cried pitifully and beautifully.

However, Anna’s cries were more like a child’s breakdown. Her tears and mucus were smudged all over her face.

Jacob was a little germaphobic. Seeing Anna’s breakdown, he could only hand her a handkerchief.
