Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 339

Madam Shaw called and left a reminder.

Julian and Susan pondered it for a bit. It was about time they returned.

After all, Ningcheng City was their home. Staying with the Wrights was not very convenient.

Besides, there were errands to run over at Lanyard Construction.

On StarTech’s side, Julian had already done all the preliminary work, and Seth and Jacob were looking over it, so there should not be any issues in the short term.

After the two discussed the details, they went to bid the Wrights farewell.

As soon as she heard that Julian and Susan were about to leave, Luna’s eyes turned bloodshot immediately.

She held onto Susan’s arm and said, “Susie, you are leaving so soon? Can't you stay longer?”

She truly was loath to part with Susan.

Normally, she could have followed Susan to Ningcheng City.

However, although Skyking City seemed calm now, the undercurrents were surging and a storm was brewing, so she really could not leave.

“Mom...” Susan assured her with a gentle gaze. “There’s a private jet, so it’s very convenient to go back and forth between the two cities. If you miss me, just come and see me.”

Susan hated bidding the Wrights goodbye too, but after living in Ningcheng City for such a long time, she had become accustomed to the life there. Although Skyking City had treated her well, it could not give her the feeling of home after all.

“Okay.” Susan had already made up her mind. Despite her teary eyes, it was not appropriate for Luna to say too much.

Susan felt a little blue.

“Alright, alright. She’s just going back to Ningcheng City. It’s not like she’s not coming back ever again. Why make a scene over it?” Marshal Wright spoke in his thunderous voice.

Luna could not help but shoot a glare at him. “Shut up.”

Marshal Wright was speechless. Why was he the one who always ended up being thrown under the bus?

Luna, who continued to hold on to Susan’s arm, asserted, “Susie, mom can’t walk away temporarily, but I’ll come over to keep you company when you’re about to deliver the baby.”

“Okay,” Susan responded with a smile.

Luna felt even more reluctant to part with her.

“Mom, don’t you worry. I’ll follow them over and take care of Susie.” Anna volunteered. “After all, I won’t be of any help here.”

“Anna, it would be better if you stayed back in Skyking City.” Susan gave her a wink.

Huh?

Anna was perplexed. Then, she saw Susan peeping in Jacob’s direction.

Anna blushed like a crimson sky on fire.

Oh yeah, Susan needed to go back to prepare for labor, but Jacob still had to stay and work on his company’s affairs…

If she were to go to Ningcheng City, she would not be able to see Jacob for a while.

Anna was in a dilemma.

Everybody could see what was on Anna’s mind except that plank.

Serenity gave her a sidelong glance and then said, “Just stay at home, Shortie. You move like a bull in a China shop. We have to thank God whenever you don’t make a mess at home, yet now you’re suggesting that you should go and take care of Susan?”

“Serenity Wright, what are you saying?” Anna was seething. “Since when am I clumsy? And who are you calling Shortie?”

Serenity chuckled and sauntered toward Anna.

Serenity had the figure of a model, so when Anna was beside her, she looked like a barbie doll.

Serenity extended her arms and pointed at Anna’s forehead. “I was referring to you, Shortie!”

“Oh Susie, you’re finally back.” Madam Shaw welcomed Susan fervently and held onto her arms affectionately.

Susan was a little shocked by Madam Shaw’s enthusiasm.

“Yeah, I’m back,” Susan replied without skipping a beat.

“My God, you must’ve suffered throughout the past few months. Look at you, you’ve lost weight.” Madam Shaw gazed kindly at her. “Now that you’re back, everything will be great. I’ll personally cook for you. This will definitely help you regain some weight. I wasn’t aware of your preferences before this, so I ordered people to prepare a little bit of everything. We’ll see what you prefer…”

As soon as she had taken Susan’s hand, Madam Shaw had started rattling on non-stop.

Susan was slightly embarrassed.

She had lost weight?

She had been sleeping well and eating well in the past two months. In combination with her pregnancy, she had almost gained 10 pounds!

If this were to continue, how would she look in the end?

However, Madam Shaw’s zeal did make her feel warm.

She did not want to go into the reasons behind Madam Shaw’s personality change. She had only one principle: If Madam Shaw treated her well, she would return the kindness.

“Mom.” Julian finally found a gap in the conversation and said, “Let’s get in the car first. We’ll talk when we get home.”

“Okay, alright. We’ll talk when we get home. Look at me, I’m so happy that I almost lost my mind,” Madam Shaw responded with a huge grin on her face.

Susan smiled. She then saw Serenity standing next to them all alone and pulled her over. “Mom, this is Serene. She’s here to accompany me.”

“Serene, huh?” Madam Shaw eyed Serenity disdainfully before she added, “She’s the adopted girl, right?”

Susan could not help but frown. What was the reason behind Madam Shaw’s emphasis on the word ‘adopted’?

Although she was adopted, nobody in the Wright Family had ever regarded Serenity as an outsider!
