Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 341

The lunch was scrumptious. After their stomachs were full, Susan and Julian then went to take a nap.

Seizing her chance, Madam Shaw pulled Serenity to one side.

“Is there anything I can help you with, Madam Shaw?” Serenity asked, not knowing what Madam Shaw was doing.

“I know what you’re up to,” Madam Shaw hissed as she stared coldly at Serenity. “You’d better don’t do anything stupid. I’ll be watching you.”

Madam Shaw’s accusation completely threw Serenity for a loop. After a long while, she sighed and said, “No offense to you Madam Shaw, but my only purpose in coming here is to take care of Susan. If that is the motive you’re talking about, then yes, that’s the reason why I came here. Other than that, no.”

“Hah!” Madam Shaw sneered, “Julian and Susan are too young. You can hide from them, but you can’t fool my eyes. Just you remember, I’m watching you.”

After that, Madam Shaw turned around and walked away, leaving Serenity standing speechless on the spot.

She truly did not know what kind of motive she had. Feeling helpless, Serenity shook her head and returned to her room.

Indeed, she was jealous of Susan, and her resentment reached its greatest height the moment George and Luna discovered that Susan was the daughter that they lost 25 years ago. The smile that appeared on their faces during that time was the kind of smile that she had never seen before.

Was this kind of jealousy not very normal for a girl like her? No matter how jealous she was, she would only give some snappish remarks about Susan, and that was it. There was no way she would go to the extent and try to harm her.

Putting everything aside, she was her sister.

Serenity lifted her eyebrow. She did not know how other people would do in her circumstances, but the Wrights were the ones who raised her. George and Luna never discriminated against her even though she was adopted, so there was no way she could never bring herself to bite the hand that fed her.

A smile crossed Serenity’s face as she decided to push Madam Shaw’s remark to the back of her mind.

She did not care about what other people thought. She was just going to do what she had to do.

In the next few days, Madam Shaw indeed kept a watchful eye on her, both overtly and covertly. Even Mama Jean could not help and ask Susan in secret why Madam Shaw kept staring at Serenity.

Julian and Susan had talked to Madam Shaw before, but she would not listen. She still acted as usual and kept watching Serenity.

Left with no other alternative, Susan could only apologize to Serenity.

“I’m sorry, Serenity,” Susan said softly, “Mom has watched too many soap operas, she…”

“It’s fine,” Serenity interrupted, offering her a grin. “Honestly, she was right about me.”

“Huh?” Susan was stunned.

Looking at Susan, Serenity said plainly, “Do you know how jealous I was when you first came back? I have been the Wrights for so long, and I have never seen Mom smile like that before. For so many years, that is the happiest smile I have seen on Mom’s face. I don’t understand, Susan, I truly don’t. Anna and I have been trying our best to cheer Mom up. None of us succeeded, and yet you can do it with ease.”

Serenity was so serious that Susan did not know how to reply.

She threw Susan a glance and a wide grin hopped onto her face. “At that time, I told myself. I must take a good look at you and see for myself whether or not you deserve to be one of the Wrights.”

“Then?” Susan asked curiously, “What do you think of me now?”

Her ruddy lips curved up, and they looked as pleasant as a rose. “Do you know when I started to recognize you?”

“When was that?”

“When you came to Skyking City,” Serenity replied flatly, “During that time, the Wrights were in the mire. Everyone was trying to pull us down and nobody was willing to give us a hand. Then, you showed up. You went through the tribulation with us, and that alone is enough to change my view on you. Starting from that moment, I swore to myself that I’d treat you like my own sister. I’ll take care of you and protect you from harm.”

On the other hand, Madam Shaw had turned a new leaf. She circled around Susan all day long, attending to every one of her demands and taking good care of her.

Eventually, their relationship became better and better day by day.

“Banquet? Nah, I’ll pass,” Madam Shaw said through the phone, “Susie is pregnant, and I’ve to take care of her, so I’m not going.”

There was a slight disappointment in Madam Shaw’s eyes after she hung up the call.

Susan knew Madam Shaw wanted to go to the banquet very much. As such, she moved forward and said, “Mom, if you want to go to the banquet, just go. Serenity and all the servants will take care of me.”

“What’s the point of going to the banquet? They all talk about the same thing every time. I haven’t been to a banquet for a long time,” Madam Shaw said, but the disappointment on her face did not go away.

Susan was tickled pink by Madam Shaw. She said, “But that was before. You have been taking care of me for more than a month, so I think it’s good to give yourself a little break. Go join your friend, I’ll be fine by myself.”

Madam Shaw hesitated. She threw a look at Susan, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind. She suggested, “How about this Susie? You haven’t been out for a long time except for your daily walks in the garden. The baby has stabilized right now, so why don’t you go to the banquet with me?”

Susan smiled. “Me? I don’t think I want to go, Mom.”

Susan had always had little interest in banquets.

“If you don’t want to go, I don’t want to go either,” Madam Shaw replied.

Susan looked at her and fell into her thoughts. After a short while, she said, “Okay then, I’ll go with you.”

“It’s decided, then,” Madam Shaw hastily said as if she was afraid that Susan would suddenly change her mind again. Her eyes were smiling.
