Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 347

Madam Shaw was muttering rather loudly, so Luna Harris could not refrain herself from casting a displeased glance at her. However, she suppressed the urge to do anything in view of the fact that Madam Shaw was Julian Shaw’s mother.

What was the problem with having a boy or a girl? Wasn’t the most important thing now Susie’s safety?

Every childbirth that a woman went through was akin to a trip to the verge of death. She pitied her and wondered how much pain Susie was in now.

Tears streamed down Luna’s face the more she thought about it.

Anna Wright and Serenity Wright could only continue to console her.

Soon, an hour passed.

George and Oliver had already returned to their spots by the door to wait as well.

“It has been an hour. Why haven’t we heard anything from the inside yet?” Luna was becoming agitated. Had George not stopped her, she would have charged into the labor room by force.

A few minutes passed, but just as George was about to break the door impatiently, the door to the labor room opened at last.

Susan was pushed out on a stretcher while Julian stayed by her side constantly.

“Susie.” Luna and the others made their way over to her at once.

Madam Shaw charged toward the nurse swiftly. “Nurse, is it a boy or a girl?”

The nurse said with a smile, “Congratulations, Madam Shaw. It’s an adorable baby girl.”

“Baby girl?” Madam Shaw was stunned for a moment. An incredulous look flashed past her eyes at once. “That’s impossible. The Shaws have been giving birth to boys for the past few generations!”

“That should be just a coincidence.” The nurse chuckled and said, “Would you like to hold the baby, Madam Shaw?”

A baby with a pair of huge dark eyes was wrapped in a swaddle. Even though the baby’s skin was still wrinkly, one could see that she would certainly grow up to be an adorable little girl.

Madam Shaw frowned and took a step back ever so slightly.

“Nurse, please put the baby next to me.” Susan’s gentle voice was heard.

The nurse hastily carried the child and placed it next to Susan.

Susan was about to melt upon seeing her cute baby girl.

“Susie, you must be tired.” Julian leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on Susan’s forehead.

Everyone was elated, except for Madam Shaw, who was very unhappy.

She did not stay long. She left right afterward by making up an excuse about attending to some important matters.

Luna frowned even more upon seeing Madam Shaw’s reaction. However, she did not comment further on that, concerned that her comment would affect the relationship between Susan and her mother-in-law.

Madam Shaw may not like the baby, but it was fine as long as they did.

Madam Shaw returned to the house. She pondered the situation here and there and found that something did not feel right.

She approached a servant in a calm and reflective mood. “Tell me… Why is it a baby girl?”

It was inappropriate for the servant to answer, so she smiled and said, “The probability of getting a boy or a girl is 50-50.”

“That shouldn’t be right,” said Madam Shaw stubbornly.

The family had been birthing boys for a few generations. Why had Susan given birth to a girl?

The doubt that had troubled her in the past crept into Madam Shaw’s mind like a devil.

Susan had refused to have a paternity test on the child and Julian all this time. Could this child… really be Julian’s?”

If it was not…

Madam Shaw’s expression changed involuntarily.

Susan was truly a troublesome person.

She had come from a poor family background in the past and was not a good match for Julian. This troubled Madam Shaw, but there was nothing she could do because Julian liked it that way.

“She has some matters to attend to, so she headed back home first,” said Julian. He hid Madam Shaw’s idea from her.

Susan did not think too much of that either but she said with a smile, “She was kept from doing things because she had to keep me company when I was pregnant. Now, she can finally find time for herself.”

“Hmm...” answered Julian casually before he picked up his daughter cautiously.

His daughter was very well-behaved. She bore into his cradling arms as soon as Julian picked her up.

“Our daughter loves you,” Susan said in a jealous tone. “She lives up to the story of being a lover from your past life.”

Julian could not help smiling and refused to let go of the tiny bundle of joy in his arms.

When the baby was a little over one month old, Julian and Susan discussed and came up with a name for the baby. She was named Chesney Shaw.

They did not want her to have a huge career in the future. They only hoped that she would live out her life peacefully.

Chessie grew up quickly and kept undergoing changes almost every day. Julian was content with everything now that he had a daughter. He did not even want to leave the house if he could avoid it.

Luna and the others accompanied Susan until the first month ended and then headed back to Skyking City.

Jacob Shelby wanted to stay originally yet was frustrated with Seth Leeds, who was constantly calling and pestering him. During those calls, he could hear Seth crying while begging him to return.

“I can leave Mr. Shaw be because he has just become a new father. You’re not here either, though... Why? Because you’re the uncle of the child? I’m also the child’s godfather. As a result, I can only see her on video calls. What did I say? Uh… Since when am I Chessie’s godfather? It’s bound to happen sooner or later. It’s considered done now that I said it is. The most crucial issue now is that neither of you is coming over and I can’t handle everything by myself. I’m warning you. You have to turn up tomorrow. If you don’t… I, I will take my life before you. How will I die? I don’t care, I’ll cut my wrists or jump off a building. If I die, I won’t let you off even when I’m a ghost. I…”

Seth’s offensive remarks were so formidable that Jacob could only return to Skyking City when Chessie was one and a half months old.

Julian stayed for three months and watched as Seth and Jacob kept losing control of the shop in Skyking City.

He could only bid farewell to Susan and the child unwillingly in the end.

“You should go first. When the child is a little older, I’ll take her on a plane and come to see you.” Susan consoled him with a smile.

Even though Julian was unwilling to leave, there were too many affairs to attend to in Skyking City. He had no other choice but to leave temporarily after making a series of meticulous arrangements.

Serenity was the only person that had stayed with Susan all this time.
