Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 41

At the Shaw residence, Jacob looked around and frowned. “Susan, this is not our house.”

“Brother, I’ve already sold the old house,” Susan explained gently, “I’m married now, and this is my new house.”

“New house?” Jacob hesitated, then nodded in agreement.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, she put Jacob to rest and walked over to Julian.

“Julian, thank you...for today,” she said softly. If Julian had not been around today, she would not have known what to do.

“Is your gratitude only verbal?” Julian raised an eyebrow.

“Then...then what do you want?” She blushed slightly.

“At least a kiss or something like that,” he just said casually, but suddenly Susan tiptoed and then kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Julian’s pupils constricted.

Susan had already returned to where she was standing and she looked at him shyly. “Is that enough?”

Looking at her slightly pinkish complexion, Julian’s eyes flashed. He was longing to say that it was never enough.

However, this was a good start. He had waited for so long he did not mind waiting some more. He believed that one day he would have her heart completely.

Julian raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when suddenly, Jacob’s voice rang out. “Susan, I want it too.”

“Brother, what is it?” Susan walked over immediately.

“You kissed him.” Jacob looked at her pointedly.

After being caught by her brother, Susan blushed. “Brother…”

“You kissed him and didn’t kiss me,” Jacob complained.

“Pfft.” Susan laughed. Her brother now was like a child.

She instantly leaned over and planted a heavy smooch on Jacob’s face. “How about this?”

Julian could not stand it anymore. He rushed over and blocked Susan. “Hey, Susan is my wife!”

“Susan is my younger sister.” Jacob glanced at him provocatively and then presented the other side of his face. “Susan, this side too.”

“Okay.” She planted another kiss on his cheek, making Jacob instantly proud.

Julian’s face became as gloomy as the night. He walked over in dissatisfaction. “I want it on this side too.”

Susan shot him a look. “What are you doing? Why are you quarreling with my brother?”

“Hey, why does he get a kiss when he asks for it and why is it a quarrel when I want one? Woman, you can’t be so unreasonable.” Julian became nervous. He was slightly regretting it.

Why did he agree to let her bring Jacob home?

Was the air of jealousy at home not strong enough?

“What a petty person! You know my brother’s condition well.” Susan stuck her tongue out at him, then looked at Jacob and asked, “Brother, are you hungry? I’ll cook some noodles for you.”

“Okay.” Jacob broke into a smile.

Susan responded and walked away.

“I want noodles too!” Julian shouted from behind.

“I know.” Susan then told Mama Jean to rest and she started to make dinner.

There were four of them including Mama Jean, so Susan made a large pot of noodles.

“Hmm, I think I’ve made too much. I wonder if we can finish it.” Susan scratched her head.

“It’s okay. I can eat 2 bowls,” Jacob said.

Susan’s heart softened at once. Before this, she had been reliant on her brother, but now it was the other way round.

‘Brother, don’t you worry. I’ll be beside you until you’ve recovered.’ Susan blinked, then smiled and said, “Brother, then let’s go and buy a coat first.”

The weather was turning colder and he needed a warm coat. Initially, she wanted to buy one for her brother, but now he could try it in person.

“Okay.” Jacob had no objection.

“Let’s go to Business Street,” Susan said with a smile.

Then, Alfred drove to Business Street and waited outside while Susan went in to shop with Jacob.

In an intricately decorated dessert shop on Business Street, Charlotte Jenkins was tasting a piece of Opera cake while looking at Mandy Ainsley who was sitting in front of her.

“Are you sure you don’t want to have some? The dessert here tastes really good,” Charlotte said.

Mandy shook her head and smiled sweetly. “Nope, the wedding is so near. It would be a shame if I grew fat and can’t fit into the wedding dress.”

Charlotte laughed. “Don’t worry, no matter what, my brother won’t abandon you.”

“Does he dare?” Mandy said with a laugh, but her eyes flashed with a trace of concern. In fact, she had been worried lately because Luke’s attitude towards her seemed to have a slight difference.

Previously, whenever she looked for him, he would accompany her even if he was busy with work.

Now, when she looked for him, he would be busy all the time.

Today she wanted to look for him, but Luke had said that he could not detach himself from work. She was worried about overthinking, so she asked Charlotte to accompany her.

However...all she wanted was Luke.

Mandy became nervous subconsciously.

“Huh?” At that moment, Charlotte looked out of the window and a strange light flashed across her eyes.
