Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 439

“Yes.” The servant promptly went to carry out the order.

Susan wanted to refuse but did not even stand a chance.

Luna sat by the bed and held Susan’s hand in hers. “Susie, do you know what a scare you gave me when you fainted? How could you strain yourself when you already can’t take it…”

As Luna nagged her, Susan felt a sense of warmth while looking at her worried face.

“Mom.” Susan took Luna’s hand in hers instead and started speaking in a soft voice. “Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Where’s Chessie?”

Luna replied just as gently, “She stayed a long time by your bedside and just went to sleep.”

When her daughter was mentioned, there was a flash of pain in Susan’s eyes.

Chessie had yet to find out what had happened between her daddy and mommy. Susan had always wanted to give her the best of everything in this world, yet she could not even provide her with a complete family.

The memory of Julian requesting a divorce was replayed in her mind, and she felt a pang in her heart once more.

Luna felt for Susan as she looked at her sorrowful state.

The maid came up with the congee and Luna instantly fed it to Susan. Susan, who did not have much of an appetite but did not want Luna to worry, forced herself to finish a small part of the bowl.

After she had the congee, Luna helped Susan up from the bed so she could walk around. Susan took a glance at the window, staring outside slightly. “When did it start to rain? I didn’t hear a thing.”

“You’d hear it if the window was open, but you have a fever now. Better not let any wind inside,” said Luna.

Susan merely nodded in a daze.

“The rain’s quite heavy.” George was suddenly struck by a thought as he looked out of the window. As he pondered it, he received a call and answered it without much thought.

“Marshal, the rain’s getting heavier. Julian Shaw is still not leaving. What should we do?” one of the guards asked nervously.

“He’s not leaving? Let him stay then!” George answered promptly. “Just don’t let him step into the house.”

After roaring, George hung up. Then, he met Susan’s pure gaze.

“Dad, who’s waiting outside?” she asked.

“No one, Susie. Don’t mind it,” Luna said as she glared at George.

Was her husband stupid? How could he speak about this in front of Susie?

Knowing that his tongue had slipped, George chuckled without offering an answer.

Susan bit her lips and pressed. “Is it Julian?”

“No, it’s not him,” George replied a tad too quickly.

His speedy response confirmed Susan’s guess. She gazed toward the window again, the emotions in her gaze complex. “The rain… is quite heavy.”

Julian was still in her heart despite what had happened.

Luna sighed and glared once more at George.

Feeling on edge due to his wife’s glare, George spoke up weakly after some time. “Uh… I can have someone give him an umbrella?”

Susan was quiet for a while before she agreed. “Give him an umbrella and ask him to leave then.”

George swiftly did as he was told. After some time, he received another call.

“Thank you, mom,” Susan said gratefully.

If it had not been for her family, she would have broken down a long time ago.

“We don’t need to be thanking each other.” Luna hugged Susan and left the room.

More than 10 minutes later, Julian stood at the door, looking haggard and forlorn.

He had stayed in the rain for a long time. if Luna had not let him change into something dry after entering, he would perhaps have looked worse now.

“Susie!” Julian called out almost dreamily upon looking at the silhouette that haunted his dreams.

Susan sat by the table quietly and spoke up softly. “Sit.”

She looked too calm.

Pressing his lips together, Julian took a seat in front of her.

“Are you here to bring the certificate of divorce?” Susan kept her eyes on Julian.

His heart clenched. “Susie, I’ll never divorce you.”

“Oh? But you didn’t say that in front of your mother.” Susan’s gaze was unfazed.

“Susie, listen to me. I know that you didn’t poison her, but mom was poisoned and she’s still weak now so she can’t be provoked. She’s adamant about you harming her and she’s doing anything she can to force me to divorce you. Just earlier, she slit her wrist to commit suicide right before me…”

“So you promised her to divorce me, right?” Susan suddenly chuckled.
