The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 8 I, Julian Shaw's Woman

Luke had no expression as he looked into Susan’s eyes. There was even slight disgust in his gaze.

Susan felt as though she had just been thrown into icy -cold water, freezing her heart. She knew that Luke treated her the way because he did not remember her anymore. However, her heartache felt incredibly real a t that moment.

She fought her tears back and looked at Luke stubbornly. "What if I refuse to apologize?”

Luke snorted. "I advise you to obey me. Otherwise, the Jenkins family..."

"What will the Jenkins family do? Chairman Jenkins, you're making a huge commitment there," a cold voice interrupted.

Luke Jenkins was taken by surprise as he turned around to find Julian Shaw standing behind him apathetically.

"Julian Shaw?"

However, Julian ignored him and walked over to Susan. He looked at her discomposure, and his eyes looked like they were on fire.

"Dumb woman, don't you know how to dodge when someone is splashing something at you?" Julian shouted.

Susan was taken aback. After a while, she said softly," I...didn't have the time to dodge..."

"You didn't have time to dodge? Then, don't you know how to retaliate?" Julian snorted, and all of a sudden, h e took the coffee cup in front of Susan and flung its contents at Mandy.

Nobody would have guessed Julian Shaw would have done something like that. In a heartbeat, Mandy was splashed from head to toe.

She was initially stunned, then she shrieked, "My hair!

I put in so much effort into my hair! My bag, my clothes...” Mandy wiped her clothes vigorously with a napkin.

"Did you see that? That is how you splash someone!" Julian looked at Susan pointedly.

While he was still simmering in annoyance, Susan realized that she was not afraid of him anymore. She snorted and even laughed. "Yes, I did!"

"Dumb woman, I’ll kill you if you let yourself be on the losing end again." Julian's expression seemed to improve at the sight of Susan’s smile, but he still looked serious when he helped her stand up.

"Wait, Julian, what does this mean?” Luke ignored Mandy who was fussing about. He looked at Julian, who was holding Susan's hand, as an inexplicable dissatisfaction arose in his heart.

"What does that mean?" Julian snickered. "Are you trying to stop me from taking action after bullying my woman?”

At that point, he pulled Susan aside possessively. In the past, whenever he suddenly made such an intimate gesture, Susan would have subconsciously resisted. This time, she just leaned into his arms quietly.

Luke suddenly felt irritated and he rubbed his clenched fist. "Even if you're Julian Shaw, you can't do as you please."

With a sneer, Julian said arrogantly, "I do as I like. Can you control me?"

His unreasonable attitude angered both Luke and Mandy.

"I'm afraid that today's event was a misunderstanding. As you can see, I have a boyfriend. So, there’s no such thing as me fancying Mr. Jenkins. As for Miss Adams' for slandering me, I'm curious too," Susan spoke softly.

"My Susan fancies Luke Jenkins?''Julian's expression was full of sarcasm. "What kind of international joke i s this? Would I, Julian Shaw, lose to a gigolo?"

Luke was offended as he glanced at Mandy from the corner of his eyes. She frantically avoided his stare and he narrowed his eyes instantly.

"I'll have you know that you've offended my woman. Don't think that this issue is over..." "Julian, let's go." Susan pulled Julian's arm lightly before he snorted and left with her.

In the cafe, Luke gazed down at Mandy with a condescending flash in his eyes. It was his first time suspecting if she was really as naive as she portrayed herself to be.

Feeling his skeptical gaze analyzing her, Mandy panicked and her face was as pale as a sheet. "Luke, that woman, she...she really said that. I..."

Luke looked at her and then suddenly smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I definitely trust you."

Looking at Luke’s usual warm gaze, Mandy had a sigh of relief and said, "Luke, that Julian is really unreasonable."

"It's not good to have a feud with the Shaw family over such a small matter. Let’s go and get a change of clothes first," Luke said politely.

"Hmm." Mandy held his hand gleefully. She had intentionally brought Luke along to meet Susan to see if he had really forgotten her.

She was very satisfied with the outcome. Luke Jenkins belonged to her alone.

He looked at the gleeful Mandy but his eyes contained a profound smile. 'Susan...who is she?'

Why was it that when he saw her sad face, his heart felt a trace of unexplained confusion? Should he investigate if there was anything behind this?

An angry Julian shoved Susan in the car. Then, he started the engine.

Susan stole a glance at him. "Julian, didn't you leave just now? Why did you come back?” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

His temper rose even more. How would he know why h e gave up a good night for this dumb woman?

He had obviously been getting somebody, but he had stupidly gone back to the cafe. In that case, he did not want Susan to know, so he raised an eyebrow. "Do I need to report my whereabouts to you? You can’t possibly think that I came specifically for you, can you?"

She quickly shook her head. "No, I didn't think so. I just wanted to say...thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. Just don't embarrass m e the next time," Julian replied coldly.

"Okay," Susan responded obediently. After a while of looking out of the speeding car, she asked, “Julian, where are we going?"

"Home! Do you want to go out in these coffee-stained clothes?" he responded coldly.

"I..." Susan pursed her lips and carefully said, "Julian... you...are you angry?"

"Angry?" Julian sniggered. "What's there to be angry about? Angry about you seeing your old lover behind m y back? Or angry about how you can't even avoid being splashed by a cup of coffee? Susan, do you think you’re that important that I'd be angry for your sake?"

His treatment towards her was very cold and his words were piercing.

Had it been before, Susan would have lowered her head and not dared to explain. However, she suddenly felt that he was not as cold as he seemed to be.
