Chapter 576 Come At The Same Time
Chapter 576 Come At The Same Time
Susan had been trying her very best to keep Willa's pregnancy a secret.
However, there were so many people at the banquet, so she could not hide it anymore.
George, Luna, Jacob... All of them got the news one after another.
As for Susan’s family, they were pissed off when they heard Willa was pregnant.
How did Julian tell them that time?
Didn't he get close to that woman because he wanted to save Susan? Then why would he have a baby with that woman?
Initially, Luna was skeptical about the news. She tried to call Julian and hoped to get some explanation from him.
However, she had been calling Julian for a whole night, yet he did not even answer her call once.
A bad hunch rose in Luna's heart.
Since she could not get to Julian, she made a call to Madam Shaw. Madam Shaw then triumphantly told her that the news was true. Willa was pregnant with a baby boy. She even said that since Julian had a son now, so Susan didn’t have to feel guilty anymore for not being able to give birth to an heir for the Shaws. She also made it clear that if Susan could treat the baby well, she could still be Mrs. Shaw.
Luna was so exasperated that she smashed her phone so hard on the floor it broke into pieces.
"It seems like Willa is really pregnant." George had a look of disapproval on his face. "How could he do this to Susie?"
"Hah," Luna sneered, "All men are swine. Get out of here. I don't want to see you."
George was speechless. He did not know why his wife would extend her wrath from Julian to him.
After chasing George away, Luna was still worried about Susan. All of them were furious when they received the news, but how about Susan? How would she feel when she found out that Willa was pregnant?
Luna did not know whether she should go comfort Susan or not. She was worried that her consolation would only make Susan feel even worse. She couldn’t sleep well that night as she kept tossing and turning around on the bed.
The next morning, the doorman reported that there were two guests waiting at the door.
Luna was speechless when she knew who they were.
She didn't know if they decided to come together at the same time or what. Both of them were waiting at the door right now, and they wanted to see Susan.
Just when Luna wanted to chase them away, Susan's indifferent voice rang out," Mom, let them in."
"I can let Julius in, but Julian..." Luna replied anxiously.
Susan lowered her gaze. "We have to put an end to this eventually."
Luna knew Susan was an iron fist in a velvet glove. She might look soft on the surface, but she knew that in her own mind. Since she had decided, Luna gritted her teeth and ordered the doorman to let both of them in. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Julian and Julius came into the mansion almost at the same time.
Julian could not help but squint at Julius as he tightened his hands into fists.
'Julius Jenner!'
He was certain that this man would grasp the chance and comfort her after he brought Willa away. He knew that Susan was very disappointed with him right now. If this man made use of the opportunity and went after Susan-
Julian dared not to imagine the situation.
Compared to Julian's stern expression, there was a faint smile on Julius's face. He looked gently at Susan and asked, "Did you have a good rest last night, Miss Shelby?" Susan ignored Julian as if he was not standing there. She held Julius's gaze and nodded, "Yeah."
Julius smiled in return and pulled a bouquet of flowers out of nowhere. “This is for you. I hope it can cheer you up."
It was a bouquet of blue roses.
Everybody knew about the meaning of the red roses, but blue roses did not seem to have that many hidden meanings.
Initially, Susan wanted to reject his flower. However, when she looked at Julius's gentle features, she was afraid that she had thought too much and the situation would become very awkward if she did not accept the flower.
She thought for a moment and then accepted the flower with a smile. "Thank you."
The smile on Julius's face broadened, while Julian's face turned even darker.
'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
He stared viciously at the bouquet of flowers and he wanted nothing more than to stomp on it.
However, he didn't seem to be in a position to do that right now.
Also, whenever he thought about the things he was about to do, he got even more depressed.
He could only press down his swelling current of tumultuous jealousy and put the blame on Willa.
Susan was smiling when she was talking to Julius, but the smile immediately vanished from her face when she turned to Julian. With an insouciant expression, she asked, "What brings you here today, Mr.
Shaw?"
Julian felt a shot of pain in his heart when he saw how cold Susan was to him.
However, Julian soon recollected himself and said flatly, “There is something I would like to talk to you alone about.”
Susan squinted her eyes, and it took her a long while to reply, "Okay."
Two years. She had been escaping for two years.
It was about time to bring everything between Julian and her to an end.
"Let's go to my room and talk,” Susan suggested.
Julian nodded. As he followed Susan upstairs, he shot a caustic gaze at Julius.
Julius was unflustered. He responded to Julian's provocation with a smile, and it made Julian even angrier.
Susan closed the door after they were inside the room. She looked apathetically at Julian and asked, "Well, you can say that now. What is the thing you want to talk to me about?"
What was the thing he wanted to talk to her about?
Julian's lips quivered.
He wanted to pull the woman in front of her into his arms. He wanted to ask how she and the kids had been all these years. He wanted to know if they were scared yesterday, and he wanted to know what was going with her and Julius...
However, he knew he was in no place to ask any of that right now. A myriad of emotions coursed through Julian, but he suppressed all of them and he asked coldly in an interrogative tone, "What did you tell Willie yesterday?"
■Willie?’
Susan's heart had already gone numb from all the pain.
She raised her gaze to look at Julian. “What do you think I said to her?"
Julian sneered, "She is having my baby right now, so how could you say something like that to incite her?"
His hand trembled every slightly.
Susan closed her eyes.
Julian's heart was shaking.
'If I was given a choice, Susie, I would never harm you, but... I don't have a choice.’
It took Susan a long while to re-open her eyes. Her gaze grew even colder as she said, "It's your baby, not mine. What does it have to do with me?”
"You were not this kind of person in the past, Susie.” Julian looked disbelievingly at Susan, "No matter how much you resent me, you shouldn't take it out on a baby. He is innocent!"
Susan did not want to explain anymore. Since Julian was certain that it was her who harmed Willa and the baby in her stomach, then let her be the bad person.
She looked straight at Julian and asked," So what do you want from me?"
Julian rolled his eyes, mustered up all his strength, and said, "You told Wille that I have to come to you if I want my family fortune back, right? Well, here I am.”
A radiant smile crept onto the tips of
Susan's lips.
Finally, Julian and she had come to this point.
In the past, she said no to Julian when he wanted to transfer all his assets under her name, but he would not listen. He said he would never regret it.
However, there was nothing in this world that lasted forever.
See, he already regretted it now.
