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

Chapter 532 Can’t Meet

Julian Shaw discussed quite a large number of clauses with Willa Doyle in an extremely serious manner as if he was negotiating a business deal.

In the beginning, Willa had a sorrowful expression from Julian's business-like attitude. Afterward, she had no choice but to accept this mode before signing an agreement.

Willa proposed the first condition and it was also the condition that she refused to compromise with after all this time.

Julian had to acknowledge his relationship with Willa as lovers to Susan Shelby. Moreover, Julian had to move in with Willa. They were required to spend time together for five hours every day at a minimum.

Failing to dissuade her from this condition, Julian added numerous additional clauses to this.

The most important clause was that Willa was not allowed to use Susan's illness to threaten him into doing anything else.

At last, both of them signed the agreement.

The agreement could not take legal effect and it did not have any constraint effects either.

The act of coming up with this agreement was meant to decide the general tone for the future.

According to the agreement, Willa would not receive anything else other than some titular matters.

This was slightly different from Willa's planning originally, but she could still accept it with great effort.

After all, Julian loathed her so much now so it was quite impossible for him to accept her in such a short period of time.

However, it was fine for Willa. As long as she could eliminate Susan from the situation first, she believed that Julian would certainly notice her kindness slowly through their time living together and fall head over heels in love with her as a result.

Willa held the agreement tightly and cracked into a faint smile on her face.

“Julian, so are we going to live here from now on?" Willa cracked into a shy smile on her face. "Which room are you planning to stay in? I shall go and clean your room."

Julian said coldly and nonchalantly, "You will only need to clean up your very own room. You will stay in the master bedroom and I'll take any guestroom.

According to the negotiation, the clause indicated that they had to live together but there was no mention that they had to live in one room for sure.

The smile on the corners of Willa’s lips remained unchanged. She acknowledged it with a soft voice. "Alright, then I shall go ahead and tidy up the room.”

Julian felt sorry for his eyes just by taking one more glance at her.

He stood up right away. “I still have some matters to attend to, so I shall make a move first."

"When are you coming back?" asked Willa from behind.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill five hours.” Julian left right away.

A complacent smile flashed past Willa's eyes as she gazed after his departing silhouette.

There was no doubt that Julian was a hard-to-crack target yet the harder he was to crack, the more fight her heart was filled with.

One day, she would make Julian fall in love with her just like how he loved Susan sooner or later...

No, Julian would love her even more than he loved Susan.

"Julian, I will have you completely one day." A wildly ambitious glint flashed past Willa's eyes.

As soon as he left the villa, Julian's upright back relaxed ever so slightly. He sat inside the car in silence.

"Mr. Shaw, where are we heading to?” The driver could not refrain himself from asking after Julian was silent for a very long time.

Julian had not spoken at all.

Just as the driver felt that he would not answer anymore, Julian's deep voice was heard. "Go to the research center."

The driver perked up and immediately drove to the research center.

At the door of the research center, Julian looked up from the window of the car. The second window from the left of the third floor was precisely Susan's room.

The staff members in the research room had been reporting Susan's condition to him all this time. Susan was already breathing evenly after consuming the wonder drug. However, she had yet to regain her consciousness.

Julian's fists tightened involuntarily as he looked at the window in this manner.

He was well aware that he was destined to hurt Susan for the time being in order to let Susan live.

He had no idea...how hopeless Susan would be when she learned that he betrayed their relationship.

Yet, he wanted Susan to live regardless.

Susan once said that she would choose to leave gracefully if he betrayed their relationship.

At the thought of the serious expression on Susan's face when she made the statement, Julian felt his heart wrenched in pain. However, he hoped that Susie could be a little graceful at this exact moment.

He would rather have Susie vent all the pent up anger to him in hopes that she would not hurt herself.

Julian sat downstairs for a long, long time alone.

The driver waited there all this time as well.

He waited there from dawn to dusk until his tummy began growling in hunger.

He couldn't help sneaking a peek at Julian.

"Mr. Bossman, are you made of steel or meal? Please go back for dinner, alright?"

However, he did not have the courage to speak upon noticing the stern expression on Julian’s face.

He waited until the sky darkened completely.

Julian received a text message.

'Mrs. Shaw has already awakened.'

Julian's tense back finally relaxed slowly.

The driver reacted to the situation instantly upon seeing Julian's relaxed expression at once.

It had to be good news about Mrs. Shaw.

He could not help looking at Julian eagerly. "Mr. Shaw, the missus has awakened. Are you going to head upstairs to accompany her?"

Tee-hee, as soon as Mr. Shaw headed upstairs, he would be able to go for a meal resolutely.

The driver was calculating in his heart when Julian looked at the light coming from Susan's room. He pursed his lips ever so slightly and then said with a hoarse voice, "No."

He couldn’t allow himself to meet Susan again.

As soon as he saw Susie, all his senses would collapse and he would certainly be unable to control himself not to hold this woman.

Yet, he had already lost the authority to do so now.

The driver felt very confident of his suggestion initially yet he did not expect that Julian would actually reject it just like that. He could not help widening his mouth in astonishment.

Julian was not in the mood to answer the driver's query. He hesitated for a while, took out his phone, and made a call to George Wright. Then, he said, "Dad, please come out with Oliver and let’s have a talk."

Sure." George had been waiting for this call all this time. He said right away, "Give me an address.”

Julian gave an address. It was a cafe located near the research center.

He headed to the cafe to wait for their arrival first so the driver finally had the time to have a meal.

George and Oliver Wright rushed over at the quickest speed.

"Julian, that woman Willa, she...” Oliver wanted to inquire as soon as he entered the door.

George waved his hand to stop him. Then, he took a seat opposite Julian with Oliver.

"What's your plan to manage this matter? Are you going to tell Susie the truth?" asked George.

Julian was silent for a moment and then he asked, "If I tell Susie that I'm going to be with Willa so I can save her life, how will she react?"

At the thought of Susan's temperament, George hesitated for a moment and then said, "I don't know either."

Julian let out a forced chuckle. "I know her. Susie is headstrong so she won't accept a life that is exchanged with this method. I'm afraid that she might do some foolish things just so I won’t be threatened by Willa anymore." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

George and Oliver did not speak. It was apparent that they agreed that Susan would very much possibly do this too according to their understanding of Susan.
