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

Chapter 293 Going To See Her

Susan kept her eyes on Julian before she extended her hand to smooth out the crease between his brows.

Julian grabbed her hand and smiled. "I don't look gloomy, I just feel a little chilly. I’ll go get you another layer to put on."

Susan answered with a beam without exposing him." Sure."

Turning around to head to the room, anguish swallowed Julian's gaze at once, but when he came back with a jacket, he was smiling naturally.

Draping the outerwear on Susan, he gently played with Susan's hair. “Jacob's discharge is timely. It's almost the holiday. Let’s spend it together."

"Mm." Susan nodded and glared at the man. "I was already married to you during the last holiday, but you left me at home. Julian Shaw, you should reflect on it."

Not expecting Susan to revisit an old topic, Julian grimaced and rubbed his nose. "Darling, I've done wrong."

"Good that you know." Susan blinked as an idea popped up in her mind. "I'm punishing you to give me a massage at night!"

"Are you sure it’s a punishment?" Julian raised his brow.

His tone was deep and it made Susan blush.

A massage would always easily unravel out of control, but luckily she had a baby now and Julian was a lot more mindful about it.

While both of them spoke, the car that picked Jacob u p arrived at the door.

Susan’s eyes flew toward it unblinking. She made her way over once Jacob got down. "Why are you half an hour late, Jacob?"

"Ah, I went through another checkup before I left." Jacob rustled Susan's hair. "How’s the baby? Is it being good?"

With the baby mentioned, Susan split into a grin. "It’s being fussier these days. I think the baby's going to be a little monkey when it’s born."

"Nothing bad about being a little mischievous. It's also clever.” There was a rare smile on Jacob’s otherwise aloof face.

Susan chuckled. "Jacob, I made a cake for your discharge today. Let's celebrate it."

"Ooh, of course, I’ll have to taste your baking, Susie."

They entered the house as Susan went to cut the cake. It was a small one, as mentioned, and was divided just nicely into five slices. One was for Mama Jean and four were left.

Susan scratched her head. "Hmm, one for me, one for

Julian, one for Jacob... Why do I have one extra? I counted it before. There are five of us..."

She was lost for a moment before she patted her head. "Jacob, where's Anna? Why isn't she here?"

Susan peered at the door while she spoke. She had booked her for one month. Anna should be around when she was not due yet.

With Anna mentioned, Jacob’s face fell.

"Susie, don't mind her," he said icily.

"What’s up?" Susan was confused and could not help asking when she saw Jacob’s pissed look, "Did she offend you again? She's quite nice. Don’t be petty about it."

Jacob was exasperated while looking at Susan. His Susie was too naive, always assuming everyone in this world was good.

She had good feelings about Anna since the beginning, but now? Anna had betrayed her without any hesitation.

Resentment surfaced in Jacob again as he answered coldly, "Susie, you don't know yet, right? Anna is possibly the mole planted by Joseph and Luke."

"Huh?" Susan was befuddled.

She looked at Jacob, then Julian. "What's the situation here?"

"You haven't asked about it so I didn't say anything." Julian pulled Susan to a seat. "That day..."

He recounted his suspicion, but Susan was still at a loss. "You mean Luke came back because she told him? So... I should actually be thanking her?"

She had wanted to keep her baby. If someone had not exposed the secret, she would not have been able to.

"Susie!" Jacob wanted to roll his eyes. "Whatever it is, she mustn't mean well when she told on us. Don't be silly now."

"I know," Susan smiled. "I was just joking. Speaking of which, though, I still don't think that Anna is the spy."

"The more she doesn't look like it, the more possible it is. Otherwise, how could she gain our trust?" Jacob commented impassively.

Recalling Anna's bright-eyed liveliness, Susan shook her head. "I still don't think it’s her."

"You trust people too easily," Jacob remarked and looked toward Julian. "Is Anna still being held captive?"

"Yes." The latter nodded.

There was still suspicion on Anna, so he would not let her go just yet. His men told him that they had found some traces, however, so Anna’s actual identity would be revealed soon. The truth would be revealed then.

"Just locking her up is too easy on her," Jacob

continued to remark expressionlessly.

"Oh, Jacob, why are you so sure that it's her?" Susan looked at him while blinking her eyes.

Her older brother was acting strange. His logical reasoning had been his strength since they were kids - how else was he the best programmer out there? But with Anna, Jacob insisted it was her without any investigation when the evidence was lacking and even Julian was still skeptical.

Jacob scowled. "I'm not the one that’s sure that it's her. She’s the one who did what she shouldn’t! I won't give her another chance to lie to me.”

Susan studied Jacob for a long time, wearing a bewildered expression.

"What are you doing?" Jacob arched his brow.

"I think I’ve discovered something huge," Susan laughed suddenly. "I made the cake counting Anna in. Where’s she confined, Julian? I’ll take this piece to her."

"Why are you going to see her, Susie?" Jacob asked coldly.

"To give her the cake, duh." Susan’s expression was innocent.

"She ratted us out and you’re giving her cake?" Jacob was unable to understand Susan’s mind.

"I still don't think it’s her." Susan had already stood up as she told Julian with a smile, "Let me go see her. I have something to talk to her about too."

Julian's brows were furrowed, but when he saw Susan’s insistence, he complied, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Mm.” Susan nodded and intentionally stared at Jacob. "Are you going, Jacob?"

Was he going... Jacob squinted. To see the woman who lied to him? What was there to see?

For some reason, however, there was an inexplicable sense of yearning from the deepest part of Jacob's heart. He stood up and replied impassively, "Let's go. I n case you’re fooled by that woman again."
