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

Chapter 296 How Similar

"Ouch." Anna snapped out of it with Oliver’s reminder and blushed instantly. Once she talked to Jacob, she forgot about everyone else.

Oliver was rather surprised by Anna's girlish mannerism. Looking at how she was acting, it was obvious that she was smitten. He could not help scrutinizing Jacob.

Then, Oliver realized that he recognized the man.

"You’re the developer of the SL System?" Oliver asked with interest.

"Yes," Jacob answered.

"Hahaha!" Oliver looked both approving and admiring. "Good job! The system is our Canadian pride. And Joseph Shaw that fool, his sh*t-eating self was hilarious."

Oliver could not help cackling when he recalled the video.

What he watched was obviously an internal circulated uncensored video, so he managed to catch a clear sight of Joseph's embarrassment.

"Oliver, Jacob's amazing," Anna said with a grin like she was sharing his pride.

Oliver looked at Anna before looking at Jacob and made several nods. "Mm, not bad, quite the match."

“What are you saying..." Anna blushed harder.

"You, girlie, I was going to fight for justice for you, but now it seems that you don't need my help at all?" Oliver felt amused.

"Ah, I have nothing for you to fight about. It was a small misunderstanding previously. It's all been cleared up now. Besides, I wasn't exactly treated badly," Anna said and ran to Susan. "Oliver, let me introduce you to Susan, aka Mrs. Shaw. It's odd, but the first time I saw Mrs. Shaw, I felt like I'd known her for a long time. Mrs. Shaw feels the same way towards me, right?"

Anna looked up at Susan with the latter nodding with a beam.

Oliver took a casual glance at the said girl before his eyes widened.

Her eyes... How similar!

It would have been fine if he did not notice it, but now that he did, Oliver could not shift his gaze away from Susan's face.

He stared at her as time ticked by, putting a frown on Julian as he blocked the former's gaze.

"General Wright," Julian called him out directly, "Is it not a little improper to be staring at somebody's wife?"

"My apologies." Oliver tore his gaze away, still looking a little dazed.

She looked really similar. Could there be such a coincidence in this world?

No, it was impossible. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Oliver, are you coming to take me back? But I don't want to go back yet," Anna said in a huff, not noticing Oliver's oddity.

Her brother could not even leave the military, so it meant a lot when he came to look for her personally. H e was definitely taking her back now that he found her.

For some reason, however, she could not bear to part with that stupid man...

Anna stole a peek at Jacob, feeling mounting frustration. He still owed her a favor.

"Don't want to go back? Then we won't for the time being," Oliver stated straightforwardly.

"Huh?" Anna looked at her brother in confusion, deeply doubting that her ears had failed her.

"That’s set," Oliver said and looked at Julian. "Mr.

Shaw, I've come to Ningcheng in a hurry and haven't found myself any lodging. Can I trouble you for some time?" i

He was looking at Julian, but the corners of his eyes fleeted to Susan. Even Anna could see that something was wrong.

Why was her older brother staring at Mrs. Shaw! She thought that it was time he looked for a wife but... but Susan was married! She and her husband shared a good relationship too!

Before Julian answered, Anna tugged Oliver.

"What?” Oliver looked at his sister confusedly.

Anna pulled him to a corner before whispering," Oliver, Susie, and Julian love each other deeply. They can basically die for each other. No one can stand in between them."

"Oh." Oliver nodded. "And?"

He was bewildered as to why Anna was suddenly telling him this.

"Tsk!" Anna stomped her foot. "I know that it's hard to meet someone you like and it's a challenge to hold yourself back but we, the Wrights, are notable people. We can’t snatch someone else’s wife." 1

Oliver was speechless. What the heck! Were they not living in modern times? Why was there a wifesnatching plot?

"Anyway, you're my older brother, but if you're going t o push it, I'll stand on Susie's side for sure," Anne said sternly.

Oliver was even more speechless. Then, he was struck with the realization that his action just now seemed to have caused some sort of misunderstanding.

"Don't worry, I'm not thinking about separating the husband and wife," said Oliver.

"Then you...” Anna's gaze was sympathetic. "My poor brother. He found love finally but it has to be onesided."

"You're overthinking it," Oliver deadpanned.

"It's okay. I understand," Anna sighed.

Oliver glared at her without malice before dragging her over by her collars.

"Mr. Shaw, don't misunderstand." Oliver said, "I don't mean anything by staring at Mrs. Shaw. I just think that her eyes are really similar to my mother's."

"Mom's?" Anna was stunned before she looked carefully. After some time, she asked in doubt, "But... n o?"

Oliver sighed. "That's because you've never seen what Mom used to look like. Since Rosalie was lost, Mom cried every day. She no longer looks like what she did before. Her eyes only have sadness in them now. Of course, they don’t look similar. But take a look at this photo."

Oliver retrieved a photo from his wallet. It was a young couple with a boy around five to six years of age.

Anna stared at her mother in the photo and looked at Susan before gasping, "They really look alike!"

Oliver took the photo and passed it to Julian. "Mr. Shaw, you guys have a look too."

Both Julian and Susan were quite astonished when they saw the photo. The woman in the photo looked demure and gentle. Her eyes were at least eighty percent like Susan's currently.

With the misunderstanding resolved, Oliver continued. "Mr. Shaw, can we sit down and talk about i t now?"

His gaze still drifted to Susan, but no one took it wrongly this time.

Julian gave it a thought and agreed. "It's quite cramped here. Let’s go to my house."

At the Shaw Mansion, the handful of them had just sat down when Oliver spoke up impatiently, "Sorry for my direct question but... Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Shelby, are both of you... biological siblings?"
