Chapter 194 It’s Time To Make Your Move
"How long are you going to follow me?” Jacob looked helplessly at Julian.
"Until you decide to tell me Susan's whereabouts," Julian said. "Don’t worry. I have plenty of patience.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Jacob stared at Julian exasperatedly.
At this moment, Julian’s phone rang. He took a look and realized it was Mama Jean.
"Mr. Julian, someone has sent a package to the mansion. It mentions it's very urgent and that you need to open it up right away."
"An urgent parcel?" Julian frowned, "Open it up for m e, Mama Jean."
Right now, there was nothing more important than Susan's safety to him.
"Okay," Mama Jean replied. Then, she started to open the parcel while Julian waited.
"Mr. Julian, I opened it up already," Mama Jean said. Then, when she saw the content, her eyes widened in shock as she shouted, "Ms. Susan?! How could it be M s. Susan?"
"What happened?" Julian's eyes constricted.
After some hesitation, Mama Jean then replied, "Erm, Mr. Julian, you better come back and have a look."
Julian did not hesitate and stormed back to the Shaw Mansion.
The moment he entered the mansion, Mama Jean handed him a file pocket. Julian opened the file pocket and his eyes constricted.
There was a stack of photos in the file pocket, and the photos showed Susan talking happily to a man.
Julian rifled through the stack of photos, then a particular one with a signboard caught his attention and he stopped.
"The Earnest!"
He immediately sent the photo over the Seth and had him search through the net. After crisscrossing with hundreds of places named 'The Earnest' on the net, Seth finally found the one they were looking for and h e quickly sent the address to Julian.
"Julian, who's this man in the photo?" Seth asked.
"Friend? Maybe,” Julian said, a hint of envy laced his voice. "Although she's my wife, I can't stop her from making friends."
In the photos, although Susan was talking happily with the man, she kept a distance from him. They looked like normal friends, so other than being envious of the man, Julian did not think too much.
After he got the address, Julian immediately asked a servant to prepare his private jet.
"Mama Jean, do you know who sent this parcel here? Did you see the person's face?" Julian asked Mama Jean.
"Unfortunately, no sir," Mama Jean scratched her head, "The parcel was already there when I went out this morning."
"Okay," Julian nodded. His brows were deeply furrowed.
Apparently, the person was telling him Susan's address. Susan left the house on a whim, so other than Jacob, nobody should know about it. However, the person seemed to know Susan's runaway, so he might have been following Susan the whole time.
Julian's expression changed.
If the person had been following Susan, why would he only reveal her whereabouts to him now?
Suddenly, Julian's heart somersaulted as he had a bad feeling about this.
'Susie, I'll be there soon. Please be fine!"
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Coming,” Susan opened the door and saw Wayne.
"Susie," Wayne smiled, "I found a perfect spot for sketching, so I plan to head there. Do you want to tag along?”
Susan smiled, "I guess I'll pass. I have something else t o do today.”
She had been avoiding Wayne when she realized he was courting her.
"I assure you it won’t take too long,” Wayne pressed o n. Susan had no idea why but she noticed a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Today was the day he promised Isabelle to carry out her plan. He already told Isabelle that Susan was madly in love with him, but he knew it was a lie.
He was running out of time, so he found a beautiful place and he planned to confess to Susan there.
However, he did not expect that Susan would reject his offer.
Tm very busy today," Susan insisted.
Wayne became even more nervous.
If he could not finish the plan, Isabelle would not give him the retainage. The people were pushing his father so hard that his father was going to jump off the building. Therefore, he must get his hands on the money as soon as possible. Besides, Isabelle was very close to Julian, and she was going to become his wife eventually. If he could help her reach her goal, glory and fortune would be within reach.
Even if what he was going to do would hurt Julian’s reputation and he might get revenge against him, he just needed to suffer for a short time. After Isabelle became Julian's wife, he was certain that she would compensate him.
'Fortune favors the bold! Just do it!’
Wayne suddenly gritted his teeth and grabbed Susan's hand. Then, he dragged her all the way into the room.
"What are you doing, Little Leaf?" Susan asked. She did not know what he was going to do.
After Wayne closed the door, he looked at Susan and asked, in all seriousness, "Do you still remember our promise, Susie? That we will be together forever after we grew up?”
Susan was stunned for a moment. She did not know why he would bring the topic up all of a sudden. Then, she replied, "We were still kids at that time. I only said it in fun.”
"But I'm not, Susie,” Wayne looked at Susan affectionately as he made the last effort, "You know what, Susie? When you first came here, I was looking a t you from a distance and I've already fallen
in love with you at first sight. That's why I would knock your door and try to make friends with you."
Wayne’s eyes were getting warmer, "Then, it turns out that the girl I fell in love at first sight is actually Little Flower! Isn't this the work of God?”
Susan was stunned. She hastily said, "But I have a husband!"
"Even if you have a husband, the fact that you're alone here means your relationship is not that good. Susie, you have to let go of the past to welcome the future.
You have to say goodbye to the wrong one to embrace the right one. I'm the right man for you, Susie. Our fate is destined by God,” Wayne said.
"I'm sorry,” Susan said, "I love my husband very much, Wayne. I can't accept your confession."
Right now, Susan just wanted to dispel Wayne's baffling thought.
"Susie, I love you so much. Can't you give me a chance?" Wayne pleaded.
"I'm sorry," Susan insisted.
Suddenly, Wayne's expression changed and he narrowed his eyes. A predatory glint flashed in the depth of his eyes as he hissed, "Initially, I didn’t want t o force you, but since you don’t want to cooperate...”
His face suddenly turned grim and he flung Susan onto the couch.
"What are you doing, Wayne? Let go of me!" Susan looked at him in horror.
Gone was the gentle Little Leaf. There was something about him that made Susan want to get away from him. "Don't be scared. I'm very good at this, so I'm certain you will enjoy this," Wayne said.
