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

Chapter 197 The Only Secret Is That I Love You

Julian Shaw was actually Little Leaf.

Susan Shelby felt like she was in a dream.

Julian was actually Little Leaf?

How... How was that possible?

Yet, it was reality.

Susan suddenly felt like she was at a loss of how to face Julian.

"You... You should put me down first!" said Susan weakly.

"I don't want to," said Julian.

Susan was blushing ever so slightly. She bit her lower lip. "Put me down first. I... I still haven’t packed my stuff, I have to go back to do some packing."

"No need for that. Someone will help you pack up and bring your stuff back. I can guarantee that there won't be any missing items, not even a piece of fabric,” said Julian.

Susan could not help glaring at him. "Bring back? I haven't agreed to go back with you yet!"

Julian could not help laughing at once. "So, you're not planning to go back yet?"

Susan felt rather guilty but she still stubbornly said,"

This is a pretty good place. Why should I go back?"

The misunderstanding was resolved, and yet for some reason, her heart was racing in an unusual manner after she found out that Julian was Little Leaf. She had the urge to run away rapidly even.

Julian lowered his head and looked at Susan in a slightly strange manner.

The closer he got, the redder was Susan’s blush. When their faces were almost touching, Susan could not refrain herself from saying, "What are you doing?”

A meaningful smile emerged in Julian's eyes as he gazed at Susan now. After a long while, he said softly," Susie, you can't be...shy, right?"

Her mood was suddenly exposed so she was furious. She had no idea where she got her strength but she managed to struggle free from Julian and jumped down instantly. "I'm not shy."

"Then why is your face so red?" Julian pestered Susan constantly as if he had just discovered a new continent.

"That is because the weather is too hot!" 1

"It's the middle of winter now!"

"Is it wrong that I’m dressed too warm?" said Susan in an unpleasant tone.

Julian could not help chuckling. "It's fine."

The way he looked when he suppressed a laugh was truly abominable. Yet for some unknown reason, Susan’s face blushed even redder.

She turned around and was about to take off.

Julian grabbed her as he suppressed his laughter with great effort. "Don't be shy, Susie."

"I'm not." The blush had already crept its way to her earlobes but Susan still maintained her composure by saying, "Also, please let go of me. We're already divorced."

Julian’s face darkened at once. How dare this woman still have the courage to mention the divorce! Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"I didn't sign it. You can’t get a divorce that's onesided." Julian bit Susan's earlobe once as punishment.

"Susan, you've signed the divorce papers for the second time. If you were to do it for the third time..."

"What would you do then?" asked Susan apprehensively.

"I will continue to tear up the papers," said Julian hatefully.

What else could he do?

The woman was stubborn and difficult.

Yet, whose fault was it that made him choose her since he was young? Moreover, he did not plan to let g o of her in his lifetime.

Julian spoke in a hateful tone but there was an ineffable gentleness in his words.

Susan's entire heart softened at once.

"Susie, let's go back with me. I missed you." Julian struck while the iron was hot. He exhaled his warm breath on Susan's earlobe which tickled her.

I missed you.

Those three words triumphed over thousands of words.

Frankly, she missed him too.

Even when she misunderstood her, she still missed him crazily. Now that the misunderstanding was solved, the longing for him swelled by a thousand times at once. 1

The man was Little Leaf and also Julian Shaw.

She made a promise with Little Leaf when she was a child that she would marry him when she was a grown up.

Now, her love of a lifetime was committed to Julian.

She prayed for two lifetimes. She wanted him for every single one.

The feeling of romance and sentiments surged into her heart gradually. Susan could not help feeling an ineffable gentleness and affection in her heart.

On the return flight, Susan leaned against Julian's chest in his arms and fell into a half-sleep drowsily.

The man’s hug calmed her just as before.

Susan squinted her eyes ever so slightly. She could not help heaving a sigh emotionally in a soft tone. "It's a coincidence really. I didn't expect for you to actually be Little Leaf."

Julian caressed Susan's long hair while making small talk with her. He raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. "Do you think that this is only a coincidence?"

Hmm?

Susan sat upright and said in astonishment, "What do you mean?" 1

"What do you think?" Julian looked at her with a spurious smile. "Why was the birthdate predicted by the fortune teller exactly the same as yours?"

Susan blinked her eyes innocently, then she said, "You bribed the fortune teller!"

"Not too shabby." Julian raised an eyebrow.

"So, you knew that I was Little Flower. Moreover, you’ve been premeditating this for a long time!" Susan said, “Then why were you still deceived by Isabelle?

You're dumb.” 5

The corners of Julian's lips twitched involuntarily as h e looked at Susan's bold and righteous appearance.

This was the first time in his life that he was being called dumb by a person right in front of him.

However, he was deceived by the woman Isabelle for a great deal despite his status as the great CEO Shaw. 1

Julian was rendered speechless at once.

"Moreover, you use different ways to bully me when w e just got married." Susan continued to complain.

"Bully you?" Julian raised an eyebrow. "The worst thing I did was not touch you only. So it turns out that this is considered bullying. Susie, I didn't expect you t o be so eager. If I'd known that earlier, I would have..." i

"Don't talk gibberish!" Susan could not help covering Julian's mouth in embarrassment and anger.

The man really had the courage to say anything.

Julian smiled, stuck out his tongue, and licked Susan’s palm gently once.

Susan loosened her hold subconsciously and blushed scarlet. She was about to say something when Julian had already wrapped his arms around her once again.

Julian chuckled and said softly, "Susie, there was only Luke in your heart at the time. Yet, you had no choice but to get close to me because of my mother. Do you know how pale your face is and how unwilling your expression is every time you see me at the time?"

Julian’s voice seemed to have brought Susan back to the past.

The worldly affairs were marvellous.

The time that felt agonizing and painful at the time felt like a delight now that she thought about it.

Susan scoffed once. "Who's fault is it that made you seem so terrifying at the time?" 2 "I had no clue how to get close to you at the time." Julian said softly, “You were scared of me and dared not get closer to me so I could only use my way to comfort you. Do you still like those gifts that you received during that period of time?"

Susan could not help blinking innocently. "It was you!"

During her most agonizing time, there was always a mysterious person that would frequently send her some small gifts.

She felt especially grateful to the person at the time.

She did not expect that the person was Julian too.

Little Leaf was Julian, and so was the mysterious person.

Susan could not help turning her head to look at Julian. "I really want to know how many secrets you are still hiding from me."

Julian could not help laughing in spite of himself." Susie, in the past, the only secret is that I love you. On the other hand, I don't have any secrets anymore now."
