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

Chapter 102 Clear Her Conscience

Julian Shaw's skin was still flushing ever so slightly after the shower. His figure that appeared weak and skinny looked especially muscular without clothes. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Susan Shelby felt her cheeks burning so much that she thought she would get a fever soon.

The perfect man operation was finally a success.

Julian cracked into a contented smile.

He bent over and stared at Susan with a deep gaze." Woman, do you like what you're seeing?"

Susan nodded subconsciously.

"Is it better than those damn sketches?” Julian led her on.

Susan continued to nod.

Julian's smile grew even deeper. "So, are you going to choose me or continue sketching?"

He speculated that it was not a difficult choice to make.

The choice was decided easily just as expected.

Susan turned around without the slightest hesitation." It's almost time for the finals. My practice is still far from sufficient.”

Julian pulled a long face.

He grabbed Susan's arm at once.

"What... What are you doing? I really, really need to draw the sketches." Susan did not have the courage to look at him at all and she was stuttering.

Despite appearing rather calm on the surface, her heart was already beating out of her chest!

'Jul... Julian, you’re a devil!'

'He’s doing this to seduce you, right?'

'Is he really seducing you?'

The tragedy was that she was indeed seduced by him.

Julian raised an eyebrow and grunted coldly. "Are you still going to draw the sketches? Do you believe me if I withdraw my investment at any moment that the b* llsh*t competition can’t be organized?"

Julian suddenly felt that he made the biggest mistake in his life for choosing to invest in that good- for-nothing design competition.

"Then I shall invest in it myself." Susan blinked. "It seems that I’m rather wealthy now."

Julian was speechless,"..."

He could not help clenching his teeth in rage. "Susan, you're simply..."

Julian was furious while Susan felt rather amused.

She stood up on her tiptoes and gave Julian’s lips a gentle peck.

Julian immediately raised an eyebrow.

Susan immediately sat back in her seat after brushing her lips on Julian's lips once.

"Alright, I really have to continue to work," said Susan, blushing as she suppressed the wild heartbeat in her chest.

Julian felt a little uncertain in his heart but also a little overjoyed as he looked at her blushing face in the meantime.

It was the first time that Susan had taken the initiative to approach him like this.

He questioned himself if this woman had finally grown fond of him ever so slightly?

Could he anticipate more from her?

"Susan!” Julian called out to her in an exploratory manner.

"Hmm?" The blush and warmth on Susan's face had not faded at all.

"You kissed me earlier." Julian wore a solemn expression.

"Hmm." Susan's voice was so soft it was barely discernible.

"I’m a decent gentleman. You have to bear the responsibility for kissing me," continued Julian.

Decent gentleman...

Susan felt awkward at once. She picked up a back cushion conveniently and was about to toss it at him.

However, she was already wrapped in a warm hug before she could do it.

The back cushion fell onto the floor.

She heard Julian's deep voice in her ears.

"Susan, tell me. Can I make sense of...you falling a little for me?"

Julian's voice was filled with inviting charm.

Susan suddenly felt her entire body turn limp.

He asked her if she was falling for him a little.

Susan questioned her conscience.

Her conscience soon gave her an answer.

She was falling for Julian more than a little, or she should say that she loved him.

The man before her eyes was obviously domineering, narrow-minded, childish, and short-tempered.

Yet, the person who stayed with her every single time she was really in trouble was him.

He would seek revenge for her at once when she was bullied by others.

He would help solve the difficulties that she encountered without any hesitation.

He would cook up shocking lies when Madam Shaw tried to make things difficult for her and blamed himself for being impotent.

He would act first before reporting his actions by transferring his inheritance to her.

At this very moment, she was wrapped in Julian's arms.

Susan realized that she loved him.

She believed that he loved her too.

She was aware that there was a woman that Julian loved deeply in his heart.

However, Seth Leeds was right about not being constantly stuck in the past.

Did her relationship with Luke Jenkins not become past tense already? Everything between Julian and the woman could pass too naturally.

Susan pursed her lips.

She had never enjoyed betraying her conscience.

She liked Luke in the past and that was why she pursued him courageously.

Now that she was older, the courage in her seemed to have faded a little. She was under the assumption that she would never find the courage to indulge in a new relationship.

However, Julian gave her the courage to do it at this exact moment.

'Susan, give it one more try.'

'If you win, it’s a lifetime of triumph.' 'If you lose, you're just going to suffer from another heartbreak.'

Love was a risk.

However, Julian had already taken so many steps to approach her so she should attempt to take a step forward too.

She stretched out her arms with slightly shaky hands and returned Julian's hug.

The man would never know how much courage she had to muster just to return the hug.

Julian loosened his grip on her as he felt the shivering figure in his arms. He gazed at her eyes closely." Susan, you..."

Susan clenched her teeth.

Anyhow, she had already kissed and hugged him. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Julian. Her action stopped all the words that he tried to utter next.

Susan’s initiative slowly made Julian’s gaze burn.

He picked up Susan and placed her on the huge bed.

It was a night of splendor. 1

The next morning.

Susan opened her eyes in a daze and felt ineffable

soreness radiating through her entire body.

"Are you awake?" a deep, hoarse voice asked.

Susan turned her head to the side and blushed scarlet immediately.

At this exact moment, Julian was holding her in his arms. The man was still completely naked.

"Can... Can you please get dressed?" said Susan weakly.

Julian took a side glance at her. "You were scratching and clawing at my back yesterday night. I thought you enjoyed seeing me naked?"

"Go away." Susan got angry from embarrassment and gave him a pinch.

Julian could not help frowning for a moment before h e grabbed Susan's hand and leaned closer.

As his face got closer and closer to her, Julian's entire body tensed.

'What are you doing, Julian?'

'Is he...is he trying to kiss me?"

Susan shut her eyes subconsciously.

"What are you anticipating?" Julian suddenly halted his action and looked at Susan with a spurious smile.

"Huh?" Susan opened his eyes in a daze. 1

"Even though I am your husband, I have the duty of satisfying you but..." Julian assumed an embarrassed expression. "You haven't brushed your teeth yet." 2

Susan pulled a long face at once.

Then, her roaring voice echoed throughout the room.

"Julian! Shaw! Get out of this room!”
