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

Chapter 155 Will You Marry Me?

Isabelle’s eyes sparkled with merriment. She suppressed her exhilaration and asked with great concern, "So now what? Should I keep waiting?”

Truth be told, Susan was disappointed. She had no idea whether Little Leaf forgot about their promise or i f he had already forgotten about her.

Sighing, she then replied, "I think you can come back now. Thank you, Isa."

"Don't mention it, Susie. This is nothing. Besides, you wouldn’t have been involved in an accident if you hadn't come to get me," Isabelle said softly. "But he didn't show up, and I didn't help you anything..."

"It's okay. You’ve already done your best. I'm the one who took it too seriously," Susan said. "After all, we were still kids at that time. Besides, it's something more than 20 years ago, so I think it's normal for him not to come."

"It's good that you understand, Susie. Anyway, I'm coming back now," Isabelle said. Then, she hung up the call.

"Ahhh!" Susan shouted disappointingly.

'Little Leaf, you b*st*rd. How can you forget about our promise?’

However, after giving it a second thought, Susan felt it was reasonable. Little Leaf came from a reputable family. To him, Lin County was just a slum and she was merely one of his childhood friends.

He should have a wider world and he should've met a lot more people after leaving Lin County. He would not remember a twenty-year-old promise and there was a probability that he had totally forgotten about her.

The thought made Susan feel even more sad and depressed. She punched the bed exasperatedly and hissed inwardly, 'Hmph, well then, since Little Leaf has already forgotten me, I suppose I don't need to keep him in my heart anymore.'

After a few hours, Susan's phone rang.

"Where are you, Susie? I’m home now but I don't see you." Julian's voice wafted over from the other side of the line.

Susan blinked her eyes. "Aren’t you on a business trip? How did you come back so soon?"

"Yeah. It's done, so I came back," Julian answered. The tenderness in his eyes softened his hard jawlines, and he had an inexorable urge to see Susan right now.

"I'm on my way back," Susan hastily added.

She did not let Julian know that she was in the hospital as it was just a small accident and she was fine now. Besides, she did not want to make him worried.

After she hung up the call, she then summoned the doctor and told him to discharge her from the hospital. Before this, her head was still swimming, but now the dizzy spells were gone.

"Doctor, can I be discharged from the hospital now?” she asked the doctor.

"Well, we didn't detect any complications as of the moment," the doctor said. "So, yeah, you may go home. But you must keep an eye on your own condition and come back to us if you experience any discomfort."

"Okay," Susan assented.

After going through all the discharge formalities, she then left the hospital.

She had the people from the Four Square Center tow her car away. Even though her vehicle did not suffer any damages from the crash, she needed to reinstall a new airbag. As such, she had to flag down a cab to go home.

"Woah!” The moment she stepped into the house, Julian pulled into a tight embrace, holding her in between his arms so tight as if he was holding the entire world.

Susan was thrown in for a loop by Julian's sudden affection. It took her for a long while to come around. She moved her arms around Julian, caressing his back softly as she asked, "What's wrong, Julian?"

Julian did not reply. He just lowered his head and planted a deep, lingering kiss on her lips.

The kiss was deep and exciting. Susan was clueless about what had gotten into Julian that made him so excited. She could feel her knees going weak as she gradually slumped into his arms.

It was at this moment that Mama Jean emerged from the kitchen with a plate of fruits in her hands. When she saw the lovely-dovey scene between Julian and Susan, she shrunk back into the kitchen as it was something that she should not see.

After a long while, Julian released Susan from his embrace and said in a deep voice, "I love you, Susan."

"Hmm?" Susan still had not recovered from the passionate kiss. She looked puzzledly at Julian.

A grin hopped onto the tips of Julian's lips when he saw Susan's confused look. He reached out and rubbed her head, destroying her ponytail and making her hair tumble over her shoulders.

"Stop it, Julian! You're messing up my hair!” Susan glowered at Julian, in which the latter just smiled in return.

"Why are you smiling? Do you know how difficult it is t o get my hair done?" Susan snarled as she made a threatening gesture at Julian.

Looking at Susan, Julian felt that his heart had finally found a place to land.

As long as Susan stayed by his side, it did not matter who Little Flower was anymore.

"Susan,” Julian suddenly called her name.

"What?" Susan replied crossly as she tied her hair up.

Then, in the next second, Julian suddenly dropped on one knee and held out an exquisite box with his hand.

Susan froze as disbelief filled her eyes. Her heart leaped into a gallop as she somewhat had a hunch of what he was about to do.

"Julian, you..." Before she could say anything, Julian opened up the box, revealing the shiny diamond that sat in the center.

"Susan Shelby, will you marry me?" Julian asked, his voice deep and serious.

Susan could not believe what she was seeing right now. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

'Is Julian proposing to me?’

Even though they had been married for more than a year, Julian had never proposed to her and they did not have a wedding ceremony either. It was a forced marriage that was not based on true love. As such, Susan was kind of surprised that Julian would propose to her now.

Looking at Susan, who was standing frozen stiff, Julian narrowed his eyes, "You are not going to say yes?"

Truth be told, Susan did not know what to react to. A faint flush suffused her cheeks as she said nervously,"

We have been married for more than a year, so why are you proposing to me now..."

"That's different," Julian’s face was serious as he announced, "Susan, I'm telling you this. I, Julian Shaw, want to spend the rest of my life with you. Now, you only have to answer me. Will you marry me?"

Julian’s face softened into a smile when he imagined having Susan standing by his side for the rest of their life.

He did not forget that he owed Susan a proper proposal and a wedding. Initially, he thought Susan was Little Flower, so he planned to propose to her once again on the day they promised to meet each other 20 years ago.

Susan was not Little Flower, but it did not matter anymore.

The person he fell in love with was Susan. It did not matter if she was Little Flower or not as she was the woman that he wanted to be with for the remainder of his life.

Julian was so serious that Susan did not know how to respond. She looked into his eyes and seemingly could see stars and moons in them.

All of a sudden, a grin crossed her face as she said," What if I say no?”
