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

Chapter 349 A Bad Notion

Piqued by curiosity, Madam Shaw opened the package and found a stack of photos sitting in the center.

She picked the photos up, and the moment she saw the photo on the very top, her expression changed.

"Is there anything wrong, Madam?" The servant craned her neck over to have a peek.

Madam Shaw stashed the photos back into the package. Then, she threw an indifferent gaze at the servant and said, "I'm going to take a nap in my room."

After saying that, she returned to her room as fast as she could. Upon sitting on a chair, she took the photos out and began to look meticulously at them one after another. The more she looked at them, the grimmer her expression became.

A man and a woman were depicted in the stack of photos.

She did not know the man, but she was very familiar with the woman. She was none other than Susan.

As if driven by an unknown force, she turned to look a t the date stamp and her heart skipped a beat.

The stack of photos had been taken both before and after Susan's pregnancy.

Madam Shaw remembered that this was the period of time when Susan had gone missing. Then, not long after her return, she had gotten pregnant.

At the time, she had been suspicious of the origin of the baby, so she had tried to talk to Julian about it. However, Julian had full faith in Susan, so she’d had n o other choice but to suppress her

suspicions.

What about now?

Julian trusted her so much, and this was how she repaid his trust? She had been meeting a man in secret just before and after getting pregnant! Everything was bright as day now. It was very apparent that Susan had cheated on Julian.

"That b*tch!" Madam Shaw smacked the table hard as she gritted her teeth tightly.

Whenever she thought about the way Susan had betrayed Julian’s trust, she just wanted to rush over to their house and have a fight with her. 2

Madam Shaw’s first instinct was to show the stack of photos to Julian. She wanted him to know Susan's true colors. However, in hindsight, she realized it would be better to wait. She knew her son very well. Not only was he a devout lover, but Susan also had him right in her palm. There was a high probability that he would still choose to believe Susan even if she showed him the photos.

"I must get my hand on some solid evidence before exposing that slut in front of Julian," Madam Shaw hissed as a dark glint crossed her eyes. "The child is definitely not Julian’s. As long as I can take her to do a

DNA paternity test, there's no way Susan can talk her way out of it anymore."

Madam Shaw had always had a hunch that Julian was not the father of the child. Now that she had finally gotten her hand on some concrete proof, this hunch was becoming stronger and stronger.

However, just how was she supposed to take the child out for a DNA test?

Madam Shaw paced around the room.

She did not have much of a problem getting Julian’s genetic material. Even though he was not with her right now, she had prepared beforehand. She had secretly plucked one of his hair not long ago, and the hair was still sitting inside a sterile bag. However, the same did not apply to the baby.

She was too small, so instead of using her hair, her blood was required to run a DNA test.

Therefore, she had to find a way to sneak the baby out.

She was Susan's mother-in-law, so she figured that it would not be that difficult for her to do this.

The main issue was how she was supposed to get the DNA test done without letting Julian realize what she was doing.

Ever since she had told him that she wanted to take the baby to do a DNA test, Julian had been keeping a wary eye on her. He had planted a lot of his men in the house and made them double as servants. Therefore, i f she were to go to an ordinary hospital, Julian would certainly know about it. 1

"I must find a place Julian cannot find and do the test there,” Madam Shaw mumbled.

She did not dare tell anyone about her plan, so she could only look for a way to do it herself.

Heaven always favored those who helped themselves. Eventually, she stumbled upon an opportunity.

During a conversation with one of her friends, she heard that there was a new private hospital in Ningcheng City. The doctors there were all very experienced and they did a very good job securing patient confidentiality.

Madam Shaw became interested when she heard that the hospital was new and instantly made her move the moment she heard they were very good at securing patient confidentiality.

She subtly got the address of the hospital from her friend. Then, she went to the hospital in advance to confirm that they did offer DNA paternity tests.

After doing that, she waited for the right opportunity t o put her plan into action.

In the morning, Chesney was still sleeping soundly in her crib. Her face was angelic as she slept. Susan looked gently at her for a while before reluctantly peeling her gaze away.

"This little fellow looks more and more like you."

Serenity chuckled.

"She has my eyes, but she has her father's nose," Susan said.

"Well, she looks more like you," Serenity said as she ran her eyes up and down Chesney. Then, she added, "I n any case, I'm sure that she'll grow into a gorgeous young woman. I can’t wait to see her grow up."

Susan looked gently at Chesney for a while and then said, "I hope she doesn't grow up too fast. The adult world is really complicated, and I wish she can live a carefree life for a while longer."

Serenity chuckled. "You're right. Oh yeah, you have to go back to the hospital to get a follow-up check today, right? I’ll go with you."

"It's okay. I can go by myself," Susan interjected.

During her last check-up, the doctor had said that the result of the B-scan examination had been kind of blurry. He wanted her to find a day to go back and have another check-up, and today was the day she had made an appointment with the doctor.

"Nope. I already said I wouldn't leave your side,” Serenity said decisively.

"Alright, alright. Let's go together." Serenity's tenacity made Susan blush.

She continued to look at Chesney for a while. Then, she entrusted the servants to take care of her daughter before departing reluctantly for the hospital

with Serenity.

Madam Shaw arrived not long after they left.

"Where is Chessie?” she asked straightforwardly.

"Little Miss is still sleeping, Madam," the servant replied with a smile.

"Bring me to her."

Madam Shaw walked upstairs and saw Chesney’s angelic sleeping face.

Chesney was adorable, but Madam Shaw's face was getting ugly.

'Hmph! You are a mere b*stard. I'm going to expose both you and your mother's true colors and then kick both of you out of my family!'

She then scooped Chesney up from the crib.

The servant was taken aback by her sudden action. She went forward and asked, "Madam?"

However, Madam Shaw just threw her a cold gaze and said, "Chesney is three months old and hasn't been to the Shaw Mansion yet. A few friends of mine have been asking about her, so I'm bringing her to meet them."

"Then I'll come with you, madam..."

"That is not necessary. I'll be back in one hour."

Madam Shaw stole a glance at the servant. "I’m her grandmother. Do you think I would be so heartless as t o hurt her?"

"Please don't misunderstand, madam," the servant hastily said as she put her hands up. "Of course I'm sure that you will take good care of Little Miss. I'll see you in an hour then. Please take care of Little Miss, madam."

Madam Shaw nodded and hurried away with Chesney. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The servant looked at her retreating back but did not think too much about it. After all, Madam Shaw was Chesney's grandmother, so there was no way she would harm her.

Meanwhile, Susan and Serenity breezed through the check-up via the VIP channel.

The blurry spot on the scan became clear this time. Susan had recovered well, and there was nothing wrong with her body.

"See? I already told you that I'm fine. If you had believed me, then we wouldn’t have had to make a trip here," Susan said, offering Serenity a grin.

"Well, we shouldn't take postpartum recovery lightly. Besides, it's always better to be safe rather than sorry," Serenity said.

"Yeah, you have a point," Susan replied.

After that, they went into the car and rushed home.

Perhaps this was the natural connection between a child and the mother, but ever since Chesney had been born, Susan had always felt restless when she was away from her.
