Chapter 18 Not Pregnant Yet?


    "Julian, why are you standing there? Come in quickly," Madam Shaw said.


    Julian walked over with Susan while Charlotte stood there as pale as a ghost, unable to show any


    expression on her face.


    Although she only dated Julian for a short period of time, she always thought that she was different


    compared to all of his other women.


    If it was fated for him to have a Mrs. Shaw, why could she not be that person?


    Three years of constant self-cultivation finally saw her return to capture this man’s heart. She had


    thought of a million scenarios of their meeting.


    However, none of them matched what was in front of her eyes.


    Julian had actually gotten himself a wife.


    Now, he was standing in front of her with his wife! The worst part was that she had boasted to


    Susan the day before.


    Now, Charlotte felt her face hurt at the thought of the words she said.


    Was she not now...the wild woman?


    Her expression seemed awful.


    If there was a hole in the ground, she would have crawled into it.


    "You have done well these few days." Madam Shaw looked at Susan while saying ndly, "I heard


    that Julian has been well-behaved these few days."


    "Yes, he has." Susan straightened her back.


    Madam Shaw was a strict woman and reminded Susan of her disciplinary teacher, so she would


    stiffen while facing the older woman.


    "Why are you so nervous? Am I going to devour you?" Madam Shaw frowned. "You can take the girl


    out of the vige but you can never take the vige out of the girl!"


    She never really liked Susan. After all, her family background could not evenpare to a normal


    household.


    She had a sickly elder brother. That brother of hers had cardiovascr and mental problems, but it


    was unknown if it was hereditary.


    If not for the fortune teller that said that Susan''s date o f birth matched Julian’s and would act as a


    disaster prevention measure for him, she would not have ever wanted a daughter-inw like Susan.


    However, since Susan got married to Julian, his wild ways had improved. That was why she


    tolerated Susan’s existence.


    Susan was used to Madam Shaw’s dissatisfaction, so she could only lower her head. She was


    grateful for the older woman no matter what. If not for her, Susan’s elder brother would have lost his


    life. As long a s it could save her elder brother''s life, a few harsh words meant nothing.


    Susan’s obedience annoyed Madam Shaw further. Sheined, "Charlotte, look at my


    daughter-inw. She looks pitiful all the time like I bullied her. Tell me, am I really that frightening?"


    Madam Shaw’s words made some color return to Charlotte’s face. It seemed like Madam Shaw was


    not satisfied with Susan. That meant that she stood a chance!


    Charlotte broke into a smile and walked over to Madam Shaw as she chuckled, "Aunty, you''re so


    warm and nice. The word ''frightening'' doesn''t exist anywhere near you."


    Sheughed and continued talking as Madam Shaw continued to show affection towards her. Then,


    Madam Shaw looked at Susan and lectured, "Please learn these good traits from others."


    Susan’s head bowed down and said softly, "Yes."


    With the ambiance being so awkward, Julian frowned and said, "Mom, don''t keep giving lessons.


    Where''s dinner?"


    "Let’s eat since you''re hungry.” Madam Shaw looked at Charlotte. "Charlotte, please stay and have


    a meal with us."


    "I don''t think that''s convenient...” Charlotte peered at Julian and pretended to be shy.

    "What''s not convenient? Unless you''reining about our family''s dishes are too simple for


    you?" Madam Shaw said.


    "It''s definitely not that. Then, I’ll stay for dinner with you, Aunty."


    Madam Shaw was very strict with her rules. She always believed that no conversation was allowed


    at the dining table. Therefore, the entire meal was eaten i n silence.


    Susan made sure she sat up straight and only took the dishes in front of her. She dared not even


    look at the dishes that were a little further away.


    As she was pretending to eat in a virginal way, a peeled prawn appeared in her bowl. Susan


    nced to the side and saw Julian peeling the prawns with a stern face.


    Susan opened her mouth to say something, but at the thought of Madam Shaw''s rules, she did not


    say a word.


    When Charlotte saw Julian’s action, a sh of anger emerged in her eyes. Julian had never been so


    caring towards her when they were dating!


    ''What kind of spell did Susan cast that made Julian treat her this way?’ She gripped her chopsticks


    tightly subconsciously, unable to ept it.


    If Susan was better than her in every aspect, she had nothing toin about. However, this


    woman was so ordinary, so how did she be Julian’s wife?


    After dinner, Madam Shaw wiped the corner of her mouth to signify that everyone was allowed to


    speak.


    Charlotte stood up to leave and Madam Shaw did not ask her to stay.


    Inviting a guest to stay for dinner was manners. Anything more than that was unnecessary.


    Charlotte nced deeply at Julian, then turned to leave. The incidents that evening were out of her


    prediction, but she obtained very important news.


    Julian Shaw had a wife and her name was Susan Shelby. It looked like she had to thoroughly


    investigate this woman.


    "Susan, how''re you this month?" Madam Shaw suddenly asked her once Charlotte left.


    Susan understood the question. She tugged at the corner of her clothes in a somewhat depressed


    manner, then said softly, "Nothing yet."


    "Nothing yet?" Madam Shaw became dissatisfied instantly. "You’ve been married for more than a


    year. Why aren''t you pregnant yet? Don''t you learn from the other women who don''t want to have


    kids due to their fear of gaining weight." "I..." Susan continued to lower her head.


    Julian did not even like her and he would not even touch her, so who should she have a baby with?


    "Julian, you too. Go home more frequently!" Madam Shaw continued to lecture, "It doesn''t matter


    how you fool around outside. We should focus on important things like continuing the bloodline."


    "Mom, aren''t you tired of saying the same thing all the time?" Julian grew impatient.


    "Are youining just because I said a few words?" Madam Shaw stared at him.


    Julian immediately apologized, "No, no."


    Madam Shaw harrumphed. "Young people nowadays have so many things going on. Sometimes


    they want a DINK*. Sometimes, they..."


    She was lecturing them when Julian’s phone suddenly rang.


    He answered the call and his expression turned serious.
