Chapter 422 A Failed Scheme


    The next day, Julian got up energetically while Susan was still trembling in bed.


    "It''s nine o''clock already, and you still don’t want to wake up? Youzy pig.” Julian teased Susan by


    rubbing her nose.


    A look of resentment shed across Susan''s face.


    This b*stard! Didn''t he feel ashamed when he teased her?


    Had he not been franticst night? Would she have been like this otherwise?


    It would not be an exaggeration to say that her legs were cramping now!


    Julian looked like he hadpletely recovered. What i n the world was going on with this man''s


    body structure?


    "You''re forbidden from entering this house if you dare to do this again,” Susan said through gritted


    teeth.


    Julian had an aggrieved expression on his face." Susie, I''m tired too, okay? This was myst resort


    to prove my innocence."


    ''Yourst resort...''


    Susan was leftpletely speechless when she looked at his face, which was glimmering with


    happiness. "You! Scat!" "Would I need to work so hard if it wasn''t for your sudden jealousy? Or was


    my performancest night not good enough?" Julian furrowed his brows and started thinking


    solemnly. "Then I shall put in more effort next time."


    More effort?


    Susan''s expression turned gloomy.


    "You’re still expecting a next time?" Susan red at him.

    "What can I do? If you doubt me again, I can only prove myself this way," Julian said with a helpless


    look.


    Susan took a glimpse at him and said in resignation," Alright, I won''t... I won''t doubt you again.


    Okay?"


    Judging from Julian''s vigorous performancest night, it was hard to imagine that he had just slept


    with another woman.


    "So no more doubts?" Julian''s expression seemed regretful.


    "Nope!" Susan nodded categorically.


    "Actually, I wouldn''t mind you doubting me more frequently in the future," Julian said softly with an


    indescribable gaze.


    Susan blushed and could not help spitting lightly at him.


    The two of them spoke for a while, but Susan felt embarrassed all of a sudden. "You and Wi


    Doyle were really high school ssmates?"


    "Yup," Julian responded.


    "Nothing has happened between you two?" Susan confirmed again.


    "Do you need me to prove it again?" Julian stared at Susan helplessly. As he said that, he was


    about to walk toward Susan.


    "No, there''s no need! I believe you, I believe you." Susan pulled back and hid under her nket like


    a duck in a thunderstorm.


    If Julian were to prove it a few more times, she would die.


    Julian could not help being amused as he looked at her panicked expression.


    "If there’s nothing between you two... then I might have gone overboard yesterday," Susan said in


    embarrassment.


    Her attitude toward Wi yesterday seemed rather outrageous now.


    "It’s okay." Julian rubbed her hair. "You didn''t mean to do it."


    Susan gave it some thought and asserted, "I’ll apologize to herter."


    Wi was their guest after all, and her attitude had been too rude.


    "It’s your call." Julian could not help but chuckle as he saw Susan blush.


    As the two of them were talking, somebody knocked o n the door suddenly.


    Julian went to open the door and saw Chesney standing behind it eagerly. "Dad, you''ve woken up?"


    "Yes." Julian grinned and picked her up.


    "Why is mom still sleeping?" Chesney made a face at Susan, who was still in bed. "Mommy is a


    lazybones. Mommy iszier than Chessie."


    "Yup, and Chessie should not learn from mommy," Julian said with a smile.


    "Chessie won''t do that," Chesney said with a chuckle.


    Susan could only re at Julian in indignation.


    It was almost 10 o''clock when Susan went downstairs on trembling legs.


    Madam Shaw''s face turned gloomy as soon as she saw her. "You’re waking up at such an hour,


    huh? It''s almost 10 already. You''re truly an adult who doesn''t know how to be a role model for a


    child."


    "Mom, I was the one who overslept." Julian rified with a frown.


    "You only cover for her." Madam Shaw snorted coldly." Look at Wi. She woke up so early that she


    helped with breakfast in the kitchen. Aren’t you


    embarrassed?"


    Wi responded immediately, "It was nothing, madam. I''m just used to waking up early, and I saw


    that the kitchen was busy so I went in just to help out a bit. After all, I''m staying here now, so I''ll be


    troubling you quite a lot. Thus, it''s only right that you let me do what I can."


    Susan looked at Wi''s gentle eyes, hesitated for a bit, and then walked over slowly. “Ms. Doyle."


    "Mrs. Shaw." Wi stood up immediately, her eyes beaming with a strange hint.


    This woman, Susan Shelby, had embarrassed herst night.


    Today, she would probably want to continue embarrassing her.


    Wi was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she was looking forward to it!


    Julian knew that she was staying there to help treat Susan’s illness. If Susan were to continue to


    treat her aggressively, Julian would only feel guilty and would start to get annoyed with Susan.


    As his guilt for her amassed and his annoyance for Susan umted, everything would fall into


    ce.


    While Wi was expecting an irrational reaction from her, Susan said softly, "I wasn''t feeling well


    yesterday and my hospitality was poor. I apologize for that and I hope you can forgive me."


    Wi was waiting for Susan to do something embarrassing. However, she unexpectedly got an


    apology. Traces of surprise shed through her eyes.


    Where had she gone wrong?


    After all that she had done, Susan had clearly misunderstood yesterday, hadn''t she?


    Why was she suddenly better today?


    Wi’s emotions fluctuated, but her expression was still calm. She quickly replied, "Your hospitality


    was poor? How so? I''m really thankful that you have taken me in, Mrs. Shaw."


    Susan gave her a faint smile. "In short, you’re wee to stay, Ms. Doyle."


    This time, she took the initiative to extend her hand.


    Wi took her hand without any hesitation.


    The atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.


    Julian''s eyes were glimmering with hints of relief.


    Wi was currently the only person who could save Susie. Although Julian could not exin, he


    naturally hoped that Susan could maintain a good rtionship with Wi.


    Wi did not show anything on the surface, but she was slightly irritated deep down. Where had she


    gone wrong? Why would Susan not doubt Julian all of a sudden?


    She secretly observed the interaction between Susan


    and Julian.


    When Susan was walking, her legs looked awkward. A t first, she wanted to walk slowly by herself,


    butter o n, Julian picked her up directly.


    "What are you doing?" Susan blushed and hit Julian''s chest in embarrassment.
