Chapter 567 Unknown Caller ID


    The next morning.


    It was Saturday, and the kids did not have to attend school.


    Early in the morning, Chessie ran into Susan''s room and stayed by Susan''s side.

    "What happened?" Susan could not help but ask.


    Chesney looked up at Susan, and a trace of worry could be seen in her innocent eyes." Mommy,


    you... Are you going to find Chessie a stepdaddy?"


    Susan was taken aback for a second, then asked amusedly, "There''s no such thing. Why the


    sudden thought?"


    Chesney pouted her lips. "I identally overheard from the servants at home. They said that Daddy


    found himself another woman, so Mommy should''ve gotten herself another man a long time ago."


    Susan was left speechless at that moment.


    Julius had only sent her home!


    Unexpectedly, the servants would gossip up until this point.


    Susan squatted down immediately and looked directly into Chesney''s eyes in a solemn manner.


    "Chessie, you''re the most important person to Mommy. If Mommy has to make any decision,


    Mommy will definitely tell you. So if Mommy didn''t tell you anything, no matter what others say, don''t


    worry about it."


    "Really?" Chesney felt a little relieved.


    "Yes.” Susan nodded affirmatively.


    Having heard that, Chesney waspletely relieved, and after a while, she could not help but ask


    hesitantly, "Mommy ... Daddy found himself another woman. What does that mean?"


    Susan was stunned for a moment, and for a while, she did not have an answer to that question.


    She could not help but nibble her lower lip.


    Over the years, she did not know how to exin the matter between her and Julian to Chessie. She


    only gave the little girl some vague remarks all the time.


    But now...


    Susan felt that she could not keep the secret anymore.


    Julian was about to have another child already, and this matter could be kept from Chessie for a


    while, but could it be kept from her for a lifetime?


    "Mommy, why aren''t you talking?" Chessie nced at Susan, and a hint of anxiety shed through


    Chessie’s eyes.


    Susan took a deep breath and exined slowly, "Chessie, there are many rtionships in this


    world, there''s kinship, there’s love, and there’s friendship. Kinship is bound by blood, it''s a


    rtionship thates with you from the moment you were born, and one can’t break away from


    such a rtionship. For example, Chessie is Daddy and Mommy''s child, and Daddy and Mommy


    will always love you."


    Susan tried to reduce the damage that could be done to Chessie by tactfully choosing her words.


    Chessie gazed at Susan ignorantly. "Then... what about love and friendship?" "Both love and


    friendship are rtionships established by two strangers due to various reasons. Does Chessie


    have many good friends in kindergarten?"


    "Yeah." Chesney nodded.


    "Now you see, when you went to kindergarten in Jerucity, you had many good friends, but after


    coming back to Skyking City, those friends that you made in Jerucity, how many of them have you


    not contacted anymore?”


    Chesney nodded again.


    Susan rubbed her hair softly. "So, we all will have different friends at each stage of our lives, and


    there are very few who can apany us forever. The bond of friendship is, most of the time, not


    as deep and strong as kinship.”


    Chesney seemed to have understood some parts of it. "Then Mommy, what about love?"


    "Love..." Susan said gently, "Love is the attraction between two strange souls. If the love between


    two people is strong enough, they will form a family and have cute kids. Just like Mommy, Daddy,


    and Chessie.


    Because of love, Mommy and Daddy came together, and because of that, Chessie was born."


    Chessie listened very attentively, Susan organized her words before continuing, “ However, love is a


    rtionship that will disappear. If the two souls are no longer attracted to each other, then


    continuing life together bes torture. Mommy and Daddy came together because of love, but if


    there''s a time when we don''t love each other anymore, it''s only natural for us to separate from each


    other.”


    So, Daddy and Mommy don’t love each other anymore?" Chesney''s eyes widened.


    "Yes." Susan said frankly, "So Mommy and Daddy have decided to separate. Chessie, Mommy


    hopes that you''ll understand that being together because of love and parting because of love are


    two very natural processes. Daddy and Mommy will each handle the affair well. But Chessie, you''ll


    always be Daddy and Mommy''s favorite child. This will never change.”


    Chesney became silent.


    Susan looked at Chessie worriedly, wondering how the kid would react.


    “Mommy... Both of you, will always love me, right?" Chesney raised her head and stared at Susan.


    "Of course." Susan hugged her tightly.


    But deep down, her heart skipped a beat from all the mncholy.


    She promised that she would give Chessie all the love that she could give.


    But Julian... Would he still love Chessie after he has another child?


    Would Chessie be sad after knowing that she was going to have a younger brother?


    These were things Chessie would have to face sooner orter.


    But at this moment, Susan still did not want Chessie to face the cruelty. She opted to tell Chessie


    the stories between her and Julian in a calm way and conceal all the love and hatred from her.


    She hoped that Chessie would be able to lead a peaceful and joyful life, without any trace of hatred


    and pain in her heart.


    She did not expect Julian to treat Chessie like a princess in the future-she only hoped that he would


    show Chessie some warmth and gentleness, even if he had to fake it.


    Susan tightened her embrace as she thought of that.


    When she was in Susan''s arms, Chesney had experienced for the first time in her little heart, what it


    meant to be at a loss.


    ''So, Mommy and Daddy will really separate from each other this time?


    ''They also will not reconcile likest time already?’


    Chessie was at a loss, but she was a good girl. She felt that Susan was feeling downcast at the


    moment too, so she tried to pretend not to care.


    She could do it.


    Susan did not tell anybody about Wi’s pregnancy, and Julian did not spread the news either, it


    was still in a state of confidentiality at this moment.


    But Susan knew that it could not be kept for long. When the news spread, the family would start to


    worry about her again.


    So, she chose to conceal the matter for as long as possible, each extra day was considered a


    bonus to her.


    Today, Susan got a call from an unknown caller ID.


    Susan thought that it was some random telemarketing phone call, so she hung up the call directly.


    After some time, she received a notification on her Facebook. Somebody had sent her a friend


    request.


    Susan was about to reject the request, but when she took a good look at the profile


    picture, she reacted to it instantly.


    She approved the friend request, then asked tentatively, "Julius Jenner?”


    "Yeah, it''s me." Julius replied, "You didn''t pick up my call, so I could only contact you here."


    "I’m so sorry. You can call now since I know now." Susan rushed her reply.


    The phone rang again. It was that same unknown caller ID, and Susan picked up the call instantly


    this time.


    "Ms. Shelby, it’s not easy to contact you." There seemed to be a hint of amusement in Julius''s voice.


    Susan was embarrassed. She then said, "I have been harassed by too many telemarketing calls, so


    I seldom answer calls from strangers."
