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

Chapter 575 Promised To Cure Susan

Julian opened his mouth and spoke plainly, "Susie did let me down today.”

Willa's eyes shone.

"However... The baby is alright, and this is what I owe her,” Julian continued as a shadow of guilt darkened his eyes. “She is sick, so don’t you think it would be cruel of me if I went and asked for the family fortune from her right now?"

"But our son..." Willa was nervous.

"Don't worry. If he is really my son, I assure you he would have enough food on the table and clothes to keep him warm," Julian replied flatly.

Willa became anxious.

’Enough food on the table and clothes to keep him warm? That's not what I want at all! What makes Susan think that she has the right to hog Julian's belongings? This isn’t fair! Hold on... Julian said he couldn’t go and get the family fortune from Susan because she is sick. So what if I cure Susan? Would it lessen Julian's guilt?'

It was not hard for Willa to cure Susan. The only problem was whether she wanted to do it or not.

Willa hesitated.

If she cured Susan, she would lose her trump card to keep Julian by her side.

'Wait a second, I still have my baby! But will Julian turn his back on me once the baby is born?'

Willa stole a doubtful glance at Julian as she could not be sure of that herself as well.

Julian seemingly did not notice the thoughts in Willa's head. He just said plainly, "After tonight's incident, I find that a mother will not treat a child sincerely if the child isn’t her own born."

An expression of sadness crept over Julian’s face as he continued, "But I don't have other choices. I don't want to put my child in danger, and I can't do Susie wrong. Even though she has changed a lot and I can't see through her right now, it's me who owes her."

Julian genuinely looked as though he was in a deep dilemma. Something inside of Willa clicked and she suddenly said," Julian, aren't the viruses the reason you feel that you owe her? What if I remove all the viruses from her body?”

Julian stunned for a while, surprise written all over his face as if he had never considered this before. It took him a long while to come around to his senses and said, "Are you sure about that? Are you not afraid of me turning back on you?"

Willa regretted it the moment the words escaped her mouth. However, when she heard about Julian’s concern, she was relieved.

She said, 'To be honest, Julian, I didn't want to use this kind of dirty trick either. It’s just that I love you so much and I really want to form a family with you. Now that we have our own baby, it seems to me that I don’t need to use such a trick to keep you by my side anymore.”

Even though Willa said this, she could not be sure of herself as well.

If she did not cure Susan, Julian would feel guilty for her for his entire life. Then, how about her and the baby? But if she cured Susan, she had to worry that Julian might turn his back on her at any time.

In hindsight, she was pregnant right now and Julian cared a lot for the baby. After the incident in the Quinton mansion, it was very obvious that Julian was dissatisfied with Susan. Therefore, even if

Susan was cured, Julian would not go back together with her anymore for the baby's sake.

Besides, Julian had said that only the biological mother would treat her own kid with a sincere heart. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

As such, she was pretty certain that as long as she had the baby, there was no way Susan could defeat her and Julian could do nothing about her.

However, there was still hesitancy in Willa’s eyes.

Julian was a little excited when Willa mentioned that she could cure Susan, but he forced the excitement back to his stomach pit when he saw that Willa was still a little hesitant about that.

He had to do one last thing to make Willa let down her guard completely.

With that thought in mind, he then said slowly, "Since Susan tried to harm the baby, I can't get back together with her anymore. Even though I feel very sorry for her, if you cure her, I can be freed from my guilt. At that time, I can take the family fortune back from her and give it to our son."

Willa's eyes shone brightly.

"I guess you won’t believe me since it's only an oral promise." Julian said, "I can make a will. If in the future, I have a biological son, everything that I have will be handed over to my first son. I can also notarize the will so that no one can change it in any way after I'm dead."

There were traps in Julian's sentence.

"Biological son" and "first son."

He was very certain that the baby inside Willa's stomach had no relation to her.

However, Willa didn't know about that. She was washed by exhilaration after she heard what Julian said.

Julian had only one son, and that was the baby inside her stomach. With the will, the future of both her and her son would be secured.

Watching Willa's expression, Julian then continued plainly, "If you promise me that you will go to cure Susan, I'll go and take the family fortune back from her to give it to our son. If you don't... I’m sorry I can’t bring myself to say that to her."

Wills swiveled her eyes around and hastily said, “I promise, I promise you, Julian. As long as you get the family fortune back from her and make a will. I'll go and cure her right away. We still have a lot of years to spend ahead, so you will trust me, right?"

Wills had been a careful person. She would not say yes until she got a firm answer.

Julian squinted his eyes and said, “Sure. After you’ve gotten better, I'll go find Susan and get the family fortune back."

"I’m fine. The blade avoided my vitals. I just lose some blood, but otherwise, I’m fine. You can go to find her tomorrow," Willa said in an urgent manner.

A hint of sarcasm flitted across Julian’s face, but Willa failed to capture it. Then, he nodded and said yes.

This night, holding on to her fantasy, Willa slipped into her slumber.

Julian watched her expressionlessly for a while, then he left the room.

He took out a phone, and there was a list of unanswered calls on the screen.

Julian paid them no mind and moved on to open a document that someone sent to him.

It was a video.

The video completely captured the entire conflict between Susan and Willa.

This was what Julian had prepared in advance.

There was no way he would let Susan bear such a stigma.

'Right after Willa cures Susan...’

A trace of coldness crossed Julian's eyes.

The mills of the gods ground slowly. People would always have to pay for what they had done.

After he saved the video in a private folder, Julian then went through the list of unanswered calls.

There were a lot of them.

Seth, Jacob, Luna... Everyone that was close to Susan had called him.

Julian pressed his lips tight but he did not return the call.

He did not tell anyone about his plan, and he did not plan to include anyone in it.

Willa was about to promise to cure Susan, so he would not allow any accidents from this point on.

He wouldn't explain himself even if the whole world misunderstood her.

Suddenly, Susan and Chesney's pale faces surfaced in his mind.

The scene kept on appearing in his head again and again, torturing him until the next morning.

"Susie, Chessie... Very soon, very soon I will return to your side. At that time no one can hurt you anymore."
