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

Chapter 27 Her Birthday

At the Shaw residence.

"Chairman Shaw, you're so naughty. How could you..."

"Don't you like it?"

"I do, I do. I like it very much..."

Susan ignored the voices at the sofa and went into the guest room silently.

When the guest room door closed, Julian snorted and pushed Isla away.

"Chairman Shaw...” Isla looked at the tightly shut door and suddenly understood what this was all about!

This had already happened on a few occasions.

When Susan appeared, Julian would pretend to be intimate with her. Once Susan left, Julian would push her away. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Isla could not help but frown. 'Julian’s actions don’t match Madam Shaw's opinion that he doesn't like Susan. In fact, he is obviously...obviously too concerned about this woman! If that is so, why won't h e touch her? That way, I stand a chance, don't I?'

However, no matter what her hidden agenda was, Susan was in her way to become Mrs. Shaw.

It was not easy for her to land this opportunity and she would not give up so easily. She only needed an

opportunity. Isla's eyes were filled with ambition.

However, Julian had his gaze fixed on the door and totally ignored the cold flash in Isla’s eyes.

After sulking at the door for a while, he looked at Isla coldly. "Go and hide somewhere! Don't let me see you, and don't let Susan see you!”

Isla's face grew pale, but she acknowledged him silently.

Julian took out his phone after he chased Isla away. The calendar on his phone had a red circle around it.

It was Susan's birthday.

He had planned to celebrate Susan's birthday with her, but she had gotten on his nerves in the past few days.

Julian stared at the date for a long while and snorted coldly in his heart.

There was a saying that went "you can't let a woman get used to something; once they are used to something, they will not respect you."

'Your birthday depends on your behavior for the next few days.'

The next day.

"Chairman Shaw, here are the flower details that you asked for."

"Chairman Shaw, here are the hotel details that you asked for."

"Chairman Shaw, these are the top 100 women's favorite presents."

"Chairman Shaw, this is..."

Following Julian’s instructions, his personal assistant presented different information to him.

Julian vetted the information as he said to his personal assistant, "I just wanted to see the details. This isn't for anybody's birthday, do you understand?"

His personal assistant was speechless. 'CEO, if you didn’t say anything, I wouldn't even have known that you wanted to celebrate someone's birthday.’

Julian looked at his assistant’s glowing face and coughed. "Okay, you can go out."

"Okay." His assistant quickly ran out of the office.

Julian continued to study the information. He did not want to spoil Susan!

He thought to himself, 'Susan is Mrs. Shaw and should be respected in one way or another. This is also for the namesake of the Shaw family.' 1

Julian's heart calmed down after he successfully related the matter to the Shaw family’s reputation, i

The following week, Julian used Isla to trigger Susan t o get a jealous reaction out of her, but her indifference enraged him instead. On another hand, he was secretly preparing an unforgettable birthday for Susan. 2

Julian honestly felt that he was about to have schizophrenia.

He did not ask for much. As long as Susan could care a little about him, he was satisfied. However, that woman refused to give him the slightest comfort. What was even worse was that even though she treated him that way, he still hoped that she could celebrate a nice birthday.

Julian Shaw had the qualities of a love guru!

After his schizophrenic state, Susan's birthday was finally here.

In the morning, Susan stared at the calendar for a long moment before reacting. It seemed like today was her birthday.

These days had been monotonous and she had almost forgotten about it.

During her birthday last year, she had just gotten married to Julian.

That time, she had been devastated as she had just lost her love and her elder brother was sick. She was o n the verge of a breakdown and did not want to celebrate any birthdays.

However, there was something strange. During those dark times, a mysterious person frequently sent her small gifts.

Sometimes, it was some dim sum that she had been wanting to eat for a while.

Sometimes, it was flowers.

Sometimes, it was a bonsai.

On her birthday that year, she also received a present. I t was a book signed by one of her favorite authors.

Although those were small gifts, it gave her the warmth that she needed.

Half a year after she got married to Julian, the gifts stopped.

Until now, Susan was grateful for that person's encouragement. She tried locating that person to no avail, so she could only bury this at the bottom of her heart.

'Birthday?' Susan smiled and kept her memories away. Although it was not such a special occasion, the days were so dull and she could do something about it.

She thought that maybe she could bake herself a cake.

In the car, Susan looked at Julian. "Are you free tonight? Today is..."

Because she thought that having cake alone would be quite lonely, she thought of asking Julian to join her.

"No." Julian put on a cold face and said expressionlessly, "Today I'm not free from morning till night."

"Oh..." Susan swallowed her words. She looked to the front depressingly.

She had no idea what made her want to celebrate her birthday with Julian. Even if he had the time, he

would get intimate with Isla!

Since she was alone, it was meaningless to have a cake. 'Forget it. There's no need for so much trouble.'

Julian looked at Susan from the corner of his eye and noticed her glum mood. He could not help smiling faintly. Once she got home tonight, he would give her a surprise.

When they reached the office, they started and ended work as usual.

All the information that Susan filled out was according to her identification card, but the date of birth on it was wrong, hence nobody knew her birthday.

As usual, she bade farewell to her colleagues.

After Susan left, she came to the bus stop and an unexplained dismal feeling flooded her heart.

Julian had texted her earlier to tell her to go home on her own as he had something to do.

Home?

However, where was home?

She did not feel like going home and walked on the street aimlessly. There was nowhere to go and nothing to do.

She only wanted to keep walking, so she kept walking in a daze.

All she knew was that she had been walking from day

till night.

A sprinkle of water brought her back to her senses.

Susan looked up and looked at the enormous fountain in front of her.

"Susan Shelby?” A surprised voice came from behind.
