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

Chapter 570 The Last Two People That I Want To See

"Dad?" Lara turned around, and her face was washed pale with fear.

'Oh my gosh, does dad hear everything 1 say?’

Brook looked exasperatedly at Lara as disappointment filled his face.

He had no idea that his well-behaved and lovely daughter had a boyfriend behind his back. What’s more, she was pregnant before she got married!

However, in a hindsight, Lara had always been an obedient girl. It was impossible for her to commit such a deed, so this could only mean one thing: she was done brown.

Brook’s eyes turned sharp when he looked at Seth.

Even though Seth had seen much of the world, he was still transfixed by Brook's penetrating gaze. He figured that he should put aside the feud between him with Lara first and hastily explained, "This is just a misunderstanding. It’s not what it looks like.”

"What a douchebag. I've heard everything and now you are telling me that it is just a misunderstanding?" Brook snarled, leaving both Lara and Seth speechless.

"Both of you, follow me," Brook instructed angrily.

Lara and Seth knew it was not the right place to elucidate the situation in the living hall. Therefore, they did not say anything and just followed behind Brook obediently.

Brook threw daggers at both of them again. Then, he put on a smile and said to the guests, "I have some problems I have to attend to right now, so I'll have to excuse myself for a while. Please enjoy the food and please have fun."

All of the guests nodded in understanding.

The atmosphere in the hall was still as lively as it used to be even though Brook had led both Lara and Seth away.

Most of them were gossiping about the breaking news that Seth had knocked up Lara, while those who stood further away and could not hear clearly were asking around. The news was then passed from one mouth to the next. A complete story about how Seth sweet-talked Lara into having a relationship with him emerged, and how deeply she was in love with him was soon formed.

People always said that gossip was a fearful thing. Lara had just said a few sentences, and all of them just supplemented their own opinions to form a riveting love story.

"Mommy, Uncle Quinton looks like he's going to tear Uncle Leeds to pieces. Do you think we can still see Uncle Leeds again?” Chesney said sympathetically. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Don't worry. A cockroach is tenacious," Susan could not help but chuckle.

Susan reckoned that the incident today would create bad blood between Seth and Lara. However, considering that it was just a misunderstanding, she figured that there would not be any trouble so long as they explained it well.

Initially, the hall was filled with echoing voices of people discussing the tea about Seth and Lara. Then, all of a sudden, their voices fell and Susan could sense that many people were looking at her.

'What is going on?’

As the question rose in Susan's heart, she turned her head around and her eyes shrunk.

At the door of the hall stood two people that she did not want to see at this moment.

'Julian! Willa! Why are they here?'

Julian soon noticed Susan and their gazes met.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Truth be told, there had been plenty of versions about the story between Julian and Susan in recent years. It was just that one of them drew a veil over the matter, while the other had moved away from Skyking City. As such, all of them did not have the chance to gossip about them.

Right now, the two of them had finally met up. What's worse, even though Julian and Susan were still husband and wife, they did not show up together and both of them had their own plus one.

Everyone felt they could write a two-million -word count story with these four people.

Julian and Susan looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

A trace of nervousness flitted across Willa’s eyes as she spoke up first, shattering the silence, "Susie... I-I’m sorry. I didn't know you'd be here. If I’d known it earlier, I would've asked Julian to come with you"

She looked like she was mounting the white feather on the surface, but actually, she was showing off.

Susan let out a scornful laugh inwardly. She was not in the mood of fighting back now, as her first reaction was to look at Chesney.

If she knew they'd bump into Julian and Willa, she would not have brought Chesney here today.

‘Can Chessie accept the fact that her father is with someone else?’ Susan thought worriedly.

However, Chesney could not understand the implication of Julian showing up together with Willa. She just looked at them with widened eyes as confusion was written all over her face.

Just when Susan was lost at sea, a warm voice rang out, "I'm sorry, Susie. I'm the one who asked you to be my plus one, yet I left you hanging alone here.”

Julius had a tall and upright stature, and his handsome face had regular, delicate features. When he stood beside Susan, both of them seemed like they could make a good couple.

Julian squinted his eyes.

Willa was stunned for a moment when she saw Julius.

'Who is this guy?'

However, she soon snapped herself back to reality and she was awashed with joy. She had been wondering how she should do to make Julian loath Susan, and now Susan presented her a chance.

Julian was a proud man. Willa was confident that he would give up on Susan if she really hooked up with another man.

If she fueled the fire...

Willa felt she could see the dawn of victory!

'This time, both Julian’s heart and body will be mine!’

Susan was clueless about Willa's thoughts. Julius’s appearance had given her an out. She then replied, "It’s okay.”

"The snacks over there are pretty good. I supposed you and the kids would like them very much. Let's go over there and try them out," Julius said gently.

Susan nodded, as she wanted to bring both of the kids away.

With both Chesney and Lucas here, she did not want to quarrel with those two people.

"Mommy...” Chesney tugged at Susan’s hand, and she did not move. "It’s Daddy. Daddy is here. Are we not going to talk to Daddy?"

It had been a long time since Chesney had last seen Julian. This was because everyone told her that her Mommy would be very sad if they mentioned her Daddy. Therefore, she had been refraining from talking about Julian.

However, he was her Daddy, and her eyes were filled with anticipation and exhilaration when she saw him.

Julian's gaze softened as he looked at his own princess.

He bent down and stretched his arms forward. "Chessie?"

"Daddy!" Chesney's eyes lit up. She shrugged Susan off and threw herself into Julian's arms.

Even though Susan’s heart was filled with a myriad of emotions, she did not stop her.

Chesney rubbed her face against Julian's affectionately.

"Chessie? You still remember me?" Wills said to Chesney warmly.

Chesney frowned. She had no idea why, but she disliked Willa. She wrapped her arms around Julian's neck and said straightly," Why do you come here with her, Daddy? I don't like her. You must stay away from her."

Willa's expression changed. However, she soon recollected herself and a hurtful expression hopped into her eyes. "Chessie, Aunty has never scolded or treated you badly before. Is it because

someone said something to you?"

As Willa said those words, she shot a glance at Susan.

Rolling her eyes, Chesney continued, "No one tells me anything. I just don't like ugly people, and you’re ugly. You are a thousand times uglier than my mommy."

Chesney’s words hit Willa like thunder and her face contorted.

This was the first time somebody called her ugly in front of her face.
