At the Shaw’s residence, the bungalow lights were brightly lit.When Susan walked in, she was stunned to see that the living hall was obviously decorated beautifully. The coffee table and the window sills were decorated with fresh flowers.There was an intricate cake in the middle of the dining table. It looked like a birthday celebration for someone.A birthday celebration?Susan’s heart trembled.She could not help looking at Julian. “Julian...this birthday cake…”At that moment, she felt her heart beating rapidly.Julian actually knew that today was her birthday and had even prepared for her birthday earlier.That was why he left earlier in the afternoon. It was not for a client but it was to plan for her birthday!Susan felt a surge of unspeakable hope in her heart.“Oh, you mean this cake.” Julian glanced at Susan and raised his eyebrows. “I prepared this for Isla.”The hope in Susan’s eyes fizzled out instantly. Her face contained a flush of embarrassment. “Huh?”“I don’t think y

As Susan ignored Isla, she tried her best to stand up.The feeling of being ignored angered Isla even more. Just as Susan was about to stand up, a cold curve appeared in the corner of Isla’s lip. Suddenly, she kicked Susan’s calves aggressively, sending her sprawling on the floor again.Isla took pleasure in seeing her suffer and said, “Mrs. Shaw, look at you now. Do you know that you’re like a dead dog now!? Who do you think you are to hold onto this position beside Julian? You know very well that Julian dislikes you and he doesn’t even touch you. If you have the slightest dignity, you should take the initiative to leave and not leech on him. Do you understand?”Susan’s head was lowered and her face was pale. A long while later, she said softly, “Are these...your words...or Julian’s?”Isla raised her eyebrows. “Of course, they are Julian’s. He told me he has exhausted all means of chasing you away, but you are so shameless and continue to stay.”“R-really?” Susan asked as her lips fo

Susan just had some porridge when she received a call. She answered the call nervously, “Mom!”“Do I still exist in your eyes?” Madam Shaw’s tone was harsh.Susan asked cautiously, “Mom, what did I do wrong?”“I don’t want to talk about it on the phone. Come and see me at once. I’ll wait for you at home!” Madam Shaw instructed, then she hung up.Susan bit her lower lip as she listened to the beep from the other side.‘This must be connected to Isla, but Julian told her to leave and I have no idea about that. Forget it, I’ll go and see Madam Shaw first. She will be angry if I’m late.’“Mama Jean, I’m going out.” Susan took her bag and left hurriedly.After she left, Mama Jean blinked and made a phone call since Julian had told her to call him if anything happened to Susan.“Young Master, Missus received a call and went out. It should have been Madam Shaw on the other end as she addressed that person as ‘Mom’.”Mama Jean then started to spring clean the house after notifying Julian.Now,

Mama Jean looked a little dumbfounded. “Missus, so many medicinal herbs? Is everything for Young Master?”“Madam is concerned about Young Master’s health, so we can’t let her efforts go to waste,” Susan said sternly, “Mama Jean, just take out a few of the herbs and cook them whatever way you want. Oh yes, put the bottle of tiger bone liquor on the table.”“Sure.” Mama Jean turned around and started working.Susan blinked and suddenly smiled. ‘Julian is saving himself for that person he likes. It’s such a shame that Madam Shaw doesn’t know. In the future, there will be endless supplies of different medicinal herbs. I wonder if Julian can stomach all of them.’At dinner, Susan had never felt like she did that day previously. She was looking forward to Julian’s return. Once he reached home, he saw his wife looking at him with anticipation and could not help being stunned.‘What happened? Has this woman suddenly realized my good traits?’Suppressing the happiness that was growing in his h

The next day, Mama Jean woke up early to make breakfast. When she walked across the bedroom door, she heard an awkward conversation.“It’s not going to be painful. I’ll be gentle.”“Just relax.”“Don’t move. Turning back will affect my performance.”Mama Jean coughed and left quietly.‘The CEO’s wife looks usually elegant. I never thought she could be quite open sometimes...Ahem.’“Okay, done.”In the room, Susan looked at her masterpiece and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.Julian looked at the drawn tortoise on the back of his hand and then immediately turned to look for a glove. “Hey, hey, hey! We agreed that you can’t hide it for a day. If you wear a glove, you’re a sore loser.” Susan quickly stopped him.“You…” He glared at her angrily.Julian’s glance made Susan’s smile fade and she said carefully, “Wear it if you want to. I-I was just saying...”She could not help feeling annoyed. She somehow disregarded the level of authority. ‘Is Julian someone who I can joke with? Sus
