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

Chapter 30 A Birthday Celebration For Isla Brown?

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 you know that today is Isla's birthday. I prepared the cake to celebrate with her." Julian looked down at Susan.

Everything had actually been prepared to surprise Susan. However, it was obvious that she did not care!

While he was preparing all these wholeheartedly, she was being affectionate with her old flame. Everything he did for her felt like a joke.

After he decorated everything, he waited for her to come home since office hours had ended.

He waited for an hour, then for another two hours.

Until the sky got dark, Susan was still nowhere to be seen. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He panicked and thought that something had happened to her. He called the office, the nursing home, and searched everywhere that she might have gone to.

However, she was nowhere to be found.

He had been worried sick and drove around to look for her. Then, he went to City Square because he knew that was where Susan and Luke had made their vows.

After that, he had seen that scene.

A couple hugging in front of the enormous fountain.

What a beautiful scene.

It was so beautiful that he wanted to destroy everything.

'Susan Shelby! It's been more than a year and your heart only has space for this man. What about me? What am I? Am I just a tool to save your brother?

'Haha, of course. If it wasn't for Jacob, based on Susan's ego, why would she demean herself like this i n the Shaw family?! Julian Shaw, everything that you do was useless from the beginning. You are a joke, a big fat joke.’

At that moment, if Susan had known that he prepared everything to celebrate her birthday, would her pride not have gone to her head?

Even if he had to die, he did not wish to see her smug pride!

Susan instantly turned pale at Julian's words. "Today i s.Isla's birthday?”

Julian looked at Isla and an evil curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. “My dear, why are you standing there like that? Aren't you happy that I'm celebrating your birthday with you?"

Isla was stunned. She wanted to tell him her birthday was still half a year away!

"Hmm?" Julian looked at her with a dangerous flash i n his eyes.

Isla immediately reacted and fell into his arms with a n affectionate smile. "My dear, I'm really happy that you remembered my birthday." "It’s good that you're happy. Here's your present."

Julian embraced her waist and took out a small box.

"Thank you, my dear.” Isla opened it and her eyes lit u P-

Inside the box was a gorgeous crystal necklace that looked very expensive.

Julian looked at the necklace with a profound gaze! It was actually a gift for Susan that he had been looking for for very long.

"My dear, can you put it on for me?" Isla looked at him affectionately.

Julian took the necklace and squinted. He was inexplicably dissatisfied that Isla had the necklace in her hands. However, he still smiled. "Sure."

With a loving gesture, he helped Isla wear the necklace.

"You're so amazing." She smiled sweetly.

Both of them were exchanging affectionate gazes while Susan stood beside them like a sad wooden statue.

Looking at Isla’s smile, the corner of Susan’s mouth revealed a bitter smile.

Today was Isla Brown's birthday. He had only known Isla for a few days and had already remembered her birthday. Besides that, he even prepared a birthday cake and a birthday present for her.

As for herself, his wedded wife for more than a year, she did not even get such treatment. Bitterness filled her heart.

When she had walked through the door earlier, she thought that Julian wanted to celebrate her birthday. She had overthought.

She guessed that Julian and Isla were laughing at her unrequited self-affection.

Suddenly, Susan felt that the lights in the living hall were too piercing, so she started to walk away.

Although Julian was obviously being affectionate with Isla, he instantly noticed Susan’s movement.

"Where are you going?" he asked coldly.

"I'm a little tired. I’m going to rest in the room," Susan said with her head lowered.

"Today is Isla's birthday. I don't think it's good to just walk away like that. You could at least wish her and have a piece of cake." Julian stared at Susan with a trace of anger in his eyes. 2

'This woman didn't seem tired when she walked from the office to City Square to meet Luke Jenkins. Why is that when she’s home, she becomes tired? Does she really not want to see me?’ 3

"I...I don't feel well," Susan continued to say softly.

"No matter how unwell you are, can't you do such a small thing?" Julian said coldly.

Susan's body trembled, then she said, "I got it."

She walked Isla and whispered, "Ms. Brown, I wish you a happy birthday."

"That’s so soft. Who is going to hear that?" Julian raised his eyebrows.

All Susan could do was draw in a deep breath and say louder, "Ms. Brown, I wish you a happy birthday."

Julian lightly touched Isla’s nose. "My dear, what do you think? Was that loud enough?"

Isla could not tell what Julian meant. It was true that she did not like Susan, but she would not do something stupid in front of Julian. She cautiously took a glance at him and said, "Yeah, it’s loud enough. Thank you for your wish."

Julian raised an eyebrow. "Since you are satisfied, then that’s enough, but today is your birthday. Mrs. Shaw should have a present for you. What do you say, Mrs. Shaw?" 1

Susan pursed her lips and wondered how would she have prepared a present...

However, she could only obey Julian. What could be used as a present right now?

"Please don't give her something cheap," Julian warned with a smile. He was going all out to trouble her.

As Susan gritted her teeth, she suddenly saw something shiny on her finger.

That was the ring that Julian had given her. Since Chance professed his love to her, she had worn the wedding ring to avoid any more trouble. It was probably the most valuable item she had. 2

Since he liked Isla so much, she might as well fulfill their wishes to the end.
