Chapter 562 I’m Pregnant, Susan
Chapter 562 I’m Pregnant, Susan
Susan did not want to utter a word to Madam Shaw. Holding Chesney and Lucas's hands, she attempted to leave.
Madam Shaw did not expect Susan to be so cold and harsh to her.
She was stunned for a while, and it was only when the three of them were getting in the car that she snapped back into reality. She hastily went forward and tried to stop Susan from leaving.
However, before she could even get near Susan, a few bodyguards emerged and held Madam Shaw still.
"Let go of me! I'm Susan’s mother-in-law!" Madam Shaw said exasperatingly.
The group of bodyguards turned and looked at Susan as they waited for her instructions.
Susan shot an indifferent glance at Madam Shaw and said, "Release her only after we’re gone."
"Yes, madam," the bodyguards answered.
Madam Shaw was genuinely taken aback by Susan's harsh attitude. It was difficult for her to believe that Susan's attitude towards her had changed so much. "Susan, I have an important matter to discuss and I must speak to you today. Please, you have to listen to it. It's very important.”
However, Susan paid her no mind, much to her chagrin. After getting both of the kids into the car, Susan then hopped into the car as well.
Madam Shaw was flustered.
It was Willa who wanted to see Susan. She was pregnant, and for the sake of her grandson, Madam Shaw had to get the job done. As such, she gnashed her teeth and said in a sad tone,
"Susan! My health is deteriorating day by day after I was poisoned, and my days are numbered. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, but could you please give me a chance? I just want to have a good talk with you. Please, Susan, I don't have much time.”
Susan stopped her movements. She turned her head around to look at Madam Shaw, her jaw tightly set.
They had not seen each other for several years, and Madam Shaw had aged a lot compared to last time.
The harsh lines on her face had softened considerably, and she looked frail, fragile even.
An indescribable emotion rose from
Susan’s heart.
"Just this once." Madam pressed on after she saw Susan began to waver. "We gotta find a time to patch things up between us eventually, don’t you think so?"
Susan pressed her lips into a fine thin line. She turned around and spoke to the two kids, "Chessie, Luca, you guys go home first."
"Mommy.” Chessie held Susan's hand anxiously as she watched Madam Shaw vigilantly. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
With a smile playing on her lips, Susan ruffled Chesney's hair and assured her," Everything will be fine."
After that, she entrusted the kids to the driver and closed the door.
The driver took the two kids away, and Susan was much calmer facing Madam
Shaw.
"What is the thing you want to talk to me about? Susan asked flatly.
The reason she agreed to have a talk with Madam Shaw was not that she pitied her. It was because she knew Madam Shaw very well. She was tenacious and she would keep coming for her if she refused to talk to her today. She couldn't just switch Chesney and Lucas to another kindergarten just to avoid Madam Shaw.
Besides, Susan reckoned that there was nothing Madam Shaw could do anything to her. If worse came to worst, the bodyguards would step out and protect her, so she had the upper hand.
Seeing that Susan finally agreed. Madam Shaw's face lit up. She then said, "Let’s find a quiet place and talk."
Susan nodded in assent.
Madam Shaw was well-prepared. She led Susan straight to a coffee shop nearby.
"Susie." At the corner of the coffee shop, Willa shot up with surprise written all over her face.
Susan was stunned for a while when she heard the voice. Then, she turned her head slowly and saw Willa.
Willa’s had changed a little compared to the last time she saw her. She used to put on elaborate make-up, but she did not wear any cosmetics today.
Willa!
The sight of this woman evoked that dormant pain that remained for so long in Susan’s heart.
One voice in Susan's head urged her to turn
around and leave right away, but the other voice said otherwise.
In the end, the second voice emerged victoriously and Susan stayed. She had been escaping for two years, and she had promised herself that she would not run away anymore.
Even though she could turn a blind eye towards Willa and Julian's information, it was inevitable that she would bump into them.
Now that she had met her here, she would face it with calm.
"It's been such a long time, Miss Doyle,” greeted Susan as she flashed a genial smile at Willa. Then, she threw a glance at Madam Shaw and said, "It seems to me that you two are getting along really well. Madam, she’s the reason you called me here, right?”
Susan's tone was calm, and Madam Shaw had no idea why she felt a little guilty.
She calmed herself down and said, "Susie, Willa just wants to have a few words with you."
"Miss?" The bodyguard looked warily at Willa.
Susan waved her hands and said simply," Since I'm here, I’d like to listen to what she wants to say to me. You can wait for me outside."
"Yes,” the bodyguard answered. He retracted to the side of the door and watched the corner intently.
Madam Shaw did not join them either, as Willa wanted to talk to Susan alone. She sat at another place and stared in their direction as well.
Susan walked calmly over, and then sat opposite of Willa. "It took you so much effort to get me here, so what is the thing you want to talk to me about? My time is precious, so I'll only give you..."
Susan took a look at her watch. "Ten minutes."
A bitter smile crept onto the corner of Mila's lips. "Do you still blame me, Susie? This is all Julian and my fault. We tried our best to keep our feelings under control, but feelings aren’t something that can be contained that easily.."
This was the first time Susan had heard of the man's name after two years.
Her eyes turned cold as she said expressionlessly, "Wow, so are you trying to say that you two are deeply in love with each other?”
"Please forgive me, Susie..." Willa said apologetically.
However, Susan did not buy it. She let out a sneer and said, "If he really loves you that much, then why won't he file a divorce with me? Tsk, tsk, tsk, no matter how much you love each other, as long as I'm Mrs. Shaw, you will only be a poor homewrecker.”
Willa froze.
This was something that she did not expect. Not only did Susan not get provoked, but she was also calm enough to sneer at her.
Willa bit her lower lips as a hurt expression appeared on her face. "You still won't forgive me, Susie.”
Annoyed, Susan hissed, "Forgive you? Who do you think you are? Why do you think I should think about you all the time? If you just want to show off the relationship between you and Julian, I suggest you drop the thought."
Susan took a look at her watch and said plainly, "Even though it hasn't been ten minutes yet, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Goodbye."
She rose to her feet and attempted to leave.
Seeing that Susan was leaving, Willa squinted her eyes and shouted, "I’m pregnant, Susan!"
