Chapter 536 She Won’t Buy It
Chapter 536 She Won’t Buy It
Susan Shelby felt uneasy in her heart yet her hand was still scrolling the phone swiftly.
The first photo was of the two people walking together while the next photo showed both of them entering a villa together surprisingly.
Yet, Susan still had some impression of this villa. It was the property that belonged to the Shaws!
Susan took a glance at the date swiftly.
The date showed that these two people were together within the past few days!
So, when she was sick, Julian Shaw did not visit her because he was with Willa Doyle?
No, it could not be possible. There had to be some misunderstanding. ‘Susan, you must trust the relationship between you and Julian.'
Susan trembled and continued to scroll on the phone.
A look of unwillingness flashed past Luna's eyes as she looked at Susan's behavior from the side. However, there was nothing she could do!
She could not bring herself to let Susan know about the truth. In fact, she had to work with Julian to complete the lie. She was well aware that this would hurt Susan badly.
Yet, what else could be more important than life?
She hid Julian's sacrifice so Susan would misunderstand Julian. This way, Susan would grieve for a while yet in face of betrayal, she would put in the effort to be strong due to her headstrong temperament.
If she were to find out the truth, there was no telling what she would do in order to not make things difficult for Julian.
As a result, she hid the truth from Susan and made Susan loathe Julian. It was the best ending possible.
Luna was well aware of this in her heart. Yet at that exact moment, she still had to exhaust all her strength just to suppress the urge to speak the truth as she looked at Susan trembling in rage.
Susan continued to scroll the photos one by one.
In the beginning, she did it at a slow speed. Soon afterward, she scrolled faster and faster while her expression grew calmer and calmer.
At last, she screened through all the photos in silence.
"Susie..." Luna clenched her teeth and said," The matter is just as you've seen. A few days ago, we discovered that Julian and Willa had been spending a lot of time together. They had even moved into a villa together now and are spending days and nights together. W-We didn't want to tell you the truth in fear of you being overly sad."
Susan raised her head. Her gaze turned calmer now. She said in a deep voice, "I don’t buy it."
"Hmm?" Luna was stunned for a moment.
Susan pointed at a photo. "If Julian has to be close to Willa, then he must have his reason to get close to her. I believe that he won't betray our relationship firmly."
Susan's tone was resolute.
Luna could not help being dumbstruck for a moment, but soon, she said in a rushed tone, "Susie, the truth is already there.
What else is there for you not to believe! It's the truth that Julian and Willa were constantly together and it's also the truth that they left you behind when you were sick and disregarded you!"
"I don’t buy it." Susan said stubbornly, "I want to ask Julian in person."
Yes, she refused to believe those photos. Those were just a few photos. Perhaps, Julian was getting close to Willa because he had his plans! Was there ever a lack of misunderstanding between them due to a lack of trust?
This time, unless Julian told him with his own words that he did not love her anymore and he was in love with someone else, she wouldn't believe it.
"How are you going to ask him?” asked Luna.
Susan clenched her teeth and called Julian right away.
In the quiet night, the dial tone sounded especially clear.
Julian pursed his thin lips ever so slightly as he looked at the flashing phone screen.
It had been three days. Susie had finally discovered that something was off.
His hand was placed on the phone but it did not budge for a long time.
The act of picking up the call signified that he was going to hurt Susie personally, a woman whom he was willing to protect with his life.
Even a man as firm and resolute as Julian had the intention of cowering at this very moment.
Even though he knew this day would come sooner or later, why did it not come later?
"Susie," muttered Julian softly as he let the ringtone echo through the room. Endless sorrow, agony, and pain were hidden behind the simple word.
Julian did not pick up her calls.
Susan clenched her teeth and refused to give up but she continued to call again and again.
"Susie, stop calling. This man is utterly incapable of facing you now.” Luna could not help grabbing Susan's hand. "He won't pick up the call.” "I don't buy it. I will clarify with him for
sure." Susan wanted to call again stubbornly.
"Susie!" Luna held her hand tightly.
Susan raised her head to look at Luna with an expression that was slightly unusual. " Alright, I won't call anymore. Mom, please leave me alone so I can calm myself."
"Yet..." Luna looked at the phone in Susan's hand.
"Just take away all the communication devices in the room." Susan looked at Luna pleadingly. "Mom, I just want to be alone now."
Luna looked at Susan. She wanted to say something more yet she could not bring herself to say it anyhow.
She packed up all the devices in silence and then said in a gentle voice, "Susie, don't think too much. A man like this is not
worthy of your love. Rest early."
"Alright," acknowledged Susan.
Even though Luna was still worried, she did not have the courage to agitate Susan too much so she could only walk out of the room.
The room was all quiet as soon as Luna left.
Susan sat on the bed quietly. Yet, the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile slowly.
"Julian, why do you always have to hide everything from me? However, I won’t be swayed by what’s on the surface anymore this time. Unless you tell me in your own words that you don’t love me anymore, I won’t believe anything," muttered Susan to herself.
Her eyes stared straight ahead toward the ceiling all this time.
On the other hand, in another location, Julian stood in front of the window akin to a statue.
Susan laid on the bed until the sky started turning a little brighter.
"The sun is out." The corners of Susan's lips cracked into a faint smile.
She got up and dressed herself calmly, then she headed downstairs right away
It was only dawn and the Wrights’ home was all quiet.
Susan went downstairs and headed straight outside right away. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The security guard dared not stop her but he informed the Wrights at once.
Luna ordered in a slightly anxious tone,' I'm coming down with George at once, figure out a way to stop the driver from coming over immediately!"
Upon saying that, she got up in a rush and went downstairs.
Susan called for the driver in advance.
However, not a silhouette could be seen after she waited at the door for a while.
She could not help pursing her lips. It seemed that the only way now was to hail a cab—her only concern was that it was not easy to get a cab now.
Even though she was thinking in this manner, Susan still stepped forward without the slightest hesitation.
She was about to walk away when a car stopped in front of her all of a sudden. The window was rolled down to reveal a drowsy face. “Susie, it's so early, where are you going?”
“You’re back, Serenity?" Susan was slightly
astonished.
"That's right. The concert came to a successful close so I rushed back home on the same night." Serenity Wright said smilingly, "Where are you going? Would you like me to give you a lift?"
"No need, you've just traveled far to come home..."
"It's fine. I’ve been lying on the back seat sleeping all this time. The driver drove earlier.”
Serenity got down from the car and instructed the driver to go back and rest. Then, she stretched her body and looked at Susan in high spirits. "Tell me, where are you going? I'll give you a lift."
Susan pursed her lips and got into the car. Then, she gave her an address.
The address was the legendary place where Julian and Willa moved in together.
Susan figured that since Julian refused to pick up the phone, she would meet him in person to clarify the situation.
