Chapter 29 Confrontation
Subconsciously, Susan pushed Luke away. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
When he suddenly felt the warmth in his arms disappear, Luke frowned and suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"Mrs. Shaw." Julian Shaw narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "You should remember your identity as a married woman. Are you so desperate to the point that you are openly hugging men other than your husband?"
Julian's face was stony. His eyes did not hold any anger but there was a dangerous darkness like the sea. His expression frightened Susan.
"Julian, this is all a misunderstanding. I..." Susan wanted to explain herself.
Luke said coldly, "Chairman Shaw, Susan is your wife. Shouldn’t you be talking to her more politely?"
“Susan?" Julian suddenly revealed a mysterious smile. "Such an endearing way of addressing my wife.
Master Jenkins, don't forget that you're about to get married!"
Luke clenched his fists. "I won't get married until I find out the truth."
"Is that so?" Julian raised his eyebrows. "The news about the marriage between the Jenkins and the
Ainsleys has long been known throughout the city. If you cancel the wedding, you'll have to ask both families whether they are agreeable to it or not."
"This doesn't concern you, Chairman Shaw." Luke gritted his teeth.
"Even if you begged me to poke my nose into your business, I wouldn't do it." Julian narrowed his eyes and looked at Susan coldly. "What are you doing still standing there? Still wanting to ruin the Shaw reputation?"
"I..." Susan pursed her lips and walked over to Julian nervously.
"Susan." Luke grabbed her hand. "Trust me. I will retrieve the memories that belong to us."
Complicated thoughts ran across Susan's mind. She knew that Luke really wanted to remember their past, but what was the use of that?
Everything that was fated to happen had already happened. It was not like the past could be erased.
"Let me go..." Susan lowered her head and said softly.
"I..." Luke wanted to say something, but Julian already had an iron grip on his arm.
Julian said coldly, "Master Jenkins, are you sure you want to be entangled like this with my wife in front of me?"
Under his suppressive gaze, Luke let go subconsciously.
"Let’s go.” Julian took Susan's hand and turned away expressionlessly. He took long, quick strides and she struggled to keep up with him, but he ignored her and just pulled her along.
Luke's heart trembled and he could not help saying out loud, "Julian, although Susan is your wife, if you don't treat her well, someone else will."
Julian suddenly stopped walking. He turned his head and looked at Luke coldly.
Luke straightened his back and stared back at him without hesitation.
Suddenly, Julian's lips curved into a cold smile and he pulled Susan closer to him. Then, with his eyes on Luke, he lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation.
His hot breath surrounded her passionately with a fierce gesture.
Susan's eyes widened and she glanced at Luke who went pale for a moment.
Noticing Susan’s glance, Julian's eyes dimmed and he forced her to look at him, only him, and then he plundered her lips mercilessly.
Susan looked up, feeling a bit suffocated.
Did Julian prefer not to touch her? What was this now? Was he showing absolute power over her in front of another man?
Yes, even if he did not want her, she was still Mrs. Shaw. No other man could covet Mrs. Shaw.
Susan suddenly felt sad. After all, to Julian, Mrs. Shaw was merely a title that had to be defended. She closed her eyes and let Julian's lips wreak havoc upon her.
Luke watched them with his fists clenched. He wanted to rush up to them and hit Julian's face and bravely rescue Susan. However, he could not!
He simply had no right to.
She was his wife, his legally married wife.
After some time, Julian moved his lips away expressionlessly and looked at Luke. "Susan is my woman. She is my woman now and will be so too in the future. As for you, Master Jenkins, Susan and I will attend your wedding on time."
After that, Julian got Susan to enter the car.
The black luxury car vanished like a flash of lightning into the night.
Luke just looked in the direction that the car disappeared in and stood in the same spot for a very, very long time.
He did not know what he should do! He clearly knew that he and Susan shared a complicated past, but he could not remember anything. He must have lost his memory in the car accident.
However, after the accident, Mandy had taken care of him for so long and he had personally agreed to marry her.
Now, the preparations for the wedding were almost complete and every day, Mandy was looking forward t o getting married.
Should he give his fiancee up for this vague memory? Should he forsake the marriage between the two big families?
Furthermore, even if he let go of all that forever, Susan had moved on as well. She was now married to Julian Shaw of the Shaw family. Perhaps he should just give up on trying to recollect these memories and be comfortable as a soon-to-be groom. However, he could not bring himself to do so.
Luke rubbed his chest. His heart told him that if he let go of Susan, he would live the rest of his life full of regrets.
"Susan..." he murmured, his eyes becoming firmer. He could not just get married in such confusion. He had t o find out everything as soon as he could.
The car sped along at a high speed.
Julian Shaw's face was gloomy and he stared ahead with a blank expression. The car was obviously heated, but facing his cold expression, Susan felt chilly.
After a while, she summed up her courage and said softly, "Julian, Luke..."
"Shut up,” Julian said in a cold voice. "I don't want to hear about the two of you going behind my back.”
Susan could not help looking anxious. "We didn't hook up or go behind your back. We...we met by accident."
"Oh?" Julian raised his eyebrows. "In the big city of Ningcheng, both of you just bumped into each other like that. Do you want to say that both our souls have some kind of fate or destiny? Or do you take me as a fool?"
His voice contained no trace of anger, but Susan felt more and more frightened. She whispered, "This...this was really just an accident. I just wanted to take a stroll. I didn't expect to meet him. If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have gone to the square."
"Enough." Julian's expression was cold. "I don't want you to continue telling me how you met your old flame and hugged him tenderly."
Facing his tough attitude, Susan's lips trembled and she could not say another word.
