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

Chapter 531 Negotiation

After a long while, George Wright rubbed his aching temples. "Forget it, leave this matter for Julian to decide on his own."

Julian Shaw had always been a man who knew his own mind. Since he had already made the decision, then he must have come up with a comprehensive plan for sure.

Moreover, a matter related to love and relationship had always been the most complicated so it was better for the others not to meddle with it.

Inside the car, Willa Doyle looked at Julian tenderly.

"Julian, where are you taking me?"

Julian shot a cold glance at her and then gave the driver an address.

Willa was not bothered by Julian's coldness as well. On the contrary, she cracked into a faint smile and appeared to be in a very good mood.

Julian had just been forced to part with Susan Shelby earlier so he would surely not be in a good mood regardless.

However, it was fine. She had the patience to take things slow with Julian.

The car drove straight to a villa.

The villa was located in a slightly remote area. Other than a few permanent housekeepers cleaning up the place, there was no sign that the villa had been lived in.

"Are you planning to park here?" Willa checked out the environment and could not help raising an eyebrow. "I still prefer the villa at Skysea Lake more."

The villa at Skysea Lake was precisely the one where Julian and Susan resided mostly.

Julian disregarded her and took a seat on the sofa calmly.

Willa wanted to take a seat next to him but Julian had already pointed in the opposite direction. "Sit. I think between us, there's something we need to discuss first."

Willa weighed the pros and cons for a moment as she looked at Julian's stern expression. Then, she took a seat next to Julian cautiously.

"What would you like to talk about?" Willa looked at Julian with a gentle gaze. "As long as you're with me always, I'm willing to compromise in anything.”

A disdainful gaze that could not be concealed flashed past Julian's eyes. Then, he said coldly, "You said before that you'd help eradicate the virus in Susie's body."

Willa laughed. "That’s easy. The Errol Virus spread by Mr. Clark was actually just a simplified version. It’s not considered a difficult task to eradicate the virus inside the Dark Night Agency. Every core personnel of the Dark Night Agency including Chad Zachary is skilled in eradicating the virus. Moreover, I already passed on the medication to you to earn your trust previously. It's only a matter of time before your people can develop the specific dosage so there’s no need for me to continue making things difficult for Susan on this issue.”

"Alright." Julian took out a chart containing all the information on Susan’s health status right away and said, "Tell me the way to administer the medication." A set of pen and paper was placed on the table too.

Willa took a glance at the report then picked up the pen and paper to write down something swiftly before passing it to Julian.

Julian received the item then passed it to the servant standing next to him. "Take this and pass it to Alfred at the door. I believe he knows where to deliver the item.”

"Yes, sir." The servant went on to carry out the task.

"Julian, there won't be anything wrong with the Errol Virus issue anymore. I’ve already fulfilled my promise so should we talk about the issue between us properly now?" said Willa eagerly.

"We will need time to verify if the Errol Virus can be fully eradicated. It’s a little too early for you to make your statement now." Julian said expressionlessly, "However, you should know that if anything happens to Susan, you will certainly..."

"I will certainly be buried with the dead? I understand." Willa acknowledged it right away. "I said before that I don't want anything to happen to her more than anybody else."

Julian sized up Willa calmly.

Basically, he believed that Willa would not have the courage to threaten Susan's life.

Or else, she would be seeking doom.

"Julian." Willa looked at Julian with an incomparably gentle gaze. "Don't worry. As long as you stay with me always, Susan will be consuming one bottle of wonder drug every month consistently. She will live to a ripe old age."

Upon mentioning Susan, a faint taunting feeling surged into Willa’s chest.

Yes, Susan would live to a ripe old age!

She'd certainly be able to live a long life and witness Julian and Willa live happily ever after with her own eyes.

This was the biggest punishment for a woman like her.

"I trust you for the time being," said Julian coldly.

"I've been telling the truth since the start," said Willa softly. Then, she suddenly said," Julian, since the matter with Susan has already been solved, when are you planning to divorce Susan to marry me?"

Willa looked at Julian with an eager glint in her eyes.

"Marry you?" Julian looked at her with a spurious smile.

"Why?" Willa stared at him with a gentle gaze. "Do you think that there is insufficient time to prepare for the wedding? It's fine, I don’t mind this at all. As long as you're the groom, I don’t need any grand scenes and I'll still be very happy." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Julian suddenly scoffed coldly. "So, since when did I promise to marry you?"

Willa was stunned for a moment. She said with narrowed eyes, "Julian, one week passes by very quickly. After this week, there’s still the following week."

"Yes, one week passes by very quickly. So, I've abided by the condition you proposed, haven't I?" Julian looked at Willa. "Am I not with you at this exact moment? Did you mention that I must marry you?"

"Uh...” Willa was stunned at once.

"Since you’ve already proposed the terms, then it's best for both of us to abide by the condition, right? If you add in some baffling condition by yourself, I'd feel like you're not being sincere at all," said Julian.

Willa clenched her teeth and grasped her pants with her hands tightly.

She did not discuss the conditions in detail yet she did not expect that Julian would actually seize the loophole and refuse to marry her.

Frankly, she could use Susan's life to threaten Julian into compromising, yet her final goal was to make Julian fall in love with her.

It seemed that the act of provoking Julian endlessly like this was not a good way.

More importantly, even if Julian refused to marry her, how could an egotistical woman like Susan stand the fact that they were together now? The ending would still develop in the direction that she planned sooner or later.

Upon coming up with a decision in her heart, Willa's hands relaxed slowly while the corners of her lips cracked into a faint smile. "Alright, it's fine for you not to get a divorce with Susan and it's okay for you not to marry me too. However, don't you forget that my condition is for you to be with me. I think our relationship should be somewhat similar to boyfriend and girlfriend at the very least. Moreover, you must make Susan acknowledge it. Otherwise, what’s the point of me proposing the condition?"

Julian narrowed his eyes, then he spoke in

a deep voice, "Sure."

He and Willa were constantly contending and negotiating. Julian was well aware that he would be able to talk her out of getting married, but it was impossible for Willa to compromise endlessly. Willa's goal was to split up him and Susie so there were certain matters that she could not compromise too much on.
