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

Chapter 546 Marriage Proposal

In the evening, Susan went to pick up Chessie and Luca. Then, the three of them held hands and headed home together.

"Mom, my teacher praised my drawing today. She even said I'll be the next Picasso," Chesney said triumphantly.

Before Susan could say anything, Lucas chimed in. "Your teacher said so because she thinks your drawing is impossible to understand."

"Do you know what art is, you brat?" Chesney snarled. Baring her teeth and brandishing her arms in anger, she went up to Lucas in an attempt to rough him up.

Lucas hastily ran away, and the two of them had a chasing game.

"Hey, slow down, you two!" Susan shouted several times, but neither of them listened to her. They were running faster and further away from her. Left with no other option, she could only trot to catch up to them.

Both kids were having a whale of a time, and they soon arrived at their house.

Seeing that they were not going to stop anytime soon, Susan could only shout helplessly, "Don’t get too crazy! We're going to have dinner soon."

The moment Susan finished speaking, Rivera came up to her and said reverently," Miss, we’ve received an important letter."

'An important letter?’

Susan opened the envelope with shining eyes.

Inside the envelope was a wedding invitation.

"My brother and Anna are getting married soon." Susan flipped the invitation open as a hint of joy flashed across her eyes. "It's been two years. I guess it’s about time they tied the knot."

"Are we going to attend the wedding, miss?" The two of them looked expectantly at Susan.

They had both been born in Skyking City and they had left their hometown to protect Susan. If possible, they wanted to go back, even if it was only for a few days.

“Of course we're attending the wedding.” As if Susan could read their minds, she smiled and said, “There is still a week left before the wedding. Let's get ready and go back three days in advance." "Roger." Both Rivera and Bruce were happy to hear that they would be going back.

Looking at the invitation put Susan in a good mood as well. Even though her marriage had not turned out to be good, she wished her brother and Anna could form a happy family together.

Susan figured that she would not be coming back after she returned to Skyking City.

She had not heard the name of that man in two years. The pain and bitterness in her heart, which had been so heavy in the past, had gradually ebbed away.

Susan could not tell whether she had forgotten about the pain or the pain had settled down and become a wound in the deepest part of her heart.

Be that as it may, her home was there and she had to confront that place eventually. Besides, Chesney and Lucas had reached the right age to attend primary school.

She had run away two years ago, so it was about time she confronted her weakness.

She had been unable to make up her mind in the past, but the invitation helped her make a decision.

'It's time to go back. Leave your weakness behind, and confront what you should've faced years ago,’ Susan told herself inwardly.

It had been two years. She had kept in touch with her family, and Luna had come to visit her from time to time. Thus, she had not felt too distant from them.

In these two years, everybody had been trying their best to avoid any topic regarding Julian, and it went without saying that Susan would not bring such a topic up herself either.

Therefore, she had no idea what had become of Julian after two years.

However, since he had been willing to abandon his children for Willa, she reckoned that they should be very much in love right now.

Susan took a deep breath.

Starting from now, she would have to mentally prepare herself for everything.

Her pride would not allow her to show too much unnecessary emotion when she met up with them after two years. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

A myriad of thoughts flitted across Susan's mind. However, since she had decided to go back, she should not hesitate anymore.

She figured that she would not return to Jerucity after going back to Skyking City. Therefore, she decided to sell her house and packed her belongings up.

Susan had been pretty busy in the past few days.

Luca did not express too much feeling when Susan told them that they were moving back to Skyking City. After all, he was fine with anything as long as he could be with Susan. On the other side, the news made Chesney feel overjoyed.

Even though Jerucity was nice, Skyking City was her home. After all, she had been born there and had grown up there.

Nothing was better than home, and she had not seen her father for two years.

Chesney had no idea what had happened between her father and mother, but she reckoned that Susan should have calmed down after such a long time.

When they were back in Skyking City, they could reunite with Julian and live happily ever after.

Chesney was so excited that she could not sleep at night when she thought about their happy life in the future.

The next day, Susan put her house up for sale.

She was selling her house at a lower price than the market price because she was in a hurry to leave.

Many people expressed their interest in buying her house the moment she released the news.

"Did you hear that? Our neighbor is selling her house." Autumn went up to Jay when he came home.

"Yeah, I heard,” Jay said as he loosened his tie. "I heard she is selling it at a pretty low price."

"Not pretty low. It's dirt cheap." Autumn rolled her eyes. “I’m pretty sure the woman is in need of money. Otherwise, she wouldn't be selling her house at such a low price.”

"Well, this has nothing to do with us, right?" Jay said simply.

"Of course it has something to do with us.” Autumn looked at him exasperatedly. "If we buy her house at the price that she offers, then we can sell it off to someone else. We can earn a few million dollars through the price difference. This is a very good deal!" 'Well, you might be right, but there must be a lot of people who want to buy the house since she is selling it at a low price. We may not be able to buy it." Jay frowned.

Autumn narrowed her eyes. It was apparent that she had thought of everything. She let out a sneer as she said confidently, "I know I can’t depend on you if I want to buy the house. Have you forgotten who my brother is? I have discussed this with him, and he has decided to help me. We only need to give him 500,000 dollars as a token of gratitude for helping us. I have done the calculations. Even if we give him 500,000 dollars, we will still make a profit.”

Jay's heart skipped a beat when he heard what she said. "What are you going to do?"

Holden, his brother-in-law, was considered someone of consequence in Jerucity. He had made the daughter of a prestigious family fall head over heels for him by using certain means. The daughter had wanted to marry him, but her family had not favored him at all. The daughter had thrown a tantrum and had even threatened her family with her life, leaving her family no other choice but to let her marry him in the end. Since he had become their son-in-law, they had to take care of him no matter how much they did not like him.

Then, his life had begun to take off. He had become a top student, and his career had been smooth sailing ever since. Right now, he was the deputy of a certain bureau.

A leopard could not change its spots, though. After becoming deputy, Holden had gotten even more lawless. He was known as the "Little Overlord" of Jerucity. However, due to his connection to his father-in-law, as well as his attentiveness, he never offended those he should not offend. As a result, his life had been smooth over the years.

When Jay heard that Autumn had asked Holden for help, he had a hunch that they might be up to no good.

A touch of disdain flashed across

Autumn’s eyes when she saw Jay's face turning paler. She scoffed, "Look at you! I haven't said anything yet, and you've already gotten nervous. He is my brother. What are you afraid of?"
