Chapter 363 What Would He Do
Chapter 363 What Would He Do
"What the heck is going on!” Luna Harris was becoming slightly agitated too. "Joseph abducted Susie and Serenity but refused to negotiate any terms, so what does he want actually?"
"Don’t worry, Mom. They will be fine," consoled Anna Wright softly.
Luna frowned in grief.
All of a sudden, Chesney Shaw began laughing toward Luna from her cot.
Luna could not help laughing upon seeing Chesney swinging her chubby arms and blinking her huge eyes.
She picked up Chesney and played with her for a while. All of a sudden, she became worried once again.
The poor child had yet to find out about the cruelty of this world. She wondered what sort of situation the child’s mother was in now.
"Chessie, don’t grow up so fast." Luna kissed Chesney's cheek.
If the child were to grow up slower, she would be happy and carefree like how she was now for eternity. If she were to grow up and Susie had not returned yet, how pitiful would she be?
At the thought of this, Luna's eyes turned red with grief once again.
Chesney blinked and stretched out a tiny hand that rubbed Luna's face gently as if she was trying to dry Luna's tears.
Luna’s heart softened at once.
She held Chesney cautiously then said, "Julian, Chesney's rash has almost fully healed already. I spoke to the doctor yesterday as well. He said that Chessie has a strong body so her condition has already stabilized now and it shouldn’t be an issue for her to travel by flight. I'm thinking of taking her back t o the Wrights’ home."
"Alright." Julian Shaw nodded and answered, "Let's head back to Skyking City together."
"Hmm." Luna’s expression appeared extremely gentle as she held the baby in her arms.
Luna and the others assumed that Joseph had not proposed any conditions yet.
Jacob Shelby on the other hand was in the know. He could not help asking Julian in secret, "You're most probably going to live with the Wrights when you are i n Skyking City this time. You..."
He had no idea what Julian was planning to do. Could it be that Julian really wanted to take action against George Wright and Oliver Wright?
Julian narrowed his eyes and then he said, "Jacob, from now on, just act as if you don't know the existence of this phone number. Leave what's going to happen next to me, I’ll handle it alone."
"How are you planning to handle it?" Jacob was rather anxious.
He was well aware of Julian's love for Susan Shelby. Jacob absolutely believed that Julian would take action on George and Oliver for Susan.
This was because he would do the same too. If he had t o choose only one between the lives of Susan, George, and Oliver, he would choose Susan without a doubt!
"This matter is not related to you. You will only need t o remember that you don't know about the existence o f this phone number," said Julian.
"Susie is my little sister. I have a right to know what your plan is." Jacob clenched his teeth.
"Susie is my life." Julian looked at Jacob. "I won’t make a decision that will hurt Susie regardless. I hope that you can trust me fully and act as if you are unaware of this matter from now on."
Jacob looked at Julian in all apparent seriousness for a while. After a long time, he said, "I trust you. I promise you that I won't partake in this matter for the time being. However, you must inform me if there's any progress."
"Alright," answered Julian while nodding.
Jacob heaved a sigh but there was a tinge of sorrow in his expression.
What could be done just to break the deadlock? He had no idea at all so he really hoped that Julian could figure out a way.
After going through the discharge formalities, Julian, Jacob, Luna and the others returned to Skyking City right away.
By the time Madam Shaw received the update, Julian and the others had already arrived in Skyking City. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Madam Shaw called up Julian but Julian refused to pick up at all.
In the unsolved situation, half the blame was on Madam Shaw. Julian really did not feel like confronting his mother now. Madam Shaw attempted t o call for a few more times but did not receive any response so she could only give up trying out of frustration.
"Julian really resents me this time." Madam Shaw sat all alone, dumbstruck in bewilderment. "Do you think that I was wrong?"
Madam Shaw sounded like she was inquiring but she also sounded like she was talking to herself.
The servant next to her looked left and right cautiously and noticed that there was no one else in the surroundings. She said cautiously, "Madam Shaw, frankly, Young Master and Young Madam Shaw love each other so much just like how you used to be with Master Shaw. Why do you have to...constantly go against Mrs. Shaw?" "How am I going against her? It's obviously her fault for misbehaving! How can she be a good match for Julian?” said Madam Shaw furiously. 2
However, she felt guilty conscience creeping into her heart.
Even though she refused to acknowledge it, she felt something in the depths of her heart toward Susan. It was an ineffable feeling of...jealousy?
The most important person in Julian's life was obviously her in the past. Yet, everything changed when Susan appeared.
How could Madam Shaw accept this willingly?
The servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "So what type of person do you think is a good match for Young Master Shaw then, Madam?"
Madam Shaw said without the slightest hesitation, "Of course it's...”
She suddenly blanked out at the end of her sentence.
This was because she pondered for a long time and felt that her son was too perfect. No woman in this world was a good match for him.
The servant could not help saying, "So, do you want the young master to end up all alone until old age, madam?"
"No, of course not!” Madam Shaw refuted, then cast a glance at the servant furiously. "Why are you talking s 0 much? Go away and stop bothering me."
"Yes, madam.” The servant hastily backed off.
Madam Shaw rubbed her temples with a look of fatigue in her eyes.
She thought about how much agony Julian was in after Susan went missing and she felt rather regretful after all.
Was she being a little too assertive in judging Susan based on those photos?
After all, Chesney Shaw was genuinely a child of the Shaws.
Madam Shaw could not help clenching her teeth in rage.
However, the family members of the Wrights were abominable. They seized a small mistake of hers and blew it up indefinitely. They had even forcefully took Chesney away from her. 3
Hmph, she would never forgive the Wrights' action unless Susan returned and came to apologize to her personally.
If Susan apologized properly, she would forget everything in the past and start a clean slate with Susan just so she would not make things difficult for Julian! 3
At the thought of this, Madam Shaw could not help regaining her calmness.
All in all, she was a senior member of the family and
Susan was a junior member. She would certainly uphold this relationship with Susan. If Susan refused t o come and apologize to her, she would never relent. 1
Madam Shaw sat in the living room proudly.
Her silhouette appeared stubborn yet lonely.
In Skyking City, at the Wrights' home, it was already the second day since Joseph Shaw called.
Other than Julian and Jacob, the rest of the people were unaware of Joseph’s condition.
Even though Julian was staying with the Wrights, he did not behave any differently.
Jacob looked at Julian with a constant worried look o n his face. He wondered what Julian would do.
