Chapter 605 Ending (1)
Staring at the river that flickered like a diamond, Julian said in a hushed voice," It's all over, Susie."
It was only at this moment that everything was over.
Susan nodded with a complex expression on her face.
Julian ran his fingers over Susan's hair but did not say anything.
The evening sun had dyed the surface of the river with a layer of gold. Time seemed to have stopped, and everything was so ethereal as if this were a dream.
After a long while, Susan hesitated and leaned her head against Julian's shoulder.
The corners of Julian's lips curled up a little. Then, he scooped Susan up and held her tightly in his embrace.
Willa had been the root of all this trouble, and she had gotten the retribution that she deserved.
However, the trauma she had left behind had not disappeared completely.
In the past few months, Julian had felt like there was an invisible wall between him and Susan. No matter how hard they tried, the two of them could not get back to the closeness that they used to share in the past.
However, it seemed like the invisible wall had finally dissipated at that moment.
Julian felt that God must adore him particularly. Otherwise, He would not have given him a chance to redeem himself after he had made so many mistakes.
He and Susan would still have fights and argue with each other. Nevertheless, as long as they loved each other, they would be able to tackle any problems that life hurled at them. One year later...
Susan was sitting on a couch and studying how to weave a scarf.
"Drink some water, Susie."
Julian looked at Susan and handed her a cup of water.
"Put it on the table," Susan said as she continued to study the pattern of the scarf.
Julian put the cup on the coffee table and then looked at Susan sadly.
He stood up and deliberately walked in front of Susan.
He walked from left to right and then from right to left again. He kept doing this until Susan could not stand it anymore.
She rubbed her temples and snarled, "What the hell are you doing? Stop walking in front of me and sit down!"
Julian was speechless.
Susan was getting fiercer and fiercer each day.
Julian felt like he was becoming increasingly more invisible in this house.
Susan had left him hanging for an hour.
He had just returned from his business trip.
"What are you reading about, Susie?" Julian snuggled up to Susan, as he felt too lonely being ignored by her.
Susan did not raise her head as she replied, "Winter is around the corner, so I want to knit a scarf for Chessie and Luca."
'A scarf? Knitted by Susan?'
Julian's eyes lit up brightly but then dimmed down very soon. He said with a tinge of jealously in his voice, "Only for Chessie and Luca?"
"Yeah," Susan replied.
Julian felt even more depressed when Susan replied so straightforwardly.
He did not say anything else. He just sat beside Susan and watched her.
Susan felt goosebumps erupt on her skin after Julian stared at her for a long time. Feeling a little helpless, she raised her head and asked, "Do you want one?" "A scarf? Nah, I have one already," Julian replied indifferently.
"Okay, I won't make one for you then," Susan said directly, leaving Julian speechless.
Three seconds later...
"It's not that I don't want it. Well, if you really want to knit one for me, I will accept it," Julian said guiltily in a rush.
Susan was tickled pink by Julian. She looked at him and said, "Thank you then."
"You're welcome," Julian responded.
After Susan decided on the pattern, she began knitting the scarf.
Julian admired Susan's profile for a while and then fished out his phone and secretly took a photo of her.
No sooner had he taken a photo of her than he uploaded it to his Facebook. He even made a post to go along with the photo to show off.
"I have plenty of scarves, but Susie still wants to knit a new one for me. *Sigh* There is no place in my house to keep my scarves anymore." The photo showed Susan knitting the scarf seriously.
Julian checked his post again and only posted after he was satisfied with it.
After he posted it, Julian kept refreshing his Facebook page as he waited eagerly for likes and comments.
Meanwhile, Seth and Jacob were discussing their latest product.
While they were talking, Seth pulled out his phone and the first thing he saw was Julian's post.
He read his post and was astounded by how shameless Julian was.
'Susie still wants to knit a new one for me?'
'Liar! You must have begged Susan to knit one for you.'
'There is no place in my house to keep my scarves anymore?'
'Damn it. Can you stop being so lovey-dovey? It's just a scarf. Your house cannot even store one scarf?'
Seth was left speechless by Julian's shamelessness. In the end, he decided to ignore the post.
"What did you see? Why do you look like you have seen a ghost?" Jacob asked curiously.
Seth pushed the phone toward Jacob. "See for yourself."
Jacob took a look at the phone and did not know what to say either.
'Mr. Shaw can you be any more
straightforward to show your
affection for your wife? It's tool.net
obvious what you're up to. You think everyone can't guess your intention?' en.swhovels.net
While the two of them did not know what to say, their phones rang at the same time.
They picked up their phones and saw a message from Julian.
"Please help me and like the first post on my page."
Seth and Jacob were speechless again.
Not only would he not allow them to ignore his post, but he also wanted them to like it.
Unable to hold back anymore, Seth replied indignantly, "Can you please stop it? Not everyone has a wife.like you." "Not everyone has a wife? I thought you got engaged to Dara already," Julian replied.
Seth and Lara had been forced to get engaged one year ago.
"Don't talk about that. We were both set up by our families. In any case, neither of us will acknowledge the engagement," Seth said.
"Alright then," Julian replied.
After a short while, another message came. "Oh yeah, don't forget to like my post."
Seth said, "Don't stop me, Jacob. I want to have a fight with him."
Jacob shot a glance at him and said, "Go ahead."
Seth said, "Forget it. I'll let him go this time."
Jacob let out a light chuckle.
After he sent this message to everyone, a contented smile danced around Julian's lips as he looked at the rapidly-rising number of likes. 'Perfect,' he said inwardly.
He stole a glance at Susan to check her progress and was as happy as a clam when he realized he would have a new scarf to wear soon. The employees of StarTech were going through a beautiful period these days.
In order to show that they had seen Julian's post, all the employees would ask Julian about the scarf from time to time.
One of them praised Susan. "Mrs. Shaw indeed has a pair of clever hands."
Someone else said, "Mr. Shaw is so fortunate to have a wife like Mrs. Shaw."
A whole group flattered him. "Mr. Shaw, you must show us the scarf after it's done so that we can learn something from Mrs. Shaw."
Julian was in seventh heaven after receiving so much praise from everyone.
One day, two days, three days, seven days passed in that manner.
Everyone was asking about the progress of the scarf.
Julian could not help asking Susan when he went back home from work, "Susie, is the scarf done yet?"
Susan replied matter-of-factly, "Not yet. I didn't like the pattern so I'm making a new one."
Julian waited another week, yet Susan really took her time and kept tearing the scarf down to make a new one.
When he asked about the progress again, Susan could not help asking him back," Why are you in such a hurry? It's not time to wear a scarf yet."
Julian had no idea what to say. He
wanted to tell Susan that he had told everyone about the scarf and that everybody would laugh at him if the scarf was not made in the end However, he did not know how to
phrase his sentence.
