Chapter 156 Let's Go Crazy Together
"
Susanna heard Austin's words and lowered her voice, replying, ""Austin, I've decided to keep this child.""
To her, the children in her belly were her family and had nothing to do with Aaron.
Austin patted her head. ""Your brothers are successful now. We can definitely support you and the children in the future, so you don't have to work so hard.""
""I know.""
Susanna had also made up her mind. Once she completed her credits, she could get her diploma and leave.
After returning home, Susanna went straight to wash up and prepare for bed.
In the wedding villa, after Aaron finished his work and returned to the bedroom from the study, he made a point to inspect the outfit. However, when he laid eyes on the red suit, his brows furrowed deeply.
'Is this the outfit Susanna had picked for me?' he asked inwardly.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Aaron wouldn't have believed it.
He dialed Susanna's number. She answered quickly, showing no surprise at his call. In a composed tone, she inquired, ""What's on your mind?""
Aaron, rubbing his temples in frustration, said, ""Is this the outfit you picked for me? It's so red. Are you colorblind?""
""I think it suits you well. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it.""
""Susanna, I spent one hundred thousand dollars , and this is what you picked for me?""
Hearing the man's gritted teeth, Susanna struggled to contain her laughter, but she managed to maintain a serious tone and replied, ""As per our agreement, no returns or exchanges.""
""Susanna, is this how you treat your client?"" Aaron retorted.
""No, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Don't trust women easily, especially those who have issues with you.""
With that, Susanna hung up the phone. She rolled around on the bed, laughing until tears came out.
'That one hundred thousand dollars is well spent. Who told him to use money to embarrass me?' she mocked inwardly.
Now, Aaron could experience what it meant to deal with a treacherous heart!
On the other end of the line, Aaron stared at his phone and ripped off his tie in anger, thinking, 'She is definitely my Karma, and she dared to charge him one hundred thousand dollars !'
He felt incredibly foolish.
The next day, Susanna went to work again. She planned to think carefully about how to explain her resignation to Dick.
After all, with her belly growing day by day, it was getting harder to juggle between Epic Horizon and school.
When Susanna arrived at Epic Horizon, there was a bouquet of bright roses on her desk.
A colleague said enviously, ""Susanna, the boss personally put these on your desk. Although he told us not to say anything, everyone is really envious of you.""
Susanna felt a bit awkward and thought it was time to talk to Dick.
She went straight to Dick's office and knocked on the door. Dick looked up happily and said, ""Susanna, you're here. What's up?""
""Dick, I plan to resign.""
After she spoke, Dick's expression changed dramatically. ""Susanna, is it because my mom gave you the wrong drink yesterday at dinner and you're upset? I'm really sorry. My mom doesn't usually go to such fancy restaurants, so she didn't recognize the labels and thought they were all the same.""
""Dick, I know your mom made an honest mistake yesterday. But I'm not resigning because of that. It's just that my schoolwork is getting more demanding, and I can't keep up.""
Dick said quickly, ""If you're too busy, you don't have to come to work at Epic Horizon. Didn't we agree before? You come to work only when you have time. I won't force you.""
Susanna hesitated and said, ""I know, but it's not fair to other colleagues. I'm also feeling a bit tired lately and don't want to work anymore. I can work after I graduate.""
""Susanna, even so, you don't have to resign. It is really flexible in my company. You don't have to worry about fairness to other colleagues because you're different from them.""
Susanna looked up in surprise, and Dick added, ""Susanna, I believe you can tell that I have feelings for you. Especially after everything we've been through, don't you have any feelings for me?""
""I'm sorry, Dick. I've always seen you as a friend.""
Susanna rejected Dick directly.
A look of disappointment and reluctance appeared in Dick's eyes. Finally, he said, ""Susanna, how about this? You can just come to work on weekends. You know that because of you, Epic Horizon has received many orders. If you resign now, it will affect my company. Just do it as a favor to a friend and come to work on weekends.""
Seeing the scar on Dick's head, Susanna felt a bit soft-hearted, answering, ""Alright.""
Dick sighed with relief. ""Susanna, don't worry about my mom's mistake yesterday.""
""It's okay. I don't mind.""
After the conversation, Susanna returned to her desk, but she appeared distracted. Tomorrow was Grandma Maria's surgery, and she felt a bit nervous.
In the evening, Susanna waited for Austin to get off work and personally discussed Grandma Maria's situation with him.
Austin replied calmly, ""Mrs. Abbott's health has been stable recently. As long as there are no complications during the surgery, there shouldn't be any problems. You can relax.""
Susanna breathed a sigh of relief. That was good to hear.
The next morning, she got ready to go to the hospital early.
Madison, surprised to see Susanna up so early, asked, ""Where are you going so early? Don't you have classes in the afternoon on Mondays?""
Susanna paused. ""Madison, Grandma Maria is having surgery today. I need to go see her.""
""Oh, you should definitely go. I hope Mrs. Abbott's surgery goes well and she has a speedy recovery,"" said Madison.
Susanna hadn't slept well the night before. She also hoped the surgery would go smoothly and that Grandma Maria would come out of it safely.
She took a cab to the hospital. Feeling hungry, the two babies in her belly started protesting again.
Susanna had no choice but to buy some breakfast near the hospital.
As she ate and walked into the hospital, a sports car suddenly sped by, almost hitting her.
Startled, Susanna quickly dodged to the side, dropping her milk on the ground.
After the sports car was parked, Erica got out, looking down at Susanna arrogantly. ""Susanna, I thought you weren't afraid of anything. Turns out you do get scared.""
Seeing Erica get out of the car, Susanna's expression darkened.
She touched her belly to comfort the babies inside, then picked up the spilled milk and threw it at the sports car.
Milk splattered all over the car seats, leaving white stains everywhere.
Erica was stunned and furiously said, ""Susanna, are you crazy? Do you know how expensive this car is? You couldn't afford it even if you worked for ten years.""
Susanna grabbed Erica's hair, her eyes coldly staring at her.
