Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 374: Chapter 376: In the End, I Owe You

”Hmm?”

Sophie Sullivan squinted, approached him, and with her delicate arms, encircled his neck.

Thomas Shannon tilted his head down accordingly, his deep-set eyes gazing at her intensely.

Sophie grinned knowingly, a hint of triumph in her smile. ”Do you like me?”

Thomas simply smiled without a word.

”Don’t deny it, I know you like me.” If she was still uncertain after surviving this explosion, then she would indeed be slow-witted.

Even though he didn’t admit it himself, she could feel it.

So, whether he admitted it or not, his liking her was a fact she had accepted in her heart.

Loosening her hold on him, Sophie hummed a tune and departed from the bedroom with light-hearted steps.

「Country J.」

「Cemetery.」

Frank Mitchell held a simple burial for Amelia Shaw’s ashes.

His feelings for Amelia were extremely complex.

Love?

He had loved her deeply once.

But their love had been defeated by reality. When he fell from the cloudscape, he was no longer enjoying a luxurious life and no longer had the ability to spend money like water. Her love then retracted immediately, shifting to another man.

Hate?

Yes, he hated Amelia.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen her as his informant.

He had watched like an outsider as she frantically tried to eliminate the women around Thomas Shannon again and again, sinking deeper and deeper, all her emotions burning for another man.

He certainly hated her for it. He was definitely jealous.

However, besides these sentimentalities, he had more important things to do.

This time, his aim had been to eliminate Thomas Shannon, but who would have thought that Thomas was more ruthless than anyone? He had already prepared an escape route, taking his woman to hide safely under a pillar. And Amelia... she had long since been riddled with bullets and killed.

He personally handled her affairs after her death, cremated her, and brought her ashes to Country J.

Here, he could keep her away from Country S and away from Thomas Shannon, giving her a peaceful space, letting her rest here forever.

”Samuel...”

Frank Mitchell squatted slowly, raised his hand, and gently touched the photo on the tombstone where Amelia once had a bright smile.

The photo was taken when they were together initially; at that time, they were so happy. He had thought they were about to build a happy family and have children, but then, everything fell apart. The company was gone, he was deep in debt, and she... she had left him too. Falling from the cloudscape into a mud pond, he had been devastated for a while.

”At first I thought your so-called liking for Thomas Shannon was just about his money. He could provide you with a worry-free life, he could afford your spending spree, but now, I believe. You indeed fell in love with Thomas Shannon...”

You truly had long ago changed your heart, fallen in love with Thomas Shannon.

Frank Mitchell chuckled lightly, a trace of self-mockery in his voice. ”After all, it’s what I owe you... Don’t worry, I’ll soon send Thomas Shannon to keep you company, very soon.”

Withdrawing his gaze without any reluctance, Frank Mitchell rose and left the cemetery, his silhouette cold and resolute.

George Field and William Field were saved and brought back by their faithful attendants, who sacrificed their lives.

Although they survived by the skin of their teeth, they were greatly debilitated.

In the short term, they wouldn’t be able to cause trouble.

Sophie still had some minor injuries, all resulting from bumps and falls during the kidnapping. The fall from mid-air in the warehouse was particularly severe.
