Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 456: Chapter 458: You still want to deceive me!

Two flames blazed in Thomas Shannon’s eyes; he found it hard to calm down. ”Tell me, why are you throwing a tantrum?”

”Why bother asking when you already know?”

”I want to hear it from your own mouth.”

Sophie Sullivan closed her eyes briefly and took a deep breath. ”First, let go of me.”

Thomas Shannon did as she asked and released her. Sophie Sullivan forced a smile. ”Are you angry that I ran away the day before your business trip?”

The corner of Thomas Shannon’s mouth curled up slightly in tacit agreement.

”Thomas Shannon, don’t you know I hate Raina Bell?” Sophie Sullivan found this utterly laughable. ”You’re the one who personally said that Raina Bell is not allowed to set foot in the castle without permission. She entered without permission. I hit her, and you stopped me. Why did you stop me from hitting her? Have you ever considered the reason?”

Indeed, he was the master of the manor, and even more so, the master of those female slaves—their day. Those slave girls were all his people. He could even make any one of them the mistress of this manor. He had said that Raina Bell was not to take a step into the castle without permission, but she hadn’t taken it seriously. I punished her; was that so wrong? Or was the act of punishing Raina Bell itself wrong?

To Sophie Sullivan, his protecting Raina Bell was simply favoritism.

Back then, I could even hit Minimus Hart when he made a mistake. Why, when it came to Raina Bell, does she get special privileges here?

”You’re not angry that I ran away; you’re angry because I met Frank Mitchell. It’s because Amelia Shaw, whom you once liked, chose Frank Mitchell and rejected you. He is your nemesis, your rival in love. You cannot accept that I met Frank Mitchell, and even less that I might ally with him and betray you.”

Sophie Sullivan smiled faintly, looking at Thomas Shannon, and said, enunciating each word, ”Thomas Shannon, am I right?”

In other words, he could accept my running away. After all, his interest in me has already waned compared to his interest in Raina Bell. I am dispensable to him. What he couldn’t accept was my association with Frank Mitchell; that made him feel betrayed.

At this moment, the man’s possessiveness was on full display.

If the person I met that day had been any other man, he probably wouldn’t have been this angry. But... that person was Frank Mitchell. That’s an unforgivable crime in his eyes!

”You want me to agree with you?” Thomas Shannon lifted her chin with one hand, lowered his head, and whispered, ”Do you think I brought Raina Bell on my business trip for her serving me?”

”Isn’t that so?”

”Of course not.” Seeing how angry she was, Thomas Shannon decided, out of kindness, to tell her the truth.

However, before he could speak, Sophie Sullivan said angrily, ”You still want to deceive me! When I called you, Raina Bell said you were changing clothes!”

Changing clothes at that specific time? If it wasn’t changing clothes after a bath, what else could it be?! Does he really think I’m that easy to deceive?!

The angrier Sophie Sullivan got, the more she recalled Raina Bell’s tone at that time. Unable to control the rage swelling within her, she lifted her foot and stomped hard on his foot. ”Liar!”
