Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 547: Chapter 550: She Forgot Thomas Shannon

Lucifer grinned. ”I said I’d wait for you outside so that you could see me as soon as you woke up.”

”Alright,” Sophie nodded. ”I’m hungry...”

”Great, I haven’t had dinner either.”

Sophie almost choked on her water. Swallowing, she turned to look at Lucifer. ”You haven’t had dinner yet?”

She thought she was the only one who hadn’t eaten dinner. He hadn’t slept, so why hadn’t he eaten?

Could it be... he was waiting for her on purpose?

Lucifer’s answer confirmed her suspicion. ”I was waiting for Cecilia Branford to join me.”

Sophie: ”...”

Was he sure he was her friend and not some die-hard fan?

”Cecilia, your gaze makes me nervous...” Lucifer stood up, placing a hand on her shoulder. ”Don’t tell me you’re fantasizing about me.”

”Get lost!” Sophie shook his hand off.

Lucifer didn’t seem annoyed at all. He picked up the menu. ”What would you like to eat? Or should I order for you?”

”Whatever.” Sophie still hadn’t fully recovered her mood; she felt sad knowing her parents and grandparents were no longer alive.

Lucifer simply nodded. ”Then I’ll order your favorites.”

The waiter brought their midnight snack to the suite and set it on the dining table. Sophie and Lucifer sat down together. She was beginning to believe that he truly knew her well.

There wasn’t a single dish he had ordered that she disliked.

Every dish suited her taste perfectly.

”I’m glad your taste hasn’t changed in the past year,” Lucifer joked.

Sophie calmly lowered her eyelids. ”A person’s tastes and habits don’t change so Aiden Rock.”

Just like the blood in her veins, it had long since permeated her entire being, etched deep into her very bones.

”I thought your taste might have changed a bit, given the time you recently spent in Country A.”

Country A...

Sophie paused in her eating, a memory surfacing in her muddled head.

The locator alarm, Thomas Shannon...

Damn it!

Her expression changed. Too much had happened today. From the moment she arrived in Country J, she had met with Frank Mitchell and then encountered Lucifer.

So much had happened that she had forgotten about Thomas Shannon.

Moreover, she had forgotten to contact him in time to reassure him.

Sophie frowned in annoyance. Lucifer put down his knife and fork and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. ”Cecilia, what’s wrong?”

”I forgot to call Thomas Shannon...”

”Why do you need to call Thomas Shannon?” Lucifer looked unhappy, his deep blue eyes gazing at her with a hint of petulance.

Sophie sighed. ”I came to Country J to rescue a doctor from Frank Mitchell—the doctor who performed my facial reparative surgery. He’s extremely skilled, so he cannot afford to make any mistakes. Frank Mitchell wanted me to come alone, but Thomas Shannon didn’t agree. I had to work hard to persuade him. One of the conditions was that I keep him regularly updated on the situation and report my safety.”

Lucifer’s voice was tinged with jealousy. ”It seems Thomas Shannon really cares about you.”

Lucifer felt as if his cherished treasure had been discovered and was now being targeted by someone else.

It was an awful feeling!

”Do you want to call him now?” Lucifer asked, his tone serious.

Sophie shook her head. ”It’s already late. It can wait a little while. Let’s finish dinner first.”

Lucifer’s lips curled in satisfaction, his voice carrying a doting tone. ”MHM.”
