Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 624: Chapter 627: Don’t Touch Me!

My mobile phone is waterlogged...

It’s going to be even more difficult to contact Derek Clark outside now. Thomas Shannon is such a scheming man! Sophie felt more and more that he must have calculated everything from the very beginning; that’s why he’d jumped down so readily. Otherwise, with Young Master Shannon’s temper, how could he have jumped just because she told him to?

Thomas Shannon came over to her, reached out, and lifted her chin. ”Fennie, you didn’t ask me beforehand if the mobile phone was on me, did you? One can’t be so unreasonable and throw a tantrum, understand?”

Unreasonable? So now *she* was the one being unreasonable, was she?

SLAP!

A crisp sound rang out.

Sophie forcefully slapped his hand away and moved a short distance from him. ”Don’t touch me!”

”Alright, I won’t touch you.” Thomas Shannon smiled faintly and turned into the bath chamber.

In a while, the sound of running water was heard.

Sophie felt annoyed and agitated, her chest tight with discomfort. She got up and quickly left the bath chamber. She couldn’t stay in the same space with him any longer; she was afraid she’d lose control of herself and try to kill him.

Just as she walked out of the bedroom, she noticed a trail of water on the carpet, stretching from the study room to the bedroom. Thomas Shannon had still been dripping wet with water from the fountain. As if driven by some peculiar impulse, he had gone into the study, leaving this watery trail behind him.

She pushed open the study door and followed the water stains on the floor to the large oil painting hanging on the wall.

What had Thomas Shannon come here for?

Sophie reached out and touched the frame of the oil painting but found nothing special...

”Maniac, what are you doing?”

Just then, Charlie River’s voice rang out.

Sophie jumped in fright, her hand flying back from the oil painting’s frame.

Charlie River, his face expressionless, strode over. ”The study room is a restricted area. No one is allowed to enter without the Young Master’s permission. Maniac, what are you doing in here?”

Sophie continued to play dumb. ”You’re mean. I won’t tell you.”

With that, she darted around Charlie River and ran out of the study room.

As soon as she ran out of the study room, Sophie felt an inexplicable excitement stirring in her heart. Charlie River was so nervous; there had to be some ulterior secret inside the study room. A study room? Could there be a safe box? That’s it! For Charlie River to be that anxious, there must be something incredibly important inside, something outsiders weren’t allowed to know about. The possibility of a safe box was very high. If she could get the important files from Thomas Shannon’s safe box, couldn’t she then threaten him into letting her go?

Sophie’s lips curved into a smirk. At that time, she would be the one threatening him, not the other way around. She had long been fed up with the feeling of being threatened; it was time he got a taste of it himself.

As she went downstairs, she saw William Guillen sipping red wine. She walked straight towards the exit, looking right ahead.

”Maniac, where are you going?” William Guillen put down his goblet, his gentle voice as pleasant as a warm spring breeze.

”Mum said not to talk to strangers.”

William Guillen was stunned for a few seconds, then burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking. ”Maniac, are you three years old now?”

Unbelievably childish, he thought.

Sophie rolled her eyes. She was supposed to have amnesia right now; couldn’t he play along a little!

Having laughed his fill, William Guillen cleared his throat. He had actually come here today for two reasons. The first was to give Thomas Shannon the notebook found in the asylum. The second was related to Fluffy Zane.

”Maniac, don’t be in such a hurry to leave,” William Guillen said, standing up.
