Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 644: Chapter 647: Is it so hard to stay by my side?

”Thomas Shannon, you must be the most fickle and temperamental man in the world!”

Fickle and temperamental?

A faint smirk touched Thomas Shannon’s lips. ”If you have anything else to say, spill everything hidden in your heart.”

Sophie struggled, twisting her body. ”Let me go first...”

”Just say it like this.”

”So many people are watching, Thomas Shannon, you...”

Before Sophie could finish, Thomas Shannon had already pulled her into the lounge.

He pinned her against the wall, the corner of his lips curling into a wicked smile. ”Now no one can see us.”

Sophie said nothing.

She remained silent for a long moment. Thomas lowered his head. ”Fennie, speak.”

”Thomas Shannon, can you let me go?”

Sophie was truly tired. Before Lucifer found her, she could only rely on Thomas Shannon.

She admitted that she had indeed taken advantage of him, but she had also compensated him with her body.

She had more important things to do and didn’t want to spend every day scheming and fighting with his servants.

That was not the life she wanted.

Her life shouldn’t be wasted on such trivial matters.

”Let you go?” Thomas Shannon sneered. Then who would let me go?

Under his fierce gaze, Sophie nodded. ”Can we part amicably?”

”We never started on good terms, so how can we part amicably?”

Thomas Shannon stroked her cheek with one hand. ”Old Mr. Standford had an accident. Your face might not recover. Aren’t you worried?”

”If it can’t recover, then so be it.” Sophie smiled bitterly. ”This is probably fate, the tribulation I’m destined to experience.”

She’s resigned herself to fate? Truly unexpected.

”Fennie, you don’t seem like the type to resign yourself so easily.”

Sophie smiled bitterly, her gaze distant and tinged with a fragile vulnerability. ”What else can I do? Other than accepting my fate, I have no other choice.”

”No, you have one more option.”

Thomas Shannon raised his other hand, intending to place it on her head. Sophie tilted her head, trying to dodge, but couldn’t. She could only mutter, ”What option?”

”Stay by my side, and everything you want will be granted.”

”No!” Sophie refused decisively, without a moment’s hesitation.

Thomas Shannon’s handsome face darkened in anger. ”Is it so difficult to stay by my side?”

”Stay by your side and let you bully me every day?”

”Do I bully you every day?” Thomas Shannon snorted. I finally understand. She’s just an ungrateful wretch! An ungrateful one! After how I’ve treated her, doesn’t she feel any gratitude at all?

Sophie stiffened her neck and also snorted. ”Not every day, but almost.”

”And haven’t you bullied me?” Thomas Shannon’s cold eyes stared sharply at her.

Sophie widened her eyes. ”I bullied you? When did I ever have the ability to bully you, Young Master Shannon?”

”You were all lovey-dovey with Lucifer, you even tried to escape from me, and you actually did. Isn’t that bullying me?”

Sophie was silent.

She found herself utterly speechless.

So, in Young Master Shannon’s mind, disobeying him was considered bullying. This was certainly a new lesson for me.

”Also!” At the mention of this, Thomas Shannon grew angrier, his handsome face flushed with rage. ”Those words you said to me in the desert—you’ve completely gone back on them, acting as if you don’t even know me!”
