Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 766: Chapter 769: Thomas Shannon... are you okay?

”I’ll go with you.” An unusual determination filled his eyes. He wouldn’t concede in the slightest.

Leo sensed trouble the moment he saw Sophie Sullivan and Thomas Shannon emerge together.

Sophie Sullivan didn’t get out of the car. Instead, she remained in Thomas Shannon’s car, lowered the window, and said to Leo, ”I’ll have Gaby get in your car. You lead the way.”

Leo nodded in agreement, without any objections.

He opened the back car door, and Gaby got in, repeatedly looking back at Sophie Sullivan, seemingly angry about why its master was abandoning it.

Seeing Gaby get into Leo’s car, Thomas Shannon’s icy face finally showed a trace of thaw.

That troublesome fellow should have left long ago.

He wrapped an arm around Sophie Sullivan and lowered his head towards her. She pushed his approaching head away with one hand.

Unexpectedly, Thomas Shannon gasped sharply. Sophie Sullivan turned her head and only then belatedly realized her hand was pressed right against his wound.

Thomas Shannon buried his head in her neck, his breathing coarse. Sophie Sullivan was at a loss. ”Thomas Shannon, are you okay?”

”...”

”Thomas Shannon, say something.” Sophie Sullivan lowered her head, intending to lift his. Only then did Thomas Shannon speak, his voice low and heavy, tinged with a faint weakness. ”My head... it hurts...”

Sophie Sullivan had only been focused on pushing him away just now and hadn’t paid attention to her strength; she might have aggravated his wound.

”I didn’t mean to... Are you okay?”

The full weight of his heavy body pressed against her. His hot breath fanned her neck, spraying intermittently against her skin.

Sophie Sullivan lifted a hand to pat his back, lowering her head slightly as she asked.

”Let me lean on you for a while to collect myself.”

Since he said so, how could Sophie Sullivan refuse?

Alright, let him lean then.

That’s what Sophie Sullivan thought, assuming that once he had recovered, he would sit up by himself.

However, Sophie Sullivan was ultimately too naive!

Once Thomas Shannon started leaning, he became like a boneless creature, not only resting against her but also hugging her tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

Concerned about his wound, Sophie Sullivan didn’t dare push him away forcefully.

The dining location was chosen in the Restaurant of Lucifer’s Hosted Hotel.

As they neared the hotel, Sophie Sullivan asked impatiently, ”Thomas Shannon, have you recovered yet?”

”Not yet...”

”Alright, then you stay in the car and rest well. Take your time recovering.”

Sophie Sullivan pushed him away, settling his body against the seat back. She gave a radiant smile. The moment the car came to a steady stop, she waved. ”I’m off now~”

Thomas Shannon reached out to grab her, but Sophie Sullivan had already pushed open the car door and stepped out.

And off she went.

Thomas Shannon propped his forehead with one hand. ”Fennie is becoming harder and harder to handle...”

The moment Gaby got out of the car, the hotel security swiftly formed a defensive line, refusing to let Gaby enter.

Leo stepped forward to negotiate while Sophie Sullivan rubbed Gaby’s head, trying to calm its agitation.

Soon, Thomas Shannon got out of the car, quickly came to her side, surveyed the situation with cold eyes, and asked, ”What happened?”

The Lobby Manager instantly recognized Young Master Shannon. Seeing this veritable King of Hell standing with Sophie Sullivan, and noting their apparently close relationship, the manager immediately waved the security away. Heart pounding, he stepped forward. ”Young Master Shannon, the hotel prohibits pets, especially... especially large, fierce animals like this. They absolutely cannot be allowed in. We’re thinking of our guests’ safety. We hope you can understand.”

”What if I insist on bringing Gaby in?”
