Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 773: Chapter 776: Did I Cause Trouble for You?

Startled by a sound, it turned its head and saw the giant Gaby. It let out a MEOW and puffed up its fur, awkwardly jumping onto Thomas Shannon’s shoulder, retracting its head, and timidly peeking out from behind his shoulder, stealing glances at Gaby.

Thomas Shannon’s handsome face darkened. What a coward!

He looked at Sophie Sullivan with cold eyes. ”Where did you go?”

His gaze swept over Fluffy Zane. He knew Sophie was acquainted with Fluffy Zane, but he hadn’t realized they were this close.

Fluffy Zane was the first friend Sophie had brought back to the manor.

Sophie raised her hand to remove her mask. ”Fluffy ran into some trouble, so I went to pick her up.”

Facing Thomas Shannon, Fluffy Zane wasn’t as composed and fearless as Sophie. She looked at Sophie anxiously. ”Did I get you into trouble?”

”No, don’t overthink it.”

Sophie pulled her to sit down on the sofa, and a servant brought freshly brewed tea.

Thomas Shannon pulled Harry from his shoulder with one hand, forcefully hugging it. With his other hand, he smoothed its fur. ”What kind of trouble did you encounter?”

Fluffy Zane picked up her tea, took a sip, and then said, ”I had a small conflict with a group of foreigners, and they hit me.”

Thomas Shannon sneered coldly. ”Pathetic. Getting beaten by foreigners in your own country is a disgrace to even mention.”

Sophie irritably picked a grape from the fruit plate and threw it at him. ”No one will think you’re mute if you just keep quiet.”

”Fennie, I’m a patient,” Thomas Shannon said, catching the grape with one hand and casually feeding it to Harry.

Fluffy Zane looked at Thomas Shannon in shock. So, they weren’t hiding it anymore, and he had started calling her by an intimate name? It seemed that William Guillen wasn’t lying to her back then; they had indeed found out Sophie’s real name.

Sophie had a servant call the doctor, who then applied medicine to Fluffy Zane’s face. The man who hit her had been strong; after two slaps, her face was severely swollen.

The doctor prescribed some anti-swelling medication, told her to apply an ice pack for a while, and then left.

Sophie yawned delicately. ”I need to sleep for a bit. I’m so tired.”

She had been about to take her lunch break when Fluffy Zane’s phone call interrupted it.

Now, she was so sleepy she could fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes.

”You go rest. You don’t need to take care of me,” Fluffy Zane said with a smile from the side.

”I’ll have a servant take you to the guest room. If you’re tired, you should rest too. We’ll have dinner together tonight.”

After saying this, Sophie went upstairs with Gaby.

She was completely unaware that her tone sounded just like a mistress of the house.

Fluffy Zane quietly looked at Thomas Shannon and saw a smile playing at the corner of his lips, an indulgent expression on his face. Only then did she relax a little. It looked like Thomas Shannon treated Sophie well; that was a relief.

”Young Master Shannon, I’ll go rest too,” Fluffy Zane said, not daring to be alone with Thomas Shannon. His aura was too overpowering and made her feel extremely oppressed.

”Hmm.”

Thomas Shannon nodded slightly.

「One hour later.」

Charlie River, who was handling the aftermath, returned.

He saw Thomas Shannon and quickly walked up to him. ”Young Master...”

”Is it all taken care of?”

”Yes, Young Master, all taken care of.”

Thomas Shannon lowered his head, scratching Harry’s chin with one hand. ”What caused the conflict?”

”Young Master, those people confessed. They deliberately picked the fight; it wasn’t Miss Zane or her companions’ fault. They were acting on Miss Lillian Spencer’s orders to target them.”

Thomas Shannon’s eyes darkened. Lillian Spencer?

She had just returned yesterday, and today she had already figured out the relationship between Sophie and Fluffy Zane.
