Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 898: Chapter 900: If There’s a Next Time, No One’s Face Will Help

”Oh?” Sophie Sullivan’s voice rose at the end. ”Because of the assassination attempt on him last time?”

Linda nodded.

Edward Benson heard the anger hidden in Sophie Sullivan’s tone and spoke to smooth things over, ”Linda has already realized her mistake. The previous attempt to assassinate Thomas was not her intention. It was because Lillian Spencer saved her at that time, and out of a sense of gratitude, she followed Lillian’s orders. Of course, I’m saying this not to excuse Linda; she was wrong, and what was done was wrong. So I brought her to apologize to Thomas Shannon. In the future, Linda will leave Lillian Spencer and stay by my side.”

Thomas Shannon understood this last sentence.

His friend, at the time of losing Isla Stanley, was not quite human nor ghost, like a walking corpse.

Nowadays, his beloved woman has returned, even if it costs him his life, he’s willing to give it.

The last sentence clearly indicated, Linda is his woman.

No matter what mistake she made, he will bear it with her.

The woman of a friend, how could Thomas Shannon make things difficult for her?

”Is it so easy to leave Lillian Spencer?”

Sophie Sullivan asked carelessly, scratching Harry’s chin with one hand, finally cheering up the fellow who was bunched up, now he’s contentedly closed his eyes and started to nap.

Linda didn’t expect Sophie Sullivan to make things difficult at this time.

She turned her head and looked at Edward Benson, who held her hand tightly, ”Maniac, don’t worry. Linda will stay by my side, Lillian Spencer won’t trouble her.”

”Is that so? That would be best then.” Sophie Sullivan leaned her head on Thomas Shannon’s shoulder, ”I’m worried she won’t be able to leave Lillian Spencer, and the assassination attempt might happen again. Thomas Shannon might not be so lucky as last time.”

Thomas Shannon lowered his head and looked at the little woman leaning on his shoulder. Was she worried about him?

A warm current filled his heart, making his heart tingle.

Linda’s voice was stiff, ”No, it won’t.”

”Alright, today I brought Linda here to apologize to Thomas Shannon for last time.” Edward Benson smoothed things over again, not wanting Sophie to continue.

He already clearly felt Sophie’s displeasure, only she hadn’t explicitly stated it.

Sophie can treat him however she wants, he just can’t bear to have Isla Stanley harmed in any way.

Linda’s hand was squeezed by him, she immediately understood, leaned over, poured a cup of tea, and placed it on the tea table in front of Thomas Shannon, ”I apologize for what happened last time, I’m sorry.”

Thomas Shannon nodded slightly, ”Mm.”

Feeling his friend’s fervent gaze, he reluctantly picked up the cup of tea and took a small sip.

Edward Benson’s tense nerves finally relaxed, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, smiling, ”Thomas, thank you!”

”I’m doing it for your sake.”

Sophie Sullivan leisurely added, ”Next time, no one’s face will be of any use.”

Linda’s change of attitude is truly suspicious.

Her apology wasn’t heartfelt.

Only Edward Benson, lost in the mire of love, couldn’t see through it. It truly confirms that saying—people in love are fools.

Edward Benson’s intelligence is now almost zero...

Even Sophie could see it, so surely Thomas Shannon saw it too, he just didn’t point it out.

Sophie Sullivan’s scrutinizing gaze made Linda uncomfortable all over, she lowered her eyelids and gently tugged at Edward Benson’s sleeve, ”Let’s go back...”
