Pampered by My Secret Husband

Thomas Shannon let out a soft laugh, just about to speak when Sophie Sullivan snatched the mobile phone away.

”William Guillen, have you finally tasted the bitterness of rejection?”

From the moment Thomas Shannon answered the phone, Sophie had been standing by his side, eavesdropping.

Upon hearing William being rejected, Sophie felt a surge of joy, thinking, William, you finally got your day!

William Guillen: ”...”

Where did this maniac come from?

”Think about it, for the past eight years, how many times has Autumn Johnson been rejected by you? Sure, she likes you, but that doesn’t mean she lets herself be pushed around.”

After saying this, Sophie tossed the mobile phone back to Thomas Shannon.

Thomas Shannon let out a light cough, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, ”Any other questions?”

”Did the maniac swallow explosives?” William Guillen snapped back to reality, so startled he dropped his cigarette.

He ground the cigarette butt under his toe a couple of times.

”No, just in a bad mood.” Thomas pulled Sophie into his embrace with one hand, ignoring her struggles, and lightly pecked her soft cheek.

William raised a hand to his forehead, ”Thomas... what should I do?”

”When you asked her to be your girlfriend when she was hurt, did you ever consider how she would feel? Whether your intentions were pure or not, she’d have doubts. Whatever she’s doubtful about, just dispel her doubts, right?”

William immediately deflated like a punctured puffer fish, speaking somewhat dejectedly, ”I don’t know how to dispel her doubts.”

”Aren’t you usually quite adept at handling women, doesn’t this stymie you?”

”Thomas... Autumn isn’t like those women.”

In the end, William grew even more frustrated and let out a long exhale of turbid air, ”Alright, let’s leave it at that for now.”

After hanging up the phone, Sophie immediately sprang up, her beautiful eyes staring at him intensely with a hint of interrogation: ”What does William want to do?”

Thomas put down the phone, one hand gently stroking her smooth back, his thin lips slightly curled up, ”Want to know?”

”No kidding.” Sophie nibbled on his chin, ”Quick, tell me, what does William plan to do? When Autumn was chasing after him, he barely cared, and now he wants to be with her?”

Despite being bitten, Thomas wasn’t annoyed, ”Didn’t you yourself suggest to Fluffy Zane that she get together with William?”

”I just didn’t want her to be at a disadvantage. Is it so wrong to fulfill a dream with the person whose life she risked hers to save?”

After a pause, she added, somewhat annoyed, ”Autumn isn’t like me, she’s not that selfish of a person. She won’t agree to it.”

”Rarely have I heard you express such clear self-awareness. You know you’re selfish?” Thomas pinched her jaw, their nose tips brushing lightly against each other, his warm breath showering her face.

Warm and tingling~

Sophie leaned her head back, trying to move away but couldn’t escape, so she let him continue, ”Isn’t selfishness good? At least I prioritize myself and my feelings.”

”You’ve considered yourself, but what about me?”

Sophie chuckled softly, poking his chest with her hand, ”You can learn from me, think more about yourself, can’t you?”

”Heartless little scamp.”

Thomas pressed her fidgeting body into his chest and lowered his head for a deep kiss.

On the third day in Country F, Sophie never expected to encounter an imposter.
