Pampered by My Secret Husband

Under the tree shade, Lucifer is feeding chilled fruit to Gabby.

Gabby is lazily munching on the fruit on the lawn.

From time to time, she affectionately bumps Lucifer with her head.

”Cecilia, you’re here.” Lucifer says, smiling as he rubs Gabby’s head.

Sophie Sullivan, burdened with worries, sits down beside Lucifer and raises her hand to touch Gabby’s head, ”Lucifer, after my accident, did you look for Laura?”

Laura was one of Sophie Sullivan’s few friends. On the day of her accident, she was going to meet Laura.

That day, the weather was stiflingly hot, and she was feeling irritable, not wanting to go. However, Laura repeatedly emphasized on the phone that she had to attend, or else she’d be upset.

Laura had always been a gentle character, never speaking loudly, and in Sophie Sullivan’s presence, her presence seemed even weaker under Sophie’s aura.

That day, Laura uncharacteristically lost her temper.

Along with the accusation, she decried Sophie Sullivan for always ordering her around over the years, making her feel disrespected.

Sophie Sullivan’s bad temper was widely known in Country F, and being criticized like that left her angry inside.

Sophie Sullivan decided to go to the meeting, though she was delayed.

Laura’s calls came one after another, bombarding her until Sophie Sullivan had no choice but to leave the castle and head to the designated place.

After saying goodbye to Herman & Jennifer, Sophie Sullivan took Gabby and got into the car together.

Little did she know, her bodyguard had already been turned and had become an accomplice.

When Gabby was injured and taken away, Sophie Sullivan was kidnapped to another place, subjected to cruel treatment, her voice destroyed, face slashed, and pushed out from a high building.

Her thoughts abruptly stopped.

Sophie Sullivan forcefully closed her eyes; she hadn’t dared to mention these past events to Lucifer, and if she didn’t bring it up, Lucifer wouldn’t ask, patiently waiting for the day she’d voluntarily speak.

Such a painful experience was too much for Sophie Sullivan herself, let alone for Lucifer, who cared about her.

”Laura?” Seeing her facial color change, Lucifer loosened his hold on Gabby and lightly placed a hand on her shoulder, ”When I returned, the first person I searched for was Laura. She’s already married. You’d never guess who her husband is.”

”Her cousin’s fiancé, right?” Sophie Sullivan smirked coldly, slowly opening her eyes.

She had noticed something subtle before; what girl looks at her cousin’s fiancé with eyes full of affection?

Those eyes, heavy with admiration, were impossible to hide.

Sophie Sullivan never liked to meddle in such matters before, so she didn’t ask. Now, it seemed someone helped Laura at that time.

That’s why on that day, Laura kept calling her, both accusing and angrily bombarding.

Pressuring her to leave.

”Cecilia truly is astute and clever. I never expected her marriage partner to be her cousin’s fiancé. However, when I found her at that time, she said she’d already become a full-time wife at home, having not socialized for a long time. She was clueless about your message as well.”

At this point, Lucifer’s eye color deepened, ”Cecilia, was she involved in the events of that year too?”

”If my guess is correct, she must have been bought off by Isabel. Laura fancied her cousin’s fiancé just like Isabel fancied my fiancé. What’s the difference? In a certain way, aren’t they the same type of person? So they are more likely to empathize with each other’s experiences.”
