Pampered by My Secret Husband

Sophie Sullivan quickly regained her composure and softened her tone, ”You hurt me. Can’t you be a bit gentle?”

Thomas Shannon’s complex gaze gradually moved down and landed on her slender wrist.

Sure enough, a red mark appeared on her delicate skin.

Realizing what he had done, Thomas Shannon, rather gentlemanly, released his grip, ”Sorry.”

Sophie broke free with a slight struggle and withdrew her wrist from his palm.

Rubbing her reddened wrist, Sophie pursed her lips and turned to leave. Thomas Shannon, standing behind her, said in a deep voice, ”Where are you going?”

”Back to the room.”

”Your room is this way.”

Sophie turned around again, gave him a glance, ”Lead the way.”

Thomas Shannon chuckled softly, a handsome look without any displeasure, and he stepped forward to lead the way.

Pressing his fingerprint, he opened the door and stood at the doorway, raising an eyebrow slightly, ”Please.”

”Is this my room?” Don’t think she didn’t notice earlier that he didn’t swipe a room card, but used a fingerprint.

”Come in.” Thomas Shannon said, pushing the door open, and entered the room first.

Sophie took a deep breath and followed him. As soon as she stepped into the room, Thomas Shannon shut the door.

The man advanced towards her step by step, Sophie frowned and instinctively retreated, ”What do you want to do?”

”Weren’t you the one who wanted to talk?” Thomas Shannon raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sophie nodded, ”Yes, I want to talk. But are you willing to make this deal with me?”

”That depends on your sincerity. I am a businessman, I only care about benefits.”

Since she wanted to buy this batch of weapons from him, she had to pay some price to satisfy him.

If not, he could easily collaborate with Andres.

The price Andres offered was quite tempting.

The phrase ’only care about benefits’ made Sophie’s furrowed brows relax; it was good that he cared about benefits.

She was just afraid he didn’t want benefits, but something else.

Money, she could give. As for anything else, it would be difficult.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, ”Alright, you can state your terms.”

”From your tone, are you saying you can agree to any terms I propose?”

”Whether I can agree or not, I have to hear them first, don’t I?”

Thomas Shannon appreciated this about her, his thin lips curled into an indistinct smile as he stood in front of her.

With his height advantage, he could only look down at her, while she had to slightly tilt her head to look up at him.

From this angle, she seemed incredibly obedient, except for the stubborn defiance in her gaze, she could indeed be seen as a well-behaved person.

”Cecilia Branford, you know what I want.”

”I don’t know.”

”Cecilia, why don’t I decide our marriage with your uncle today? Since we’re family, this batch of weapons should naturally be sold to your uncle.”

Sophie suppressed her anger, speaking slowly, ”I don’t understand what my uncle wants with these things. We’re just businessmen, these things are harmful and not beneficial to us. Besides, I don’t understand what ambitions my uncle has, so the more I think about it, the more I feel this deal should be off.”

She had automatically stood from his perspective. One word, ’we’, pleased him.

”Call it off?” Thomas Shannon furrowed his brow, pretending to be troubled, ”But what should I do? I’ve already formed a substantial relationship with you, it’s hard to explain to your uncle.”

”Love between a man and a woman is completely normal. We’re both emotionally mature adults, no need to fret over the issue of responsibility.”

Thomas Shannon held her delicate chin, ”Cecilia Branford, you’re the second woman I want to be responsible for.”

”Who was the first?” Sophie instinctively asked.

The words left her mouth almost without thought, bypassing her mind.

As soon as she spoke, she was stunned.

Thomas Shannon’s facial color turned grim, ”I don’t want to mention that woman.”

”Why?”

”A heartless woman, mentioning her only spoils the mood!”
