Pampered by My Secret Husband

”Well, quite an interest, do you know where he is now?”

”His world tour is just on a whim, so I’m also unaware of his whereabouts,” Sophie Sullivan’s red lips curled slightly. ”Why doesn’t His Excellency Prime Minister send someone to investigate?”

Such talk of a world tour can often be disregarded.

Trying to deceive His Excellency Prime Minister would be underestimating him.

”Andres seems quite interested.” His Excellency Prime Minister knew well but merely smiled gently and changed the topic.

A dinner went on with casual chat about trivial matters without getting to the main point for a while.

After dinner, the Prime Minister proposed to speak privately with Thomas Shannon.

Thomas Shannon nodded in agreement, and His Excellency Prime Minister said to Sophie Sullivan and His Highness Lucifer, ”Then, Miss Cecilia Branford and Your Highness Lucifer, please feel at ease, I will have a conversation with Young Master Shannon.”

”Please go ahead,” Lucifer looked at Thomas Shannon with a faint smile.

Thomas Shannon was invited to the Prime Minister’s study room. This study was not used for office work, so there was no worry about Thomas Shannon seeing anything confidential.

”Young Master Shannon, please sit,” His Excellency Prime Minister gestured invitingly, indicating for him to sit down and talk.

Thomas Shannon nodded lightly and took a seat on the sofa, while Charlie River stood beside him.

The secretary brought freshly brewed black tea, and then got up to say to Charlie River, ”Mister River, we should go outside and wait, as His Excellency Prime Minister wishes to speak to Young Master Shannon alone.”

Charlie River didn’t speak, and Thomas Shannon spoke first, ”No need, Charlie River is my man.”

Implying that there was no need for Charlie River to be excluded.

The secretary’s smile froze for a moment. He glanced at the Prime Minister, who gave a signal with his eyes. Only then did the secretary smile and say, ”Alright, I’ll head out for now.”

The Prime Minister picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, ”Pardon my asking, did Young Master Shannon have a misunderstanding with Miss Cecilia Branford?”

”My wife has a bad temper and is still sulking with me,” Thomas Shannon picked up the tea cup and played with it in his hand, speaking leisurely.

Wife...

The Prime Minister’s eye color deepened slightly, ”I didn’t know that Young Master Shannon and our Miss Cecilia Branford were already married, congratulations to Young Master Shannon on winning the beauty.”

”Thank you,” Thomas Shannon smiled gently, ”I wonder why His Excellency Prime Minister invited my wife over tonight, is there something concerning?”

”Well...” The Prime Minister hesitated, his gaze on Thomas Shannon, carrying some deep meaning.

Thomas Shannon took another sip of tea, ”Please feel free to speak, Your Excellency Prime Minister.”

”Young Master Shannon mentioned the willingness to make this arms deal with Country F. Now that you’ve become the son-in-law of Country F, I trust Young Master Shannon will also consider Country F’s interests, won’t you?” His Excellency Prime Minister smiled, every word hitting the key point.

Thomas Shannon had previously mentioned that he would consider the deal if he became Sophie Sullivan’s husband.

Now, having become Sophie Sullivan’s husband, this news was great and beneficial for the Prime Minister.

This meant that Thomas Shannon, as a son-in-law of Country F, could not ignore Country F’s demands.

The likelihood of the deal being reached had greatly increased.

Thomas Shannon chuckled softly, his deep eyes betraying no emotion, ”Your Excellency Prime Minister, that is correct, but ultimately, I am a resident of Country A. Besides, I’ve heard some negative news regarding the Prime Minister, so... for now, I am not considering cooperation with Country F.”

The Prime Minister’s smile paused, understanding in his heart what those unfavorable news items were.

Nothing more than Andres.

It was simply because he wanted ~political~ achievements too much.
