Pampered by My Secret Husband

Lucifer let out a barely audible scoff, wondering what kind of qualities that despicable fellow Thomas Shannon had to make her like him.

It was... infuriating.

”What kind of information do you want about him? I’ll let Derek Clark investigate.”

Sophie Sullivan propped her cheek in her hand, thought for a while, ”Every aspect.”

Lucifer: ”...”

A tender index finger poked his handsome face, and Sophie’s beautiful cheek swayed in front of him, ”Lucifer, why aren’t you speaking?”

”Stop it, Miss Cecilia Branford.”

Sophie tilted her head, ”Lucifer, are you angry?”

Lucifer: ”...”

Isn’t that rather obvious?

How could she be so foolish to fancy that despicable fellow Thomas Shannon?

Could it be... confirming that old saying, bad men are what women love?

Is there really no hope for good men?

”Lucifer!” Sophie called out petulantly, and Lucifer finally raised his eyelids to look at her, ”Hmm?”

”Why are you angry?”

”That despicable fellow Thomas Shannon isn’t worth your affection.”

”But I already have a little baby.”

Lucifer furrowed his brows, ”Are you fond of him because of the little baby?”

”Isn’t he the little baby’s daddy?”

No, no, no...

The two are different.

Is it because the little baby’s daddy is him, so she likes him, or is it because she has jointly created a little baby with him that she wants to love him for the sake of providing a complete family for the little baby? These are entirely different concepts.

Seeing Lucifer’s darkened facial color, Sophie was at a loss, so she patted Gabby’s head, and Gabby immediately placed his head on her legs.

With one hand stroking Gabby’s head, Sophie let out a hum, ”It’s alright if you won’t investigate, I’ll send someone myself to investigate.”

After a bout of silence, Lucifer spoke, ”The situation in Country A is somewhat complicated now, sending someone to investigate may not get you the information you seek.”

Sophie snorted coldly.

Lucifer compromised, ”Fine, I’ll have Derek Clark investigate thoroughly from every angle, okay?”

”...”

”Dear, don’t tell me you’re angry with me because of that fellow Thomas Shannon?”

”...”

”My beautiful Miss Cecilia Branford, don’t keep that face, give me a smile.” Lucifer extended his hand to pinch her soft cheek.

Sophie slapped his hand away and glared at him, ”Annoying!”

”Not angry anymore, hmm?” Lucifer cupped her face and rested his forehead against hers, ”My Miss Cecilia Branford is so beautiful, it’s such a pity to keep that expression.”

”Then quickly let Derek Clark investigate.”

”At your service!”

Derek Clark’s investigation took several days.

The fifth day, Derek Clark finally uncovered a tiny bit of information.

”Miss Cecilia Branford, Thomas Shannon has recently been inside the manor, hasn’t stepped out once, and there’s no information about him from the outside world, the operations of K Group remain as usual. It’s Cheryl Chew who has been frequently commuting between the manor and the suburban villa.”

Upon hearing Derek Clark’s report, Sophie’s brow furrowed deeply, ”So, you basically found nothing useful?”

”Yes, Miss Cecilia Branford.”

Thomas Shannon’s manor is as secure as a fortress, not even a mosquito could fly in, let alone plant someone to steal information.

”Aside from Cheryl Chew, who else has entered or exited the manor?”

”There’s also William Guillen, but he only visited once three days ago, aside from that he’s not been seen.”

Sophie couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right, even if she couldn’t quite place it immediately; her intuition told her perhaps something had happened to Thomas Shannon.
