Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 597 - 600: I will go back a bit late tonight, you sleep first.

Sophie Sullivan pursed her lips, quietly looking at Lucifer.

The starlight in Lucifer’s eyes gradually dimmed. "Go find him, right?"

Sophie nodded.

Lucifer closed his eyes. "You go. I’ll have Leo take you."

"No need. Charlie River is waiting for me downstairs."

Lucifer’s lips curved slightly. So he had already made preparations, having someone wait for her downstairs.

...

Returning to the manor, Sophie stepped into the castle.

She didn’t see Thomas Shannon but saw Raina Bell and Minimus Hart.

The two stood at the staircase entrance, discussing something. All the servants and maids stood nearby, not one getting close to them.

Sophie’s lips curved, and she walked up.

"Sister Minnie, Sophie is back," Raina, who noticed Sophie first, whispered to Minimus.

Minimus stopped talking immediately and turned her head.

Stopping three steps away from them, Sophie smiled and said, "Why don’t you continue? Don’t mind me; you can keep talking."

"Mind you?" Minimus lowered her voice. "You think too highly of yourself."

"Really?" Sophie gave a cold smile. "Aren’t your actions just slapping your own face?"

If they weren’t wary of her, would they have fallen silent the moment she arrived?

These two were definitely plotting something nefarious again.

Neither Minimus Hart nor Raina Bell was any good.

Minimus was even worse, with her malicious mind and ruthless methods.

It made perfect sense she was the maid leader; one couldn’t secure that position without some cunning and ruthlessness.

No wonder Thomas Shannon valued her so much.

Minimus couldn’t be bothered with her, deliberately raising her volume, "Raina, it’s getting late. Hurry up and find the Young Master. Tell him not to drink too much and make sure he doesn’t get drunk."

Raina wore a shy smile. "Yes, Sister Minnie, I’ll go right away."

Raina glanced at Sophie, that one look filled with a torrent of emotions: provocative, smug, contemptuous.

Sophie frowned, her mind filled with doubts as she headed upstairs, planning to call Thomas Shannon later and ask where he was.

Returning to her bedroom, Sophie immediately took out her mobile phone and called Thomas Shannon.

The phone rang for a long time without being answered.

During the second call, Thomas Shannon finally picked up. The noisy music at his end came through.

"What’s up?" His voice was cold, his words terse. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Thomas Shannon, where are you?"

Sophie walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the vast manor and the brilliant night view.

Even she didn’t realize how terrible her tone was. Anger mixed with a barely discernible questioning tone. As if a wife were checking on her husband.

Thomas Shannon stepped out of a private room, standing in a corridor with a cigarette dangling from his lips. He lit it with a metal lighter he held in one hand. After taking a deep drag, he said, "I’m socializing outside; I’ll be back late tonight. You go to sleep first."

What did he mean, ’you go to sleep first’? Sophie was seething. "I didn’t ask you to come back and sleep with me!"

"Hmm, then why did you call me?"

Thomas Shannon’s expression was grim. She had only just returned to the manor at this late hour, a clear indication of how long she had spent with Lucifer at the hospital.

To say he wasn’t angry would be a lie.

He couldn’t bear to watch his woman spend time with another man, and for a whole day at that!

"Did you ask Raina to go over and accompany you?"

"Yeah."

Yeah? He actually admitted it?

Fury overtook Sophie. She turned, strode a few quick steps, and kicked the sofa. "Thomas Shannon, you bastard!"
