Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 68: Finally able to leave

"Yes, Young Master."

MEOW.

Sophie was awakened by an annoying meowing sound.

Groggily opening her eyes, she saw Harry’s large, round cat eyes.

Her head shot back, and Sophie patted her chest to calm her racing heart.

"Harry, how did you get in?"

Harry innocently shook his tail, his small claws scratching at the silk quilt twice.

Sophie seemed to have forgotten that this cat had become incredibly cunning and could open the bedroom door by himself.

She sat up and looked around, but didn’t see Thomas Shannon. She picked Harry up by the scruff of his neck, threw back the silk quilt, and got out of bed.

"Young Master?"

The bath chamber was empty, and so was the balcony.

Did he leave again?

Thinking about this possibility, Sophie felt a faint thrill of excitement.

Putting Harry down, she quickly changed her clothes, washed up, and hurried out of the bedroom.

As she came downstairs, she saw the butler directing the servants in their cleaning. Sophie thought for a moment, then proactively picked up a rag and began to wipe the tea table.

The butler glanced at her but said nothing, tacitly approving her action.

After dawdling over the tea table for a while, Sophie stood up and slipped into the kitchen.

"We don’t need you here. Go out."

She had just stepped into the kitchen, ready to help, when the Chief Chef dismissed her with a single sentence.

Sophie wrung the rag. "I’m here to help."

"Not needed."

Sophie casually lied, "The Young Master asked me to help."

At the mention of Thomas Shannon, the Chief Chef’s attitude became noticeably more respectful.

Even though Thomas Shannon himself wasn’t present, the Chief Chef’s respectful expression clearly showed the kind of reverence Thomas Shannon commanded from them.

The Chief Chef reached out to adjust the White High Hat on his head, his expression skeptical. "How come I wasn’t informed?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"The Young Master told me this morning. Were you there too?" Sophie retorted.

Speaking of which, the maniac’s true status remained a mystery.

The Young Master had clearly stated that she was one of the slaves, just like Minimus Hart and the others.

But last time, for the maniac’s sake, the Young Master had severely punished Minimus Hart along with the two maidens.

Undoubtedly, he was trying to establish the maniac’s status.

Not only that, but he had also let the maniac stay in his bedroom, sharing his bed.

This was unprecedented.

The Chief Chef really couldn’t tell if the maniac was lying or not. After all, it was the maniac who shared the Young Master’s bed.

Furthermore, the Young Master had left early that morning; only the maniac knew what he might have said.

After some thought, the Chief Chef agreed to let her stay in the kitchen and help.

A slight smile touched Sophie’s lips. Holding the rag, she watched the maid beside her, mimicking her actions.

After a while, she tentatively asked, "When do you go out to purchase ingredients?"

"Today’s ingredients have already been purchased."

What? So early?!

Sophie was astonished. So, that meant she had no way to leave the castle today?

With the spark of hope in her heart extinguished, Sophie clenched the rag tightly. She could only grit her teeth and wait for tomorrow.

Once the cleaning was done, Sophie quickly left the kitchen.

Seeing Sophie leave, Minimus Hart hesitated for a moment before entering the kitchen.

"What was the maniac doing in here just now?"

The Chief Chef glanced at the newcomer and, returning his focus to his ingredients, said, "She came to help."

"Help?" Minimus Hart scoffed. "The maniac helping? That would be a miracle!"

After some careful questioning, she got the answer she was looking for.

Minimus Hart left the kitchen and glanced towards the upper floor. If I’m not mistaken, she thought, the maniac is planning to escape.
