Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 693 - 696: Sophie Sullivan, you better be a well-behaved baby!

"So mysterious?"

Sophie’s curiosity was piqued, her anticipation thoroughly whetted. She quickly agreed, "Okay, I’m hanging up."

Lucifer laughed lowly, his voice as doting as ever, "Go ahead, my dear."

As soon as she hung up, Sophie waited for Lucifer’s video call. Her mobile phone hadn’t rung yet when her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

A tall man, emanating a cold aura, was leaning diagonally against the doorframe. "How much longer are you going to dawdle?"

He had been waiting downstairs for her to come down and have breakfast with him. He waited and waited, but she didn’t appear.

Is she still mad?

Thomas Shannon couldn’t bear it any longer and came straight upstairs to get her.

This was just great. He found her secretly making a phone call.

His eyes darkened, and he strode toward Sophie. Just as her phone started ringing, a dumbfounded Sophie saw an enraged Thomas Shannon walking towards her. Before she could say a word, he snatched her phone away.

Glancing at the caller ID, he sneered, "So, you’re hiding here, pouring out your grievances to Lucifer?"

"Thomas Shannon, give me back my phone!" Sophie stretched out her hand, her expression cold.

The angrier she became, the more Thomas Shannon suspected some indefinable connection between her and Lucifer. Moreover, if he hadn’t come upstairs to look for her, she would probably be talking to Lucifer by now.

"Want your phone back?" The man held her phone, waving it provocatively in front of her. Two cold words escaped his thin lips, "Dream on."

Sophie was furious. She lunged forward to snatch it back, her arm outstretched. "You bastard, give me back my phone!"

"Sophie, it seems you don’t know what’s good for you!" Thomas Shannon held the phone high above his head. No matter how much she jumped or reached, she couldn’t get it.

Thomas Shannon gripped her jaw, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. "Listen," he commanded, "stay away from Lucifer. Don’t let me find you contacting him privately again."

"Maniac!"

Sophie exploded, "What is Lucifer to me? And what are you to me? Even if I stop contacting you, I will never stop contacting Lucifer!"

After a pause, she glared defiantly at his handsome face, now flushed with anger. "Thomas Shannon, you’re the one who’s dreaming!"

「On the other end,」

Lucifer stared at the unanswered video call for a long time, his fine brows furrowed. "Gaby, what do you think happened to Cecilia Branford?"

Gaby’s head was pressed close to his, her huge body almost squeezed into his embrace. Her big eyes were transfixed on the phone in his hand, not relaxing for a moment.

Sighing softly, Lucifer stroked Gaby’s head, comforting her gently. "Alright, it seems it’s fate. Hang in there, Gaby. Once you’ve recovered, I’ll take you to find Cecilia Branford."

As he finished speaking, his gaze darkened. What on earth had happened to Cecilia Branford?

What in the world could have happened to her?

Just a second ago, they had agreed to a video call, but the next moment, her phone went unanswered.

He raised a hand and rubbed his temples. He’d better not find out it was that damn Thomas Shannon who bullied Cecilia Branford!

「In the bedroom,」

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Sophie glared at Thomas Shannon unblinkingly.

Thomas Shannon, not to be outdone, narrowed his eyes, staring coldly back at her. "Sophie, you’d better behave!"

"Thomas Shannon, you’re ridiculous!"

Sophie scoffed, raising her voice. "Why should I behave? Who am I to you? Am I one of the slaves you keep?"
