Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Acting Like a Mistress

”Alright,” William Guillen reluctantly agreed.

He paused, then warned, ”Bay King, stay away from that woman. Don’t let her manipulate you.”

”Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Edward Benson’s words did nothing to dissipate William Guillen’s worries. After much thought, he decided to make a personal trip to Shannons’ Manor.

”Young Master Guillen, our Young Master has already retired for the night. Whatever business you have, please come back tomorrow.” The butler did not know that William Guillen would visit Thomas Shannon so late.

At this moment, Thomas Shannon had already retired.

The butler dared not let him up rashly. If they offended Young Master Shannon, they would be the ones to bear the brunt.

”It’s fine,” William Guillen said, his expression urgent. ”Thomas won’t blame you.”

Leaving those words behind, William Guillen ran upstairs. His agile figure soon disappeared from the butler’s sight.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

”Thomas!”

Without waiting for a response from inside, William Guillen pushed open the door and entered the bedroom.

Thomas Shannon was sipping wine on the sofa. When he saw William Guillen rush in, his handsome brows furrowed. ”What’s the rush?”

”It’s important.” Glancing at Thomas, William sat down beside him.

Pouring himself a glass of wine, William took a small sip to calm his nerves. ”Edward just called me.”

”Hmm?”

William side-eyed him. ”Edward said he couldn’t reach you, so he called me. There’s something important he can’t decide on and wants your opinion.”

Thomas Shannon could roughly guess what it was.

Before he could voice his thoughts, William spoke first, ”Amelia Shaw is with Edward right now. She wants to return to her country, to the Imperial City. What do you think?”

Having learned his lesson, Thomas certainly won’t let that woman, Amelia Shaw, get close to him again, William Guillen thought.

Thomas Shannon’s eyes were cold. A slight, grim curve appeared at the corners of his mouth. ”Back to the Imperial City?”

”Thomas, think about this carefully. Edward is waiting for your answer.”

”If she wants to return, let her.”

William set down his wine glass, his brows knitted tightly. ”Thomas, have you lost your mind? Allowing Amelia Shaw to return to the Imperial City?!”

That woman is like a leech, impossible to shake off. Once she latches onto you, she won’t let go until she’s drained you dry.

Has he forgotten the trouble she caused last time?

”If she wants to return, why not let her?” Thomas Shannon said, his eyebrows lifting slightly, a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Amelia Shaw... she dares to return...

Shaking his head, William thought, He’s beyond help.

Picking up his wine glass, he downed it in one go and got up to leave. ”You tell Edward yourself. I’ll be leaving first.”

Thomas Shannon fiddled with his mobile phone but didn’t call Edward Benson.

「...」

Sophie Sullivan was confined in her bedroom, unable to go anywhere.

This confinement lasted for two days.

She couldn’t help but feel edgy. Had Thomas Shannon found a replacement so quickly?

She used to have the upper hand because her body attracted him. But now, if he had found a substitute, she would be completely pushed aside.

Locked in her bedroom, she was like a pitiful pet with no freedom whatsoever.

As a new day dawned, Sophie approached the door and knocked. ”Open the door, I need to see the Young Master!”

The maid outside sneered and ignored her.

Sophie suppressed the rage roaring in her chest. ”You should know what happens when you make things difficult for me. Open the door now, and I can pretend nothing happened.”

”HA HA, at this point, you still see yourself as the mistress.”
