Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 394: Chapter 396: If worst comes to worst... we’ll perish together!

As though she wanted to expel all the turbid air from her lungs.

She drew deep breaths over and over, forcefully exhaling each time, her chest rising and falling dramatically.

Obviously, she had been quite frightened.

Thomas Shannon held Harry, who had already calmed down. Now out of danger, Harry obediently stayed in his master’s embrace.

”Are you okay?” Thomas Shannon’s cold eyes, clear as a spring, were focused on her, their brilliant depths filled with tranquility as he watched her.

Sophie Sullivan lifted her eyelids and glared at him. Was he blind? Couldn’t he see whether she was okay or not? How could he not see the horror she had just been through? And this culprit had the nerve to ask if she was okay! Unbelievable!

”Speak,” Thomas Shannon said softly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

”What do you want me to say?” Sophie Sullivan stood up, her breathing beginning to stabilize.

She looked at Thomas Shannon with chilly eyes. All her dissatisfaction and displeasure were clearly displayed on her face.

Sweat trickled down her smooth, bright forehead, soaking her hair and plastering it to her face. She looked utterly wretched.

Thomas Shannon, for some reason, wanted to tease her. ”What do you think you can say now? Are you going to confess why you were acting like a maniac today, or do you want to become the black bear’s dinner?”

Shameless! Was he still threatening her?

Sophie Sullivan’s lips tightened into a thin line, two clusters of flames burning in her gaze. She glared at him, sparks and bolts of electricity seeming to flash in her eyes.

If looks could kill, Thomas Shannon would have been torn to pieces by her glare long ago.

”I’ll give you thirty seconds to think it over.” Thomas Shannon lowered his head and gently stroked Harry’s furry head.

Harry let out a contented MEOW, yawning lazily.

Sophie Sullivan closed her eyes and glanced at the forest, now completely swallowed by darkness. The fiery clouds in the sky, however spectacular and beautiful, were entirely blocked by the thick leaves of the forest.

At this moment, not a single speck of light could penetrate through.

Sophie Sullivan nodded, her teeth gritted. ”Thomas Shannon, you forced me into this.”

As soon as her words fell, with all her strength, she rushed toward him.

”MEOW!”

Harry let out a WAIL and quickly jumped out of Thomas Shannon’s embrace.

Sophie Sullivan had now reached Thomas Shannon. Charlie River and the man in black simultaneously drew their pistols, their muzzles aimed at Sophie. ”Maniac, halt!”

Thomas Shannon chuckled lightly and raised his hand. ”Put your guns down.”

”Thomas Shannon, you’re quite confident.” Sophie Sullivan laughed. Did he think she wouldn’t dare to touch him? How naive!

Sophie Sullivan reached him and successfully grabbed his neck with both hands.

She narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip. ”Thomas Shannon, I won’t let you threaten me! At worst... we both die together!”

Charlie River furrowed his brows worriedly. ”Young Master!”

Thomas Shannon remained calm, waving his hand to signal him not to act rashly.

The man lowered his gaze to Sophie, whose eyes were brimming with fierce determination. The smile at the corners of his mouth gradually faded. ”Let go.”

The cold words slipped from his sexy, thin lips.

Sophie sneered. ”Thomas Shannon, weren’t you enjoying threatening me just now? What, are you scared now?”

She intended to make him realize that even a cornered rabbit can bite, and she was certainly no mere rabbit! He shouldn’t push people too far! When people are pushed to their limits, they’re capable of anything. Just like her, right now. Even if it meant dying alongside him, she wouldn’t hesitate!
