Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 576: Chapter 579: This is Thomas Shannon’s Pet

Seeing William Guillen appear, Jim Jones subconsciously looked at Fluffy Zane beside him.

Fluffy Zane withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyelids, and gently shook her head. ”I’m fine.”

His phone call tonight... Could he have wanted her to accompany him to the banquet?

Fluffy Zane shook her head. She feared she was getting carried away with her own thoughts again.

”Fluffy, what’s wrong? You don’t look well,” William Guillen’s gentle voice sounded beside her.

Unbeknownst to her, he had already brought his female companion to her side.

His narrow eyes were looking at her with a faint, unreadable smile.

Fluffy Zane nodded slightly. ”What a coincidence, running into you here.”

”Indeed, it is. I didn’t expect to meet you two either.” Especially since she was with Jim Jones.

So her ’appointment’ tonight was with Jim Jones.

To think she’d turn down his invitation for Jim Jones... she really had some nerve.

Fluffy Zane, you’re getting more and more impressive.

”Young Master Guillen, I’m hungry...” The woman on William Guillen’s arm wore a wine-red velvet cheongsam, complemented by exquisite and luxurious jewelry that exuded an air of dignified grace.

Her attire further enhanced her refined temperament.

Her voice was perfectly modulated—not overly sweet or coy, but gentle and soft as she spoke to William Guillen.

William Guillen glanced at her. ”Go get something to eat first. Don’t go hungry.”

The woman smiled shyly. ”Alright.”

”Fluffy...” Jim Jones reminded Fluffy Zane in a low voice; her direct stare was a bit too obvious.

Hearing Jim Jones’s voice, Fluffy Zane finally withdrew her gaze. She took a deep breath, put down her milk, and said to Jim Jones, ”Let’s go mingle.”

”Okay.” Jim Jones glanced at William Guillen, then led Fluffy Zane to greet some of the other guests.

Even after they had walked some distance away, Fluffy Zane could still feel an overly intense gaze fixed on her.

Was it him?

Fluffy Zane didn’t dare to dwell on it; she forced herself not to think about him.

She mustn’t get carried away by wishful thinking again.

”Young Master Guillen, what are you looking at?”

The woman’s question brought William Guillen back to his senses. He casually withdrew his gaze. ”Nothing.”

Seeing the woman still holding a piece of cake and eating, his brows furrowed sharply. ”Stop eating. Come and socialize with me.”

The woman was speechless.

With a wronged expression, she put down the cake and followed him to socialize, looking like a pitiful kitten.

「Medical office.」

After George Stanford’s anesthesia wore off, he slowly woke up.

Sophie Sullivan was stroking Harry’s fur. Upon hearing a weak ”Fiona,” she almost retorted instinctively.

Raising her eyelids, she saw Old Mr. Standford looking terribly unwell and immediately said, ”Old Mr. Standford, are you awake?”

George Stanford nodded. As the anesthesia wore off, an overwhelming wave of pain washed over him.

He groaned in agony, ”Ouch... it hurts so much... What sins did I commit to deserve this...?”

With every word he uttered, Sophie Sullivan felt another pang of guilt and self-reproach.

Finally, Sophie Sullivan held Harry out with both hands. ”Alright, just say it. How do you want me to compensate you?”

”MEOW!” Harry snarled viciously at Old Mr. Standford, baring its teeth.

George Stanford glanced at the bristling cat and groaned through the pain. ”I find that thing an eyesore. Stew it and serve it to me to help my recovery.”

Harry looked utterly bewildered. It turned its head to stare straight at Sophie Sullivan.

Sophie Sullivan snatched Harry back into her embrace with one hand and gave Old Mr. Standford a thumbs-up with the other. ”Old Mr. Standford, you’ve got guts! This is Thomas Shannon’s beloved pet, and you want to eat it?”
