Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 689: Chapter 692: If you’re still angry, I apologize to you.

Nothing could ever be hidden from him under his very eyes. He lay low, merely waiting for the right opportunity. Now, she has finally dug her own grave... Her death is not far off...

The woman’s weeping and wailing made Thomas Shannon furrow his brows in disgust. He kicked Minimus Hart away; she had been kneeling at his feet, blocking his way.

Minimus Hart’s body flew like a broken kite as she was kicked to the ground.

She struggled to get up, clutching her chest with a pained expression, then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Thomas Shannon coldly retracted his gaze and strode out of the study room.

Charlie River was waiting by the doorway. ”Young Master.”

”Take her away.”

”Young Master, you’re not going to punish her?” Charlie River asked in surprise.

”She still has her uses.” Fennie’s toy can’t be discarded so easily.

Charlie River indicated he understood, then pushed open the door to the study room and dragged Minimus Hart away.

「...」

An uninvited guest arrived at the Zane Family residence tonight.

”Uncle, Auntie, I came to see how Fluffy is doing.”

William Guillen arrived with fresh flowers and gifts. Mrs. Zane was extremely displeased with him in her heart. However, due to the relationship between their two families, she had to greet him with a smile. ”Lan Singh is here, please have a seat.”

Mrs. Zane understood in her heart that it wasn’t William Guillen’s fault. Rejecting her daughter was the best way he could have protected her. He might be a womanizer, but her own daughter was infatuated with him—what could she do? As a mother, what could she do but sigh?

Mr. Zane was drinking tea and waiting for dinner. He gestured for William Guillen to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

William Guillen drank his tea, chatted with Mr. Zane for a bit, and then got to the point. ”Is Fluffy upstairs? I’d like to go see her.”

Knowing he couldn’t stop him, Mr. Zane let him go.

In the bedroom upstairs, Fluffy Zane’s leg was still in a plaister cast. She was struggling to get out of bed, hopping towards the restroom.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

Hearing the knocking, she thought it was a servant coming to call her for dinner and said, ”Come in.”

William Guillen pushed the door open and entered. Seeing her struggling to drag her plaister-casted leg while hopping about, he was both amused and concerned. ”Are you okay? Why didn’t you call a servant to help you?”

He quickly went to her side, took Fluffy Zane’s hand, and helped her towards the restroom.

”Why are you here?” His sudden proximity made Fluffy Zane’s heart race erratically.

To prevent him from noticing her reaction, she could only push him away irritably.

William Guillen assumed she was still angry. ”I came to see you, Fluffy. Your leg injury hasn’t healed yet; don’t push yourself.”

”It’s none of your business!”

Fluffy Zane stubbornly pushed him away again, hopped into the restroom by herself, and shut the door.

William Guillen touched the tip of his nose. Menstrual period?

When Fluffy Zane came out of the restroom, she saw William Guillen still standing in the same spot. She pursed her lips and turned, struggling to walk away.

”Fluffy, how long are you going to keep pushing yourself like this?”

William Guillen sighed. He stepped forward and held her arm, careful to keep a slight distance. ”If you’re still angry, I apologize.”

It was indeed his fault that she’d had the car accident. Recently, he had apologized for everything he should have and done all he could, but she remained cold and distant. William Guillen truly didn’t know what to do about her. Even if he wanted to make amends for his mistake, she had to give him a chance. Her constantly keeping him at arm’s length made him feel utterly helpless.

”William Guillen, what exactly do you mean?”
