Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 767: Chapter 770: Say it Again

She had brought Gaby all this way, only to be stopped at the hotel entrance. What a wasted trip it would be if they couldn’t even get in!

The Lobby Manager nervously raised his hand, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. ”Miss, I’m truly sorry. It’s not that we’re stopping you, but the law in Country A explicitly states that pets must be taken to a pet hotel and are not allowed in non-pet hotels. Furthermore... private ownership of tigers is also prohibited, so, you see...”

”Say that again.”

Thomas Shannon glared at him, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. His cold eyes, like chips of ice, sent shivers down one’s spine.

The Lobby Manager was drenched in cold sweat and hurriedly begged for mercy, ”Young Master Shannon, I... I didn’t say anything.”

”Can this tiger go in?”

The Lobby Manager, trembling, stepped aside. ”Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Our hotel will enhance security measures to ensure the safety of our guests... Young Master Shannon, please, go ahead.”

The Lobby Manager was the first to step aside, making a welcoming gesture.

The hotel security guards blocking the entrance all moved aside in unison.

Sophie smiled and rubbed Gaby’s head. ”Gaby, let’s go.”

Gaby paused for a moment in front of the Lobby Manager, lifted its head, and let out a fierce roar at him.

The terrified Lobby Manager stumbled backward, his voice trembling uncontrollably. ”Miss... please, please restrain your... pet.”

This is utterly insane!

Keeping a tiger as a pet!

Sophie kindly explained from the side, ”Gaby is just teasing you; it won’t hurt you.”

The Lobby Manager forced a smile that looked worse than crying. ”It’s in such a good mood... even knows how to tease people.”

The group proceeded upstairs in a grand procession.

Outside the hotel, a black Mercedes S600 bulletproof edition was quietly parked some distance away.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing the beautiful profile of a woman in the back seat. Wearing sunglasses, she watched the scene that had just unfolded, her expression unreadable as she instructed her guards, ”You will liaise with the hotel management...”

The restaurant had already been booked out for a private event; the spacious venue held only Lucifer.

He was already seated and had been waiting for quite some time.

Leo had immediately reported to him that Thomas Shannon had also come.

The moment he heard the news, Lucifer’s brow furrowed. An air of displeasure subtly emerged from his perfectly sculpted features, as exquisite as a painting.

Ultimately, he said nothing. Since it was Cecilia Branford’s decision, he was powerless to change anything.

At the restaurant entrance, a swift and agile tiger bounded in.

A smile touched Lucifer’s lips. ”Gaby!”

Gaby pounced on Lucifer, resting its two front paws on his shoulders, its head nuzzling his face with extraordinary affection.

Thomas Shannon, who had just stepped into the restaurant with Sophie, witnessed this scene and felt a distinct sense of displeasure.

It was one thing for Lucifer to be close to Sophie, but for even this meddlesome tiger to be so affectionate with him...

It was truly... infuriating!

While managing Gaby’s enthusiastic affection, Lucifer turned his intense gaze towards Sophie, ”Cecilia, you’re here.”

”We were stopped by security at the hotel entrance, which delayed us a little. Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Sophie sat down, propping her cheek on one hand. ”Gaby missed you terribly. How about I let Gaby stay with you for a few days?”

”All right.” Lucifer lowered his head, rubbing Gaby’s large head with both hands. ”I missed Gaby too.”

Thomas Shannon, his expression cold, sat down beside Sophie. He found himself completely unable to get a word into their conversation.

He felt like an invisible man, completely ignored by the two of them!
