Pampered by My Secret Husband

”Cecilia, that’s a long story...”

Sophie Sullivan pinched his arm, ”Then make the long story short.”

”Your despicable behavior was simply too much to be written down in any book. You lost your memory, so of course you don’t remember how you forced Liam Donald to become your fiance before.”

Lucifer propped his head up with one hand and sank into his memories. ”You and Liam Donald were learning the string musical instrument under the same teacher. Liam Donald was quiet and withdrawn, while you were so noisy it gave the teacher a headache. You being noisy was one thing, but you even had to tease Liam Donald. Liam Donald was used to being silent; how could he possibly bother to respond to you?”

At this point, Lucifer turned his head and cast a faint glance at Sophie Sullivan. ”Cecilia Branford is the No.1 Beauty in Country F, and your face is inherently attractive. Probably it was because Liam Donald’s attitude toward you was different from that of other boys, so it caught your attention and...your desire to conquer.”

Sophie Sullivan: ”...”

Was she really...that aggressive before?

”You liked messing with Liam Donald more and more, loved teasing him even more, but Liam Donald still treated you lukewarm at best, you could even say indifferent. With him like that, it only fueled your interest in him. Later, your birthday wish was to make Liam Donald your fiance, you wanted to see him every day.”

Hearing that, Sophie Sullivan’s brain instantly staged a drama of an evil girl forcibly snatching a good boy from a decent household...

Sitting across from her, Thomas Shannon scratched Harry’s chin with one hand and let out a scornful cold laugh. The way his eyes looked at her was so sharp it made her want to sink through the floor.

Sophie Sullivan cleared her throat lightly. ”Lucifer, go on.”

”Your daddy found out and went to talk to Liam Donald’s daddy. The two parents discussed it, and decided a powerful alliance through marriage was a great idea, so they agreed. After that, you two held an engagement ceremony, and Liam Donald became your fiance.”

Speaking of this, Lucifer was still secretly unwilling.

But at that time, even though he was unwilling, he still smiled and gave his blessings.

He knew his body wasn’t good, so he even more hoped that there could be someone she genuinely liked by Cecilia Branford’s side to care for her, to accompany her through the rest of her life.

So those years, he stayed by Sophie Sullivan’s side, helping her chase Liam Donald, giving her ideas and strategies.

She really did like Liam Donald, but Liam Donald toward her...was always cold and distant.

Even after he had already become Cecilia Branford’s fiance, he didn’t show any happiness or anger at all.

Sophie Sullivan tugged at his sleeve twice. ”And then?”

”And then...” Lucifer’s eye color dimmed. And then she used every trick she had to pursue Liam Donald.

Lucifer didn’t want to talk about those.

Sophie Sullivan tilted her head, her beautiful eyes hazy with curiosity. ”Lucifer, and then?”

”And then there are your embarrassing stories about chasing Liam Donald. Do you want to hear them?” Lucifer teased her.

Embarrassing stories?

Sophie Sullivan withdrew her gaze and looked coolly at the clouds outside the porthole. ”Then forget it.”

She had no interest in listening to her own black history...

What Lucifer was saying was something Thomas Shannon had long ago found out.

Back then, in the documents he investigated, the things about Sophie Sullivan and Liam Donald were far from just this.

How much she liked her fiance, he knew crystal clear.

To say he wasn’t jealous would be a lie, to say he wasn’t soaked in vinegar would also be a lie.

If only he could have met her earlier, what business would there have been for Liam Donald?

Sophie Sullivan was weighed down with thoughts, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Thomas Shannon’s darkened facial color. He seemed to be angry.

No, not seemed—he was really angry.

What, hearing about her and her fiance made him mad?
