Pampered by My Secret Husband

In the end, Sophie Sullivan’s departure was because of these two people.

If it weren’t for Cheryl Chew, if it weren’t for Raina Bell, Sophie Sullivan would not have left.

He wouldn’t have to resort to flying once to Country F just to hold Sophie Sullivan.

Mrs. Shannon was somewhat displeased, ”Lincoln, no matter what, Cheryl is still your sister. Now that she holds a position at A University, do you really want to force a young girl like her to live outside?”

”I can provide her with servants and bodyguards to take care of her daily life and safety. Isn’t that enough?”

Just as Mrs. Shannon was about to say something, Thomas Shannon immediately interjected, seriously threatening, ”Mother, don’t forget who really is your daughter-in-law. Whether or not you’ll have a grandson, it entirely depends on Fennie.”

”Lincoln, are you threatening me?” Mrs. Shannon never expected that a day would come when she would be threatened by her own son.

Thomas Shannon hooked his lips into a smile and gradually shook his head, ”How is this a threat? It’s merely a well-intentioned reminder.”

A reminder?

Hmph, she considered it more of a threat indeed!

Mrs. Shannon stood up, knocking him once on the head, ”Let’s delay discussing this matter for now.”

Thomas Shannon’s brows instantly furrowed, showing displeasure, ”Why?”

”Cheryl has just found her elder sister, and you’re forcing the two of them to move out so soon. What will Cheryl think? What will Raina Bell think?” After all, they are her student’s children; she couldn’t possibly disregard them.

Cheryl grew up under her watch, and Mrs. Shannon is more familiar with her character than anyone.

Compared to Raina Bell’s ability to read the room and sweet talk, Cheryl Chew appeared somewhat inferior in these aspects.

Of course, this owed to her upbringing from a young age.

Her environment shaped her into someone who didn’t need to learn to read the room, nor flatter anyone.

Now that Cheryl Chew has found her biological sister, Raina Bell, Mrs. Shannon is even more worried about handing Cheryl over to Raina, fearing Raina might negatively influence Cheryl.

Only by keeping them under her watch could she feel at ease.

If Cheryl Chew were to move out, Mrs. Shannon might end up following suit...

Thomas Shannon’s facial color turned gloomy, akin to a foreboding storm, as Mrs. Shannon patted his shoulder gently, ”Lincoln, you know I can’t feel at ease with Cheryl... Cheryl is kind-hearted but timid. If she ends up alone with Raina Bell, I’m afraid Raina might lead Cheryl astray.”

”Then just send Raina Bell away; hasn’t she always hoped to heal her legs? Let her go abroad for treatment.” Thomas Shannon’s eyes shone with a cold light, ”Anyway, Raina must leave!”

Even if Cheryl Chew stays, she is nominally his sister.

But if Raina Bell wants to stay, that just can’t happen!

Mrs. Shannon pressed her temples in frustration, closing her eyes, ”Lincoln, let me think it over a bit more.”

”Mother, there are certain matters you might not uncover through investigation. Let me tell you instead.”

Thomas Shannon stood up, moved to the front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, back facing Mrs. Shannon, and lit one cigarette. Smoke rose, enveloping his gloomy yet handsome face, rendering it faintly visible.

It softened the fierce sternness of his facial color slightly.

Mrs. Shannon watched his shadow and heard him speak—

”The things Raina Bell did overtly and covertly at that time are countless. I’ll simply pick two to tell you. Due to her face resembling Cheryl Chew’s, I showed considerable leniency, yet she wasn’t satisfied and harbored unrealistic delusions. Attempting to force herself upon me when I was drunk during socializing.”
