"So, tell me, what exactly happened in the restaurant today?"Minimus Hart was still curious about this.
For Raina Bell to cause such a major conflict between the Young Master and the maniac, her influence must be greater than she’d imagined.
"It was nothing serious. The Young Master was feeding the maniac breakfast, and she deliberately knocked over the milk, soiling the Young Master’s pants. I wanted to wipe them for him, but the maniac made things difficult for me."
Raina Bell continued, "Later, it was the Young Master who helped me."
"You’re saying the Young Master himself helped you out?"
Raina Bell blushed and nodded.
Minimus Hart laughed. "Good, very good. I knew I didn’t misjudge you, haha..."
Raina Bell, feeling somewhat embarrassed by the praise, said firmly, "Sister Minnie, don’t worry, I’ll continue to work hard."
"No." Minimus Hart’s smile vanished abruptly. "Don’t be too obvious when targeting the maniac, or it will arouse the Young Master’s suspicion. Just maintain the current situation and don’t actively seek trouble."
"...Yes." Although Raina Bell didn’t understand why, she still had to obey Minimus Hart.
「Nightfall.」
The butler knocked on the bedroom door. "Maniac, dinner is ready. Please come downstairs to eat."
"I’m not eating."
The butler tried to persuade her a few more times from outside the door. Receiving no further response from the bedroom, he gave up and left.
At 7:05 p.m., the black Lincoln fleet sped into the manor.
The convoy stopped in front of the fountain. Charlie River alighted first and respectfully opened the rear car door. "Young Master, if you please."
The handsome man, his thin lips pursed, exited the car. He strode meteorically towards the stairs, returning to the ancient castle.
"Welcome home, Young Master."
The maids and maidservants bowed in unison.
As Thomas Shannon headed for the restaurant, he asked while walking, "Where’s the maniac?"
"Young Master, she is in her bedroom. She said she doesn’t want dinner."
She doesn’t want to eat?
Thomas Shannon paused, then changed direction and went upstairs.
Inside the bedroom, Sophie Sullivan lay on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, appearing to be asleep.
The air conditioning was turned up high. She had kicked off the thin quilt, one slender hand resting on her stomach, her sleeping posture quiet and graceful. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
Thomas Shannon approached the bedside and sat down. The mattress dipped slightly. He raised his hand and caressed Sophie’s face. "Maniac, wake up."
Sophie didn’t make a sound.
She had only closed her eyes and feigned sleep when she heard footsteps in the corridor.
She didn’t want to see Thomas Shannon, so she decided to feign sleep—out of sight, out of mind.
It would also save her the trouble of having to talk to him.
Her eyelashes trembled faintly when his hand touched her smooth cheek.
A faint smile played on Thomas Shannon’s lips. Still pretending to sleep?
"Maniac, wake up. It’s time for dinner."
Sophie still gave no response, as if she were deeply asleep and hadn’t heard him at all.
With her eyes closed, her hearing and other senses became particularly acute.
Hearing nothing, she wondered with some confusion what Thomas Shannon was doing.
Isn’t he leaving yet?
