Chapter 1372 - 1374: Is Brother Shannon Very Busy?

He turned his head, and the smile on his lips was astonishingly captivating: "Cecilia, I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

Sophie was extremely surprised. If she didn’t hear wrong just now, was Liam inviting her?

This... is simply unbelievable!

Sophie held her breath, "Liam, why?"

Why is he acting so unusually towards her all of a sudden?

He wasn’t like this before.

Could it be just because of the concern and insignificant help she provided after the Walton Manor explosion?

"Because you are my fiancée."

"But I..." am already married.

Liam looked at her with a smile, waiting for her response. Sophie remained silent for a long time. Liam appeared thoughtful, then gently said, "I’ll take that as a yes."

With those words, he turned and left.

Sophie tilted her head, looking at the servant, face full of confusion, "Is it that I’m particularly beautiful today?"

The servant covered her mouth and giggled after hearing this, "Miss Cecilia, you are beautiful every day. Don’t forget, you are the No.1 Beauty in Country F. No one can compare to you."

Those were words Sophie loved to hear.

Who doesn’t like to hear words of praise?

Sophie couldn’t avoid the temptation either.

She molded her face, got up, and went upstairs lightly.

...

Country A.

Receiving a call from the maidservant, Thomas Shannon kicked over the tea table in front of him.

His facial color was terrifyingly gloomy, and the storm brewing in those dark eyes was enough to destroy everything.

"Charlie, send someone to keep a close watch on her. Under no circumstances can she meet with Liam."

At the moment, Edward Benson had no news, and although he was stretched thin, it didn’t mean he couldn’t stop her!

Charlie felt the Young Master’s anger and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Young Master, I understand what to do."

Downstairs, Cheryl Chew returned to the manor today to accompany Mrs. Shannon.

Cheryl Chew had prepared the fruit plate, brought it out, glanced around, but didn’t see Thomas Shannon come down.

"Godmother, is Brother Shannon very busy?"

Mrs. Shannon pulled her to sit beside her, "I don’t know what he’s been busy with lately. His temper seems to be getting worse by the day."

"Then I won’t go up and disturb Brother Shannon." Cheryl Chew felt a bit disappointed, as she returned today partly for Thomas Shannon.

She had something to say to him, but if he was busy, then never mind.

In the evening, as it was almost time for dinner, Cheryl Chew suddenly stood up to take her leave, "Godmother, I must go back. My sister is still at the villa waiting for me to have dinner with her."

"Cheryl, are you abandoning your godmother now that you have a sister?" Mrs. Shannon grabbed her hand, slightly aggrieved, "You’ve spent most days of the week with your sister, can’t you spend just this weekend with your godmother?"

"Godmother, I’m sorry..." Cheryl Chew bit her lips, "My sister’s legs have always been her source of insecurity. If I don’t go back to accompany her, she’ll feel lonely..."

Mrs. Shannon sighed almost inaudibly, "Fine, I won’t force you. I’ll have someone..."

The sound of footsteps came from the staircase, and Cheryl Chew looked up to see the cold face of Thomas Shannon.

She timidly called out, "Brother Shannon."

Thomas Shannon’s gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds, then he nodded and turned away.

"Lincoln, are you going out?"

"Mm."

Mrs. Shannon gently pushed Cheryl Chew forward, "Just as Cheryl is going back, you can accompany her."

Thomas Shannon frowned slightly, "She has a driver."

"Lincoln." Mrs. Shannon raised her voice with displeasure.
