Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 491 - 493

Sophie Sullivan couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right...

She was starting to regret it.

She wondered if it had really been necessary to agree to his request just then if she had just waited a little longer.

After all, he had drunk more water than she had, and sooner or later, he would have to go to the restroom...

The sun set in the west, its last hint of orange light disappearing over the horizon. The group found a gentle sand dune to rest on for the night.

The men in black set up the tents and started preparing dinner for the evening.

Sophie Sullivan sat in the tent, her elbows propped on her knees, her chin resting in her hands. This was probably her first time spending the night in the desert since she could remember.

The burning bonfire drove away the darkness.

Thomas Shannon sat by the fire with the men in black, roasting tonight’s dinner.

The enticing aroma of roasted meat filled the air, awakening the hunger in Sophie Sullivan’s stomach.

She got up, exited the tent, and approached Thomas Shannon, her gaze fixed on the sizzling, greasy lamb leg.

Thomas Shannon turned his head, the corner of his mouth hooking up into a smile. "Just a little longer, it’ll be ready soon."

"Is meat all we’re having for dinner?"

"Here you go." Thomas Shannon handed the roasted lamb leg to a nearby guard, then stood up and took a pack of self-heating food for military expeditions from the food rack.

"There’s rice here, do you want some?"

Sophie Sullivan nodded. "Yes."

Thomas Shannon smiled. His long arm wrapped around her slender waist, and he leaned down to lightly peck her red lips twice. "I need to collect some interest first."

"Don’t, there are so many people watching..."

"Don’t worry, they won’t mind."

Sophie Sullivan was left speechless. But she minded!

Thomas Shannon carefully sliced the delicious roasted lamb leg into small pieces and handed them to her.

Sophie Sullivan didn’t refuse; having been tired all day, she was genuinely hungry.

Her appetite was greater than ever before.

The men in black had split into two groups: one eating, the other on watch.

She had always known that Thomas Shannon’s identity was special, and that there were probably many people who wanted him dead.

So, she was already used to such a large entourage whenever they went out.

Sitting on the ground, Sophie Sullivan leaned on Thomas Shannon’s shoulder. After dinner, she felt completely satisfied.

Thomas Shannon took out two cans of beer, opened one, and handed it to her. "Want some?"

Sophie Sullivan reached for the beer, bumped her can with his, and took a sip.

In the desert, without light pollution, the night sky was exceptionally beautiful. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The twinkling starry sky was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Thomas Shannon..." Sophie Sullivan gazed at the star-studded sky while drinking her beer, a touch of emotion welling up inside her.

"Hm?"

Thomas Shannon also lifted his head, gazing up at the starry sky.

He couldn’t recall how long it had been since he’d last had such a leisurely moment to look up at the starry sky.

Such an experience, in his memory, was truly rare.

He could count such instances on one hand.

Firstly, he wasn’t an emotional person.

Secondly, there had never been a woman worthy of him doing such romantic, albeit somewhat childish, things for.

He hadn’t expected that he would now be sitting shoulder to shoulder with Sophie Sullivan, together looking up at the same brilliant starry sky.

This feeling was indescribably subtle.

It was as if he and she now shared some kind of inseparable bond.

It felt a bit mysterious, yet also carried a hint of thrilling excitement that made one secretly joyful.

Sophie Sullivan squeezed the can, chuckling. "Are you sure we’re here for an adventure and not camping?"

With the roasted lamb leg and the bonfire, it really did feel like a special camping experience.

Thomas Shannon took a couple of sips of beer.
