Chapter 1431 - 1433: I’m Leaving

Now he looked this way, Sophie Sullivan could only think along those lines.

However, according to Liam Donald’s temperament, he shouldn’t make things too difficult for him.

Then why did he look like this, for what reason?

"Fennie, there is an urgent matter at the company that requires my attention. I will be very busy for the foreseeable length of time, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay by your side. You have to listen to the doctor’s advice, take good care of yourself and the child, don’t make me worry, okay?"

The only thing he’s uneasy about is her and the child, as long as she and the child are well, he will be well.

"How busy?" Sophie Sullivan lowered her hand, trying to lift her head from his embrace.

Just as she moved, he pressed the back of her head with one hand, pushing her into his embrace, "Very busy, probably busy enough not to have time to come see you."

Sophie Sullivan wasn’t being coy, she let out a cold hum, "I can come see you just the same."

Thomas Shannon was taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Okay."

He was happy that she was willing to come see him.

But... not allowed.

Let alone that she’s pregnant, even if she wasn’t, Thomas Shannon wouldn’t want her to face even the slightest danger.

He had promised in front of his in-laws’ tombstone that he wouldn’t let her get hurt.

The only thing he could do was to quickly resolve the enmity between him and Lillian Spencer.

Only then could their family of four truly be together.

Sophie Sullivan couldn’t describe what she felt inside, bittersweet and inexplicably disappointed, "When are you leaving?"

"Tonight."

Sophie Sullivan was surprised, so urgent?

"I’ll leave after having dinner with you." Thomas Shannon gently stroked her back with one hand, "Fennie, promise me, you will take good care of yourself and the child."

"Nonsense, of course I will take care of my child, I would do so even without you reminding me."

Sophie Sullivan grunted a few times, this is her baby, her flesh and blood, would she dare be careless?

At the last dinner, Sophie Sullivan ate very slowly.

Thomas Shannon accompanied her, both seemed to intentionally slow down their eating pace, chewing slowly, not hurried or pressed.

However, time always moves forward.

No matter how much reluctance, it cannot withstand the pace of time.

After dinner, Thomas Shannon held Sophie Sullivan’s hand, taking a walk in the flower garden to aid digestion.

Sophie Sullivan felt awkward, "When will you leave?"

Thomas Shannon stopped in his tracks, lightly raising his eyebrow tips, "What, rushing me to leave?"

"If I asked you to leave, would you go?" His skin is so thick, can he be driven away with a few words?

Charlie River came to the flower garden entrance, watching the two from afar, hesitated for a moment, and finally called out: "Young Master..."

Time is almost up.

Thomas Shannon nodded to signal, Sophie Sullivan knew, it was time for him to go.

It’s not the first separation, every time she was so angry with him she thought she never wanted to see him again in this life.

The strange thing is, this time, there was no such thought inside her heart.

Could it be... because of the child in her stomach, her thoughts have become softer?

Sophie Sullivan self-assuredly thought, it must be this way.

It must be because of the child that she became so peculiar.

Thomas Shannon cupped her cheeks, before she could react, he kissed her deeply.

This kiss was extremely passionate.

Releasing her, his thin lips lightly pecked her soft red lips, he whispered, "I’m leaving."

He turned and left.

His steps were heavy, his heart filled with countless reluctance.

The night wind was very cold, Sophie Sullivan stood in the flower garden, the landscape light stretched her shadow long, alone, shrouded in loneliness.
