My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 567

Sophia pressed the doorbell a few times before the door swung open automatically. Pushing through the main gate, she entered Linus’ front yard. The French windows were dark and bleak as if no one was home. But after taking a couple of steps, the house lit up and Linus came out of his workroom.

He opened the door to let her in.

“Sophia, what brings you here?”

She looked at him still dressed in his work attire and guessed, “You’re still working at this hour?”

When he saw the injuries on her lips and neck, he inquired, “What happened to you?”

Without hesitating, she answered, “I went out for a night run and slipped because the ground was too slippery.”

Linus casted a quizzical glance at her but did not press further. He did not know about the bad blood between her and Phantom Wolf. He assumed that Phantom Wolf had gotten attacked by Nicholas’ silver needles when he was trying to harm the Fletchers.

Sophia stated her purpose for coming, “I noticed that Nicholas has an additional defense feature now that comes with a gun. The silver needles inside of it seem quite good. Can you give me the link from where you purchased them from? I want to stock up for Nicholas.”

He took a look at Nicholas and figured that Sophia had already found out about the properties of the silver needles. “That item can’t be listed on the market legally, but I still have a lot left. I’ll give you a dozen.”

She quickly interjected, “No, no. How much are they? I’ll buy them from you.”

She felt bad enough to ask him for things. Those were all valuable and high-tech products!

Linus did not refuse either. “Okay, I will issue an invoice to you in a bit.”

This time, Sophia felt at ease leaving Nicholas with Linus to get the ammunition replenished.

Before he brought Nicholas down to his workroom, Linus said to Sophia, “Have a seat. I will go and get the items from my workroom.”

Because his workroom could contain some undisclosed and confidential things, she knew better than to follow him downstairs. Instead, she sat in the living room and waited.

The pets in his house came running out to see her. When she was leaning against the soft sofa, a Dragon Li cat came over and cozied up in her arms. The purring sound of the cat was slowly making her sleepy.

When Linus brought Nicholas down to the basement, Phantom Wolf had already disappeared. He probably went to rest, he thought.

Linus proceeded to disassemble Nicholas’ exterior and check his defense system. As it turned out, Fass had personally upgraded him and gave him an incredibly fast response time.

Additionally, the backdoor Linus hid in the system had been closed permanently. If he wanted to open the back door, his only option was to reinstall a new system. At this point, however, there was nothing more he wanted to gain out of it.

This was a warning from Fass. Linus was not going to be reckless and defy him.

Fass knew about all the deals he made in the dark but did not ever stand in his way. Since he was stopping him now, he was not going to step out of line either.

He still did not have a way to duplicate the silver needles that Fass installed in Nicholas, so he put in another set of silver needles with the same specifications and similar results.

After finding more silver needles in his inventory, he packed them all up and gave them to Nicholas to take home so Sophia could replenish them for him.

Suddenly, he remembered the injuries on her face and neck. He took out some fast-working paste medicine for treating wounds from his first-aid kit and put everything into the little compartment in Nicholas’ stomach. There was some space in there to store a few small items.

The person Phantom Wolf attacked was Sophia! Not Nate!
