Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 54

Lacey frowned and took the man's hand in both of hers. 

Her eyes were piercing as she glared at the man, signaling him to stop moving! 

......

However, Sam lifted a faint smile, seemingly unfazed by her worries. 

With only a little effort, he then managed to turn the table and grabbed her hand instead.

Why was she so desperate to hide?

Who could she possibly be afraid of?

Was it Lillianna?

Well, that wasn't quite possible. She wasn't the least bit afraid of Lillianna.

Which meant it could only be Theo!

She was afraid that he'd get jealous seeing them like this!

She was worried that he would misunderstand her!

The more Sam thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.

His left hand gripped both of hers tightly while his right hand tenderly stroked her back. 

Lacey tensed up all of a sudden. 

What was this man doing? 

"Is this the nursery?" Lillianna entered and took a glance around. 

"Why is it so small?" After all, the Garrison house had numerous rooms, each relatively spacious. 

Why was it necessary to make the nursery room so small? 

"In large rooms, children often feel nervous. We liked small rooms when we were kids as it gave us a sense of security!" Marlon casually replied.

Lillianna nodded in approval. The corners of her lips rose. 

This would be her child's future room— 

Her baby— 

The smile on her face grew. She could already imagine a miniature version of Sam cuddling up to her and calling her mum.

"Let's go." Theo was in no mood to stay, as the person he sought was not around.

Lillianna, on the other hand, insisted on staying a little longer. "Let's take a look around," she said calmly.

The more she looked at the room, the more she liked it. 

Then, she sat down on the bed.

"It's a nice bed." Lillianna propped her hands on the edge of the bed, rocking her legs as she did so.

Meanwhile, Lacey, who was hiding underneath, was annoyed by the sight of Lillianna's swaying legs.

Why hadn't she left yet?

"Hiss—" Lacey suddenly took a deep breath, then pursed her lips hastily. She glanced at Sam in disbelief. 

Did he just touch her earlobe? 

No way! That was her most sensitive part! 

Every single one of her pores opened up at this very moment. 

Lacey's face flushed, but she had to control herself not to make a sound. It made her feel very uncomfortable. 

What made her even madder was the look on Sam's face.

He had cunning written all over his face! 

Indeed, she couldn't go out at this moment. 

After all, she was still Theo's girlfriend by name. 

Lacey wouldn't explain herself if she were spotted underneath the bed!

Though their relationship was fake, there were other people around. 

In any case, if word got out, it would be devastating for her. 

Even so— 

The man in front of her was far too cunning! 

"Show me what you've got." 

Sam gestured the word with his mouth. 

Lacey remained silent but gazed fixedly at him with her deep, never-ending eyes, eyes that could send shivers down one's spine. 

Sam had a feeling something terrible was about to happen. But before he could react, Lacey had pounced on him! 

Later, his chin was mercilessly bitten.

Lacey was never someone to be trifled with. 

If anyone ever provoked her, she would return the favor twice! 

......

Sam frowned slightly due to the pain in his chin. 

But only for a brief moment. 

Apparently, his skin was thick enough that the bite wasn't so bad as to make him scream. 

Of course, Lacey was fully aware of this. 

If this man had managed to reach his current position, he must have been through many hardships. 

Sure, he could tolerate such minor pain. 

Still—

Not all things were endurable for men.

For instance—

Sam's pupils dilated just then. Miscalculation and astonishment rose in his eyes. 

Never in his entire life had he imagined she would be so bold— 

Lacey let go of his chin. Eyebrows raised, she tightened her grip on him. 

Hiss!

Sam drew a deep breath. 

What a ruthless person she was! 

"Do you still want to play?" Lacey gestured the word with her mouth. 

In fact, she'd bitten his chin on purpose. She wanted to withdraw her hand while he was distracted. 

Though they both expressed the gesture with their mouths, the only difference was that Lacey's eyes shone with a starburst, as bright and dazzling as a star in a night. 

Having seen that, Sam remained motionless but staring at her.

The twins shared the same face, and yet, why did he find Lacey's more interesting?

"If you don't go, I'll go. I'm still looking for Lacey." Theo frowned, sounding anxious. Then, he headed for the door.

"Wait for me!" Lillianna hurried to her feet and followed suit. 

"I told you there's no one here," Marlon, who had been on the side the entire time, mumbled. 

Following that, he made up the bed on which Lillianna had just sat. 

Once everything settled, he closed the door and left.

"Swoosh!"

Lacey crawled up from under the bed as soon as the door shut.

She rose to her feet and brushed the dust off her shirt. 

"This is the first time I've ever hidden underneath a bed—" Sam crawled out from under the bed as well. He raised a weak smile.

It would certainly be embarrassing if word of this got out. 

Lacey paused brushing her shirt after hearing what he said. With a mischievous smile, she turned to face Sam. "You first time, huh?" 

Sam knew this girl was up to no good when he spotted her eyes looking around. 

Sure enough, he was right. 

"That'll be one million dollars." She held out her hand. "Give me the money, and I'll keep it a secret." 

Sam couldn't help but chuckle. "That cheap?"
