Mysterious Little Wife novel Chapter 58

Sam was taken aback by Sophia's sudden entrance. 

In all his years, he had rarely seen Sophia manage to get up before he went to work.

"It's only been five minutes!" Sophia looked at Lacey, anxiously. 

Lacey lifted a gentle smile. "Yes, I know!" 

Rolling her eyes, Sophia sat down hastily and gasped for air. 

Lillianna frowned slightly at sight. Immediately, she sat down next to Sophia and asked, "Sophia, why are you up so early?"

 "You're here?" Sophia turned around to face Lillianna. She seemed to be out of breath. 

"What's the matter? You don't seem to have slept well." Lillianna asked with concern, "Do you feel sick anywhere?" 

Sophia remained silent, but glared at Lacey. 

This was all her fault!

"Ms. Garrison, what would you like to eat?" Uncle Caleb hurried over and asked. 

"A sandwich would be enough," Sophia answered. 

"Okay. Mr. Garrison, what about you?" Caleb went on to ask.

"Okay. Mr. Garrison, what about you?" Caleb went on to ask. When Sam glanced at Theo's dumplings, he thought they were piercing. 

"I'll take anything as long as it's not dumplings," he said." Well, I'll have them ready for you in a minute." With that said, Caleb turned to Lillianna and Lacey. "And what would you like for breakfast, ladies?" he gently inquired. 

"Uncle Caleb, it's fine. I've already eaten." Lillianna gave a pleasant smile. 

"Uncle Caleb, I appreciate it. I'm full as well. There's no need to prepare anything." Lacey smiled and politely declined the offer.

Uncle Caleb nodded and walked straight into the kitchen.

"Lacey, haven't you eaten anything? How can you be full?" Theo frowned, stunned for a moment. 

Lacey cocked her head and rested her chin on her hand. "I'm filled just by looking at your handsome face," she replied, a faint smile on her face.

Such flirtatious behavior came out of nowhere. 

Sam's hand, which was holding the coffee, paused in mid-air. 

Lillianna frowned. She stared at Lacey in bewilderment. 

Did Lacey just tease Theo in front of everyone? 

"Pa!" Sophia stood up after slamming the table hard. She clenched her teeth and grumbled, "I'm not hungry anymore. Lacey, we're going to school!" 

"Okay." Lacey rose to her feet and smiled sweetly at Sophia. 

The latter looked at the smile and had the urge to tear her face off. 

But because Theo was around, she didn't dare to snap out of it. 

Sophia had no choice but to hold back her anger and walk towards the door. 

"Enjoy your food, Theo. I'm going to school!" Lacey flashed a dazzling smile and turned to catch up with Sophia.

"Hehehe—"

Theo's expression shifted from shock to a return to sanity. Eventually, he cackled as he ate the dumplings. 

"Wait for me, Lacey! I'll give you a lift!" Theo rushed out. 

Meanwhile, Sam remained silent throughout. A moment passed, and his cold voice rang out. "Don't you need to go to school as well?" 

Lillianna, who was seated next to him, jumped to attention and quickly said, "Well, okay, I'll go to school now then. I'll give you a call later." 

 Following that, she walked timidly to the door. 

Sam never looked up. 

But a closer look would reveal a thick layer of frost covering his attractive face.

"Why don't I accompany you to school, Lacey? I don't have anything to do at home anyway," Theo was about to climb to the back of the car. 

"Mr. Henderson, you don't have to. My driver has gone back. I will accompany them to school," said Lillianna as she walked over.

Theo frowned. "That isn't a problem. You, get down. I'll drive instead." 

Certainly, the driver didn't dare refuse. He exited the vehicle immediately.

"Lacey, come sit next to me." Theo grinned as he climbed into the driver's seat. 

"Ouch, I feel dizzy. Lacey, you don't mind if I sit in front of you, do you?" Sophia said anxiously, holding her hand. 

How could Lacey not know what she was up to?

"Of course!" Still, she gave in anyway. 

At that, Sophia's mood instantly cheered up.

"Lilliann, come here. Don't you miss your sister dearly? You two have a good chat." Sophia insisted as she pushed open the car door and sat in the passenger seat. 

Lillianna leaned closer with a smile.

"Let's go." Theo was bummed that Lacey wasn't sitting next to him.

Still, it didn't seem that bad as long as she was in the same car. 

"Did you have a good night's sleep last night?" Lillianna asked, looking at Lacey and smiling. 

Lacey knew immediately that her smile was fake, but she wasn't about to reveal it. "Very well. Sophia's bed is very soft and much more comfortable than the hard stone bed I have at home." 

Lillianna's face froze. She continued with a gentle smile, " You find the bed at home hard? I'll go back and tell Daddy to get you a softer one." 

"Thanks, Lillianna." Lacey raised an eyebrow. 

Then she looked out the window. 

It was obvious she didn't want to play along with her.

Meanwhile, Sophia attempted to chat with Theo in front of the car for some time. 

She would occasionally exaggerate her smile to the point of losing her image. 

Lacey had her eyes stared outside the window behind the back seat. No one knew what was on her mind.

"Lacey, are you coming back tonight?" Lillianna asked all of a sudden. 

Lacey frowned. She looked at her sideways and asked with a sarcastic smile, "Whose idea was it?"
