Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 717

Ruby had fallen asleep again after she was done with her meal due to being completely exhausted.

After watching over her for a little while longer, Blaine went to work in his study.

When Old K was done with the interrogation in the hidden cell, he knocked on the door before entering the study. He then reported, “Master Blaine, the two guards said that it was the secretary, Harry Walters, who had branded Miss Softie.”

Harry? The loyal dog that worked for Paul?

A deadly glint flashed across Blaine’s eyes as he said, “Pick a dark, stormy night to invite him over to our hidden cell.”

“Master Blaine, are we going to release him after he’s learned his lesson?”

“Release him back to Paul after we’re done with him. Paul would stop trusting him by then. Since this is Paul’s loyal dog who’s ended up biting people, we should leave him to Paul to punish him.”

Old K nodded and accepted his orders. “Sure.”

Blaine noticed Old K was not planning to leave after he was done with his report, so Blaine asked with raised eyebrows, “Is there anything else?”

“Master Blaine, there’s something I’m not sure if I should tell you or not.”

Blaine pouted his lips, his expression seemingly neutral as he said, “Since you’re not sure if you should tell me something or not, it’d be much better if you don’t.”

Old K was speechless.

Blaine took a glance at him and said, “Fine. Speak.”

It was only after that did Old K speak, “Master Blaine, if Miss Softie is really just a normal woman, don’t you feel odd…that she’d able to hold on for two days of torture in Paul’s dungeon? The main reason Paul would kidnap Miss Softie was because of how suspicious her identity is. She might actually be a spy. Don’t you feel strange about how resilient Miss Softie is?”

Blaine remained silent for a couple of seconds while staring at Old K. His gaze looked empty and he seemed to be thinking about something.

“Master Blaine?”

Blaine looked up and spoke to him, “Of course she isn’t a normal woman. If she was normal, I wouldn’t have brought her home with me.”

“Master Blaine, you mean…”

“Alright already. Softie only has one identity and it’s that she’s mine.”

All Old K could do was shut up as he replied, “Sure.”

After Old K left the study, Blaine remained in the study alone for a really long time.

…

When Blaine returned to the room, he noticed the woman was missing from her bed.

However, the bathroom door was shut while the lights were switched on.

Blaine frowned and realized what the woman was about to do. He stormed into the washroom immediately.

It turned out to be just as he expected…

The woman had already taken her shirt off in the washroom as she sat on the edge of the bathtub. She was using a wet towel to wipe her body down.

Blaine’s expression turned bitter as he strode over and snatched the towel away. He said, “Your injuries have not fully recovered yet. You shouldn’t be in contact with any form of water.”
