The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 114

When Phoebe saw this, a look of shock flashed across her eyes and her heart tightened.

Did Tom spend the night here last night?

Was he a fool?

Tom was woken up by the sound of the door opening. He quickly got up. Because he had been in the same position for a long time, his right leg was a little numb, and he staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held the wall in time to not fall down.

"Phoebe, you're awake." Tom said, "Phoebe, you really have to believe me. What happened last night was really a misunderstanding. I admit that I did go to dinner with a female friend last night, but she's a tomboy. I don't know her very well. I ran into her last time I drove to the 4S shop for repairs..."

Tom quickly told Phoebe everything, including how he knew Kaylie. He told her that he had met her last night by chance. It was not his style to stand by while someone was in trouble, so he had touched Kaylie's hair. Apart from that, he and Kaylie barely knew each other.

Phoebe listened to Tom quietly, and she didn't even notice that after she heard it, her agitated and tense mood unwittingly relaxed a lot, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose a little. But she still kept a straight face on purpose and remained aloof. "Did you sleep here last night?"

"Yes."

"Why are you so stupid? It's winter. Aren't you cold?"

Tom scratched his head and said, "It's okay. My skin is thick, so I didn't feel cold."

Seeing him being so silly, Phoebe was not angry at all. But she started to feel a little guilt and regret. Was she too cold-blooded to leave Tom out all night...

"Come in. Take a shower and change into some clothes. I'll prepare breakfast for you." Phoebe opened the door and let Tom in.

Tom didn't dare to go in and asked carefully, "Can I really go in?"

Phoebe grabbed his clothes and pulled him in, deliberately speaking impatiently, "Just come in. Stop talking."

Tom went to take a shower, changed his clothes, and came out to the dining room. He was surprised to see that Phoebe had really made breakfast for him. There was a bowl of hot noodles on the table and he felt he was in a dream.

If he remembered correctly, it was the first time Phoebe had cooked breakfast for him after being married for so long.

At this moment, he was overwhelmed by this special favour.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and eat."

Tom nodded hard and said with a smile, "Honey, you're so good to me."

Phoebe turned around and deliberately ignored him.

"I'm going to work. Stay at home and have a good rest." Phoebe walked to the door and said.

Tom immediately said, "Honey, I'll go to the company with you."

"Why?" Phoebe frowned.

"I have to go to the company with you. You messed up Zack's investment, and now the entire family hate you. If I don't show up, they would swear at you." But Tom didn't say what he was thinking. He just said, "I had a good rest last night. And my company is having a holiday today. I'll take you to work."

"No need." Phoebe rejected him and shook her head, "I can go to work by myself. You do your job."

Tom wolfed down the noodles in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Phoebe, I'll take you there. I said I would protect you."

Phoebe immediately frowned. When she saw Tom's stubborn look, she was angry. Tom said he wanted to protect her, but what did he have to protect her?

She knew very well what was waiting for her at the company. People would stare at her and swear at her.

She didn't want Tom to see this, so she planned to face it alone from the beginning. She even didn't want her parents to see this.
