Chapter 3352 Eavesdropping
Sophian was also shaken by the events of the day.
If Luke had not returned just in time, she did not know how long the fight between the two would have lasted. As Sophian thought about Luke, admiration showed in her eyes. Her heart fluttered at the thought of him, making her lose focus and become careless with what she was doing.
"Ouch! Are you trying to kill me?" Allison winced as she clutched her face. Her hand instinctively shot up.
Sophian came back to her senses and quickly moved away. "Sorry, Madam Allison, I'm so sorry!"
Allison's slap did not land, but her anger was evident. "What are you doing? Are you trying to hurt me?"
"No, Madam Allison, I was just lost in thought and didn't pay attention..." Sophian stammered, terrified of Allison's strength.
Allison's strength was immense! If Sophian took a slap from her, it would probably hurt for days.
What worried her most was that Luke would see it, and it would ruin the impression he had of her.
Allison noticed the lingering tenderness in Sophian's eyes, which made her feel very annoyed. "Look at you. Treating my wounds while still thinking about men?"
"Madam Allison, what you did earlier really upset Mr. Crawford. I was just thinking about what I could do to calm him down." Sophian lowered her voice. "You broke so many things today. If he holds it against you, you won't be able to afford to pay for them. Maybe you should apologize to him later?"
Allison looked at the half-empty display shelf and suddenly felt guilty. Although the items were not as valuable as antiques, they were high-end. She knew Luke would never tolerate fakes in the house. Just how much did she just destroy?
Regret filled her as she recalled what she had done. "Why didn't you stop me earlier?"
"I did try..." Sophian felt helpless but kept the part about failing to stop her to herself.
Allison, now feeling the weight of her impulsiveness, was irritated. She had broken so many things earlier just to make Luke see her emotions and her frustration.
However, he remained indifferent to her actions. Her mood only worsened, leading to more extreme behavior.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Allison clenched her fists tightly at the thought of this. Allison, now calmer, regretted her actions but still refused to give in to Luke.
"Madam Allison, you were indeed impulsive today." Sophian finished cleaning the last two scratches and took a step back.
She was just stating the truth, but she was worried that Allison might slap her in return.
Allison glared at her. "What do you mean, 'impulsive? If he had just defended me in front of Susan, would I have done all this?"
Sophian dared not speak.
It was true that Luke had not defended Allison.
However, what Allison did was outrageous. Sophian dared not to say it to her, so she just stood silently, listening to her complain.
"I'm going to lose all my reputation and dignity. That bitch, Susan, must be thrilled. How am I ever going to face anyone again?" Just the thought of Susan's smug face made Allison want to tear her apart.
What frustrated her even more was the fact that she would have to keep dealing with Susan. Now that Susan knew that Luke would not help Allison, she was definitely gloating over it!
Seeing Allison's face turn red with anger, there was nothing Sophian could do. She could only step forward and try to comfort her, "Madam Allison, it's over now. Don't dwell on it. I'll make sure not to let her in again, so just try to calm down."
Allison let out a cold snort. "My face hurts so much. Can you do something about it?"
"Madam Allison, you have wounds on your face right now. You can't use skincare products yet. If they get into the wounds, it could slow healing. You'll need to wait until the skin scabs over before using anything," explained Sophian.
"What?" Allison felt like she had been struck by lightning. "Are you saying I won't be able to take care of my skin for the next few days? Does that mean my skin's going to be ruined?"
When she had her surgery in Seoul, she could not use any skincare for days, and her skin became dry and itchy. She had to tie her hands at night to stop herself from scratching.
Ever since her skin had gotten worse, her wounds took much longer to heal than others.
The thought of not being able to take care of her skin for several days only made Allison more irritable. Sophian tried to calm her down for a long time, finally negotiating with her to avoid the wounds while applying skincare. Only then did Allison stop throwing a tantrum.
Once Allison went upstairs to rest, Sophian thought about heading to the maid's room for a break.
However, when she saw the mess on the table and realized no one else would be helping clean up, she decided against resting and continued tidying up. After much effort, she finally finished cleaning and glanced at the time. It was almost 11:00 pm.
She stared at the stairs for a moment, then decided to head upstairs.
Everyone in the house, except for her, must be asleep by now...
As she thought of Luke, she made her way up the stairs.
She had already toured the house earlier, so she knew where his bedroom was.
She stood at the door of the master bedroom, looked at the tightly shut door, and hesitated for a moment before pressing her ear against it, hoping to catch some sounds from inside.
Sophian knew this was not the right thing to do.
However, she could not control her emotions. Even if she would hear the sounds of their intimacy, she still wanted to listen. Just listening would make her jealous, but she could also imagine that the woman with him was her.
She did not hear any sounds at first, so she pressed her ear even closer.
Just as she did, the door across from her suddenly opened, and she froze.
"What are you doing?" Luke's cold voice cut through the silence.
Sophian felt a chill run down her spine. She slowly turned around and saw his dark, stern face just as he spoke. She could not help but hold her breath. It was partly out of fear and partly because she was captivated by his face.
Sophian replied, "I came to find you. I just wanted to listen to see if there was any noise inside. If I didn't hear anything, I wouldn't bother you."
A flash of mockery crossed Luke's eyes. "What if there was noise inside?"
Sophian was startled for a moment.
"What would you do, then?" asked Luke.
Sophian's face turned red. "Well, I wouldn't disturb you..."
"So?" pressed Luke.
Sophian realized she had trapped herself in her own words.
She felt embarrassed and flustered. She nervously twisted her fingers together. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
The door to the master bedroom opened from the inside, and Luca looked out at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "What's going on?"
Luke's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as he said, "Mind your own business. Don't come upstairs at night unless it's necessary."
"Yes, sir." Sophian's voice trembled. She sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Luke's voice turned stern, as though he was ready to punch her the next second.
Sophian quickly left, sobbing softly.
Luca stood behind the door with an amused look. She crossed her arms over her chest as she watched Luke. Luke's expression softened a little as he walked quickly into the master bedroom and closed the door.
"What happened? Did she knock on your door?" asked Luca.
"Not exactly." Luke shook his head. "She was eavesdropping, thinking I was in the master bedroom. She was listening from outside."
Luca stuck out her tongue in surprise. She did not expect Sophian to do something like that. However, she remembered that Sophian had once knocked on Luke's bedroom door, and it all clicked.
