Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 5275

Crap!

Cody stood frozen in the room, his forehead beading with sweat as his chest thudded in terror.

Was Ambrose not drinking in the main hall? Why had he returned all of a sudden? If he were to catch Cody, there was no way he would see the light of day again.

Cody was nothing but helpless. He scanned the room in search of Ambrose's belongings for traces of hair after cutting off the baby's lanugo hair, only for Ambrose to return in time.

Creak!

Just as Cody was terrified, the room was pushed open as Ambrose strode in with Heather behind him.

Ambrose's gaze was sharp as a bolt of lightning as it landed on Cody instantly. He stopped short. "Cody Lange? Is that you?"

Ambrose knew Cody as Veron's personal bodyguard back when she had followed Ambrose around persistently; thus, he recognized Cody immediately.

Seeing as there was no way out, Cody forced a pained smile as he greeted Ambrose. "Sect… Sect Master Ambrose."

As he spoke, he could barely hold himself upright from his nervousness.

Ambrose frowned. "What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he looked around him. The man was Veron's personal bodyguard, and he had snuck into Heather's room in the middle of the night. Something was off for sure.

Heather rushed to the crib out of worry for the baby. Seeing as the baby was still sleeping peacefully, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

The next second, Heather returned to her senses as she asked Cody, "What are you doing in my room?"

Well…

Under their questioning, Cody trembled as his lips paled, unable to answer all at once.
