Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“Who lets you—” Sebastian stopped abruptly.

Indeed, he was furious. He had not gotten much sleep, and it was dawn when he was finally about to doze off. However, he had barely closed his eyes when he heard a knock on the door.

The sight of the woman at his door made him stop mid-sentence.

“Hi, it’s been a while. Oh, did I wake you up? I’m sorry. I came to look for you because… I wanted to ask you, may I take Matteo and Little Ian to the Wand family’s residence today? I… I’m moving in today,” Sasha said nervously, her palms sweaty.

The moment he opened the door and glared at her like he was about to eat her alive, she felt a shiver run down her spine.

Is he angry that I’m here? No, even if he is angry, I can’t back down. I’ve got to persist. Only then will I stand a chance.

Sasha swallowed hard. “Also, I’d like to invite y-you to… join us. Is that okay?”

She put aside her pride, something she had never done before, and looked at him cautiously with wide eyes. She looked like a well-behaved kitten waiting to be petted.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes.

For a split second, he was about to relent.

He had never seen her like that nor heard her try to be nice to him before. As far as he could remember, they were like two prickly hedgehogs and as stubborn as rocks when they were together. They just rubbed each other the wrong way.
