Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“Who is this?”

“That's my mother. She's home right now. Would you like to meet her?” Jason asked her amiably.

Huh? Isn't the king's wife an Epean woman? I remember seeing her on television, so why is he calling this Astorian woman his mother? Vivian thought, bewildered.

Her train of thoughts was interrupted by the click-clack of high heels behind them. The second she heard those sounds, she looked over her shoulder and saw a gorgeous Astorian woman walking toward them gracefully.

“Mother!” Jason ran up to greet her as soon as he saw her.

In the meantime, Vivian stared blankly at her while frozen in place. She felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the woman had dark green pupils, which was an extremely rare trait.

The image of a terrifying creature instantly surfaced in her mind.

Those eyes... They look like that of a snake!

“Did you bring a friend home, Jason?” the woman asked.

Her voice sounded so mellow and charming that it gave Vivian goosebumps all over.

Jason held the woman's hand to his mouth and gave it a kiss as he replied with a nod, “Yes. She's the daughter of the Jadesons. Father told me to bring her over for a tour.”
