Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Aren't they all working their butts off in the cold right now? Why would he say that they haven't made much of the products?

With that in mind, Riley stared at the silverware in his hand and asked, “She's working today, right? Why would the production be so slow?”

“She is, but she messed up quite a few of them. Look at her, and you will see how much clumsier she has become today. I've been scolding her about it earlier!” the man said angrily while picking up a flawed product from the side.

Riley took the product over from him and examined it closely.

Oh, my... He's right. This is supposed to be a pendant with the tribe's symbol on it, but this thing just looks so distorted and disproportionate... How strange...

Sensing that something was amiss, Riley took a closer look at the middle-aged woman in front of her. That was when she noticed something truly shocking.

“Xayden, she—”

Xayden cut her off mid-sentence, “It's normal for people to get a little slow and clumsy on a cold day like this. Come on, Riley, let's go ask the clients for more time.”

He then quickly talked her into leaving the house and dragged her somewhere quiet. He only let go of her arm after making sure that no one was around.

“Why didn't you let me finish, Xayden? That woman was clearly... Well, she just looks abnormal! She had a blank look in her eyes while she was crafting the products! It's like she isn't even paying attention at all!” Riley asked anxiously the moment he released his grip on her.

Xayden nodded, making no attempt to hide it whatsoever.

“Yeah, I know.”

“So, you—”
