Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1134

Her small face was a mess of tears, and snot was bubbling out of her nose. It was a heartbreaking scene.

Ian’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

Staring at her chubby finger, he spotted a red wound there, and his expression promptly darkened.

“Who did this to you?” he demanded, tugging off his bowtie to wrap it around her finger.

Vivian fell silent.

I’ve never seen Ian so mad! She recoiled in fear.

“Ian—”

“Did the violinists do that to you? This is caused by the violin strings. Am I right?”

Ian was smart enough to deduce that after glancing at his sister’s wound.

Before the girls could brag about that incident to their mother, the air suddenly turned still.

Coming to a stop, they spotted the girl who they scared away earlier.

A young boy about her age with chiseled features tugged her over to them.

“Did you both hurt my sister?” he demanded icily.

Hearing his words, the girls immediately broke into mocking giggles. “Oh, so you ran off because you got hurt. I was wondering why you didn’t continue earlier!”

Their words caused Vivian to duck behind Ian fearfully as tears welled up in her adorable eyes.

The last hint of warmth disappeared from Ian’s eyes.

“Continue with what?”

“Oh, nothing. When she asked to play with us, we told her we’d play with her if she could play our violin. She couldn’t even play the violin but insisted on doing so and ended up cutting her finger!” They burst into loud giggles after explaining what had happened.

Mortified tears rolled down Vivian’s fluffy cheeks.

“Oh, I see. Why don’t we compete, too? I shall play a piece. If you can learn it, I’ll give you this,” an icy voice suggested.

Ian had a smartwatch on his outstretch palm.

“Wow, isn’t that a Qubbly watch? It’s a popular brand overseas. Only a few of us managed to get it in the country.”

“Yes, you’re right!”

Both girls gazed at the watch greedily.

Indeed, the watch was an expensive one.

Thus, they agreed without hesitation. “Sure. What are you going to play?”

Ian cast them a frigid glare. “You don’t have to know. Just play it after I do. But I have a condition—if you fail to play it, you need to receive a punishment!”
