Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover chapter 1152

“Actually, that won’t be necessary because he’s not going to kill me for real. At the end of the day, I’m his only son.”

“What the hell? Are you kidding me? Weren’t you the one who told me you had to run away from your father? Was it just a joke?” Sabrina went berserk and shouted.

She wasn’t the one making a scene for nothing because she had gone to great lengths to procure the aid of his brother to ensure he was safe when they weren’t even related.

It was merely one of her attempts to return him the favor of saving her when her life was at stake. It was a challenge for someone who had never requested others’ aid on someone else’s behalf.

What if Devin finds out I’m trying to help a man shortly after he’s dead? Is he going to blame me for being disloyal? Maybe he’s going to deem me unworthy of him!

As emotions came flooding out, Sabrina couldn’t resist the urge to weep and ended up with a pair of welled-up eyes.

Edmund was well aware he had to make something up to deceive the heartbroken woman. Once he snapped out of bewilderment, he explained, “I didn’t lie, but—”

“What?”

“If I run away with you, my father’s going to pick on your brother!”

He brought up something reasonable and stopped her from making a scene. It worked like a charm and rendered her speechless.

She just couldn’t bring herself to expose her brother to uncertainties. In the end, she returned to her room and banged the door shut, leaving the men in the living room alone.

“You know she’s merely trying to do you a favor, don’t you?”

“I’m well aware of that.”

Edmund finally returned to his usual self. He glanced at Sabrina’s room and served Karl a glass of water.
