Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157 Light

In the end, Carlos simply sighed and had someone wheel him away without saying a word.

Just like that, that table became a lot more quiet as no one came over even when the party was about to end.

After the maids had left, Sasha popped out of a corner and ran straight over while holding the hem of her dress up.

“What are you doing, Sebby? Huh? Are you all done eating? Why are you the only one left at the table?”

She reached out to surprise him by covering his eyes from behind, but stopped herself when she saw him sitting at the table full of dishes all by himself.

For some reason, seeing Sebastian glancing at his smartphone while being lost in thought made her heart ache a little.

He arched an eyebrow when he saw her, and his expression that had been cold the whole evening finally turned gentle.

“Yeah, how are things on your end? Everything over?”

“Mhmm!” Sasha’s face sank upon hearing that as she didn’t really have a great time with the maids earlier.

“Sebby, did you know that Mrs. Zander is very close with Mrs. Croll, Mrs. Oveson, and Mrs. Hamilton? They were chatting away happily the whole evening!”

“And?”

“And then I got a little mad! While I wasn’t ignored completely, seeing them like that made me extremely uncomfortable! This is the White House, and they’re there forming cliques!” Sasha pouted as she said that.

Sebastian had hired someone to help doll her up nicely before they came over, and everyone was staring at them for quite some time when they arrived.

But her pretty little face had become so puckered up that Sebastian couldn’t help but chuckle at how ugly she looked.

Oh, man… Look at this silly girl, getting all angry over people like that! What happened to all that big talk before we left the house?

With that in mind, Sebastian gave her a little pinch on the nose and said, “All right, don’t be so angry now. We’re not coming here often, so there’s no need to get so worked up over such trivial matters.”

“But, you…”

“I’m not going to stay here for long either. Once we’ve taken out the trash, we’ll head back to Avenport and never return.”

There was a hint of exhaustion in Sebastian’s bloodshot eyes when he said that.
