Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1234

Chapter 1234 An Overnight Wait

Sebastian left Aquene Temple that afternoon.

Devin had wanted to accompany him since Sebastian’s condition was far from stable.

Still, his offer was met with a firm refusal.

There were many issues to settle in Jadeborough, chief of which was Silas’ precarious ratings after Eddie’s fiasco. Without a member of the Jadeson family in the White House to show support, it would be challenging to stabilize the political climate in Jadeborough.

Plus, Sebastian needed someone to follow up on Jonathan.

Devin eventually agreed to stay behind.

“Uncle Shin, I’ll be heading off then.”

Unlike Sebastian, Devin had no qualms about calling the old monk his uncle after uncovering his true identity.

To his surprise, Shin seemed reluctant to accept his address.

“Mr. Jadeson, I am now Master Abner, and I hope that you will continue to address me as such in the future.”

Devin stared blankly at the old monk, not knowing what to say.

His sadness at Shin’s request was palpable, and Sabrina tugged on his sleeve the moment she noticed his forlorn expression.

She said, “If he doesn’t want you to call him Shin, you should respect his wishes. He’s never once gone by another identity, not even with Sebastian, so why would he acknowledge his relationship with you?”

Edmund chimed in, “She’s right.”

In the end, Devin could only leave the temple with Edmund, Sabrina, and his daughter in tow.

With Sebastian gone, Devin and Sabrina were the only Jadesons left in Jadeborough. After departing Aquene Temple, Devin went straight to their newly-recovered Oceanic Estate instead of Red Pavilion.

The couple had Edmund over for dinner at Oceanic Estate that night. The latter was digging in happily as Devin placed the dishes on the table and asked, “Ed, what are your plans?”

He had posed this question as a friend and classmate. Now that the situation had stabilized, Devin wanted to know if Edmund had any particular requests.

If he plans to assume a position in the government, I’ll make it happen, even if he’s some lazy, notorious bachelor.

To his pleasant surprise, Edmund seemed to fall into deep thought at his question.

A couple of minutes later, he asked, “What do you think I should do?”

“You’re asking for my opinion?” Devin chuckled before continuing, “Of course, I’d like you to stay here and help me. I’m going to need all the help I can get. Plus, you aren’t too shabby yourself. Our plan would never have succeeded without you, and I’d love for us to continue working together in the future.”
