Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 139

Did… did I hear that right?

Did he just say ‘you too’?

She could not believe her ears, but she was sure that she was not dreaming.

By the time she found her bearings again, the man had already turned around with a slight grimace on his face.

She watched as he walked up the stairs in silence.

She trembled as something deep within her chest split open and started oozing a thick liquid onto her insides.

Why can’t I get this right?

She rushed back into her room and buried herself in her sheets as her heart thumped against her chest.

I’ll tell him about Vivian tomorrow, I guess…

The next day…

Vivian was the first to wake up amongst the three kids because of her excitement.

Still clad in her pink bunny pajamas, she waddled out of her room with her messy bed hair to look for Sasha.

Wait… where’s Mommy?

She rubbed her eyes as she stood before the tightly closed door to her mother’s bedroom.

Creak… creak…

Suddenly, someone descended the stairs, and Vivian whipped around to see who it was.

It’s Daddy!

She stood rooted to the ground while gripping her mermaid plushie tightly.

Sebastian watched her closely in silence.

He had an early meeting that day, and he was not expecting to see a little girl blocking his way so early in the morning.

He glanced at her again and noticed how there was still a hint of fear in her eyes, though she did not flinch away when he came close.
