Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1396

Chapter 1396 You Must Be Overthinking

It was a piece of shrimp roll.

As Wendy trembled in horror, Xayden took the shrimp roll to run tests on them. Uneasiness surged in Wendy’s heart as they waited for the results together.

Karl couldn’t hide his shock.

What’s going on? Why did Mr. Hayes ask Xayden to run tests on that shrimp roll?

That night, everyone had a sleepless night.

The next morning, everyone swiveled their heads to stare at Xayden when he showed up.

“So? Is there something wrong with the shrimp roll, Xayden?”

“Yes, Xayden. Tell us about the results,” Wendy urged.

To everyone’s surprise, Xayden shook his head, seemingly confused by the results, too.

“The shrimp roll is fine. I ran a few tests but only got these.” He offered a piece of handwritten paper full of data.

Karl grabbed the paper from him at once.

“XX percent of protein, XX calories, vitamin… Damn it, Xayden! What the heck is this? Who told you to analyze this?” he demanded.

“Isn’t that what Mr. Hayes wants? Mr. Ian is refusing to eat, so he wants to find out the nutrient content, right?” the young man retorted.

His tone was devoid of any guilt or shame.

Both Karl and Wendy were rendered speechless.

They stared at Xayden without a word for some time.

The three of them were in a stalemate at the door when Sebastian and Ian came down the stairs.

After getting a good night’s sleep with his father, Ian seemed more energized this morning and was back to his usual self.

“Daddy, where are Vivi, Mommy, and Matt? Are they all right at home?”

“Yes, they are fine. They miss you a lot, though. Do you want to come home with me?”

He had made that decision to bring his son home after considering for a long time last night.

Alas, the boy merely widened his eyes and replied, “No, I won’t leave. I haven’t finished my research. Mr. Pence and the others are developing a spacecraft. I added a microchip inside so it can sense foreign signals in space. I can’t go home now.”

Sebastian couldn’t believe he had just been rejected by his son.

Fine. He’s a genius, after all.
