Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1400

Chapter 1400 Raising Suspicion

“Mommy, wait for me. I’ll come back for the meal,” the boy said to his mother before entering.

Sasha nodded fervently. “All right. I’ll prepare the meal once I’m home, and I’ll be waiting for you to come back and eat.”

She loved seeing her son being so intimate with her as it warmed her heart and made her chest swell with maternal pride.

What she did not notice was that while her son was reminding her to wait for him, the woman standing beside her stiffened.

Even after Ian was brought into the building, her eyes were still fixed in the direction that he had gone in.

“He used to eat at my place.”

“What?”

Leah’s voice was too soft, so Sasha did not hear her clearly.

Yet Sasha’s response snapped Leah back to reality as she quickly schooled her features to a neutral look.

“Nothing.” She chuckled. “I was just commenting about how I never knew he was so attached to his mother. Let’s hurry back now. It’s already noon. I’m sure they’re only taking a brief look at the launcher before coming back out.”

“Oh, okay.”

At that, Sasha panicked.

The two hurried back to the dormitory for the staff at the base. In each unit was a bedroom and a living room, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom. It was comfortable and convenient.

However, what made Sasha frown was that she realized her son did not have a unit of his own in the dormitory.

“This is…”

“Oh right. I forgot to explain this to you. Little Ian was still young when he was brought here, so Ambrose got him to stay with us instead. We have a living room and two bedrooms, so it was a perfect arrangement for us. It’ll be easier for me to take care of him in that way,” Leah explained when she saw the baffled look on Sasha’s face.

Sasha fell silent.

He’s staying with them?

She was a little upset, for Ian was used to solitary moments since young. When she met him, he was five, and he was already living in his own bedroom.

Yet now, he had been arranged to live with the old couple.

Furthermore, he had mysophobia, like his father. When she entered the old couple’s room, she realized that the place was rather messy and dirty.

Will Ian like a place like this?

Sasha’s frown deepened.

Nevertheless, she voiced none of her thoughts. She planned to make lunch and raise the topic when it was the right time.
