Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 154

Sasha took several moments to compose herself. She turned to address Sebastian through bloodshot eyes. “What have you done with my kids? You monster, return them to me.”

Her children were her life. Without them, life wasn’t worth living. Even in her current state, all she cared about was their wellbeing.

Sebastian brought a chair next to her and sat down comfortably, propping his legs up on her bed.

“Sasha, let us establish some ground rules. First of all, the kids are mine as well as yours. Secondly, if I really intended for you not to meet them, you will never be able to, make no mistake.”

She settled down. Eyes remained fixed upon him with distaste and distrust, she nevertheless allowed him to continue.

Fear, hopelessness, and grief flashed in her eyes. In spite of herself, she was trembling, with tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

She was at a loss.

Sebastian was disturbed at the effect he produced.

Before he could stop himself, he blurted, “I’m just saying. Don’t cry, I still haven’t decided what I will do.”

Sasha felt a trace of hope at that. Perhaps her children were not completely lost to her.

She felt completely powerless. To go against him would be akin to an ant struggling in vain to be stomped on.

Sasha regained her composure.

“So… what will you do?” She clutched her sheets tightly.

“I just want to talk to you, Sasha. Why can’t we coexist in peace?” Sebastian said, finally revealed his motive for waiting for her all morning. “The responsibility to raise our children is ours to share. Why can’t we do it together?”

All this time, they have been fighting each other like cats and dogs, in the name of the children.

Watching one’s parents fight like that is not something a child deserves. Is the fighting worth it if it deals irreparable damage to them? Shouldn’t they reflect on it and be ashamed of their behavior?

Sebastian observed her thoughtfully.

After letting his guard down and displaying vulnerability, Sasha’s jeering response was not what he expected.

“Coexist? Sebastian, are you toying with me?”
