Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1608

“Who is this?”

“That’s my mother. She’s home right now. Would you like to meet her?” Jason asked her amiably.

Huh? Isn’t the king’s wife an Epean woman? I remember seeing her on television, so why is he calling this Astorian woman his mother? Vivian thought, bewildered.

Her train of thoughts was interrupted by the click-clack of high heels behind them. The second she heard those sounds, she looked over her shoulder and saw a gorgeous Astorian woman walking toward them gracefully.

“Mother!” Jason ran up to greet her as soon as he saw her.

In the meantime, Vivian stared blankly at her while frozen in place. She felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the woman had dark green pupils, which was an extremely rare trait.

The image of a terrifying creature instantly surfaced in her mind.

Those eyes… They look like that of a snake!

“Did you bring a friend home, Jason?” the woman asked.

Her voice sounded so mellow and charming that it gave Vivian goosebumps all over.

Jason held the woman’s hand to his mouth and gave it a kiss as he replied with a nod, “Yes. She’s the daughter of the Jadesons. Father told me to bring her over for a tour.”

“The daughter of the Jadesons?” The Astorian woman shifted her gaze toward Vivian and scrutinized her from head to toe as she continued, “Are you referring to Mr. Jadeson? The man who approached your father for a business collaboration back then?”

For some reason, her gaze reminded Vivian of a slithering snake, making the latter’s hair stand on end.

“Yes.”

“I see.”

The woman finally broke into a smile before walking over to Vivian.

Reaching out her perfectly manicured hands to hold Vivian’s, she sat her down on the couch next to them.

“This is a rare occasion indeed! Don’t worry. We have a long-standing acquaintance with your father, so feel free to make yourself at home!” she said with a smile, but it only made Vivian tense up even further.

How on earth am I supposed to make myself at home? I’m already feeling uncomfortable from your snake-like cold hands! The last thing I want to do is spend another second in this place!

With that in mind, Vivian forced a smile on her face as she replied, “I am terribly sorry to intrude on you so suddenly like this, ma’am.”
