Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1617

Jason had been in that school for a long time but had never seen anyone wear it as perfectly as Vivian.

“Why… What’s wrong? Is this a dress that I shouldn’t wear? Prince Jason, I searched through the costumes for so long, and only this fits me. Is it too valuable? I’ll change into another dress now.” Vivian grew nervous when she realized he was keeping his eyes fastened on her.

She was afraid of angering him again as that would cost her hard-earned opportunity to get close to him.

Therefore, she went back in to search for something else to wear.

Just as she spun around, a hand pulled her back.

It was Jason. Holding her arm, he said, “No, you don’t have to change. This dress is fine.”

Only when she heard his affirmative answer did she breathe a sigh of relief.

After glancing at his hand on her arm, she resisted the urge to pull away and affected a cheerful look. “That’s great to hear! Well, I’m going back to class now, Prince Jason!”

Jason replied in surprise, “You’re going to class wearing this?”

Vivian nodded. “Yes, I still have to attend the lessons. Can’t I wear this to class?”

Again, she widened her bright, clear eyes and gazed at him carefully.

Jason could not say anything for a moment.

His heart skipped a beat as he was mesmerized by her eyes.

“Of course not! Do you want them to tear this dress off you?” he said in an embarrassed tone and averted his eyes.

That caused Vivian to blink.

Oh, right. Why didn’t I think of this? They’re already annoyed with me as I’m attending this school even though I’m an outlander. If they see me wearing their most expensive costume…

At that thought, she shuddered with horror.

“Prince Jason, can… can I go to class with you? I don’t want them to gang up on me…” she sobbed, hugging his arm.

Even then, he still had not loosened his grip on her.

It was impossible to reject an adorable young lady asking for help.

Hence, Jason eventually caved in and brought Vivian to his classroom.

Furthermore, she sat beside him the whole afternoon.

“Prince Jason, your class is too difficult. I can’t understand anything. Can I take a nap?” Halfway through the lessons, the adorable girl started pouting and imploring for his permission to nap.

Jason hesitated for a moment.

Later, he could not remember what he answered her.

All he knew was she was already sleeping soundly with her head resting on her arms by the time he returned to his senses.

However, he was tempted to accept the offer since she mentioned she would be making it herself.

In the end, he answered, “Sure.”

Vivian got into the car happily upon hearing his answer.

After her car drove away, Jason turned around and saw someone waiting for him nearby.

It was Dwayne. “Prince Jason, you seem fond of the new transfer student.”

He had been observing them for the whole day and suppressing his anger for a long time.

Jason’s eyes turned cold when he saw Dwayne. His expression contained a hint of annoyance and disdain toward the unwanted company. Those feelings stemmed from the fact that the latter was not a royalty or nobility, yet his family managed to enroll him in the school through flattery.

“What does this have to do with you?” he asked sternly.

“Of course, it doesn’t. It’s just that you seem to get along with her, so I want to tell you what she likes. Did you forget that I studied in the same school with her before this?” Dwayne answered calmly.

At that, Jason’s gaze became less hostile.

Unbeknownst to him, the young man he disdained took out his smartphone and captured a couple of photos of Vivian’s car just as he retracted his gaze.

It seemed that things would become more complicated from that point onward.
