Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1825

After having breakfast together, the trio was about to leave home when Zaylynn showed up with her parents, who had personally brought her there to express her gratitude.

“Thank you, Susan, Ian, and Timothy. I'm beyond grateful for everything you've done for me. If it weren't for you guys, I probably would've been...”

“We owe you big time! You're the Neal family's saviors. As Zaylynn's parents, we thank you!”

Both Feynman and his wife, Clara, bowed and thanked them profusely with tears in their eyes.

The two young men were at a loss, given that they had never dealt with such a situation before. Thus, it was Susan who spoke up and quickly told them to lift their heads.

“Don't say that, Mr. and Mrs. Neal! Zaylynn is our friend. It's only natural that we help her in times of trouble.”

“She's right. You don't have to thank us. Besides, there's no way Piggy here could've actually killed anyone!” Timothy blurted.

Silence washed over the entire apartment as a scarlet-faced Zaylynn glared at the young man who had just addressed her in such a way.

“Hey, Timothy... What did you just call me?”

“S-Sorry, my bad... Hey, don't come over. I didn't mean it...”

A squabble soon ensued between the two, and Timothy ended up being chased into his own room and hiding in there.

Susan was deeply embarrassed by what had just happened.

She wanted to chastise her brother for his lack of manners and apologize to Zaylynn's parents.

But unbeknown to her, Feynman and Clara seemed unusually pleased after exchanging glances with one another.

The Jadeson family was untouchable—so much that they would have never imagined their daughter being friends with Ian.

But this other guy isn't bad either. He's part of the Jadesons too. He may be from a different branch, but it seems that the current head of the clan regards him highly. That's good enough for us.

Zaylynn's parents left in high spirits, but not before extending a personal invitation.

“By the way, Mr. Ian and Ms. Susan, as a token of our appreciation, will you please accept our invitation to come and have dinner at our place? Don't worry for we mean nothing by it. We just want to treat you to a meal.”

Just as Ian was about to reject their offer, Susan suddenly recalled his mother asking her to take him to more social events, and so she stopped him.

“Okay. Thank you for the invitation.”

“Not at all! In fact, we're thankful to have you come over.” Feynman was instantly overjoyed.

Thus, the matter was settled.

After their guests had left, Susan sent Zaylynn a text message, reminding her of the help that had been given by her other friends.

Zaylynn: Don't worry, Susan. I'll invite all of them over. I know who my true friends are after what happened. Anyone who's helped me for the past two days will have dinner at my place!

Susan: Okay.

Zaylynn: But my dad says you'll have to bring your brother too. Oh, but please warn him that he can't call me Piggy if he does come!

Susan didn't know how to respond.
