Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1883

Upon hearing that, Ian fell into silence.

Ian's face was flushed with embarrassment and panic. In fact, he looked like he had done something shameful, and he had nothing to say to defend himself. Susan then saw Ian running back into the apartment.

Right then, disappointment crushed Susan like a boulder.

She had no idea how to describe what she was feeling at that precise moment, but if being on Ian's back was heaven, then what she had just encountered had made her feel like she was in hell.

She had never felt so devastated before in her life.

"Susan, what you did tonight was brilliant, but did you see that? You've lost. He actually cares about these things. Although you keep saying there's nothing going on between the both of you, I don't think he's on the same page as you.” Sigrun stared at her and added salt to her wound.

Hearing that, Susan felt even worse.

That night, she had no idea how she returned home, nor did she know how the night went by. All she could remember was that when the sun came up, she was still sitting in her chair and staring blankly at the window. Back then, he wasn't the slightest bit bothered. On the other hand, it was me. I was scared, and I had backed away. That was what caused US to separate in the first place. After that, Ian decided to forget all about it. Why does he care again now that I'm back? Is this karma? Is this what I get for being a coward back then?

Susan couldn't help but shiver when those thoughts ran through her mind.

"Aunt Susan, are you up yet? We're going to have breakfast before going to class." Vivian knocked on her door worriedly when she didn't see Susan coming out of her room.

Only then did Susan jolt to her senses after being in a daze all night long. "Vivi, I have something to deal with today, so I'll attend class later. You guys should just go ahead."

"A-AII right..." With that, Vivian left.

Half an hour later, Susan finally got up from her chair after everyone had left the apartment. She then dragged herself into the restroom like a mindless zombie.

What am I supposed to do? I wouldn't have a chance if he had already blocked off his memory and built a barrier between US because of our familial ties.

As she washed her face with cold water, she finally knew the pain Ian felt when she said those words to him back then.

Susan headed out after that. Instead of going to her university, she went to the embassy.

"Ms. Limmer, you’re here! I'm sorry, but I only found out you're studying here after receiving a phone call from the White House yesterday. Please look through the accommodation and transportation we've arranged for you and let US know If you're happy with the arrangements."

It turned out that the embassy had specially arranged accommodation and a car for her right after receiving a phone call from the White House.
