Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1891

Susan was taken aback again.

Monday to Friday? Why have the working days changed? When I applied for the job, didn't it say work would be on the weekends? otherwise, I wouldn't have submitted my resume.

She could not help thinking that it was odd. Nonetheless, since the other party had already stated their requirements, she began doubting herself and wondering whether she had made a mistake. In the end, she had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Ring... Ring...

Just then, her phone started ringing.

Hearing that, she took it out of her bag and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Aunt Susan, where are you? We just got back from fishing, and we caught lots of fish! Come back soon, okay? Kurt says we can cook up some barbecued fish tonight."

The call was from Vivian, and Susan's lips subconsciously curved into a smile when she heard the former's voice.

Although Vivian was oblivious to the point of heartlessness, she was very affectionate toward others, and Susan adored her.

Temporarily casting aside all thoughts about the failed job interview, she hailed a taxi and hurried home.

Indeed, it'll be nice to have a barbecue in this cool spring weather, and it'll be even nicer since we'll be having those freshly-caught fish.

She was about to reach the apartment when she deliberately made a little detour to the supermarket to purchase some vegetables for the barbecue before heading upstairs.

When Vivian opened the door, she was delighted to see Susan. "Aunt Susan, you're back! Kurt has already cleaned and prepped the fish."

Susan grinned as she carried the bags into the apartment, intending to go and help out in the kitchen. But as soon as she stepped inside, her gaze moved past the living room, and she was surprised to see a familiar figure fiddling with the charcoal grill on the balcony.

"He-"

Thinking that Susan was about to say that Ian should not be tending to the grill, Vivian quickly cut in to tell her not to worry about her brother. "Oh, Ian? You don't have to mind him. Let him do some work. He's in charge of the grill tonight. You can go and help Kurt with the fish while I prepare the vegetables."

See, that's the thing. Ian is too lazy. Back when we used to go out and play, we'd always eat ready-made food. This time, I have to make sure he does some work.

Taking the bags of vegetables from Susan, Vivian skipped over to the balcony to keep Ian company.

"I've come to keep you company, Ian. Hurry up with that. I'll prepare the vegetables."

Ian remained silent.

Even from afar, Susan could sense his annoyance.

Nonetheless, she was quite pleased to see him helping out.

Walking into the kitchen, Susan saw Kurt draining the blood from the fish. Taking the fish he had cleaned and prepared, she skillfully sliced them and marinated the fish slices.

"Where did the two of you go today?"
