Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1908

Susan peered at Ian a few times with confusion. Why is he suddenly helping me? Did his mother nag at him to help me before she left?

Crack!

A sudden sharp sound cut through the silence.

Susan looked over to Ian and saw that he had snapped the scallions into two parts.

There was a silence that hung in the air for a while before Susan finally broke it.

"You have to do it this way. Come, I'll show you how."

Her fair fingers reached for the scallions in his grasp and patiently showed him how to prepare them.

Ian lowered his head and watched intently.

He was surprised that she didn't chase him out of the kitchen. With the stalk gone from his fingers, he let out a relieved sigh and shifted his gaze to the tiny beads of sweat on the tip of Susan's nose.

Each bead was clear and shiny, like the morning dew bathing under the soft morning sun.

"Okay."

Susan finally finished preparing the scallions and passed them over to Ian.

As she looked up at him, a hint of uneasiness flashed across his face swiftly, and he turned his face to the other side.

Susan didn't comment anything about his weird expression.

After that, none of them spoke until they finished preparing the dishes.

Back in the living room, Vivian finally found out the reason Sigrun didn't come back that night-she had flown back to her country.

"Why so sudden? She just left without even saying goodbye," Vivian complained, upset at Sigrun's rudeness.

Kurt crossed the room over to her, patting her head to comfort her, then tugged her over to the dining table.

"Just ignore her. Let's eat. I'll take you out to have fun later."

"What are we going later?"

Hearing she would be having fun later, Vivian Immediately directed her attention to Kurt.

Kurt gave her a card about the new Esports room that opened nearby. He bought one on his way back.

Vivian beamed with excitement looking at the card.

She gobbled down her dinner and dashed up the stairs to change into something casual, then rushed back down and pulled Kurt out of the house.

"Susan and Ian, do you guys want to come with US?"

Pausing at the door, she didn't forget about the other two in the house.

Vivian remembered her mom's instruction to stop addressing Susan as Aunt Susan.

Ian didn't answer her.

Susan rejected immediately, "I won't be going. I have to take Lotus out for a walk later."
