Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1964

Chapter 1964 It Will Not Hurt Anymore

Rosalie was still unable to say a word despite the quiver of her lips. Ten minutes later, she, with her hair strewn all over the place, was helped out of bed and brought downstairs. There, a heap of ruins was all that was left of the once gloriously-lit Tilan Palace.

There was not a soul nor any lights in sight at all. All that remained were broken pieces of tiles that were shattered by the cannon fire. Given the widespread devastation, she wouldn’t even have recognized the place if not for the familiar cedar tree that was left standing.

In fact, she began to wonder if she had accidentally ended up in the wilderness.

“Ms. Rosalie, why don’t we pack and leave? I have heard that Mrs. Tilan and the others have left for Archulea. If you want to join them, I’ll take you there,” Samson, who was behind her, advised.

In truth, he, too, could have left with them. However, when he saw how the fleeing members of the Tilan family left the unconscious Rosalie to fend for herself, he decided to stay back.

After all, he couldn’t bring himself to leave her after spending a lot of time by her side.

While Samson waited, he was caught by surprise when Rosalie, whose family had just fallen from grace, finally shook her head after standing in the garden for a long period of time.

“I’m not going. You should go by yourself. There’s no need to worry about me.” “But—”

“Samson, I thank you for choosing to stay back with me in the end. As for the past… I apologize for how I treated you. After you leave Southeast Astoria, I’ll give you a sum of money so that you don’t have to work as an assassin anymore. Instead, you should find an ordinary job and live out the rest of your life in peace.”

When he saw that she, who had always been proud and spoilt, could still make such meticulous arrangements for him despite the dire circumstances, Samson stood bewildered.

“W-What about you? What do you plan to do next?” “Me?” Wearing only a night dress, Rosalie looked up at the night sky with puckered lips before breaking into a smile.

“I have not decided yet. Perhaps I’ll just go sightseeing.” “Sightseeing?”

Samson didn’t understand what she meant. What does she want to see?

Obviously, he didn’t dare to inquire further. Since she refused to go, he decided to leave first. Before he did, he left her a car together with some maps and notes.

They contained his detailed plans for her on where she could go. Much to his surprise, she didn’t go anywhere in particular after leaving the island that night.

All she did was visit the places she had always been keen on seeing while she was sick, such as scenic historical cities or the desert that had always intrigued her.

As there were plenty of sites to cover, one year had passed when she was finally done.

It was during that same period that the faraway Jadeson family of Jadeborough finally held the long-awaited engagement banquet.

It was exceptionally lively that day with guests coming from everywhere, including the Hayes family, Solomon’s family, the Wand family, the Minamoto family, and lastly, the extended Jadeson family.

What had surprised everyone was the presence of Master Shin of Aquene Temple.

Given the festive atmosphere at Oceanic Estate, the triplets were filled with joy.

After the banquet, Matteo was leading Natalie to the observation tower to set off fireworks when he received a sudden call.
