Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 286

She’s actually threatening me with her life?

The man rushed there overnight, and at that moment, he felt so sorrowful that it imprinted into his very bones. Then, he hovered over that woman. His dark brown eyes carried no warmth and the menacing danger was the only thing those eyes exuded.

“You are so adamant about leaving me now. Have you forgotten how you went all out and tried to court me in the past?”

Sasha couldn’t speak.

Her entire body trembled, and her pretty face paled even more.

She remembered that all too well.

That was why she hated herself at that moment. If she could turn back time, she would never have acted that way.

Anger and humiliation maxed out in Sasha’s heart. Her eyes glowed with pain and regret when she replied, “How could I forget that, Sebastian Hayes? For you, I abandoned everything, including the Wand family, the Blackwood family, and myself. Are you reminding me of that past because you want to know why I insist on torturing myself over and over again?”

Sebastian didn’t know what to say.

He was stunned and immediately wanted to say that wasn’t what he meant.

Unfortunately, the woman in front of him suddenly developed a surprising strength. She pushed him away.

“It’s good that you’re here today. We can take this opportunity to clear the air. From now on, Sebastian Hayes, we are nothing but strangers. I will ask my lawyer to send you the divorce papers, so you can leave now.”

Sasha was especially mean and cruel when she said that last sentence.

This woman… she no longer fears me, and she does not panic anymore. Her tone is even as she spoke, and her eyes glow like she is an entirely different person.

Sebastian’s expression suddenly became downright terrifying.

The only reason it took him that long to reach her was because he wanted to give her some time to think. Everybody makes stupid mistakes when they act impulsively. That is why I am willing to wait and give her some time.

What Sebastian never anticipated was that even after waiting patiently for a few days, she still said something that cruel.

Am I really that unforgivable? Even if the matter with Xenia is just a misunderstanding? Am I guilty even though I had nothing to do with what my father did?

Sebastian was utterly disappointed. His face had a grouchy expression on, and it was almost visibly turning paler. It was clear that his suppressed emotions were acting up and threatening to break free.

“Are you still hung up on the incident involving Xenia? If so, let me share something with you. I have investigated the matter, and my father is innocent!”

“None of that is important, Sebastian. I am tired. I no longer want to have anything to do with the Hayes, and my only wish is that I can build the Wand family back up. My dad will be out soon.”

“What about the kids? Do you not want to have anything to do with them anymore as well?”

Sasha hesitated. It seemed she had gathered a lot of courage when she closed her eyes, and her pale lips said, “No, I don’t. They’re all yours now.”

The aura in the room froze over.

How disappointed and tired did a person have to be to say something like that?

The man started breaking down.

He had always been the one to determine others’ fate and could do whatever he wanted. However, at that moment, hearing those words… it felt like something was slipping out of his control, and it frightened him to his core.
