Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 290

“Huh?” blurted Brandon as his beautiful eyes instantly bulged. He asked, “You’re going to go pick the guy up? W-what are you planning to do?”

“I want to meet him and see if he is worthy of rebuilding and being a successor to the Wand family’s legacy.”

The man, who had regained his composure, left Brandon with a simple answer.

Naturally, Brandon wouldn’t keep asking after hearing what Sebastian said.

This cousin of mine might be an idiot sometimes, but he is rather good at judging a person.

Sasha waited for three long hours before she met her cousin.

She was infuriated when she did.

“What the hell, Brandon? Why did it take you so long to go pick him up? I thought that something had happened, and I got so worried!”

Brandon’s scalp went tingly.

He saw how angry she was and knew that there was no other way out, so he confessed, “I ran into Sebastian. That assh*le actually managed to track us all the way here. You don’t have to worry, though. He left, and I never told him that you are here.”

Sasha was speechless.

She stared at the man in front of her and was at a total loss of words.

That scum found me ages ago and even spent the night torturing me. Is Brandon really so innocent that he actually thinks his shutting up would p*prevent Sebastian from locating me?

Sasha simply didn’t know how to respond to that.

The two of them were at an impasse when Lance walked over timidly and asked, “Uh, Sha, where should I put my luggage?”

“Oh, that? Just hand it over to Willow. That reminds me. You must be hungry now. We’ve already made lunch, so I’ll get it for you now, okay?”

Hearing her cousin call out to her made Sasha sniffle a little. Her attention was shifted to her cousin right away.

The tall young man was still innocent because he hadn’t worked or set foot in the corporate world yet. How did he behave?

Well, he was obedient and listened to Sasha. As requested, he went to wash his hands before having his lunch.

Willow praised the guy when she saw how he acted. She commented, “He’s a good kid.”

That got Sasha even happier.

Her uncle was actually on pretty good terms with her immediate family. Sasha remembered how when she was still living in her family home, he used to drop by to help them out a lot.

Sasha didn’t go back to her own place that night.

She worried that she would see Sebastian there again and end up being badgered for the entire night. Hence, she used her cousin as an excuse and shamelessly stayed the night at Willow’s place.

What Sasha didn’t realize, however, was that no one was actually staying in her place that night.
