Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 321

“Does that hurt?”

“Yes… Ouch…”

Sasha lowered her gaze to avoid meeting Sebastian’s. She turned her scarlet face to look elsewhere.

Sensing her discomfort, the man paused his actions.

His piercing gaze darkened ever further as his body rose in temperature.

The pair were more than just familiar with each other, given that they’ve had three children and have spent umpteen times in bed together. His sexual attraction to her was not abnormal.

Sebastian’s force became gentler as he continued to apply the ointment for her.

Then, his unbridled desire compelled his hands to explore other parts of her body.

“W-What are you doing?”

Alarmed, Sasha was quick to respond to his advances and pushed him away without hesitation.

Sebastian stood there dumbfounded.

Immediately, he felt as if a pail of cold water had been splashed on his head. Her instantaneous recoil from his advances was an utter slap in the face for him.

“What do you think I’m doing? I’m applying the ointment for you. Besides, none of what I’m doing is illegal. You’re still my lawfully wedded wife. Is there anything I can’t do to you?”

Displeasure was written all over his charming visage.

This was not the first time she rejected him.

So she was deluding him all this while. She never had the intention to stay by his side.

Sasha’s face immediately drained of color upon sensing his displeasure.

“N-no, that’s not it. Listen to me, Sebastian. I was just… I’m just injured at the moment.”

“Really? Or are you just opposed to the idea of getting into bed with me?”

“I…”

His sharp retort stumped her.

His remark wasn’t entirely wrong. She had told herself time and again that she wouldn’t have any more relations with this man, so there should never be the need for them to commit such acts.

“Sebastian… Listen to me… I… I mean… We haven’t officially annulled our marriage, but it’s still going to happen. That’s why I… I think it’s best for us not to maintain such a relationship. Lest it interferes with… With your life. Right?”

Sasha clutched onto her thin tank top tightly. Her throat was parched while her palms were sweating profusely. The last thing she wanted was to provoke him with her words.

She couldn’t afford to offend him.

In the event he decided to kick her out, she would lose the opportunity to stay by the sides of her children.

The moment she finished her sentence, a suffocating silence permeated the air. The atmosphere was so tense it felt as though the temperature dipped radically.

Oh god. Did I make him angry again?

Sasha began to regret her words. She was about to attempt to placate him when he turned and left the room.
