Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 360

Roxanne closed in on him. Seeing how cold and indifferent he was toward her, a wave of emotions stirred up within her. Like a crumbling river bank, she could collapse any moment.

“Sebastian, look me in the eyes and tell me the truth.”

“Let go of me. Are you crazy? Why did you come here all the way and make such an awful scene in the middle of the night?”

Enraged, Sebastian swung her arm away and went upstairs.

At that moment, Roxanne knew that her last hope was shattered.

He’s well-aware what I meant when I asked him to look into my eyes. But, he refused to do so. He’s avoiding eye-contact with me. What does that tell me?

Roxanne was up in arms over Sebastian’s attitude. She dashed toward him.

Ring!

It was a very weird bell.

Sebastian stopped in his tracks and started losing his senses.

“You…”

“It’s okay to fail the first time. We can try it again. Come over here, Sebastian, let us forget those unhappy incidents. Be good… Come…”

Holding a bell in her hand, Roxanne was pacifying a towering figure by the stairwell.

Sebastian was stunned as he felt a cold chill down his spine.

Knowing how good she was in the psychological realm, he had been very wary of her.

However, there was nothing he could do about it once she took out her bell. Even her grandfather would not be able to control her.

Gradually, Sebastian’s mind was turning blank.

“No… Roxanne, no…”

“It’s all right, dear. Don’t you want to forget about that woman? Have you forgotten the pain she’s brought you? It took you a long while to walk out of that abyss. Sebastian, you can’t go back into that pit again.”

Right then, Sebastian was holding his head, struggling in agony. Step by step, Roxanne approached him. She stretched out her hand, trying to console him.

Before she could touch him, he flung her away and yelled, “Get lost!”

Roxanne went quiet.

For a second, her arm which was hung mid-air stiffened. The next moment, she saw red and shook the bell even faster.

What an impudent brute!

I’ve been giving my all to grow this relationship for over a decade. I’ve spent so much effort pleasing you. Yet, you did nothing in return and never once appreciated me for who I am!
