Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 38

“What’s happening? Why am I here? And where are you right now?” Ian questioned impatiently.

“I’m at your house, Ian. We look exactly the same, that’s why everyone blundered! If I’m correct, I think we’re twins,” Matteo said solemnly.

“Twins?” Ian repeated after him.

His two hands gripped the receiver as he tried to make sense of what he just heard.

“Yes, we’re twins. I went to your dad’s office today to look for him because he bullied Mommy. But after I got there, everyone started calling me ‘Ian’. Even your dad got it wrong. That’s why I think we’re twins.”

“Are you sure?” Ian asked again.

“Yeah! Of course! Think about it. I’m sure Mommy and Vivi thought you were Matteo too, right? That means we really look the same! And only twins look the same, isn’t it?” Matteo insisted.

Ian fell into silence.

What he said is right.

But Ian still had his doubts. He craned his neck and looked at Sasha cooking in the kitchen, and recalled having a blast with Vivian, eating all the food he had never tried before.

His face turned sour before he finally spoke again.

“If we’re really twins, why did she abandon me? Daddy even said she died.”

“What?” Matteo blurted out in surprise.

What is he talking about?

Is he talking about Mommy? Is he blaming Mommy right now? And he even said Mommy’s dead!

“Hey! Daddy is a liar! Mommy’s not dead! Mommy also told us Daddy’s dead. But is he?”

Once again, Ian was rendered speechless.

He puffed his cheeks and sulked as he thought about those two annoying adults who had lied.

Meanwhile, Matteo cleared his throat, getting ready to brief Ian about their plan of action.

“Things are complicated between the adults, so we should take whatever they say with a pinch of salt. What we need to do right now is find out why they went their ways. We also have to find out why both of us ended up separated.”
