Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 44

Ian fell silent.

He was not unfamiliar with Xandra and had always known her to be a two-faced phony who would put up a show in his father’s presence. But he didn’t tell on her as he didn’t want to stir up trouble.

As for Daddy, his temperament is the worst. The way he treated Mommy on that boat was just mean!

With that thought, Ian agreed that the two of them should swap back to their original identities. After hanging up the phone, Ian did as Matteo told him and tricked his sister into buying him some food downstairs. He then left the rental apartment and took a cab back to Frontier Bay.

After a few minutes, Ian successfully sneaked into his bedroom in Royal Court One without anyone noticing. This was the first time the twins met each other in person since their births.

“Whoa! We really do look exactly like each other!” exclaimed Matteo as he finally saw his twin brother in the flesh for the first time.

Ian was also amazed at their resemblance to each other. But before he could respond, his small body was already embraced tightly by his passionate twin brother.

Ian was rendered speechless momentarily as there was an unfamiliar but warm sensation spreading from his little chest.

“Alright, I’ve got to go now. Mommy should be back soon,” Matteo explained. He was worried that the longer he lingered, the more likely someone might walk in on them.

Being the more emotional one, Ian replied with a discernible sadness in his voice, “But… will we meet again? And will Mommy come over again?”

After learning what had happened today from Matteo, Ian was afraid that he would no longer be able to see his mother.

Matteo patted his brother’s shoulder while speaking in a comforting voice, “Don’t you worry. Mommy loves you so much, so she’ll certainly come back to visit you. But you have to remember. When she comes back here, you have to protect her from bad Daddy, okay?”

Feeling reassured, Ian nodded and said, “Certainly!”

On that note, the twins’ brief encounter ended.

As soon as Matteo left the room, Sebastian came up from downstairs. He was still fuming over the fact that Ian threw a big tantrum at him after Sasha had left. For the first time in his life, his son told him that he hated him and never wanted to see him anymore.

Since then, the little boy had locked himself inside his bedroom upstairs.

As Sebastian stood outside his son’s bedroom, he furrowed his brows and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. “Ian, it’s Daddy. Can you open the door, please? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Instead of opening the door for his father, Ian grabbed onto his pillow and sprinted toward his bed.

He was still mad at Sebastian. If what Matteo said was true, he has really gone overboard for bullying Mommy because of Xandra.

Ian buried his head into his pillow.
