Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 55

“Little Ian, how come you have the keys to this car? Mom… I love you to bits!”

She was so excited that she started babbling incoherently. A glance at the rearview mirror showed the housemaid whose face had gone red from anger outside the villa, but Sasha was too far gone to care.

Seated on the front passenger seat, Ian cast a cold glance at her.

This car is mine, okay?

Silly Mommy!

The mother and son duo zoomed out of Frontier Bay in no time, shoving the villa to the back of their minds.

“Little Ian, where should we go next? Do you want some good food? Or do you want me to bring you somewhere to play?”

As the car sped along the road, Sasha’s spirits were lifted considerably, and she started to think about where she could bring her son to have fun since they had already left the villa.

Ian’s eyes finally lit up with excitement.

Indeed, he rarely came out to play. Even going for a simple stroll happened only once in a blue moon.

Every time he went to places frequented by children of his age, everyone would call him a weirdo and laugh at him when they saw how quiet and introverted he was.

Thus, he hated going to preschool and refused to go to crowded places. His father rarely allowed him to go out as well because of his frail body, and whenever he did, he would make sure Ian was escorted by many bodyguards, which Ian found to be a hindrance.

“The amusement park,” he finally said the words at the tip of his tongue after remaining silent throughout the whole ride.

Sasha shot a furtive glance at her son. Upon noticing the bright gleam in his eyes, she readily agreed to his request, “Alright! The amusement park it is! I will make sure you have fun today. I promise!”

Then, she floored the accelerator and headed straight for their destination.

Her curiosity was piqued. Didn’t Ian refuse to go for a walk earlier? I’m sure he knows that there’s gonna be a lot of walking at the amusement park. Then why is he so excited about it?

Sasha decided to use this opportunity to understand her son better.

…

Sebastian only found out about what happened at Frontier Bay when he returned to his office after a meeting.

As soon as he was informed, he slammed the document in his hand onto the table.

“How did my father find out about this?”

“I-I investigated. No one at the villa would’ve dared to speak a word about it, so could it be one of th-the doctors?”

Luke stammered as he trembled slightly.

The moment he was done, Sebastian uttered in a frightening voice, “Did you leave your brain at home today? Do you really think any of the doctors I hired would dare to breathe a word about it? Investigate this at once and find out who leaked it.”

“Yes, yes! Right away!”
