Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 566

Sebastian was riveted by the commotion.

Medal?

He had never seen something like that.

Nevertheless, he knew that a token like that was significant to a family with a military background.

Medals like that were allegedly only presented to those who managed to accomplish magnificent feats. In addition, the possession of such medals would elevate the family’s standing.

They might as well be considered as distinguished members of royalty.

Alas, the Jadesons’ second son may have ruined it all for them.

Sebastian also could not fathom Devin’s uncle’s choices. “But why did he do that? A medal is symbolic of your family’s esteemed prestige. Were he and your grandfather at odds?”

Instead of outrightly berating his uncle, Sebastian chose to pose his questions from a neutral standpoint.

Maybe it was because of his own upbringing.

After all, he himself had gone against Frederick’s wishes many a time in his youth.

Devin nodded in response to his question. “I think he wasn’t fond of having his life set out for him. As the family’s heir, from a military background at that, there were many matters that were forced upon him. For instance, his marriage and his job.”

“If that was the case, that I think his rebellion wasn’t unorthodox. Although, I have to agree that he shouldn’t have destroyed your family’s medal.”

“Yeah. That’s precisely why my grandpa was fuming mad. According to what I heard, the state was so displeased that they issued my grandpa a harsh warning and recorded the incident as a major offense. My grandpa was so incensed that he didn’t even bother to take a look at him when my uncle passed on.”

As Devin lamented the Jadesons’ tragic past, the atmosphere was somber.

In actual fact, Shin’s name was still forbidden in the Jadesons’ household.

They had high hopes for Shin, yet he forsook the Jadesons for a woman and resulted in the humiliation of their family name in Jadeborough. They absolutely detested him.

He was supposed to be the elite of their family, but that woman ruined it all for him.

It was impossible for them to ever forgive him or accept him as a Jadeson once more.

At his friend’s reply, Sebastian heaved a heavy sigh.

“Then, I doubt your grandfather’s illness is a result of his longing for your uncle. It’s more likely an eruption of his pent-up anger all these years.”

“I think so too,” Devin muttered with amusement.

As they carried on chatting, Sebastian’s mood gradually lifted. The band of friends finished up their final game before a call from the office came. Then, Sebastian got ready to head back.

“The situation at your company just stabilized, so you’ve got to remember not to be too hasty and always discuss with others when making decisions. Also, don’t bury your feelings. Got it?”

As the eldest in the group, Devin made it a point to offer Sebastian some advice before he left.

When Jake heard his words, he interjected with jest. “He’s right, Sebastian. I heard you even got your wife to work there. How impressive! You could always talk things out with her. Apparently, she’s extremely competent.”
