Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 62

“Little Ian, it’s getting late. I have to go now.”

“Alright,” came a flat response from Ian, who was playing a game in the room.

“So will you be coming tonight?”

“What’s that?”

“You said you would come over every night to treat Daddy’s illness.”

Ian’s fingers did not stop tapping on the game controller while his eyes remained glued to the screen. With that listless demeanor of his, if Sasha had not been staying with the boy in the same room, she might have suspected that he wasn’t the one who said those words.

Sasha lowered her eyes. For a moment there, she thought about telling him that she would not be coming that night.

In fact, she would not be coming anymore. She didn’t want to treat his daddy’s illness again if she could help it.

But as she stood there gazing at the boy’s little head and then at the medicine left on the table, she nodded in the end.

“Yes, of course I’ll come. You should go to sleep after you put on your pajamas, understand? I will come to check on you as soon as I arrive, alright?”

The boy remained quiet.

He felt embarrassed now that his secret had been discovered.

But he nodded in the end before shifting his focus back to the game.

Sasha left the house after that, feeling relieved.

Half an hour later, at the preschool in Old Town.

“Mommy, finally! There you are! I thought you don’t want us anymore.”

Reaching the preschool at half-past four was not considered late. But as soon as she got there, her two little kids came running toward her. They leaped into her embrace and began to whine like the children they were.

Well, Vivian did most of the whining.

Matteo, on the other hand, just stood in front of his mother, carrying his schoolbag.

Sasha instantly cracked a smile. She squatted down and took her two precious kids in her arms. “Now, why wouldn’t I want you two? There’s nothing I want in the world other than the two of you.”

“Really?”

Vivian was happy to hear that. She gave Sasha a tight hug and kissed her on the cheek.

Meanwhile, Matteo merely hugged her.

From that hug, the clever boy could sense that something was amiss about their mommy. Her smile seemed rather unnatural.

Is it possible that… Mommy went there again today, and something happened?

Matteo’s beaming face immediately dimmed.

After fetching her kids, Sasha brought them to the supermarket to get some groceries before going home. She had to prepare dinner for them, clean up after that and then make a trip to Frontier Bay, so there was no time to spare.
