Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 63

Matteo came to his senses and smiled at his mother.

“It’s no big deal. A cartoon episode’s just ended. The bad guy’s always causing trouble, yet he’s not punished for it. It makes me so mad.”

The little boy deliberately put on an angry expression.

Sasha laughed when she heard that. “It’s okay, Matt. The bad guy will be punished eventually. You can find out what happens next when you watch the cartoon tomorrow. Alright now, let’s set the table and get ready for dinner.”

“Sure, Mommy.”

Matteo then went to set the table with his sister.

 

At last, dinner was served. Sasha had prepared the kids’ favorites—homemade roll, fish and chips, and omelet, to name a few. Although there wasn’t much food, all of them were made with love.

The minute Matteo sat down and picked up his cutlery, his thoughts drifted to that message, which he replied just a moment ago.

 

Has Ian tasted any of these before?

He felt unhappy again.

Buzz… Buzz…

“Hello. Who’s this?”

Sasha was not there to see Matteo’s reaction this time as she was still in the kitchen cleaning up and serving spaghetti for her kids. It was at that moment when her mobile phone suddenly rang.

“Hi, Sasha! It’s me, Lucy. Are you free tonight? Your uncle isn’t feeling so well. If you have time, can you come over and have a look at him? I think your acupuncture worked on him last time.”

Lucy had called. According to her, Jackson had fallen ill again.

It was a chilly evening. With his physical condition, falling ill was quite expected.

Sasha peeked at the time on her wristwatch and agreed, “Alright, I’ll come over after dinner.”

Lucy was happy to hear that. “That’s wonderful. In that case, why don’t I go over to your place? I can babysit the kids. It’s getting late now, so it’s not advisable to leave them alone at home. What do you think?”

“Sure, that’ll be great.”

Sasha accepted Lucy’s offer. She then hung up the phone and quickly served the spaghetti on a large plate.

“Matt, Vivi, I need to head over to your great-aunt’s house for a bit. Your great-uncle’s gotten sick again. I’m going to take a look at him. You two stay at home. Aunt Lucy will be coming over later, is that okay?”

“Okay, Mommy.”

Vivian, who had already begun to devour the food, quickly responded with childlike innocence.

Matteo had no issue with the arrangement as well.

If Mommy’s going to great-aunt’s house, then it’s not me who’s stopping her from going to Frontier Bay. If Ian asks about it later, I can tell him that it has nothing to do with me.
