Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 768

In the end, Devin agreed to do so.

He, like everyone else, knew just how great of a cook Kira was, and how his grandpa, Jonathan, really enjoyed her cooking.

What he didn’t know, however, was that the women stopped smiling the second he turned around and left with the kid.

“Do not let him figure this out, understand?”

“Yeah,” replied Kira with her head down. Her voice was so soft that it was ridiculous.

Seeing that instantly got Jasmine mad once more. She dissed, “What is with that expression? Do you think I enjoy this? That old man has sent his personal team over to train Sebastian, so what do you think is going to happen next? Sebastian is obviously trying to compete against your cousin to be the next head of the Jadesons. Let me get this straight. If Devin is not the heir, both you and I will lose everything!”

Kira didn’t reply.

Her fingers paled a little as she held the bag of groceries. It took her some time to garner enough courage and complain, “Even then, there is no need for me to mix these ingredients and cook for him. It’ll kill him!”

“How would that kill him? All it’ll do is make him a permanent cripple,” denied Jasmine right away.

Jasmine didn’t want to keep arguing with Kira, so the former glared over evilly and warned, “Do not get in my way again or I will marry you off to Alfred’s nephew!”

Kira was already pale, but hearing that got her even paler. It was as if her life was sucked out of her, and she stared fearfully at her aunt.

Kira didn’t dare to say another word anymore because she would rather die than marry that j*rk.

……

Sasha ended up spending the night in the room on the third floor.

She worried that Sebastian would develop another fever, so she returned after she calmed down and put her daughter to bed. Sasha guarded over Sebastian the entire night.

Bzz! Bzz!

The vibrating phone woke Sasha up.

She heard that hum, so she groggily got her phone out and answered, “Hello?”

“Madam, how are things on your side? Why haven’t you called to update me? I am worried sick here.”

It was Karl. He had been waiting outside the Oceanic Estate since she entered the place with Vivian. That day, he worried endlessly as he waited for her update.

Sasha regained her composure and rubbed her sleepy eyes beside the desk before she sat up. She was about to tell Karl that everything was fine when she noticed that the bed was empty.

“Where is he?”

“Where’s who?”
