Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 782

“Devin, I agree with your cousin. You must come over more often for dinner. Otherwise, I’ll get into trouble left on my own.”

“You still get into trouble?”

“I still do. I almost did just now, didn’t I?”

Sabrina stroked her hair and smiled awkwardly.

Devin agreed in silence.

It was like the sun rising in the west. Sabrina Hayes who had never ever admitted to her own faults, actually confessed that she got into trouble.

 

Finally, Devin hurriedly grunted in reply and left.

Sabrina followed and caught up with him. “Say something! What do you mean by that? I tell you, if you are not here, I really can’t promise to not provoke your Grandpa with my temper.”

 

Devin was silent.

For a long time, Kira stood at the kitchen door, without moving an inch, watching the two of them.

Her face was a shade of white.

She knew full well that the secret love she kept in her heart would never be reciprocated. Their status in society was too far apart from each other.

Yet, whenever she saw him with other women, talking, laughing and then leaving with them, she felt a sharp pain in her heart like it was being cut with a knife. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Why did fate deal her such a cruel blow?

She went back into the kitchen like a robot…

When Jonathan came down, Devin was already outside his study, waiting for him with Sabrina.

“Grandpa, how is Sebastian?”

“What else? This is just the first two days, it’s going to be tough!”

Jonathan had just come down from upstairs. Tired as he was, seeing the woman beside his grandson, he replied impatiently.

When Devin saw this, he hurriedly tried to pacify both parties. “Sabrina didn’t know any better so she was impulsive. Don’t be angry, Grandpa. She called me and offered to take care of him. That’s why she is here since she knows that our family members do not know his daily routine and habits.”

He put it so beautifully.

Sabrina cast him a sidelong glance and she was pleased to see this man by her side, speaking so well of her on her behalf.

So, she smiled happily.

Jonathan asked, “Why are you smiling?”

Sabrina shook her head: “It’s nothing, Old Mr. Jadeson. To express my apologies, may I invite you for a drink? How about Yellow Dune Chardonnay from Shanty Town?”

“What did you say?” Frederick’s eyes widened questioningly.

Devin felt as if his heart was beating at top speed and for a long time, he felt that his limbs were completely cold!

What is she up to? Devin was dumbfounded.

“Old Mr. Jadeson, don’t you remember Shanty Town? When you were at war, you liked the wine there very much.”

Jonathan was speechless.
