Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 85

What do I do? What can I do to gain his trust again?

How do I make sure he doesn’t get distracted by anyone else?

“What?” Sebastian exclaimed, rising from his seat abruptly. “Your own child?”

Xandra looked into his eyes and continued, “Yes, Sebastian, I want a child of my own. I have craved for reciprocated love and emotional contribution from your end for five whole years?”

Sebastian fell silent with a grim expression on his face.

However, Xandra was not going to give up. This was her chance to fight back, and she would not let that chance slip by.

“I feel neglected and scared every night, and I see nothing but you leaving me behind every time I close my eyes,” she said sorrowfully. “Don’t you know, Sebastian? I was the girl who left you those letters under that magnolia tree for ten years. I didn’t want to reveal myself, simply because I was scared that you’ll treat me like I was transparent!”

She opened her bag with shaking hands and took something out.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes at the sight of the object that she took out.

It was just an old fountain pen wrapped in an old and yellowing handkerchief, but Sebastian could see the magnolia flower embroidery on its edges from where he was standing.

He curled his fingers instinctively.

“I’ve never thought of sucking up to you, so I never expected you to write back. You told me afterwards that you’ll take care of me for the decades to come in return for the warmth I gave you those ten years, and that’s why I went home with you. Don’t you remember, Sebastian?” Xandra cried, almost choking on her tears.

Sebastian pinched his fingers together.

He prided himself on his self-control, and he knew Xandra’s true intentions. Somehow, he managed to keep his emotions in check despite her irritating attempts to get his attention.

“What do you want, exactly?” he asked.

Xandra looked up with a start, her pitiful act completely forgotten.

What do I want?

I want to return to your side and live like how we used to before!
