Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 902

Sasha: Are you starting to remember things, Darling?

Darling: Such as?

Sasha: That is… You mentioned our marriage. Have you recalled how we ended up being together?

Sasha clasped onto her phone with bated breath and was so nervous that her palms got clammy.

For whatever reason, he suddenly ceased correspondence after she sent this out. Meanwhile, there she was, all jittery as she waited in her room.

Still, the phone stayed silent.

 

Damn this man…

She considered making a voice call but that was when she heard footsteps approaching from outside.

 

“Are you up there, Sasha?”

“Who is it?”

Sasha could only put down her phone and come out.

“Aunt Janice? What brought you here today?” She was quite surprised to see the middle-aged woman who had shown up out of the blue.

This woman was Janice Durant, who had not made an appearance since the day of the feast.

Perhaps it was owing to what happened at that event that Janice now appeared particularly self-conscious before Sasha.

“Yeah. Your grandfather wanted me to share with you how to manage a household. Have you done this before, Sasha?” Janice gently explained.

Sasha was dumbfounded.

Manage a household?

What does that mean? Why’s that old man doing this all of a sudden?

Amidst her trepidation, Sasha asked, “What does he mean? Does he intend to… have me manage Oceanic Estate?”

“Yes. Haven’t you noticed that there hasn’t been a female figurehead at Oceanic Estate for quite a while now? Since he did not take another wife after so many years and Stephen and the others moved out after they got married, everything had been left to Tony all this time. Now that you’re here, shouldn’t it be time for you to take charge of these matters?”

Janice smiled and nodded as though it was only the natural course of things. Sasha, however, was completely flabbergasted.

She had never thought about running things here because this was the one-and-only Oceanic Estate, the confluence point of the members of this most powerful family. What claim did she have as a granddaughter-in-law to start calling the shots around here?
