Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 916

The screen showed the message she sent out yesterday at 9.13 p.m., which was a forty-over seconds voice message.

It was only a little over nine, which meant the night was still young.

Did Sebastian fall right asleep after putting the kids to bed? She recalled him mentioning that their bedtime was around ten over there.

There were still more than thirty minutes left till bedtime. Why didn’t he reply to my messages during that period of time?

Sasha was staring at her phone when her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Just then, Olivia came upstairs once again.

“Madam, I made you some chicken soup. You should have some since you skipped the meal just now.”

Olivia really cared about her. She was thoughtful enough to serve Sasha some chicken soup since she had not eaten anything earlier.

Sasha didn’t know what to make of it.

She tightened her grip on her phone. After a long while, she finally spoke up. “Who sent the kids there today?”

“Tony.”

“Does he know about the parent-teacher conference today? I was told the night before that it’s compulsory for parents to attend the meeting.”

“Old Mr. Jadeson is already aware. He will make the necessary arrangements,” Olivia assured.

Sasha had seen that coming, so she continued in a steady voice, “Can I make a call? I promised the children I would go the other night. They will be terribly disappointed if they don’t see me there.”

“Um…” Olivia hesitated.

However, as a mother herself, she relented in the end. Olivia headed downstairs to ask for Jonathan’s permission in Sasha’s place.

She returned with a wireless landline phone in hand not long after.

“Here you go, Madam.”

Sasha took the phone from Olivia through the window with a dejected look on her face. She then dialed Matteo’s smartwatch in front of her.

Ring… Ring… Ring…

“Hello?”

After a few seconds, a child’s voice rang out.

Sasha immediately tightened her grip on the phone as if it was her last hope. “Matt, it’s Mommy. I won’t be able to attend your parent-teacher conference today.”

“Why?” Matteo asked in a shrill voice.
