Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 956

For Devin, the youngest person among the four of them, Jake, was like his little fanboy.

Back then, all four of them grew up together in the same neighborhood. Since Devin was the oldest among them, he had always been the leader in the group, which included Jake and Shawn.

Devin was drowned in his thoughts as he held a glass of alcohol in his hand. He thought of how many things had changed and said, “I want to resign all my positions in the military and live abroad.”

“What?”

Jake stared wide eyed at him as soon as he said that.

Resign? Live abroad? Is he leaving the Jadesons for good? He doesn’t want to be a member of the Jadesons anymore?

Jake was at a loss for words as a myriad of questions popped into his mind.

“Devin, i-is this really what you want? Is it because of Sebastian? Still, there’s no need for you to leave the Jadesons because of that. That’s your home.”

Devin merely shook his head and said, “This has nothing to do with him. I’m just tired of this life.”

Jake stared at the former who was sitting under the dim lights in the room. He didn’t know what to say.

Ever since what happened to the Jadesons, Jake had been worried that Devin and Sebastian would have a falling-out. After Shawn’s death, he just hoped that nothing else would happen between them.

Yet, when he heard that Devin did not blame Sebastian at all, he could not help but feel conflicted.

He knew that Devin had always been a righteous and forgiving person. Still, he wondered if Devin had any idea how much it hurt to hear those words coming from his mouth.

In the end, Jake decided to say nothing else.

He simply got up, wanting to order more alcohol.

However, when he got to the door, he saw a beautiful girl in a dress standing in front of him.

“Jake, where’s Devin? Is he here with you?”

“Huh?”

Jake was a little stunned.

Kira? How did she find me here?

Jake’s expression darkened as he looked at her. He quickly shut the door to the private room and said, “He’s not here!”

Kira did not believe Jake’s words at all. “I don’t believe you. You guys have always been together since you were young. Now that Shawn’s dead, and he’s not over at Red Pavilion, where else would he be if he’s not here?” she scolded and pushed him aside.

As expected, as soon as she pushed the door open, she saw a young man sitting with his legs crossed under the dim lights on the couch.

It was clear that the man was the person she had been looking for.
