Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 976

“What happened to you?”

“N-Nothing… I hurt myself by accident on the way back, that’s all!” Sasha stammered in response to his sudden glare.

What kind of accident would result in a nasty wound like this? Sebastian thought to himself with a frown.

Since she refused to tell him the truth, he chose not to press her for answers and led her into the bedroom after taking a quick glance at her hand.

“You messed up the bandages. I’ll re-do it for you.”

“Okay,” Sasha agreed immediately when she saw that he had stopped pressuring her for an explanation.

“What did Alfred tell you when you saw him at the White House earlier, Sebby? I heard Old Mr. Jadeson went over too. Did something happen?” she asked while holding out her hand.

“No, don’t worry about it,” Sebastian calmly reassured her and kept his head low as he focused on wrapping her hand up.

Sasha felt relieved when she heard that.

“What did he tell you, then?”

“He asked me about his son. He wanted to know if I was the one causing trouble behind the scenes,” Sebastian lied as naturally as he breathed while bandaging her hand up like a gentleman.

Due to his intelligence, Sasha had no choice but to believe him whenever he lied to her.

She asked him about returning to Avenport when he was done patching her up, and Sebastian gave her a decisive reply this time. “We leave tomorrow. I’ve had Karl prepare a private jet for us, so we’ll fly straight to Avenport.”

“Okay!”

Sasha was overjoyed. She threw herself into his embrace, nuzzling against his chest and kissing him happily on the lips.

As his wife had taken the initiative, it was only natural for Sebastian to respond passionately in kind.

The housemaids at Oceanic Estate realized the two of them spending most of the afternoon upstairs that day.

Meanwhile, Jonathan was furious as he confronted Candice for her actions at The Ataraxy.

“You never fail to surprise me, Candice! I can’t believe you’ve changed so much over a year! You went from being a mature and obedient person to some bloodthirsty lunatic fighting on the frontlines! What, was your behavior in the past just a pretense?” he yelled angrily at Candice who was kneeling before him.

Had Jared not rushed over from The Ataraxy to beg him for mercy, Jonathan might have had his men break her legs on the spot.

“N-No, Uncle Jonathan… Please, listen to me… I’m not that kind of person!”

Candice went pale from his questioning, but her cunning nature pushed her to deny it even though all evidence had been presented to her.

“What I did before was wrong, and I’ve already been locked up for half a year because of it, but… I’m not at fault this time! My sisters-in-law told me Oceanic Estate has reduced their monthly allowance to 500 thousand. That’s why I came rushing over!”
