Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1296
Seeing his condition, Devin was slightly worried.
“Shall I ask Grayson to come over and take a look at you? He knows your condition better.”
“It’s alright,” Sebastian politely rejected.
Sitting in the bright and sunny garden, he watched the four kids running around not too far away. Suddenly, a revelation struck him—he had finally achieved the kind of life he had always been looking forward to.
“What are your plans going forward? Are you entering the White House?”
“Not really. You know I’m not interested in that. As compared to that, I’d rather pick up my weapon and protect the world. The power game is never my cup of tea,” Devin expressed his thoughts as he arranged the breakfast on the white dining table.
In fact, someone like him was hard to come by.
He was a man full of responsibility and ambitions. Unlike others, he refused to go with the flow and mixed in the murky seabed of power.
Truth be told, if everyone donned in that uniform were like him, there would be peace in the entire world.
Smiling, Sebastian picked up the mug of warm water in front of him.
“That sounds great too. Grandpa shall deal with those things instead. I might be accompanying Sasha to Jetroina sometime later. Solomon said he has found Haruto and would let her meet him when the time comes.”
“Oh, that’s great.” Hearing that piece of news, Devin’s eyes glowed.
In comparison, Haruto’s medical knowledge and skills were far more competent than Grayson’s. After all, the former was a genius in the medical industry.
Devin headed back to Jadeborough after breakfast that day.
Even though he had no plans of intervening with matters at Jadeborough, he still had to take charge of the situation there before a new leader took over the role.
On the other hand, Sabrina stayed.
She felt great to be back at this home with Jaena.
“Oh yes, Sab. Have you met Edmund?”
“Oh, nope,” Sabrina, who was having a fun time playing with her kid, replied without giving too much thought to it.
In truth, Edmund did not appear at the party the other day. Sasha had tried calling him a few times, yet, none of the calls went through to her surprise.
And she reasoned it with two possibilities—one, he was unwilling to pick up her class; two, her number had been blocked.
Somehow, Sasha felt a prickle of guilt within her.
She thought of meeting him in person to not only thank him but also to apologize regarding the incident earlier on.
Nevertheless, she still had not managed to get in touch with Edmund. Instead, Willow made an appearance as she came running to her house. The moment she stepped foot in, she threw her bag aside, jumped onto the couch, and began tearing up.
Sasha was shocked to see her.
What is this all about again?
Without choice, she put down the cookies she had prepared for the kids and walked over to Willow.
“What’s going on? Who has bullied you? Tell me; I’ll avenge you!”
“Really?”
Willow looked up at Sasha innocently with her swollen and teary eyes upon hearing those words.
Sasha took a deep breath and gulped. “Yeah, go ahead and tell me.”
Elated, Willow explained, “Then, ask Brandon to come over. I’ve waited at his house for three days, but he’s nowhere to be seen. What do you think he’s up to? Is he not willing to see me?”
Sasha did not know what to make of it.
Wait, no way. Since when did this woman get so close with that ostentatious guy?
Sasha could not get it through her head. There were just too many matters she was going through and weighing on her mind for the past few years. Had Willow not told her about it, she would never learn about it in any way.
“Hold up… I’m a little confused. You’re telling me that you and Brandon are dating? You guys have gotten to that stage?”
“We’ve even done everything there is to be done.”
Pfft!
Sasha spat her mouthful of water onto the floor.
Done everything there is to be done… What the hell! What a scoop!
Sasha pushed herself off the chair due to the extreme shock. She only managed to digest that piece of news she heard after a short while and continued prying into the matter.
“Since you guys have gotten to that stage, then why is he still avoiding you when you’ve looked for him for three days?”
“How would I know? I won’t be here looking for you if I know the reason for it. Nancy, tell me. Do you think he doesn’t want to see me? If that is so, he can tell me straight up. I won’t badger him then,” Willow added with a pitiful expression on her face.
To that, Sasha fell silent.
In all honesty, she had learned not to take words from this best friend of hers too seriously, especially regarding relationships. Like a typical Pisces, she would never give up so easily, sometimes even getting overly obsessed, once she made up her mind for it.
A trace of ominous premonition hit Sasha.
Later, she went to make a phone call to Brandon.
“Hello? Brandon?”
“Sasha? Wow, you’re actually calling me?” Brandon picked up the call, and like usual, his tone sounded familiar and very endearing.
After some contemplation, Sasha asked, “It’s like this. Willow is at my house. Can I know what’s going on between the two of you?”
