The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1154

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1154

Edmund couldn’t believe his ears since Benedict actually acknowledged he was the one at fault for the first time.

He went dead silent when he recalled the sort of capabilities Benedict possessed. Otherwise, his father couldn’t have sorted out the issue on his behalf so soon.

It turns out I’ve underestimated him again! He’s way more influential than I think he is! If a member of the Senate is capable of this, what about the ones hiding behind the scene? Is his superior far more capable than him?

He tried his best to remain calm in spite of feeling overwhelmed. In the end, he agreed to return with his so-called father under one condition.

“She’s quite a pain in the ass since she’s not really in her right mind for most of the time. I’m afraid none of you can take her away against her will. I’ll get in touch with her brother and get him to pick her up.”

“Well, I guess it’s fine.”

Benedict agreed and departed from the hotel shortly after he wrapped up the session with his son.

Meanwhile, Edmund returned to the side of Sabrina shortly after the departure of his father. He asked, “Ms. Sabrina, what are you doing?”

Sabrina was occupied with something. She remarked while staring at the map in front of her, “Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m trying to plan your escape route?”

She was there throughout his conversation with his so-called father. To his surprise, she seemed to have considered the possibility of Benedict trying something else instead of sending him to Yorksland as promised.

Standing next to the woman, he felt great for the first time in a while and murmured in an intimate manner, “Ms. Sabrina…”

He made it sound as if they were husband and wife, but Sabrina, who wasn’t aware of the things he had in mind, repeated her question, “What do you want?”

“Shall we disguise ourselves and sneak to the airport using a secret route? As long as we look different, I’m sure his men can’t find us!”

“Are you serious?”

She turned around and looked at him in the eyes. It was evident the man had successfully deceived her again.

It wasn’t because she was a fool. In fact, it was because she had faith in those she deemed reliable, including the man next to her. Therefore, she wasn’t suspicious of his suggestion at all.

To make sure he could convince her, he showed her the route using the map he had installed. Ten minutes later, they took a detour to the mall to get themselves disguised.

On their way to the mall, Edmund drafted a text to Karl.

“Y-You—”

“It took me some time to pick something to go along with your dress! What do you think, Ms. Sabrina?”

Sabrina had a hard time breathing because of the man’s presence and affectionate gaze. As much as she thought of looking elsewhere, she found out she couldn’t.

What the hell is wrong with me? Have I fallen for him or something? How is that even possible?

He took her breath away with his grin while caressing her hair in an affectionate manner. Consequently, she felt her heart racing again.

“Ms. Sabrina, has your husband told you that you’re a gorgeous woman?”

“N-No—”

“Well, it’s an honor to be the first to compliment your beauty. You’re truly the most gorgeous woman I have ever encountered throughout my life. Others might not learn to appreciate you, but it’s fine because you’re one-of-a-kind. After all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Although there was nothing special with the man’s orated speech, Sabrina’s mind went completely blank because of it.

She wasn’t even aware of the things going on, including the firearm assault in the mall, because the man’s affectionate speech was the only thing she had in mind.
