The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1786

Chapter 1786 Do You Blame Aunt Susan

Similar to the last time, Susan had also been brought to the apartment by Ian. After he fetched a basin of hot water for his aunt to wash up with, Ian proceeded to inspect the wounds she had on her before he hastened along to find her some first aid.

“Hang on, Ian. There’s something that I’d like to ask.”

With her eyes in a state of consistent puffiness, Susan called after him, and only then did Ian turn around to still himself in front of her.

“Go ahead.”

“I-I would like to know if you were ever angry? Over this matter?”

With her head raised, the barely twenty over year old girl could no longer hold herself together when she finally dropped that question, and from her eyes, tears came pattering off as soon as she did.

Is he upset? That was what she wanted to know.

She supposed that Yasmin was someone that he fancied, so would he be resentful of her for forcing the former to quit school?

Susan regarded him unflinchingly as he listened, only to see a look of serenity about the boy.

“Why should I be? I know that you must have your reasons for doing what you did, Aunt Susan, so all I want to hear is an answer from you. Just tell me what it is.”

His calmness was astonishing, seemingly never in doubt whatsoever as to whether she might be acting in his best interest, as though what she had done behind his back was something that was merely pedestrian.

Susan was dumbstruck.

All of the grievances she had piled up inside finally proved too much for her to handle, bursting forth from her chest like a river that had overflowed its embankments. Sprawled over the table in front of her, she then started to bawl uncontrollably.

How could she not be considered a child? She had only just turned twenty-one.

Susan’s crying persisted for a good several minutes before she gradually recollected herself. Throughout, Ian stood steadfastly beside her with nary a word and refrained from interrupting until her emotions finally settled…

“I-I did this because… I feared that she might harm you,” she eventually said between snivels.

“Harm me?” Ian sounded somewhat surprised. “Why? Do you think that by allowing her to work with me this past period, she was going to affect me in some way?”

“No… It isn’t like that. It was because… she’s the older sister of one of your late associates, Ian. Do you remember Duncan, that good friend of yours? She’s his sister.”
