The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1788

Chapter 1788 Ingratiation

That same afternoon, the lot of them gathered for lunch together.

The venue chosen was a small eatery just outside of the school grounds, and a thoroughly unremarkable one, at that.

When Susan arrived, she saw that the environment was not the best and was concerned about whether it would be to Ian’s liking. Hence, she decided to draw out a piece of tissue to wipe down the stool for him.

Before she was able to get down to it, however, Yasmin was already one step ahead.

“Allow me.”

With keen eyes and quick hands, she grabbed something and started to give the seat Ian was about to occupy a good cleaning up.

Susan was stunned to see that the item used was a pristine white handkerchief that was obvious at one glance to be something that she had brought along herself.

Ian was likewise astounded as well.

He was not quite as at ease with himself as he was before when they met up after he had learned of the girl’s background. What he felt then was a cautiousness tinged with a hint of contrite, as though he was fearful of hurting her again if he was not careful.

That girl though, behaved as if nothing was amiss, and went about ingratiating herself with him as she always did.

Does that mean that she hasn’t found out about what happened to her brother?

There and then, Ian felt relieved inside, and that sentiment was naturally reflected in his demeanor which had reverted to being as upbeat as it used to be.

“Okay.”

Regarding her with gentleness, he settled himself down into the chair.

Across from him, Susan watched as she awkwardly clutched onto that piece of tissue in her own hand, and for a considerable time thereafter, she remained ill at ease.

In spite of that, she was nonetheless the considerate type and was thus happy to see the duo back on good terms. Although Ian made no mention of it these past two days, she and her brother knew well how downcast the former felt.

“All right. What would you all like to have? I’d go place the order for us.”

“Okay. I’d like some spicy sliced beef.” Yasmin unreservedly named the dish that she herself wanted.

Such a spicy dish? Thought the amused Susan as she jotted it down.

Next up was her younger brother Timothy and Ian’s turn.
