Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Vivian had heard it too.

Her mind went blank as trepidation seized her.She mindlessly let Jason pull her toward the tall reeds, where they crouched for cover.

Two Elysians appeared at the river bank the moment they concealed themselves.

"Are you sure that you saw people here?"

"Yes, I'm pretty sure I heard something."

Frustration flashed across the first Elysian’s face upon hearing the answer.He strode toward the River of Styx.

"They're seeking death by coming here! Do they want to add to the number of dead bodies floating down this swamp?" he cursed, evidently annoyed.

Vivian was perplexed, but she instinctively cowered in fear when she heard the malice in his voice.

Her involuntary action caused her to brush up against the person next to her.

The atmosphere grew tense.

"I'm sorry, t-that was an accident" Vivian stuttered an apology.

Her face flushed scarlet as she went rigid from embarrassment.

Vivian was innocent by nature.

Although she and Jason had gotten into a conflict because of Daphne, Vivian harbored no hard feelings toward Jason.

After all, he was not directly involved in the matter.

Jason, too, was feeling a bit awkward.

He peeked at the young girl and noticed the pink blush on her cheeks.

Realizing that she was not disgusted nor repulsed by him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
