Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Even in the dark of night, Ian could see her fondness for Matteo, especially when she mentioned the cheerful part. She had meant it genuinely.

Ian looked away and turned around.

Susan quickly caught up with him and walked by his side. “Where should we find her? This side?”

“No.” His voice suddenly sounded cold.

Susan was a little confused by his sudden coldness. But since he had said that, she decided to follow behind him silently instead. When he turned right, she turned right too.

She was sitting on a chair, surrounded by a male and a female officer. In her hands was a giant lollipop, and she was enjoying it.

“What's your name, little girl?”

“Natalie.” Her cute voice and the scent of the sweet softened the police officers' hearts.

Right as he was about to head in, a policewoman sat next to Natalie because she liked the girl very much.

“Tell us, Natalie. Why did you run away from home?”
