Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

There was a pile of documents before Sebastian, but the man was smoking instead of working. The cigarette crackled amidst the silence, and the ashtray was loaded with cigarette butts.

“Out of anger?” He curled his lips into a sneer. “That woman doesn’t even want her kids.”

“How is that possible?” Wendy’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Madam loves the kids so much! Why would she abandon them? There’s just too much going on in her life. She’s shouldering too many burdens, so she probably wasn’t in the right state of mind.” Wendy had been taking care of Sebastian since he was a kid, so she wouldn’t want to see him make any wrong decisions. Hence, she advised him earnestly, “Mr. Hayes, you need to give her some time. If you force her, it will only make the matter worse. If anything happens to her, what are you going to do with the kids? She’s their mother, after all.”

In fact, Wendy could see through the matter better than Sebastian. She could tell Sasha’s suffering and all her struggles. The latter’s current mental state was no better than a person walking at the edge of a cliff, to say at least.

No one could tell if anything might happen to her if Sebastian continued to force her.

After Wendy left, the light in the study remained lit for a long time.

The next morning, Roxanne dropped by.

“Ms. Rocke, you’re here so early today!”

“Well, I have something I need to attend to later, so I’ve decided to come earlier to check on that woman. How is she now? Was she doing okay last night?”

Roxanne made herself at home. As soon as she entered the house, she grabbed an apple from the table before heading upstairs.

Wendy quickly followed suit.
