Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

If she was telling the truth, Devin wouldn’t get mad at her.

Though the plan was of utmost importance, it was equally important for them to save the hostage’s life. After all, their goal was to protect the people’s lives and property.

Devin stared at her for some time and decided not to say anything.

“Get some rest. I’m glad you’re fine. I need to return to the military base now,” he said and stood up.

Kira panicked and grabbed his arm without warning.

“Devin, can you keep me company here? I’ve just regained consciousness and can’t move around. I’m afraid as it’s too dark here.”

She looked out of the window, tears glistening in her eyes. Her face was pale, as though she hadn’t recovered from the shock. She held onto Devin’s arm tightly, refusing to let go.

The helpless expression of a damsel in distress was usually catnip for a man’s protective instincts.

Alas, Devin took one look at her and frowned before retracting his arm.

Kira was dumbfounded by his response.

“Stop it. I’m here to work, not to fool around!” he declared sternly.

In a split second, his expression turned grim and annoyed.

Kira shuddered. She dared not utter a single word.

She was fearless, but the only thing that would scare her witless was her cousin’s rage.
