Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Sasha finally returned home with her family after being away from Avenport for more than a year.

They had gone through countless ups and downs as a family throughout the past year. Thus, Sasha

was overwhelmed by tidal waves of emotions when she set foot in her hometown again.

“Sha! We’re over here!”

Shortly after they walked out of the arrival hall, they saw a young man waving at them with all his might.

An elderly man was right next to the young man.

They were none other than her cousin, Lance Wand, and her father, Rufus Wand.

When Sasha saw Lance and Rufus, she cast everything aside and rushed in the direction of the ones

she held dear in mind with her eyes welling up.

“Dad, I’m finally home!”

She wrapped her arms around her father after being apart from him for more than a year. As a result,

she couldn’t stop herself from weeping.

Similarly, her father couldn’t keep his emotions to himself anymore. He started trembling with tears of

joy streaming down his cheeks when he thought he had lost his daughter for good a year ago.

“I’m glad you’re finally home!”

Even Sebastian couldn’t help but tear up as he heard the conversation of the father and daughter duo.

After all, it took them a lot of effort for their family to reunite and return to the place they considered

their home.

It took them some time to regain their composure and snap out of the overwhelming session.

The little ones greeted their grandfather, “Grandpa, did you miss us?”

“Of course! I miss all of you so much I have a hard time sleeping!”

Rufus leaned over and wrapped his arms around his grandchildren.

The boys were relatively obedient. On the contrary, the little girl ran her chubby fingers through her

grandfather’s hair and urged, “Grandpa, have you not taken good care of yourself when we were

away?”

“Huh?”

Rufus couldn’t believe the seven-year-old little girl was such an observant sweetheart. Subsequently,

he felt another prickling sensation behind his eyes.

He had aged over the night when he heard that his son-in-law had gone missing and was heartbroken

to know that his daughter had fallen off a cliff, dead.

On top of that, his grandchildren were nowhere to be found. He thought he had lost all the ones he held

dear over the night.

He was just glad he hadn’t resorted to anything extreme such as joining them in the afterlife when he

was at the worst in life.

“Well, since you’re back, why don’t you drop by every once in a while to ensure I’m taking good care of

myself?”

“Okay! If that’s the case, I’ll make sure to visit you every once in a while in the future!” The innocent

little girl promised her grandfather to keep him company without a second thought.

As the little girl tapped on the middle-aged man’s shoulder and assured him, those around them burst

out laughing.

It was still autumn in Avenport while the people of Jadeborough had gotten themselves ready for

winter. Things were still lively for those in Avenport, especially the family who had been apart from one

another for so long.

Once they returned to Frontier Bay, Wendy wasn’t the only one around to welcome the family of five—

Sharon, Sasha’s aunt, was there as well.

“You’re finally home!”

She was all smiles when she rushed out of the entrance with an apron around her. The moment she

saw them, she couldn’t stop herself from weeping anymore.

Sasha felt equally overwhelmed. She brought her children along with her and greeted Sharon, “Aunt

Sharon, just leave the rest to the housemaids and take a break!”

Sharon wiped her tears dry and started reprimanding her niece, “What are you talking about? It’s

nothing when it’s such a joyous occasion!”

After a few seconds, Sharon brought the little ones into the mansion and thought it was time to gather

around as a family.

Sebastian spent the time after their meal with his father-in-law and Jackson, Sasha’s uncle, whereas

Sasha joined Sharon in cleaning up the things she brought home with her.

“How’s everything going on with the Jadesons? Has that man given his consent and allowed all of you

to return?”

As the most level-headed amongst the rest, Sharon brought up a serious question.

Sasha nodded in return and assured her aunt, “Aunt Sharon, you don’t have to worry because there’s

no way he’s going to harm Sebastian. At the end of the day, Sebastian is still the sole successor of his

late son.”

Sharon let out a long sigh of relief when she heard her niece’s words of assurance.

She had been holding a grudge against Sasha due to the demise of Xenia. Sasha’s demise was the

turning point of their relationship.

It was the first time in forever Sharon showed her niece her affectionate side and thought it was time to

let bygones be bygones.

“Speaking of which, where’s Sabrina? She’s not in the company, is she?”

Sharon finally returned to her usual indifferent self when Sasha brought up Sabrina. “How am I

supposed to know her whereabouts when we’re not related to one another?”

Sasha knew it was time to ask someone else. Thus, she reached for her phone and drafted a text

message.

Sasha: Sab, where are you? We’ve returned home. Currently, we’re at Frontier Bay.

Standing on the balcony, she thought it was great to be home after being away for almost a year. She

was glad the housemaids did a great job maintaining the garden as well.
