The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1154

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1154

Edmund couldn't believe his ears since Benedict actually acknowledged he was the one at fault forthe first time.

He went dead silent when he recalled the sort of capabilities Benedict possessed. Otherwise, hisfather couldn't have sorted out the issue on his behalf so soon.

It turns out I've underestimated him again! He's way more influential than I think he is! If a memberof the Senate is capable of this, what about the ones hiding behind the scene? Is his superior farmore capable than him?

He tried his best to remain calm in spite of feeling overwhelmed. In the end, he agreed to returnwith his so-called father under one condition.

"She's quite a pain in the ass since she’s not really in her right mind for most of the time. I'm afraidnone of you can take her away against her will. Ill get in touch with her brother and get him to pickher up.”

“Well, I guess it's fine.”

Benedict agreed and departed from the hotel shortly after he wrapped up the session with his son.Meanwhile, Edmund returned to the side of Sabrina shortly after the departure of his father. Heasked, “Ms. Sabrina, what are you doing?”

Sabrina was occupied with something. She remarked while staring at the map in front of her, “Areyou blind? Can't you see I'm trying to plan your escape route?”

She was there throughout his conversation with his so-called father. To his surprise, she seemed tohave considered the possibility of Benedict trying something else instead of sending him toYorksland as promised.

Standing next to the woman, he felt great for the first time in a while and murmured in an intimatemanner, “Ms. Sabrina...”

He made it sound as if they were husband and wife, but Sabrina, who wasn't aware of the things hehad in mind, repeated her question, “What do you want?”

“Shall we disguise ourselves and sneak to the airport using a secret route? As long as we lookdifferent, I'm sure his men can't replace us!”

"Are you serious?”

She turned around and looked at him in the eyes. It was evident the man had successfully deceivedher again.

It wasn't because she was a fool. In fact, it was because she had faith in those she deemed reliable,including the man next to her. Therefore, she wasn't suspicious of his suggestion at all.

To make sure he could convince her, he showed her the route using the map he had installed. Tenminutes later, they took a detour to the mall to get themselves disguised.

On their way to the mall, Edmund drafted a text to Karl.

Edmund: I want you to pick her up at the mall after an hour.

What the hell is going on?

Karl was confused by the sudden turn of events until he came across the assault in the shoppingmall after spending another hour in the cybercafé.

Edmund's eyes gleamed when the woman marched out of the fitting room with Gothic clothes.Subsequently, he complimented her with a sincere smile, “Ms. Sabrina, you look great!”

He was intrigued and found out it was his fault for not acknowledging the sort of affection he hadfor when he had the chance to appreciate her presence.

With that being said, he blamed his upbringing because he was brought up with values differentfrom the woman he had a thing for.

He made fun of her and considered her a freak because of her preferences. Unwilling to beconsidered a freak, he tried to distance himself from her.

Unbeknownst to him, he had long fallen for the woman he considered a freak.

Similarly, Sabrina, who was in the middle of touching up her look, flushed when she heard the man'scompliment.

She had never heard others praising her for being herself. Thus, she stammered in return, “W-Whatare you talking about? Hurry up and go get yourself changed! Aren't we in a hurry?”

In order to get herself out of the awkward situation, she brought up something else to divert hisattention.

Nodding with a smile, he headed into the fitting room to disguise his look. A few minutes later, ahandsome man returned with a set of fashionable clothes

"Y-You—"

“It took me some time to pick something to go along with your dress! What do you think, Ms.Sabrina?"

Sabrina had a hard time breathing because of the man's presence and affectionate gaze. As muchas she thought of looking elsewhere, she found out she couldn't.

What the hell is wrong with me? Have I fallen for him or something? How is that even possible?He took her breath away with his grin while caressing her hair in an affectionate manner.Consequently, she felt her heart racing again.

“Ms. Sabrina, has your husband told you that you're a gorgeous woman?”

“N-No—"

“Well, it's an honor to be the first to compliment your beauty. You're truly the most gorgeouswoman I have ever encountered throughout my life. Others might not learn to appreciate you, butit's fine because you're one-of-a-kind. After all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Although there was nothing special with the man’s orated speech, Sabrina’s mind went completelyblank because of it.

She wasn't even aware of the things going on, including the firearm assault in the mall, because theman's affectionate speech was the only thing she had in mind.
