The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1859

Crack!

The phone fell from Susan's hands and broke into pieces.

lan had already gotten used to the surroundings. He spotted a suitable pair of slippers at a stallnearby and was about to summon her when he saw her phone dropping to the ground.

"What's wrong?" he asked in confusion as he bent down to pick her phone up.

To his surprise, the young woman, who had been in a cheery mood just a moment ago, was now aspale as a ghost. She stared at him intently without a word

lan was at a loss when he saw that.

In a state of panic, he reached out and took her hand without hesitation.

As expected, her hand's also freezing.

"Susan, you—"

"lan, why don't I send you home today? We're at the county, anyway," Susan suggested suddenly.She retracted her hand from his grasp and gazed at the bus station not far away.

The veins on lan's forehead throbbed.

"Why?" he demanded.

His response was curt, and he didn't bother hiding his fury. His tone sounded haughty, as usual.Hearing that, Susan blanched.

She lowered her head and pretended to look at the broken pieces of her phone. She did her best totamp down her tears so he wouldn't realize her true feelings.

"Nothing. I was thinking that I'd better get you home before your parents start to worry. You'vebeen here for days, and you must have a ton of work waiting for you to handle by now. Besides, Vivitold me yesterday that your dad's planning to send Kurt here to bring you back home.” Sheimmediately made up an excuse.

She wasn't lying, though, for Vivian indeed contacted her yesterday to tell her that.

Contrary to her expectations, lan let out a disdainful snort and spun on his heels to leave afterhearing her words.

"lan, where are you going? Don't run off. The bus station is that way," she yelled.

"Susan, listen carefully. I'm an adult now, so I'm free to go anywhere I like. No one can limit myfreedom!" he snapped.

Susan parted her lips. "But-"

"Shut up!" he roared.

With that said, he strode away, leaving her behind. He ignored her and disappeared into the marketahead.

Susan stood rooted in her spot behind. She was so distraught that she could barely breathe.

I never meant to react this way. But I've really crossed the line this time. It was all my wishfulthinking.

Susan went to the bus station alone and bought the ticket. She then sent a text.

Susan: Sebastian, lan is doing fine here. I bought him a bus ticket and will send him back hometoday.

Her tone was respectful and formal. It was as though she had returned to her rightful position fromthis moment onward

She was a member of the Jadeson family, and lan was her nephew.

Sebastian's reply arrived shortly after.

Sebastian: Got it. I'll get someone to pick him up at Yeringham Station.

After reading the text, Susan felt drained of energy, and her shoulders slumped in dejection.

lan finally found her twenty minutes later. He was laden with grocery bags and even had a fluffypuppy with him. He was planning on keeping it as a pet.

When he showed up, he saw Susan sitting in the waiting room. She was obviously waiting for him toreturn.

"lan, I bought a bus ticket for you. It will depart in ten minutes. Your dad has sent someone to pickyou up at Yeringham Station. Hurry, you should leave now,” she said.

Her lips were curved into a pleasant smile as usual.

lan’s expression turned cold gradually. Crash! He dropped everything he bought to the ground,including the dog, before

turning to leave.

"Where are you going? lan, come back!" Flustered, Susan ran after him.

Alas, lan was too quick. As he had the upper hand over her with his height and long legs, Susancould barely catch up with him.

Left with no choice, Susan had to run with all her might.

Fortunately, the crowd dwindled after they left the market. She could still spot him from a distancebehind.

Noticing that he was heading in the direction of the village, Susan finally broke down out ofexhaustion. She screamed, "lan Hayes, can you stop acting like a child? You'll have to face realitysoon enough. It's useless to run away! In the end, you'll still have to go home!"

She was close to tears by the time she finished her sentence.

Finally, lan halted in his tracks. Perhaps he had heard how shaky her voice sounded.

Running away? No, I've never run away from anything. The reason why I came here was to faceeverything.

Turning around, lan went back to her. He came to a stop before her and realized she had brokendown completely.

"Who called you earlier?" he asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Susan was in the midst of wiping her tears away when she heard his question.

She lifted her head and stared at him blankly.

"Whose call was that? What did the person say to you?" lan demanded sharply. An icy auraenveloped him, and he looked terrifying.

Susan froze.q
