Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1812

“Ah, Ian! Welcome back! You're just in time for lunch! Go wash your hands and have a seat!” Susan greeted him with a surprised smile when she came out of the kitchen with the food.

Huh? Is she not mad at me?

Ian thought to himself in confusion while staring long and hard at her.

Not only was she not angry at him in the slightest, but she also had her usual warm and caring look on her face.

Feeling a little relieved, Ian replied with a nod, “Okay.”

He then put his bag down and went to wash his hands in the bathroom.

The atmosphere in the house returned to normal that day, and the three of them headed out together when the rain stopped later that afternoon. Because Timothy was in a hurry to attend a competition, Susan drove Ian to university using her moped instead.

“Ian, did your father say anything about the project you're in charge of? Is he satisfied with your performance?” she asked along the way.

Having gotten used to riding around on mopeds, Ian was casually reading through an electronic book while seated behind her.

“He didn't ask.”

“What? He didn't ask? Why not? Was he unsatisfied with your performance?”

Susan grew anxious when she heard that. She even slowed down a little just so she could hear him clearly.

Ian looked up at her when he noticed the sudden decrease in speed.

“The fact that he didn't ask me about it could also indicate something else.”

“What would that be?”

“That he doesn't need to worry about it at all!” Ian replied confidently.

Oh, wow... Okay... You know what? Screw it, I'm not going to ask any further!

Susan thought to himself as she continued the journey to the university in silence.

“Susan, Ian, nice to see you two back on campus again! I heard you guys took the day off and went home yesterday. What happened? Is everything all right?” Zaylynn exclaimed in surprise the moment she saw them.

Susan simply flashed her a smile and brought the moped to a halt so Ian could get off.

“You head on over to your classroom, Ian. I'll be in the Faculty of Business Administration. Give me a call if Timothy isn't able to pick you up when your class is over, and I'll come right over.”

“Okay.” Ian nodded obediently.

Zaylynn, on the other hand, started yapping the moment Susan left.

“Why does it have to be her that picks you up, Ian? I have a car, so I can send you home too! It's way more comfortable than a moped! Ian? Hey, Ian! Wait, don't go!”

Zaylynn stomped her feet in anger when she saw Ian carry on walking like she didn't exist.

She then followed closely behind him until they arrived at the Faculty of Finance. Suddenly, the two of them happened to bump into Yasmin and Jacques.

“Ah, Ian! You're back!” Jacques called out to him worriedly upon seeing him.

Not wanting to be rude to him, Ian stopped in his tracks and said, “Yeah.”

“Is everything all right at home? You left in such a hurry that Yasmin had to take care of your leave application!” Jacques shot Yasmin a glance as he asked.

A faint blush could be seen on Yasmin's pretty, fair face when she heard that.

“Oh, it's nothing worth mentioning! I—”

“Anything else I need to know? If not, I'll be on my way to class now,” Ian cut her off coldly, much to Yasmin and Jacques' surprise. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Neither of them was expecting for Ian to be so cold toward them.

Even Zaylynn was so shocked that she only snapped out of her daze when Ian entered the classroom.

“Hey, Ian! Wait for me! Ian!” she shouted while running after him.

Yasmin's face was red with anger and embarrassment, and her knuckles turned white from how tightly she clutched her books.

“Um, Yasmin... Please don't take it personally. I heard Ian is just cold and aloof like that. He's not good at socializing with people, so we need to be more patient with him,” Jacques advised her when he noticed her response, but she didn't seem to hear him at all.

Moments later, she just turned around and walked off without saying a word.

D*mn, that's way scarier than her lashing out angrily!

Jacques thought to himself as he watched her leave.

Ian found the class to be quite all right, but it would be so much better if Zaylynn didn't pester him incessantly.

“Ian, look! I've made the notes for the classes that you missed! It's all here!” she said while handing him the notes that she had prepared throughout the past two days.

It was her first time ever doing such a thing.

Being quite the lazy student, the fact that she even prepared her own notes was a miracle in itself.
