Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

It was all about genetics.

After being exploited by Elizabeth all these years, Colton nevertheless stayed true to himself and never became her

pawn. It was the same for the pair of siblings, who would never turn out to be people who covet power.

The two siblings still went to the University of Pollerton.

After half a year, with her own efforts, Susan managed to secure herself the opportunity to attend to University of

Pollerton, and several other universities in Yartran as a foreign exchange student. Without hesitation, she chose Atlantius.

"Susan, you're going there? Are you..."

Poppy took a peek at Susan's registration form. She was overjoyed yet worry for her best friend at the same time.

She was happy because she knew what Susan went through, and the reason behind her decision.

But at the same time, she was worried for Susan. Poppy feared for the worst, given that there was no news about Ian for

the past six months.

Nonetheless, she could tell from Susan's eyes that she had made up her mind.

"Don't worry about it. I've already made the necessary preparations."

Then, Susan submitted her form.

Another six months passed and it was already the end of the year. This time, when Susan and Timothy went back for

their break, they noticed that the other young adults did not return to Oceanic Estate for Christmas.

"Kurt and Vivi are not coming back this time because Vivi is invited to a fashion week."

"That's right. As for Mr. Ian, rumor has it that Uncle Solomon arranged for him to work at Wall Street in Moranta to

get some experience"

"Matteo will not be coming back as well."

Sigrith sighed at the thought.

Matteo must be sending Nat to meet her father. Brandon is finally getting better, and he's longing to see his

daughter. Nat, too, is missing her father, so Matteo was tasked to send her over.

Susan stood there and listened attentively.

She was feeling rather disappointed, for she believed that the young man she was waiting for was not going to

Moranta to gain experience, but instead, was just trying to avoid coming home.

Susan never imagined herself going through such torment on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Every day, she

would be counting down the days and hoping time could pass by quicker.

Once school reopened, I would be able to travel to Yartran.

Fortunately, she had her best friend by her side through such tough times.

Poppy: You're going to visit him soon. Do you have the gift ready?

Susan: What... what gift are you talking about?

Poppy: What do you mean what gift? You need to get him something that he likes. Do you even need me to teach

you this?

Of course Susan knew.

However, the only meaningful thing that she could do for him was merely to cook for him. Other aspects of his life

were well taken care of by his mother. He basically had everything that he needed and wanted, except for food.

Hence, she always cooked for him when they were staying in the apartment.

In the end, Susan did not get anything for him. Frustrated, she hugged the puppy that she got from Yeringham.

It was the same puppy that Ian had bought from the market that day.

After what seemed like an eternity, the day that Susan longed for finally came. With her luggage in hand, she left

the house in a hurry early in the morning. Sigrith, who witnessed her fumbling, couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"What's wrong with her? She was never this excited to go to school before. So why is she acting all jumpy now? She

didn't even attend the few dinner parties that I arranged for her."

"What dinner party?"

Coincidently, a few sisters-in-law from the Jadesons were here to visit. Upon hearing what Sigrith said, they were

intrigued.

Sigrith immediately explained, "She's going to graduate from university soon. Quite a few madams from influential

families are arranging for Susan to work for them. I was just about to tell her that."

"I don't think it's that simple. I bet they're all trying to get her to become their daughter-in-law instead."

The ulterior purpose was evident.

But it was to be expected. After all, Susan was a hot-shot in Jadeborough ever since she showed up. Many from the elite

families were eyeing for her to be their daughter-in-law.

Sigrith's sisters-in-law were happy for her because it meant that Susan could marry into a good family. Their lives could

see a change for the better soon enough.

In Pollerton.

After completing the registration process, Susan rushed to the airport.

Upon knowing that Susan was coming to Yartran, Vivian swiftly made the necessary preparations to welcome her.

Vivian texted her: Aunt Susan, you have nothing to worry about. Kurt and I are already here at the airport. You'll see us

when you arrive.

Susan: Okay.

Susan initially wanted to correct the way in which Vivan addressed her. But in the end, she decided not to as she didn't

want others to find out what was in her mind.

With a rapidly beating heart, Susan boarded the plane.

After a few hours, she arrived in Yartran.

The moment she exited the plane and entered the airport, she immediately noticed Vivian, who was dressed in a blue

jacket and a furry hat, waving vigorously at her. Standing behind Vivian was a handsome young man.

"Aunt Susan, I'm here! Look here!"

She joyfully called out to Susan. Despite her age, Vivan still had a baby face, and her smile was innocent and bright.

As she stared at Vivian, Susan was slightly dazed by the young woman's happy-go-lucky attitude.
