The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1804

Susan then left the apartment with a backpack and an umbrella. After coming out of the building, she raised her gaze toward the dazzling sun before walking into the sultry weather.

Indeed, the sun was rather unforgiving that day.

Hence, she decided to just do her revision at the school. The school had allowed her to retake the examinations after clarifying what had happened.

When Susan had left for school, Yasmin remained at the apartment to continue cleaning up. She felt relieved knowing that she had the whole place for herself and Ian, so she was thinking of ways to approach Ian. Should I just tell him that his aunt had asked me to accompany him in delivering the gift? Or should I find an excuse so that he'd be more approachable? This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

She was left in a dilemma for quite a while.

Ultimately, she made up her mind when she saw Ian coming out of his room after getting changed. “Ian, your aunt had left. She said her school had agreed to let her retake her examinations, so she'd gone there to revise.”

Upon hearing that, Ian, who was wearing his blue shirt with white stripes, stood still and stared at her coldly. “Why are you still here, then?”

“Huh?” Yasmin was startled, and her scalp went tingly.

“Y-Your aunt told me to stay. She told me you're going to send some gifts on your parents' behalf, so she'd allowed me to keep you company. She'd even given me taxi fares,” she uttered cautiously while whipping out two one hundred banknotes.

She had to say that to convince him because she was afraid that Ian might end up rejecting her.

However, Ian's expression got even more frightening when he was staring at the banknotes in her hand.

“Haha.” He let out a chuckle.

Yasmin was baffled when she heard that. What did he mean by that?

Right after he chuckled, Ian turned around and went back into his room before slamming the door shut.

Yasmin was rendered speechless, and she stood there in a daze for quite a long time. In the end, she slumped into a chair behind her.

At that moment, her pretty little face had turned pale. Is he not willing to go with me? He'd never been like this. Back then, he'd go to wherever I invited him to. Even when I was working part-time, he'd also accompanied me. Why is he acting this way now?

In utter remorse, she sat there and started sobbing.

Meanwhile, Susan was concentrating on her revision at her school's library. Since it was the weekend, the library was almost empty. In fact, it was as if she had the whole library to herself. She was able to focus fully on her studies because it was that quiet.

Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, her smartphone started vibrating in her bag.

When she heard that, she quickly took it out, fearing that it might cause a disturbance to the other students.

“Hello?”

“Susan, Ian is unwilling to go with me. I think he's still blaming me for what happened. Could you come over and bring him there instead? I'll just tag along,” Yasmin said.

Since she had no idea how to deal with Ian, she ended up looking for Susan for help.

Susan was annoyed because the phone call had interrupted her concentration. When she heard about Yasmin's outrageous request, she couldn't help but scold, “Yasmin, that's your problem! Since you've already decided to get him back, you should work hard on your own instead of looking for me for help. Although I'm his elder, I'm not a parent to him!”

With that, Susan hung up the phone relentlessly.

When Yasmin heard that, she was embarrassed, and she felt as though she had just been delivered a slap across her face.

Indeed, she was too full of herself prior to that.

Is it because her father had died too soon, so she had a poor upbringing? Or did she do that on purpose? Before Susan could compose herself, she was once again interrupted by her smartphone. This time around, Sasha called and asked her why she had not brought Ian to her friend's event. Upon seeing no sign of Ian, Sasha's friend had called to ask Sasha personally.

“What?” Susan was panicking. “About that... Sasha, Ian said he was going to attend the event on his own. I'll go back and check on him now.”

“Okay. Do that quickly. Every time he encounters something unpleasant, he'd just lock himself up in his room. Go over to check on him. If he's still home, please persuade him and bring him to see the Lowry family yourself.”

“All right. I understand,” Susan answered hurriedly before grabbing her backpack and leaving the school.

I mustn't let them know about Yasmin! Otherwise, they're going to get pissed at me. With that thought in her mind, Susan got on her bicycle and rode home as fast as she could.q
