 Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1234 An Overnight Wait

Sebastian left Aquene Temple that afternoon.

Devin had wanted to accompany him since Sebastian’s condition was far from stable.

Still, his offer was met with a firm refusal.

There were many issues to settle in Jadeborough, chief of which was Silas’ precarious ratings after Eddie’s fiasco.

Without a member of the Jadeson family in the White House to show support, it would be challenging to stabilize the

political climate in Jadeborough.

Plus, Sebastian needed someone to follow up on Jonathan.

Devin eventually agreed to stay behind.

“Uncle Shin, I’ll be heading off then.”

Unlike Sebastian, Devin had no qualms about calling the old monk his uncle after uncovering his true identity.

To his surprise, Shin seemed reluctant to accept his address.

“Mr. Jadeson, I am now Master Abner, and I hope that you will continue to address me as such in the future.”

Devin stared blankly at the old monk, not knowing what to say.

His sadness at Shin’s request was palpable, and Sabrina tugged on his sleeve the moment she noticed his forlorn

expression.

She said, “If he doesn’t want you to call him Shin, you should respect his wishes. He’s never once gone by another

identity, not even with Sebastian, so why would he acknowledge his relationship with you?”

Edmund chimed in, “She’s right.”

In the end, Devin could only leave the temple with Edmund, Sabrina, and his daughter in tow.

With Sebastian gone, Devin and Sabrina were the only Jadesons left in Jadeborough. After departing Aquene

Temple, Devin went straight to their newly-recovered Oceanic Estate instead of Red Pavilion.

The couple had Edmund over for dinner at Oceanic Estate that night. The latter was digging in happily as Devin

placed the dishes on the table and asked, “Ed, what are your plans?”

He had posed this question as a friend and classmate. Now that the situation had stabilized, Devin wanted to know

if Edmund had any particular requests.

If he plans to assume a position in the government, I’ll make it happen, even if he’s some lazy, notorious bachelor.

To his pleasant surprise, Edmund seemed to fall into deep thought at his question.

A couple of minutes later, he asked, “What do you think I should do?”

“You’re asking for my opinion?” Devin chuckled before continuing, “Of course, I’d like you to stay here and help me.

I’m going to need all the help I can get. Plus, you aren’t too shabby yourself. Our plan would never have succeeded

without you, and I’d love for us to continue working together in the future.”

Edmund brightened up immediately. “Really?”

He turned his head subconsciously to peek at Sabrina, who was busy feeding her daughter.

“Sab- I mean Mrs. Jadeson, is that what you think as well?”

“Huh?” Sabrina looked up in the middle of feeding her daughter a spoonful of pumpkin puree.

She was now dressed in her usual attire upon her return to Oceanic Estate.

Her black locks were twirled into a high bun, exposing her fair and slender neck. Decked in a form-fitting jacket,

Sabrina looked as gorgeous as before.

“Don’t ask me about such things. If Devin wants you to do so, you had better follow his instructions. Look at

yourself. If you don’t buck up soon, the Cooper women are going to swallow you whole.”

“Er-”

“Sabrina!” Devin could not help but hint at his sharp-tongued wife.

Thankfully, Edmund was not angry or offended by her statement. Instead, he chuckled good-naturedly before

turning his attention back to his food.

After he left, Devin and Sabrina brought their daughter to the bedroom. Devin then switched on his computer and

got to work analyzing the organizational chart of the White House.

Sabrina, on the other hand, tucked their daughter into bed before ducking into the bathroom with a bathrobe.

She emerged from the steamy bathroom fifteen minutes later, her face flushed from a hot shower. The low collar

of her outfit revealed a smooth and enticing expanse of skin.

“A-Aren’t you going to sleep?”

“Soon. Let me check if I can find any suitable positions for Edmund,” Devin answered her hesitant question without

even turning around.

Suddenly, a seductive scent wafted toward his nose, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps approaching him

from behind.

“Darling?” Devin paused momentarily before whirling around.

Sabrina was standing before him in a skimpy black negligee. With her hair let down, she was most definitely

dressed to seduce him.

“I-If you’re not sleeping, I’ll go to bed first,” she stammered nervously.

Contrary to her typically rambunctious behavior, Sabrina was unusually conservative when it came to the art of

seduction.

They may have been married, but they had never engaged in such foreplay in the past.

Sabrina’s cheeks were painfully hot from her furious blush.

Devin’s gaze darkened dangerously. His intention to finish his work flew out the window as he slammed his

computer shut and lunged for his wife.
