The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1874

Inside Adalyn's restaurant, Vivian, who had just started eating, knitted her brows when she saw that there were only four of them.

"Where's Aunt Susan? Why isn't she here?"

"Hmm?"

Laying out the cutlery, Kurt looked at her. "Didn't you inform her?"

"I didn't. Isn't she supposed to be together with Ian? Ian, didn't you tell Aunt Susan about having lunch here?"

Vivian looked at Ian, who had taken his seat opposite her.

Instead of responding, the latter's gaze shifted in Sigrun's direction. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Evidently, she was the one who arranged everything.

At that moment, she began to shirk her responsibility.

"1-1 thought that you had informed her. Since you haven't, I'll give her a call right now."

She took out her phone at once.

Nevertheless, Vivian was already annoyed. This is just Aunt Susan's first day at school, and we have already made such a careless mistake. What will she think when she finds out about it? She will definitely feel sad about it.

Getting to her feet, Vivian decided to pick Susan up herself.

The moment she left, Kurt naturally went with her, leaving Ian and Sigrun at the dining table.

"Ian, I..."

"Didn't she ask you to make reservations for lunch? Why didn't you do it?" Ian questioned with an indifferent look in his eyes.

Sigrun was surprised that he had brought up the Incident in the morning. She had assumed that he didn't care for it, just like many other things in his life.

Upon realizing he had clearly remembered the matter, her face lost all color.

"Ian, l-l'm sorry. I just thought that you had no intention of eating out, so I decided not to make reservations. After that, I assumed Vivi would have told her when she invited US here."

Subsequently, Silence ensued.

At that moment, Ian got to his feet as a grim look flashed in his eyes.

In the end, after Vivian found Susan, she and Kurt brought the latter to have lunch in the school cafeteria together.

Even though the simple dining environment wasn't as luxurious as that of Adalyn's place, the despair that Susan felt earlier eased a little at the warm gesture.

"Aunt Susan, you should come straight to me next time. Ian can't be bothered with anything and lets Sigrun run his affairs, just like a kid who hasn't grown up- Mmm..."

Before she could finish, Kurt had stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth, rendering her speechless.

Damn it, doesn't he realize that I'm speaking to Aunt Susan?

Susan continued to eat quietly.

Kurt, too, didn't say a word. It wasn't until Vivian left to wash her hands that he swept his gaze toward Susan, who was feeling down in the dumps.

"Sigrun is someone Old Mr. Jadeson found for him. Over the past half year, she has been taking care of him"

"In that case, what about him?" Susan finally asked.

When she raised her head to look at Kurt, he could see the ashen color of her face.

Kurt cocked a brow. "Him? How would I know?"

Susan was stumped.

"Perhaps, she has grown on him like how you did when you took care of him back then. Or maybe, he's just used to being under her care. Anyway, how could I know what's going through his mind?"

Kurt's tone was indifferent to the extent of sounding a little cold as if to express his exasperation over the question.

If she really wants to reconcile the relationship, what does the engagement matter? Is she just going to back off because of it? If that's what she thinks, I would prefer Sigrun to be with Ian for the rest of his life. At the very least, he will be a lot happier with someone who doesn't shy away in the face of obstacles.

Susan stared blankly at him as she didn't know how to describe her feelings. The only thing she felt was a growing sense of isolation.

Only then did she realize the complex emotions she previously felt were nothing compared to her current feelings.

That's right. How can I give up just because of this? They aren't even married yet, are they? As long as they aren't, I still have hope. I will show him that I'm the one that belongs in his heart.

Wiping the tears off her eyes, Susan began to wolf down her food.

When she saw Ian again in the afternoon, she noticed the apologetic look in his eyes even though he didn't bring up the matter of lunch.

"Next time, just come to me if you need anything."

"All right."

Susan felt better at once.

Over the next few days, she would travel back and forth between the Faculty of Accounting and the Faculty of Finance. Just as he promised, Ian would drop whatever he was doing whenever she came to see him.

Consequently, Susan was happy with how things were.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Sigrun.

"Grandpa, ever since Susan came, she keeps staying by Ian's side. Even though she's his aunt, she gets in my way of spending time with him. Are you able to somehow transfer her away from the university?"

"All right. I'll have it done right away."

Sympathizing with his granddaughter, Lucius Lightburn readily agreed to the request.

However, the moment he ended the call, his wife reminded him, "Susan is one of Louis Limmer's descendants and is someone of importance. Are you sure you want to mess with her?"

"What are you afraid of? Even if she's a member of the Limmer family, it's only in name as she doesn't hold any meaningful power. Besides, I'm not messing around with her. Can't I find her a better school than the one she's in now?"

Lucius didn't think much of the matter.q
