Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Mona: Vivi, I heard you're celebrating your birthday tomorrow. I'm so excited! Can I attend your birthday party?

Chris: Vivi, I heard it's your birthday tomorrow. I've prepared a birthday present for you. I'll give it to you tomorrow.

Vivian was overwhelmed when dozens of unread messages from her classmates and friends popped up on the

screen.

She knew people in Yartran loved to attend various types of parties and gatherings. However, she was utterly

speechless at the sight of all the messages requesting her invitation to her birthday party. My goodness! How can I

invite all of them? I bet all of us will be packed in like sardines in my small villa!

She finally shortlisted seven classmates with whom she was more familiar to attend her birthday party.

After washing up, she was about to leave and head back to her villa for preparation. The moment she went down, a

tall and good-looking young man with a bouquet of flowers in his hands came into view.

“Vivi, happy birthday!” he wished her blissfully at once.

Vivian's face was flushed red instantaneously. She blurted out, “Ah? Dwayne, why are you here?”

“I'm sorry. I didn't give you a call yesterday as I was too busy. Ah! Fortunately, I'm in time to be here! My Princess,

I'm here to send this bouquet and birthday present to you. Happy birthday!” Dwayne handed the presents to her

eagerly. There were flickers of charming smiles in his pair of unique blue eyes.

In an instant, it whipped up everyone in the female dorm.

“Good gracious! Isn't he Dwayne? Look! He's here to send our junior a bouquet!” the girls squealed excitedly.

Covering their mouths, they gazed at Vivian and Dwayne in disbelief. There were complex emotions of envy,

jealousy, and sheer agitation in their eyes.

Dwayne had been basking in the limelight in their school. He had a captivating good look and was from a prominent

family. Apart from that, he excelled in his studies and had been the president of the students' union all the while.

Needless to say, the girls tended to fall head over heels for him.

Nonetheless, they were taken aback by Vivian's response. There was not the slightest bit of joy on her face when

Dwayne handed her the bouquet and birthday present. In fact, there was even a frown on her dainty face.

Seconds later, she turned him down. “Dwayne, thanks for your flowers and present. But I can't accept them. Please

excuse me. I need to go home first as I have something on.”

The next moment, she walked past him and left.

All the girls who poked their heads out from the female dorm to observe them were dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Dwayne blushed crimson as he remained rooted to the spot. He had never experienced such an

embarrassing moment before! It was the first time someone had turned him down. Not to mention, he was

rejected in front of everyone!

Bottling up his embarrassment, he tightened his grip around the flowers and present in his hands.

Back in her villa, Vivian spent a long time on the preparation before her birthday party.

Sebastian had bought her the villa when she first came to Yartran. Even so, it was in a relatively secluded area.

Sebastian chose it so she would not attract unintentional attention in school.

As her friends and classmates were going over to attend her birthday party, she even tried to clean up the mini

garden outside the villa before the arrival of her guests.

“Ms. Vivian, just let me deal with that. You shouldn't be doing all these by yourself.” One of the housemaids tried to

stop her.

The two housemaids had been taking care of her in the villa throughout the three years. They felt bad when Vivian

was busy making preparation by herself.

Even so, she shook her head. “It's all right. I'm fine with doing it by myself.” After that, she continued with her task.

Later, Sonia reached first in the afternoon with a few young girls.

They could not resist but gasp when the villa came into view. It never came across their minds that Vivian was

staying at such a beautiful villa.

They were mesmerized by the lavishly designed villa. Even though it was not really big, the design of its outer part

and the surroundings indicated that it was not affordable for everyone.

“Ah! So Vivi is just like a real princess, isn't she?” one of the girls joked.

“Of course. Don't you know that the haughty Helena loves to mock and humiliates Vivi every day? Even so, Vivi

never bothers to retort her words. Apparently, she is just being low-profile,” the girl alongside her commented.

“Yeah, it seems her family is as rich as Helena's!” another girl echoed.

A few of them were close with Vivian in school. Thus, they were happy for her to be able to stay at such a fancy

villa.

When Vivian stepped out of the villa and saw them, she was over the moon.

“Sonia, Mona, you're here! Come in now!” She welcomed them with open arms and invited them into the villa.

When they stepped into the villa, their eyes lit up at what came into sight. Instead of being luxuriously designed as

expected by them, a simple elegance was incorporated into the interior design. The unique lavishness amid the

low-key style of the villa gave them a cozy feel.

Vivian led them to the living room and asked eagerly, “I've spent a long time decorating the place. What do you

think about it?”

“Quite nice, but you need to add on more balloons. Oh yeah, Vivi, I know how to bake. I'll bake a birthday cake for

you, okay?” Mona replied cheerfully.

“My goodness! Are you really going to bake me one?” Vivian was on cloud nine.

Undoubtedly, all the girls in Yartran looked capable in general.

After a while, the girls started to help Vivian with her preparation before the arrival of the other guests. Other than

Mona, who volunteered to bake cakes, the rest prepared fruit salad and assisted Vivian with the decorations.

Shortly after, the whole villa was shrouded by blissfulness and warmth amid the girls' giggles.
