Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1361

Chapter 1361 A Substitute

Nevertheless, Solomon did not question Ichika and simply let her do what she wanted.

That day, Ichika did not go to Frontier Bay.

No one suspected the reason she gave, except one particular person, who felt that something was amiss.

“So, you married him because you’re a stand-in for someone else, huh?” the woman sneered over the phone.

Upon hearing her vicious remark, all the color drained out of Ichika’s face. “No, I’m not!”

“Really? Then why did you call Mom last night? You must have upset Mom because you spied on Sasha. Stop acting, Ichika. You knew what it was all about since the day you realized that woman looked like Grandma,” Himari Minamoto continued to scoff.

Himari could not help it. She was utterly jealous of Ichika’s grand wedding in Terrandya.

We both come from the Minamoto family, but how come she got to enjoy such a privilege? Deep in Himari’s heart, she knew her wedding would never be as grand as Ichika’s, no matter who she would end up marrying.

There was intense hatred in Himari’s eyes as she spat, “Why? Did I say anything wrong? You two have not consummated your marriage, haven’t you?”

“Excuse me?” Ichika’s face became even more pallid.

That sarcastic remark caused Ichika to suffer an emotional breakdown.

In a daze, she accidentally cut her finger while slicing the vegetables. “Ouch!”

Blood started dripping off of her dainty fingers, and everyone around her was shocked.

“Oh dear, Ichika. How could you be so careless? We’re in a cooking class, so you have to stay focused.” The teacher went over to check her out.

At this point, Ichika was already crying profusely.

She could not remember what happened after the class. By the time she regained her composure, she was already standing outside of Hayes Corporation, looking up at the building with a dazed look on her face.

Upon noticing Ichika at the entrance, the security walked up to her and greeted, “Don’t you want to come in, Mrs. George? Mr. George is in the office now.”

The moment Ichika heard that, she started to freak out. She left in haste as if someone had found out about her wrongdoing.

At about four in the afternoon, Sasha texted in the group chat: Ichika, why didn’t you pick Vivi up today? She has been asking for you.

Solomon replied instead: She attended a cooking class today.

He replied swiftly, not because of Sasha but merely because he had his phone with him when he read the text.

Sasha replied: Oh, Okay. I’ll tell Vivi then. I’m sure she did this for you. You’ve married a virtuous wife, Solomon!

Sabrina texted: I know, right? I don’t even bother to attend any cooking classes.
