Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1370

Chapter 1370 The Paranoid Jadesons

“Ms. Ichika, when will Mrs. Minamoto and Ms. Himari be arriving? I plan to begin with the preparations.”

“Huh?” Finally, Ichika raised her head and turned to look at Wendy.

The Minamotos had been invited to Frontier Bay for dinner that day. Since Sasha and the rest weren’t present, Wendy had done an excellent job welcoming their Jetroinian guests on behalf of the Hayeses.

Naturally, Rufus, Jackson, and Sharon would be present too.

“All right, let me make a phone call to ask them about it,” Ichika replied as she rose to her feet.

She fished her phone out and prepared to call her husband. Yet, Ichika changed her mind when she caught sight of the endless wave of messages in the chat group. With a purse of her lips, Ichika called her mother.

“Should we wait for Mr. Akiyama?”

Aoi was situated at Hillside Villa when she received Ichika’s call. Upon hearing her daughter’s question, Aoi hesitated.

When Himari heard this, she quickly cajoled, “Mom, let’s head there now. If we wait for Mr. Akiyama, we’ll have to wait until he finishes his work so that he can fetch us there. Let’s not cause him any more trouble.”

Himari was eager to leave as soon as possible. After all, she heard that her cousin-in-law was the president of the Hayes Corporation. Furthermore, it was rumored that he was one of the wealthiest men in Avenport.

Himari was burning with curiosity. I wonder, how will his house look like?

She vividly remembered the wedding too. Although the couple was dressed in simple attire, their poised and elegant mannerisms outshone everyone else and made them the stars of the event.

Moreover, her cousin-in-law had been the one who paid for the wedding’s private jet and luxury limousine.

Swayed by her daughter’s pleas, Aoi decided to head there first.

When Wendy heard this, she made a quick phone call to inform Rufus and Jackson. After her call, it didn’t take long for them to arrive.

“When will they be arriving?”

“It shouldn’t take long for them to arrive. I apologize, Mr. Wand. I have not sent an invitation to the Hayes family. Since Mr. Hayes and Madam aren’t home, it will be inconvenient to host a large event. Tonight, I’ll have to ask for your help to entertain our distinguished guests,” Wendy explained with an apologetic look.

Rufus merely smiled good-naturedly. “Don’t apologize. It is our duty to entertain the guests too. You have planned everything out very thoughtfully. Besides, Sharon will be present tonight.”

Rufus mentioned Sharon on purpose.

In truth, Sharon was a complicated person. The woman, who married into the Blackwood family, hailed from a family of studious scholars and was thus well-educated.

Despite her complex character, Sharon was an excellent host. Hence, she was more than capable of keeping a few guests entertained throughout dinner.

After everyone gathered, they waited for the arrival of Aoi and Himari.

Similarly, Ichika was also waiting for someone else.

She stood at the entrance of Royal Court One, eagerly anticipating the man’s arrival.

After her earlier phone call, she couldn’t help but send him a quick message. In Ichika’s text, she told him that her mom and sister would be attending the dinner too and implored him to return a little earlier.

Ichika glanced at her phone again.

Sabrina: Aren’t you guys blowing this out of proportion? How did this become a murder? Are you guys delusional?
