Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1371

Chapter 1371 Sweet Relationship

When Solomon arrived at Frontier Bay after work, dinner had begun without him.

Dinner was a small affair with only a handful of attendees.

Since Sebastian and Sasha were not present, it was held in the dining room. Even from afar, Solomon heard the faint sounds of bright laughter and cheery banter.

‘Mrs. Minamoto, we’d be pleased if Mr. Minamoto can come along next time. After all, we are all close relatives. Sasha’s mom is Mr. Minamoto’s younger stepsister. Your family should visit us more often,” Rufus said with a beam.

“That’s right. We are all one big family, so you don’t have to feel shy or embarrassed,” Jackson chimed in to show his support.

In truth, they all shared a very special relationship with each other.

Since Heather was adopted by the Blackwood family, they displayed their generous hospitality by extending an invitation to her older stepbrother.

Aoi was touched to hear their welcoming words.

“All right, I will tell my husband about it when I get home. I can’t thank you enough for your invitation,” she replied with a grateful smile.

Similarly, Himari was also delighted at Rufus and Jackson’s invitation. “It looks like our families have gotten even closer.” Quickly, she stood up and poured a glass of wine for Rufus.

Pleased by Himari’s politeness, Rufus sang praises about her courteous mannerisms.

When Ichika and Wendy emerged with the dishes, a frown graced the former’s forehead when she saw the scene before her.

Nonetheless, Ichika did not dwell on it any longer because a tall man making his way to the dining room had caught her attention.

“Darling, you’re back!” Ichika’s eyes lit up with joy. Swiftly, she placed the dishes down and hurried toward the man.

When the others heard Ichika’s enthusiastic greeting, they whirled around and saw Solomon’s arrival. They were all pleased to see him too.

Himari was still trying to gain Rufus’ favor when she noticed Solomon and Ichika’s intimate display of affection.

Immediately, a dark expression loomed over her face.

“Darling, dinner has been served. Are you going to take a shower before your meal? If you want to do so, I’ll go upstairs and run you a bath first,” Ichika eagerly asked as she clutched Solomon’s briefcase in her arms.

Upon Solomon’s arrival, Ichika had forgotten all of her earlier worries. Right now, she only had eyes for Solomon.

Hearing that, Solomon paused.

Although he had grown used to Ichika’s affection, Solomon found himself growing awkward as they were in the public eye.

“I’m going to have dinner first. Why don’t you go and keep my briefcase?” Solomon said casually as he averted his gaze from her bright brown eyes.

Immediately, Ichika agreed without hesitation.

With that, he headed to the dinner table while Ichika went upstairs to put his briefcase away.

“Solomon, you are finally here. Come and take a seat! We’ve been waiting for you.” Rufus beckoned him over with a hearty wave and gestured at the two empty seats.
