Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376 Unexpectedly Impressive

Ichika, too, saw the news the next day.

Fraught with concern, she immediately called to check on her family. Unfortunately, her calls went unanswered, which only worried her more. What’s going on? Where’s Mom?

“Ichika,” Solomon called from downstairs. “Where are you?”

“Oh!” She hurried down in her pajamas. “Sorry, Darling. I was preoccupied with something and haven’t started making breakfast yet… Let me do that now.”

In Jetroina, it was customary for the wife of the newlyweds to take care of her husband by preparing meals. Solomon, however, did not seem to care about such traditions.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll just have something at the office,” he told her gently. “Are you preoccupied with what happened to your sister?”

“Yeah…” Ichika chewed her lip in slight distress. “There must be a misunderstanding. My sister… She’s not like that, I’m sure. My family didn’t raise us to be like that.”

She was saying this not only to defend Himari but also to maintain her family’s honor. After all, her upbringing had taught her that the Minamoto family name was everything and that she should never let anything or anyone tarnish it.

Solomon’s expression was unreadable. “Ichika,” he said slowly, “You have to learn to see the true nature of one’s character. Unfortunately, not everyone in this world is as nice as you make out to be.”

“Oh…” His wife blinked, looking at him with bewildered eyes.

She waited to see if her husband had more to say, but the man simply left it at that. He got up and headed toward the door, ready to set off for work.

“What’s your plan for the day?” he asked casually.

“Vivi and Matteo don’t need me at Frontier Bay, so I might just stay at home today,” Ichika said, tilting her head in incomprehension. “Why do you ask?”

“In that case, why don’t you come to the office with me?” her husband offered. “My secretary is on leave today. I could use some help in the office.”

Ichika perked up immediately. “Really? I would love to!” A smile blossomed on her face as she nodded profusely.
