Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386 Blessing

“Darling? Where are you, Darling? Darling?”

Ichika searched for Solomon everywhere on the boat, looking extremely nervous. Others on the island who saw that would probably think Solomon had plunged to his death off the boat.

Solomon, who was standing on the deck, was utterly speechless. When he saw Ichika bending down to check if he was below the boat, he was all the more lost for words.

At this moment, Ichika looked up and met the man’s eyes. She ran toward him in a hurry and said, “Darling, you’re here. You scared me. I thought—”

“You thought I committed suicide?” Solomon’s expression turned grim.

Ichika immediately zipped her lip.

“N-No…”

“What are you doing here?”

Solomon withdrew his gaze from her and looked toward the fishing rod that he had put on the other side of the deck.

Ichika was stunned.

Oh, it turns out that Darling is fishing. I thought…

Ichika tiptoed toward Solomon like a timid child and stole glances at him from time to time. Inwardly, she was delighted to see that Soloman had calmed down.

“Um, Darling, Sebastian told us that there are a few tasks in the afternoon. We have to catch fish, collect firewood, and get some fruits and vegetables. In the end, we decided to draw lots, and we were assigned to collect firewood.”

Well, Ichika is indeed clever. She knew she couldn’t say that the bullies had assigned her the difficult task.

That’s why she made up an excuse, saying that she got the task by drawing lots.

Solomon turned to look at her, flabbergasted.

He had thought he would be isolated after what had happened, like a clown who was stripped off of his mask of hypocrisy.

He had also thought that the others would perceive him as the old Solomon, who was ruthless, ugly, and unforgivable.

But now…

“Darling, you don’t feel like going either, do you? No worries. If you don’t want to go, I’ll go alone. You can get some rest here.”

The man remained silent, and Ichika wasn’t sure if Solomon was delighted or furious.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Ichika lowered her head in disappointment.

I knew Darling wouldn’t agree to it.

Ichika stood up and was about to leave when Solomon said, “How did you draw the lots? Why didn’t you get fishing instead? Can’t you see I’m fishing now?”

“Huh?”

Ichika turned around upon hearing that and was startled as she gazed at Solomon.

“N-No, my brother-in-law was assigned to catch fish.”
