Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1415

Chapter 1415 Consumed By Jealousy

Sabrina remarked, “My God! We really are going to have dinner at their home. To be honest, other than during the wedding, I have never experienced a traditional Jetroinian family feast before.”

Sasha replied, “Me too.”

Vivian added, “What are we waiting for? Mommy, do I need to change into a beautiful dress?”

After some dilly-dallying, half an hour had passed by the time they left.

Given that Lance had never been to such a place before, he nervously stuck to Sasha’s side when he heard that they were going to have dinner at a noble family’s residence.

“Sha, what do I need to be mindful of over there?”

“Don’t worry. Ichika is there, so you’ll be fine,” Sasha reassured her cousin.

Only then did Lance begin to calm down.

After more than forty minutes, they arrived at the Minamoto residence to be greeted by Ichika and Solomon.

Furthermore, Solomon’s in-laws were also waiting at the door.

At the end of the day, they were reasonable people.

That evening, everyone had a blast at the dinner until Giichi’s other son-in-law arrived in the middle of it.

“Dad, aren’t you being too biased? I’m your son-in-law too. How could you just invite Mr. Akiyama to dinner and not me?” Itachi asked.

Dressed in a suit, he had arrived at the Minamoto residence to be greeted by the sight of the ongoing banquet.

As he crudely dragged Himari, who was dressed in a Jetroinian traditional outfit, into the hall, he walked up to Giichi and questioned him.

At that moment, tension began to creep into the atmosphere.

As for the smiling Ichika, her face turned pale as a sheet the moment she saw Himari.

“Mr. Nogita, it’s not that we didn’t invite you. It’s just that Akiyama and his family visited at a moment’s notice.”

Finally, Aoi tried to defuse the situation.

However, Itachi pressed his advantage the moment he heard it.

“All right, then. Mom, I came here on purpose to visit you today. Look at the presents I brought. Does it mean that I’m allowed to join you for dinner?”

Just as he spoke, he handed over two bottles of sake.

Aoi, Giichi, and everyone else were rendered speechless.

The atmosphere of the banquet became extremely incendiary, as if a minor spark would be enough to cause an explosion.

At the crucial moment, when Ichika caught a glimpse of Himari trembling with a pale expression, the person who was sitting beside her suddenly got to his feet.

“Darling?”

“Don’t worry,” Solomon reassured her after standing up.

After that, he calmly walked over.

“Don’t worry about it. You should continue eating. Didn’t your dad mention that he will take us to Ichigo River later? You have to fill your stomach, or else you won’t have the energy to go boat rowing later.”

Solomon coldly called out to Ichika to bring her attention back. After that, he served her a bowl of soup.

Only then did Ichika lower her head and drink it slowly.

Compared to her sister, she was a much kinder person.

Nevertheless, Himari continued to stare daggers at her, as if fury was raging within her.

“Ichigo River? Are you going there later?”

Just when she was drinking her soup, Ichika raised her gaze the moment she heard the question. She then asked with a hopeful tone, “Yes, Himari. Do you want to join us?”

Unexpectedly, Himari lost control of herself and shrieked, “How could you take them to Ichigo River? It’s a river within the royal palace’s inner courtyard. Only members of the royal family are allowed to visit. Even if Dad were to go there, he would have to seek permission from the royal family first before he could enter. So what makes them qualified to go in there?”

“I…”

“Dad has arranged this. Why? Is there a problem?”

A male voice plainly rang out.

At that very moment, tension descended upon the dinner table.
