Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1441

Chapter 1441 Heritage

That night, not only did Solomon and Ichika arrive late, Sebastian and Sasha from Frontier Bay were also late for the New Year’s Eve banquet at the Hayes Residence.

In the end, the Hayeses could only wait.

By the time they arrived, it was almost eight. Saul hurriedly instructed to serve the roast beef, wine and other delicacies prepared earlier.

“Sebastian, let’s go to the attic.”

“Okay.”

Sebastian, who was in an especially good mood, nodded and glanced behind him.

Solomon, who was also watching next to him, understood and followed behind him.

The memorial hall of the Hayeses was forbidden to most people. Back when Frederick was around, only one member of each family from Frederick and his two brothers could enter. It was a rule passed down by the forefathers of the Hayes family.

Saul brought the two of them to the attic.

“Let’s wash our hands first,” he said while looking toward the wooden basin outside the attic.

Sebastian, who was used to it, casually wetted his hands in the water and entered the attic. Solomon had a look at him and cleaned his hands thoroughly in the water.

As they walked in, they could see portrait paintings hanging all over the walls on the memorial hall and the place was already illuminated by candles. There was an oil lamp on the table in the middle of the hall and there were also candle racks.

Solomon stopped in his steps as he wasn’t used to it; he had never been to this place since childhood.

He felt a sudden sense of belonging but was nervous and unsettling at the same time. It felt as though a wandering soul that stumbled upon a sacred church.

Shortly, the two of them inside noticed him dazing off.

“Come, Solomon,” Saul called out to him.

Solomon quickly moved his feet and hurried in.

He received the candle and lit it. Under Saul’s directions, the two of them placed the candles in one of the racks on the table.

Saul walked over to the side and stood in front of a portrait. “Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, it’s New Year’s Eve today, and we’re all back to see you. This is Sebastian, and that is Solomon.”

Sebastian grew up in this household, and he went through this process every year. Thus, he was unconcerned by what Saul was murmuring.
