Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448 Has She Missed Something

“Darling, who is this Willow you and Sha were talking about? Did something happen to her?”

“Yeah, we knew her from our time in Clear. She’s currently expecting and is in the Emmanuel residence. Nancy went there this morning to check on her.”

Solomon didn’t try to hide the truth, opting to tell her about Willow’s relationship with them and her current situation.

What could be so bad, now that she’s pregnant?

Bless Ichika’s kind heart. Her face was instantly drawn with worry.

“Let’s head there now, Darling. She’s pregnant, and Sha said the Emmanuels are up to no good. What if something happens to her?”

This has nothing to do with her, yet she’s concerned about Willow as if Willow is her family. Clutching a broom in his hand, Solomon felt his heart squeeze with a sweet ache as he gazed down at Ichika.

What a naive little girl.

After Sebastian and Sasha flew to Jadeborough, Solomon drove to the Emmanuel residence that night.

He never planned to step foot inside, so he only gave Willow a call so she could come out, and he would see for himself that she was okay.

Just as his car pulled to a stop, he heard a loud bang from inside the villa, followed by a woman sobbing.

Willow?

Solomon’s face hardened, and he bolted out of the car, hearing an angry bellowing from the living room as he reached the front door. “You dare to cry when you ruined lunch today? Do you know how much effort it took for us to get Sebastian here? You have wrecked everything, and you’re crying?”

It was an older woman’s voice, and the weeping was very clearly coming from Willow.

Solomon sprinted in and caught sight of a matronly woman in a wheelchair raising a cane in the air, about to bring it down on Willow’s face, who was cradling her bulging midriff protectively.

He reached Willow in a flash and pulled her behind him, shielding her from the imminent blow.

Matilda demanded, “Who are you? Who let you in here?”

Instead of answering her, Solomon turned to ask the woman behind him, “Are you okay?”

Willow’s entire body was stinging with red welts. His question triggered her dam of emotions, and she broke down, collapsing in his arms and wailing, “Solomon… t-They are all bullying me.”

Her face was a mess of tears and snot, looking very much like a child.

Solomon remained stonily silent, taking a long moment to swallow the ball of rage in his throat.

Then, his hand reached out to pat Willow’s back reassuringly.

Solomon?
