Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1487

Chapter 1487 I Am Back

It was already near the end of fall when Ichika finally returned to Avenport. “Darling, I’m back! I’m at the airport right now. Can you pick me up?”

The woman intentionally waited until she arrived in Avenport before calling Solomon to inform him of her return, for she wanted to surprise her husband.

After listening to Ichika over the phone, Solomon was stunned for a brief moment. “What? Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming home?”

“I want to surprise you. Aren’t you happy to hear that I’m finally home? Come get me at the airport now. I have brought so many gifts for you!” exclaimed Ichika with excitement.

However, the other end of the call was silent for a few seconds before Solomon informed coldly, “I’m at a meeting right now. I’ll have someone else pick you up.”

“Oh.” Upon hearing her husband’s response, Ichika lost her excitement. I thought for sure he was going to hurry over to see me.

Still, Ichika decided to be understanding and not make a big fuss out of it. The meeting is probably very important to him. I can understand.

After Ichika got home, she realized that Wendy was no longer staying at Frontier Bay, so she rolled her sleeves up and started to clean the house.

Ichika knew that she had been away for a long time, so to make up for her lengthy absence, she decided to tidy up the house and prepare a hearty meal for her husband.

In spite of all her effort, Solomon did not return home that evening, so she called him.

“Darling, are you still working?”

“Yeah. I still have a lot to do.”

From Solomon’s tone, Ichika could tell that her husband did not intend to go home any time soon, and that tore her apart. Why is he treating me this way? I’m finally home now. Shouldn’t he come back early to see me? I did my best not to bother him while he was at work, and I even prepared dinner. Is this not enough?

Broken-hearted, Ichika left the dining table and went straight into the bedroom after hanging up.

After some time, the woman inadvertently fell asleep and only half-opened her eyes when a figure entered the room.

The figure then stood beside the bed for a while without saying anything.
