    Chapter 1323 Unintentional Kidnap


    “M-Mommy—”


    Jaena, who was crying, bawled her eyes out when she finally heard her mother’s voice.


    Sabrina felt a million swords piercing through her heart.


    She barged into the house and saw the woman carrying Jaena in her arms. Without hesitation, she


    snatched her daughter from the woman.


    “All right, all right. Mommy’s here. Let’s stop crying, okay?”


    Jaena’s sobbing started to fade as she felt Sabrina’s warmth.


    Her face was moist with tears, and her body was trembling incessantly.


    Sabrina seldom saw her in such a state as she was always an optimistic child who loved to smile.


    Sabrinaforted her until she calmed down. After a while, she fell asleep in Sabrina’s embrace.


    With that, Sabrina shifted her to one hand gently as she lifted her head and cast a ferocious re at the


    middle-aged woman in the house.


    “Why did you take her?”


    “N-No, it’s not like that! She kept following me. I took her to the pediatrics department, but no one


    seemed to know her. I feared she might get into trouble, so I brought her back here.”


    “I was there the whole time. I didn’t see you asking around.”


    Sabrina did not buy what she was being told.


    Ichika immediately walked over to ease the situation as she was worried they might wake Jaena.


    “Sabrina, let’s bring the kid back first. Just leave it to Mr. Akiyama. No matter what her intention was, Mr.


    Akiyama will handle her.”


    Her tone was utterly meek, but there was a sense of determination in her voice when she mentioned


    Solomon.


    As such, Sabrina recollected herself and left with Jaena.

    The middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that.


    Just when she thought all of them had left, Ichika came back into the house after a while.


    “You guys stay here and keep an eye on her. Wait for Mr. Akiyama toe here and handle her.”


    “Yes, Ms. Minamoto.”


    All the warriors bowed toward Ichika simultaneously after hearing her order. After all, she was most likely


    the future wife of Solomon.


    At that instance, the color drained from the woman’s face.


    “Why do you still need to keep an eye on me? I’ve returned the kid in one piece. Why would you keep


    me under watch like I’m some criminal?”


    “There’s indeed something suspicious about you,” Ichika responded indifferently. “Sabrina was right. You


    could have handed Jaena over to the pediatrics department. Even if you couldn’t find her parents, you


    shouldn’t have taken the kid home. That was wrong.”


    The woman was rendered speechless upon hearing that.


    “Besides, I have a little background in medicine. The way Jaena was crying just now seemed strange. I


    need to do a checkup on her before your suspicion can be lifted.”


    Indeed, Ichika had keen observation skills.


    She exined to the woman gently and politely, but her words caused thetter’s heart to plummet to


    her feet.


    How could this youngdy be so intelligent? How could she possibly notice that?


    With that, the woman paled in fright.


    …


    Soon after that, Ichika went back to thepany.


    Taylor asked upon seeing her, “Ichika, you’re back. So what happened? Did you find Ms. Sabrina’s kid?”


    “Yes. Everything is fine. Sorry for dying the work. Is there anything you need me to do now?”


    She disyed an apologetic smile.


    Taylor could not bear to me her.


    Not to mention, as she was newly hired, she did not have many ongoing tasks.


    The only task she got assigned was to follow up on some advertising projects.


    With that, Ichika carried a pile of documents and went out.


    “Ms. Minamoto?”


    When she got out of the nning department, she ran into Akiko, who had juste down from upstairs.


    Ichika had no choice but to stop in her tracks.


    “What is it, Akiko?”


    “Nothing. I just want to remind you that Mr. Akiyama won’t be happy that you stuck your nose into his


    business. You should know that he has no intention to marry you for now.”


    Ichika felt a blow to her heart upon hearing that.


    Indeed, he never said he would marry me. Not only that, but he has never once brought me to any


    important asions after I came here. He’s never exined to anybody about me either. At most, he


    only introduced me as the daughter of the Minamoto family when somebody asked.


    Upset, Ichika’s face fell.


    “is that so?”


    “Of course. That’s why you should ask your men toe back right away. If Mr. Akiyama finds out he still


    needs to handle some trivial matter after meeting the client, he will dislike you even more.”


    Ichika froze on the spot upon hearing Akiko’s advice.


    She pondered for a while and eventually nodded in agreement.
