Chapter 1362


    Chapter 1362 Blushing


    Heavy footfalls sounded as Ichika raced down the stairs.


    She came to a stop and saw a man still dressed in casual wear helping the kids to carry in the items.


    “Aunt Ichika, we’re having a fashion show today. Are you going to watch us?” Right away, a perceptive


    Vivian noticed Ichika spying at them, still in her pajamas.


    Ichika was stunned speechless and didn’t utter a response.


    Before she could hide, the man in the garden had heard Vivian and nced toward them.

    “You’re awake. Breakfast is ready in the kitchen. Freshen up and have some.”


    “What?” With a head still muddled with sleep, Ichika’s eyes widenedically like saucers.


    He made me breakfast?


    Oh, my goodness!


    My husband actually made me breakfast.


    That simple gesture had instantly mended her broken heart from the night before, and her face lit up


    with joy, her eyes sparkling like the stars in the night sky.


    “Okay, Darling,” she answered meekly before turning to skip away.


    A girl like her was pure and innocent. She was easily hurt, but conversely, it was easy to cajole her, too.


    It was like giving candy to a kid. With a few coaxing words, she would be right as rain in no time.


    That day, Ichika had been particrly active on WhatsApp.


    She had been taking pictures and sending them to the group chat, giving tips on how to strut on the


    catwalk to the girls, and taking selfies with everyone.


    Sasha chortled as she scrolled through the messages. “Ichika finally sent some pictures. It was strange


    that she had been on radio silence these two days.”


    Not far away, a man who was sprawled on a chair reading a book observed her quietly.


    He couldn’t be bothered to remind her because he was of the same mind as Sasha. As long as Ichika


    didn’t harbor ill intentions, all was good with him.


    He would turn a blind eye to anything else.


    Everyone’s lives returned to normal, and Ichika in Avenport got closer with Solomon under the same


    roof.


    One morning, after Solomon had finished his breakfast made by Ichika, she stopped by his side


    abruptly with bright, hopeful eyes and blurted, “Darling… my mom said she ising to visit me. Is that


    okay?”


    Solomon’s hands stilled while he was cleaning up the table.


    “When is sheing?”


    “These two days, if you’re okay with it.” Ichika sounded hesitant, afraid that he would disapprove.


    As per the customs in Jetroina, if one wanted to visit a son-inw’s home, his permission was needed,


    no matter if the mother-inw was an elder. Unexpected guests were considered impolite.


    Solomon was conflicted.


    After all, he was so used to living alone that it took him close to two months to habituate himself living


    with Ichika.


    And now my mother-inw is showing up…


    “Okay, I’ll book the tickets for her.” In the end, he chose to be a filial son-inw and arranged for the


    trip.


    Ichika almost burst with joy.


    “Thank you so much, Darling! You’re the best!” Impulsively, she took a few steps forward and rose on


    her tiptoe before pressing a kiss on his cheek.


    For a moment, deep silence hung in the air, and every sound was suddenly stilled. All that was left was


    the two people who stood there. One of them picked up a frantic heartbeat while the other was


    motionless.


    It was as if they were frozen.


    Oh, no, is he mad? Was I too reckless?


    Bright red splotches appeared on Ichika’s cheeks. As reality started to creep in, her thoughts were in


    disarray, and remorse gued her.


    “Darling, I-I…”


    “All right, you should go tidy up the room for your mother. I’ll be heading off to work now,” Solomon


    interrupted.


    Then, he took a handful of dishes and cutleries to the kitchen before grabbing his keys and driving off.


    Ichika was silent the entire time.


    What does he mean by that?


    He didn’t seem to have much of a reaction. Does this mean he’s angry?


    Her thoughts started to run amok, and she felt bad after Solomon left with unnatural calmness.


    Does his impassivity toward my kiss mean he doesn’t have feelings for me? A little temper tantrum


    would have been fine by me, too.


    Puzzled, her brows knitted together.


    What Ichika didn’t know was the man who had just left had done so with quickened steps. He was


    usually a calm and steady person, but all he wanted to do at that moment was to flee.


    In Frontier Bay, Wendy found out from Vivian’s loose lips that Ichika’s mother was paying a visit.


    Startled by the news, she failed to keep the information to herself. In the end, the Hayeses found out


    about it, too.


    Sasha texted: Her mom ising? Should we go back?
