    Chapter 1377 Losing Control


    Just then, a text from Sebastian came in: It’s likely. We should get that looked into.


    Sasha: Wow, Ichika! That’s so impressive! We didn’t even think of that possibility. Good job!


    This was immediately followed by a text from Sabrina containing no fewer than ten thumb-up emojis


    and a smiley face.


    Devin: That makes sense, actually. Good job.


    Solomon raised a brow at the multitude ofpliments showering down on Ichika, and a smile crept up


    his lips without his knowledge.


    Half an hourter, he heard light footsteps approaching his study. As he expected, it was his wife, who


    was carrying a bowl of soup.


    “Darling, I made some supper. Would you like some?” She smiled at him sweetly, her eyes bright and


    her tone joyous.


    This time, Solomon was aware of the smile he was wearing as he nodded.


    Two dayster, the results of the investigation were out. Ichika’s spection turned out to be true. The


    poisoned engineer, Hugh Giibson, had somehow gotten his hands on some preservatives that


    contained zinc, which he then used on the meat he brought from home in hopes of getting them tost


    longer. As a result, he ingested an overdose of zinc and got himself poisoned.


    It ended up being a ssic case of much ado about nothing.


    Sebastian was slightly annoyed and embarrassed to have taken this matter so seriously. Amused, his


    wife was quick tofort him.


    “Come on, don’t be so grumpy. It’s a good thing that it turned out to be something so trivial,” Sasha said


    catingly. “You should be happy that everything’s fine.”

    Sebastian huffed but said nothing, which Sasha considered as an agreement to what she said. She


    chuckled inwardly. He can be such a child sometimes.


    Just when everyone thought that the matter was concluded, the couple received an unexpected visit


    from Bertram Anderson, the director of the research institute.


    On behalf of the institute, he thanked them for their help in the investigation and apologized for causing


    such trouble in the first ce.


    Not only that, he hade bearing a gift—an exclusive invitation for the couple to visit Aurora Ind.


    Sasha’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Wow, seriously? Aurora Ind?”


    It was where the institute’s scientists conducted their most revolutionary research and experiments,


    some of which had led to changes in the ind’s surrounding atmosphere. As a result, one could


    observe some stunningly beautiful aurora lights on the ind, which was hence aptly named as such.


    Despite being one of the most fascinating ces in the world, Aurora Ind was strictly off-limits to


    outsiders, and a chance to go there was considered by many a once-in-a-lifetime urrence.


    Sasha was determined to seize the golden ticket. “Sebby, let’s go, shall we?” she wheedled in a


    sharine-sweet voice, hanging on to her husband’s arm and peering up at him through hershes. “I


    heard the ce has amazing sights. I want to go, please?”


    Sebastian was powerless in the face of her beseeching look, though he tried to maintain a facade of


    aloofness in front of the director.


    “It’s a ssified location, isn’t it? Are we allowed to go?”


    “Certainly.” Bertram smiled. “The ind is off-limits to the world, but such a rule doesn’t apply to you,


    Mr. Jadeson. You are wee to go whenever you like.”


    It was the ultimate privilege granted to the man, yet at the same time, what Bertram said was true.


    There was nowhere in this country that would deny entry to Sebastian since he was a Jadeson.


    To Sasha’s delight, her husband eventually epted the invitation to go to the ind. She shared the


    news in the Whatsapp group chat at once.


    Sasha: Guess what? Sebastian and I are going to Aurora Ind!


    Sabrina: What Aurora Ind?


    Devin: It’s where the research institute carries out its experiments, which frequently cause light


    anomalies in the air and result in aurora lights. I heard they are quite beautiful.


    In a matter of seconds, Sabrina, who had been holed up at Oceanic Estate for the past two months,


    made an executive decision.


    She texted: I demand that you take me with you!


    Upon seeing the message, Devin and Sebastian both had identical expressions of exasperation, a fact


    unbeknownst to the two men.


    Old Mr. Jadeson: That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll make a call.


    True to his word, Jonathan replied a short whileter to confirm that he had gotten the research


    institute to amodate for both Sabrina and Devin.


    Old Mr. Jadeson: The more, the merrier.


    As Sasha and Sabrina were excitedly chatting about travel preparations in the group chat, another


    message popped up.


    Ichika: Sha, is it okay that I go as well?


    Solomon, who saw the message, frowned in displeasure. What is she thinking? She can’t just go


    around making requests like that.


    It was the first time since their marriage that he became angry at Ichika.


    Though he was on rtively good terms with the members in the group chat, he could not shake off the


    feeling that he did not belong in their circle.


    He considered himself as the outsider of the group. Hence, it had embarrassed him when Ichika made


    such a request in what he deemed to be a casual manner.
