Chapter 1357

She Sweetly Called Him Darling

After the wedding, everyone finally became quiet again.

Ichika followed Solomon to Avenport, and they both stayed in a hillside villa that Sabrina bought for
them. The villa wasn’t far from downtown and Frontier Bay. Thus, they could come over very often.

Initially, Sabrina wanted to take her daughter and return to Jadeborough with Devin after the wedding.

After all, she was married to the Jadesons, and it wouldn’t be nice to keep staying with her parents.

But when she was just about to leave, she received news from Frontier Bay. She was told that Ian
wanted to go to the research institute. After hearing the news, Sebastian and Sasha decided to go
together as a family.

Damn it. Now the whole family is going?

Sabrina hurried over to Sasha as soon as she heard it.

“What’s going on? Why is Ian going to that place out of a sudden? Aren’t you worried at all?” She
grabbed Sasha by the shoulders and interrogated her.

However, Sasha had already made peace with Ian’s decision. Thus, she smiled and replied, “That’s
right. But he said that he wants to learn, and he’s interested. So his father and I decided to not stop
him.”

“Then why are you all going too? To keep him company? Why is this such a big deal?”

“Uhm.”

Looking at the agitated Sabrina, Sasha didn’t know how to explain it to her for a moment.



Sasha also thought it was ridiculous when Sebastian first brought up this matter. It was okay to keep
Ian company, but it wasn’t really necessary to all go with him.

Soon, Sebastian came over with a map in his hand and explained that the research institute wasn’t
located in any ordinary city but on an island. Nobody knew about it because it was a highly classified
location by the country.

“So, as Sebastian said, since we’re going there, and I need to take a break, it’s better to stay there for a
while.”

“The heck!”

Apart from being envious, Sabrina was bitter.

She was annoyed that her husband was dense and that Sasha’s husband was romantic and
considerate enough to even think of taking his wife with him to recuperate, even when he was only
going to accompany his son.

At that, Sabrina could only go back angrily while she contemplated her miserable life.

Two days later, she returned to Jadeborough with Devin and their kids. Sasha and Sebastian were also
about to go to Avenport with the triplets and to send Ian to the research institute.

Ichika heard about the news at home. That night, she waited for Solomon to come home then headed
to the study to ask him about this.

She wore a pair of fuzzy slippers and a cute headband with cat ears over her thick curly hair. After
seeing Solomon in the study, she said affectionately, “Darling, I heard that Sha and the rest are heading
to the research institute tomorrow with Ian. Should we send them off?”

That was the nickname she had used for the past two days.



Since they were married, she thought that she should no longer address her husband as “Mr.
Akiyama.” Therefore, in the future, she would happily address him as “Darling.”

However, Solomon, who was still typing away on the computer, felt a sudden discomfort after hearing
how she was calling him. Even his fingers that were clacking away on the keyboard froze.

Ichika looked at him with a pair of dark watery eyes.

“No. I have a meeting tomorrow morning, and you can’t drive. They won’t be staying there for long
anyway.”

“Okay.” Ichika obediently agreed.

Not long after she turned around and left, Solomon heard sounds of movements from the kitchen
downstairs.

Solomon sighed.

He didn’t like the feeling of suddenly having another person in his quiet home.

Suddenly having things that didn’t belong to him in his home after living alone for thirty years was
challenging for him to adapt to.

For example, when he came home from work, he would only see his array of dark shoes in the shoe
cabinet. Suddenly, there were pink-colored shoes now. Moreover, those pink shoes looked
exceptionally ridiculous. Some shoes were furry and shaped like a rabbit, and some were shaped like a
puppy with ears drooping off the sides.

These things forced their way into his life so hard that every time he came home, he would hesitate to
open the shoe cabinet, worrying that he might lay his eyes on something even more outrageous after



opening it.

Also, the furnishings, toiletries, and more.

Although they didn’t share a room, he could always notice something extra in his bedroom whenever
he came home.

For example, the bathroom would suddenly have a pink rinsing cup and pink toilet paper. And every
time he pulled a sheet of toilet paper, he would notice that it wasn’t just plain ol’ toilet paper. They
would have various anime characters printed on them.

It was ridiculous!

“Darling, I cooked supper. It’s udon. I also added fried shrimp and salmon in it.” Ichika’s voice echoed
from the floor below. Then, a series of happy footsteps ran up the stairs. And not long after, Solomon,
who only managed to be busy for a short moment, laid his eyes on Ichika with a pair of cat ears on her
head. Here she comes again.

She ran in, holding a small stone pot in her hands, accompanied by her sweet, radiant smile on her
little round face.

For some reason, Solomon was annoyed.

Why does she like to torment me so much? What time is it already? Can’t you just go and rest quietly?

He finally got impatient. “I don’t have the habit of eating supper. Take it away.”

“Oh?”

After hearing that, Ichika, who had just put down the pot, suddenly looked dejected, and the smile on
her small face crumbled.
