Chapter 1379

His Mind Went Blank

His face paled as he recalled what happened the previous night. Without hesitation, he got out of the
bathroom and went to open the door.

“Wendy, what are you doing here?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Solomon. Vivi insisted on seeing Ms. Minamoto, so I had no choice but to bring her here.
Ms. Minamoto went to see her off, so I stayed to prepare breakfast for you,” Wendy explained to
Solomon apologetically.

I see. So she only went to see Vivian off.

Solomon let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

Returning to the bedroom, he started freshening himself up diligently. And by the time he almost
finished eating, Ichika came back.

“Ms. Minamoto, you’re back.”

“Yes. Vivi is at the school already. Wendy, thanks for preparing breakfast for my husband.”

Ichika, dressed in a purple dress, got out of the minivan. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun. At first
impression, she looked extremely adorable.

Wendy was already waiting for her in the garden.

Upon hearing Ichika’s words, Wendy flashed her a smile. “I should be the one thanking you. I keep
troubling you with Vivi. Oh, you bought groceries too?”



“Yes, I walked past the market and saw my husband’s favorite broccoli. I even bought some meat. I’m
gonna cook for him today.” Ichika grinned.

Inside the villa, Solomon felt as though someone had slapped him in the face.

At that moment, his heart was filled with guilty and remorse.

He could not believe he had got mad at her for such a small matter.

And to his befuddlement, Ichika acted as though nothing had happened. She even went to the market
to buy groceries to cook for him.

Solomon turned his gaze away and went back inside.

After a while, he heard familiar footsteps behind him.

The young woman stopped at the door.

“Darling, good morning,” she greeted him gently with caution.

Solomon, wearing a formal coat, turned around and stared at Ichika, who seemed nervous.

“I’ll arrange two housemaids to come over. Just leave it to the housemaids in the future.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing that, Ichika widened her eyes, and they began to turn misty.

“Darling, am I not good enough?” She almost burst into tears again.

Solomon was surprised.

Not at all. That’s not what I meant. I merely want…



He immediately realized what he had done wrong. Ichika came from a country where women were
honored to take care of their men when they got married. Hence, hiring a housemaid would mean that
the wife was not doing a good job.

“Not at all. Please don’t get me wrong. I’m just worried that you’re tired, so I wanted to hire two more
people to help you out. You can leave works like cleaning and shopping to them,” he explained in
frustration.

Only then did Ichika wipe the tears off her face.

“I’m not tired at all. This is what I love to do. But anyway, thanks, darling.”

After expressing her thoughts, she went into the kitchen with the groceries in her hands.

Solomon said nothing.

He was never defeated by any problem, not even the most complicated business matter in the
company. Yet, a woman had managed to make him speechless.

Eventually, he headed toward the company.

There had been all sorts of meetings throughout the day. By the time he stepped into his office, it was
almost time to get off work.

Sasha: Ichika, why aren’t you going anymore? I’ve talked to Mr. Anderson. He said it was merely a
spaceport and there was no big secret. You can come if you want.

Sabrina: That’s right. The more the merrier.

Ichika: It’s okay. I forgot that I still got classes. Sha, sorry for the inconvenience.



It was the chat history that morning, where everyone was still talking about Aurora Island.

Only this time, to everyone’s surprise, Ichika suddenly took back her words. She apologized politely
and then gave a reasonable excuse.

Solomon clenched his fist slightly.

A few minutes later, he clicked into the group chat.

Solomon: Will it really be all right if Ichika tag along?

Sebastian responded after two minutes: Of course, it’s okay. It’s just a deserted island.

His response was brief but straight to the point.
