Chapter 1424

Acting Rashly

Rufus concurred, “You’re right.”

He, too, agreed with Jonathan’s assessment.

Following behind them, Sasha couldn’t help but have mixed feelings.

Sensing her ambivalence, Sebastian asked, “What’s wrong? Are you upset that they are comparing her
to your grandma?”



Sasha blushed at once.



She wasn’t unhappy about it. She just felt that it was a shame that she wasn’t as capable as they were.

“Everyone has their own strengths. You won’t have what she has, while she doesn’t have what you do.
Therefore, comparisons are pointless. In my heart, you are already the best.”



Hearing his sweet words, Sasha couldn’t help but blush.

“Really?”



Sasha lowered her head to avert her gaze from Sebastian, her ears reddening.



After all, it was rare for him to whisper sweet nothings to her.

Given his proud and egoistic character, he would prove his love to her through his actions. Therefore,
he had barely spoilt her with sweet talk ever since they met.

Sasha suddenly noticed that Sebastian, who was carrying Vivian on his back, had stopped in his tracks
abruptly.

“Hmm?”

Not paying attention, she almost walked right into him.

However, just before she regained her senses, Sebastian turned around. Looking down at her with his
dark obsidian eyes, he burst into hearty laughter.

“That’s right. Look, who else is as foolish as you are?”

“You…”

Sasha flew into a rage.

However, she broke into a smile in the end when her heart was melted by his affectionate gaze.

That night, everyone stayed in a hotel in the vicinity of the hot springs.

As there were three couples within the group, Aoi had booked five rooms. Each of the couples would
have one room to themselves, while Jonathan would share one with the two boys. As for the last room,
it would be occupied by Rufus and Lance.

With regards to Vivian, she would naturally sleep with Sasha in her room. After all, it was a double
room.



Meanwhile, when Ichika and Solomon arrived in their room, both of them behaved awkwardly. No one
knew how embarrassed they felt when they regained their senses at the hot spring.

“D-Darling, why don’t you sleep on the bed? I’ll take the couch,” Ichika anxiously suggested after
sensing Solomon’s awkwardness.

She had hoped to defuse the tension in the air.

Just as expected, Solomon didn’t respond to what she said.

Nevertheless, he was visibly more relaxed than before.

However, Ichika couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Even though she was the one who suggested it,
she still wished for him to object. After all, they had already made love to each other.

Unfortunately, he didn’t say anything about it.

It wasn’t until she grabbed her towel and headed for the bathroom that she noticed there wasn’t any
movement outside.

Is he not mentally prepared? After all, he has just recovered, and Dr. Wallen has instructed him to take
it slow.

With that thought in mind, Ichika wasn’t as upset as before.

However, the moment she turned on the shower and bathed under the flowing water, she let out a
scream.

When Solomon, who was in the room outside, heard the sound, he turned to look in the direction of the
bathroom. “What’s going on?”



However, the bathroom seemed to have fallen silent after the sound of the shower had stopped. After a
long while, there didn’t seem to be any movement.

Solomon was stumped.

After hesitating briefly, he decided to check it out.

“Ichika? What happened? Why did you stop showering? Are you all right?”

“Darling, it hurts.”

Finally, Ichika said something. However, her soft and pitiful tone made his heart ache.

Hurts?

Solomon’s expression drastically changed.

Without any hesitation, he opened the bathroom door and hurried inside.

The moment he entered, he was greeted by a sensuous figure standing inside. Staring at her flawless
skin and alluring curves, he was mesmerized by what he saw.

“Ichika, you…”

He turned his head away at once, thinking that she was going to react the same way as she did in the
hot spring.

However, right after he spoke, he heard the glass door slam shut. Ichika locked herself inside and
began to cry in frustration.

“Darling, I… I didn’t do it on purpose. It really hurts… It’s also broken…”



A few minutes later, Solomon finally covered Ichika with a towel and carried her out to the bathroom
countertop. After struggling with himself for a long time, he bent down in front of her and awkwardly
looked at where she complained the pain was coming from.

It looks serious indeed.

Back at the hot spring, he was utterly consumed by the heavy mist. Consequently, he unleashed all the
lust he had upon her.

How long did I torment her for?

He could no longer remember. By the time he regained his senses, he had pinned her against a
boulder. Her face was covered in tears while she was on the brink of losing her consciousness.

This is all my fault.

Solomon reprimanded himself before standing up. “In that case, you should wait here. I’ll get some
medication for you.”

When Ichika lifted her face, her cheeks were flushing red.
