Chapter 1355 The Person In His Sights
However, because she was a noble lady, the girl was not wearing just a white Jetroinian traditional outfit. Apart from the white clothes, she also had bright-colored accessories with intricate designs hanging on her, which were accessories worn by people with a distinguished status.
The style of her hair accessories also had the standard royal design—a tall bun with pearl flowers on it. Everyone couldn’t take their eyes off her after having seen her elegance.
“You’re gorgeous.”
“Yeah, so beautiful.”
“Yes!”
Even Ian, who wasn’t good with words, nodded in agreement, not to mention the entire crowd of guests.
Sasha also looked at her with a smile. Naturally, she was pretty satisfied.
To her, it wasn’t because of the beauty of the girl, but after she came out and saw a pair of big sparkling eyes nestled in the fair skin on her face, she couldn’t help but look away toward the gaze of the other men next to her from time to time.
It was a form of affection.
Only this girl could look full of joy in her eyes.
Therefore, Sasha was very satisfied.
“Mommy, I want to eat this.”
After seeing her beautiful aunt, Vivian, being the little glutton she was, began to eat again.
When Sasha heard her, she rubbed her little head and cut the fish in front of her.
The two of them, mother and daughter, enjoyed their meal.
However, in the quiet wedding, the people who cared about them overheard their conversation without them knowing. Thus, they shifted their gazes onto the two of them.
“Mr. Akiyama?” The emcee who was hosting the wedding ceremony called out to Solomon.
Ichika still had her head down from bowing. When she heard the name, she raised her head in surprise.
That was when she saw Solomon looking across the table gently.
Ichika was rendered speechless.
She had never seen Solomon looking at her like that. Ever since she knew him, he had always been cold and indifferent toward her, even if they were getting married.
He only treated her with respect and care, but she had never seen warmth in his eyes.
Ichika tightened her grip on her fan and followed the direction of his gaze only to realize that he was looking at the pair of mother and daughter. At that moment, Sasha was patiently slicing up fish for her daughter.
Sasha’s hair was plain and long, concealing her shoulders. She didn’t wear many accessories on her hair; there was only a pearl hairpin pinned to above her right ear. The woman dressed casually in a pink-colored long dress, which didn’t stand out in the crowd.
However, in Ichika’s eyes, Sasha was the most attractive person at the wedding.
Because, behind Sasha’s droopy eyelids, lay a trace of elegance and tenderness. No matter when she frowned or smiled, Ichika could visualize the radiance on Sasha’s face even without her raising her head, just like the portrait that had been hanging in the memorial hall of the Minamoto residence.
“Ms. Minamoto?”
“Huh?”
She panicked and retracted her gaze.
“What are you looking at? It’s time for us to meet your father.” Solomon reminded Ichika at that moment.
If only Ichika overlooked that minor detail that she saw, maybe, just maybe, she might have been delighted by Solomon’s expression and attitude. He was very initiative. However, that was something she never dared to yearn for before this.
But now, after she heard that, her joy faded away in an instant. Instead, she lowered her head as a hint of melancholy progressively throbbed in her chest. She finally realized that even though Solomon had agreed and was constantly being initiative, he didn’t have the slightest hint of being bashful, awkward, or embarrassed. His actions seemed more like he was complying with his responsibilities and cooperating eagerly with no fluctuation of emotions.
At long last, Ichika finished the ceremony with mixed emotions.
After the ceremony, she was sent back into her room. But the wedding was still going on. As a matter of fact, the wedding was at its peak.
“Devin, go ask your brother and his family to come over for a drink with Mr. Minamoto. We’ll be a family from now on, so let’s get to know each other.”
After three rounds of drinks, Jonathan, as the eldest, waved at Devin and Sebastian, gesturing them to bring their families over.
It was quite the royal treatment even though the marriage of the Jadesons wasn’t very significant.
Ichika’s dad quickly set the table with wine glasses and straightened his appearance while awaiting the two young couples to come over. Ichika’s grandfather did the same.
With that, Devin and his wife, along with Sebastian, also brought Sasha over.
Unexpectedly, when the four of them held up their wine glasses and were about to toast the two elders of the Minamoto family, Ichika’s grandfather suddenly shuddered when he saw Sasha.
“Judith?”
“What?”
Everyone, including Sasha and Sebastian, turned toward him.
What is this old man talking about?
