Chapter 1456 Natalie George
“After we get it back, what then? Do we give it to Brandon? He didn’t even try to look for Willow. I don’t think he would want the child.”
“No. Brandon thought the child was not his. Willow deliberately told him that it was a test-tube baby before she left. That’s why Brandon didn’t try to contact her,” Sebastian explained.
Sasha stopped crying as she was dumbstruck.
She’s really mad!
Half an hour later, the couple did what the letter requested and departed. They did not tell Brandon about it. And all Solomon knew was that Willow had passed away due to complications during childbirth.
“Was she nuts? She knew she was pregnant, but why did she still want to move around? She wanted to end her life, didn’t she?”
Solomon was beyond exasperated after finding out the news.
Ichika did not dare to utter a word.
Only when Solomon had smashed several things in the house and slumped on the couch did Ichika walk over to him.
“Darling, don’t be sad. Willow had suffered too much. Maybe that’s why she chose this path. When we went to the concert that day, I saw those guards stopping her from seeing Brandon. Darling—”
“All right. I need some time alone,” Solomon cut her off in a hoarse voice.
Looking at Solomon’s red eyes, Ichika walked out of the room hesitantly.
It was the first time she had ever seen him like this.
It looks like Willow matters a lot to him. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have left her behind. If I had kept her company, she wouldn’t have ended up like this.
For the whole day, Ichika had sat on the staircase outside.
Two days later, it was finally Willow’s funeral. She would be buried at the best cemetery in Avenport.
Sasha had been down in dumps these few days. If it were not for the baby back at home who needed her care, she would have broken down by now.
“Mommy, is this girl Ms. Fischer’s child?”
Vivian came over and saw the baby in Sasha’s embrace.
Sasha nodded slightly, her face awfully pale. “Yes.”
Vivian touched the baby’s face gently and asked, “So will she stay with us from now on? Mommy, am I going to have a sister?”
Vivian was still a kid, after all. Even though she was sad when she found out that Willow, who used to accompany them, had passed away, she became happy after seeing the baby.
Indeed, a new birth represented the continuation of life.
That afternoon, Sasha had been sitting in the hanging garden on the second floor, staring at the baby girl until someone appeared outside the villa in the evening.
It turned out it was not Sebastian but Solomon, who had not visited for a long time.
“Nancy…” he called her name as soon as he spotted her in the garden.
Sasha, who was in a daze, turned around after a long while.
There is only one person left who will call me Nancy. The three of us used to be so close. And now, there are only two of us left.
“What are doing you here? Is the funeral over?”
She stared at Solomon, who was wearing a black suit with a white flower in front of his chest. The next moment, she shifted her gaze back to the baby in her embrace.
Indeed, Solomon had attended Willow’s funeral that afternoon.
In fact, he had been busy with this matter for the past two days. And because there were many things to deal with at the company, Sebastian had become the main leader for the time being.
Solomon stood in front of Sasha and observed her gently. “Nancy, you look tired. You should take care of yourself.”
“I know…”
Solomon looked at the baby in her arms.
Like Sasha, upon taking a closer look, he, too, was stunned.
She looks just like her mother. Look at those double eyelids, her tall nose, and those thin pink lips. Indeed, she has inherited the beauty of her mother perfectly.
“Isn’t she pretty?”
“She is!”
Solomon took off his glasses and looked elsewhere.
After they both recollected themselves, Solomon wore back his glasses and sat beside Sasha.
“Nancy, what are you going to do with this child? Are you going to give her to Brandon?”
“You know the child belongs to Brandon?”
Sasha looked at him in surprise.
Solomon nodded. “Of course. Even though Willow tended to mess around, she knew her limit. She’d probably said all that to piss Brandon off. She wanted him to stop thinking about her.”
“Yeah,” Sasha agreed, then looked at the baby again.
