Chapter 1486 Her Beauty
At that moment, Solomon was unsure how to best describe his feelings.
It was as if he was suddenly thrown into the darkness when he had already gotten used to living under the sunlight. He felt like a baby fed with bitter medicine right after he had tasted sweetness for the first time, like someone enjoying the warmth of a spring day being pushed into the harsh coldness of winter.
The harshness seemed familiar, but Solomon was no longer used to it.
“What’s wrong, Darling? You don’t look so good. Are you not feeling well?” inquired Ichika concernedly as she hurried over to Solomon. The woman finally noticed that something was off with her husband.
Pale as a sheet, Solomon lifted his head to look at his beautiful wife. “Ichika, what plans do you have for the future?”
“What?” The woman was dumbfounded by her husband’s odd question. My plans for the future?
Even though she did not know what Solomon was getting at, she had decided to give the question some thought. “I guess my plan is to take care of you for as long as I can, Darling. When our child is born, I’ll take care of both of you. That’s what I want to do—take care of my family,” answered Ichika with a warm smile.
Like most women around her, Ichika wanted nothing more than to prioritize her family over everything else.
However, she did not realize that her words only served to sadden Solomon even further.
“But there’s so much more that you can do. You’re still young. I’m sure there are a lot of things that you haven’t experienced yet.”
“What do you mean?”
“You like finance, right? I’m sure you can be a very successful financial planner if you want. Heck, you even know forensic science! You can do so much more than this.”
Solomon then started to talk about Ichika’s interests and tried to convince her to prioritize anything other than him or the child.
However, Ichika got worried when she heard what her husband had to say.
“Darling, don’t you like having me around to take care of you? Did I do something wrong? I don’t… I don’t understand,” stated Ichika as tears started to well up in her eyes.
At that point, Solomon decided to stop talking for the moment.
“Hey, Solomon. You’re coming to the Oceanic Estate, right?” Sasha extended an invitation to the man after the bar was closed.
“Maybe not. I have to head home as I have an important meeting to attend tomorrow.” Standing just outside the bar, Solomon turned down the invitation.
Like Sasha, Ichika was surprised by the man’s odd behavior. “But it’s pretty late, Darling. Are you sure?” asked Ichika hesitantly. The couple was finally together again after a month. Naturally, Ichika wondered why her husband did not seem to want to spend the night with her.
The woman then pouted and hoped that her husband would change his mind.
Alas, Solomon insisted that he had to leave after checking the time on his watch. “You take good care of her for me, okay, Nancy? I have to go now. Call me if you need anything.”
“Sure.” Seeing how persistent the man was, Sasha figured there was no point trying to change his mind.
In the end, Solomon returned to Avenport while Ichika and Sasha made their way back to the Oceanic Estate.
That night, Ichika locked the door to her room and cried her eyes out. I knew I should’ve stayed home with him instead of going to the bar. That’s probably why he’s mad at me. Even though he was busy with work, he made the time to fly over to see me. He must be mad because I went to the bar instead of spending time with him at home.
With that thought, Ichika quickly jumped out of bed to grab her phone.
Ichika: Darling, are you mad at me because I went to the bar instead of staying home with you?
Ichika: I’m sorry, Darling. I should’ve been more thoughtful. Will you please forgive me? I promise I’ll spend more time with you.
Ichika: Scratch that. What I meant to say was I’ll try my best to go back to you as soon as possible. I’ll get Sabrina to come home soon, and go home to you soon.
As soon as she sent her last message, Ichika finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell sound asleep.
The woman was convinced that everything would be okay again when she returned to her husband.
What Ichika did not expect to hear from Sabrina the next day was that the woman enjoyed herself too much at the army to want to come home.
“Could you please stay for another couple of days, Ichika? The combat drill is still in progress, and I really want to stay until the end.”
“Alright.”
Since Ichika hated turning anybody down, she agreed to Sabrina’s request and stayed for another month.
