Untold History
After the startlement, Ichika’s grandfather excitedly stood up. He stared at Sasha and trembled for a
moment before standing up from the table, rushing toward her.
Meanwhile, Sasha was stunned speechless.
Before she could even react, Sebastian, who stood next to her, had already wrapped his arms around
her from behind.
“What are you doing?” Sebastian exclaimed.
His face was grim, and his voice was sharp when he lashed out those words.
When Ichika’s father saw what happened, he quickly got up and stopped his disoriented father.
At the same time, Solomon came out as well.
“Grandpa, what are you doing? She’s not Judith. She’s Mr. Wand’s daughter.”
“What?” Ichika’s grandfather finally settled down.
After hearing that name, the people around them who experienced the turmoil back then had their eyes
wide open, showing emotions of disbelief.
Judith Sylvester?
She’s actually appeared? Right here?
A few minutes later, everyone settled down, and Ichika’s father began to tell the tale of the past.
“Back in the years, my mother met my father when she came here to study, and they loved each other
ever since. Later on, because of the turmoil in your country, she promised a classmate with the family
name of Limmer that she would go home. At that time, she had hoped my father would go with her.
However, my father was the heir to the Minamoto family, and he could never go back with her. Thus,
the two were separated in the end.”
His story was a short one.
However, the story rendered all those who just only learned about the glorious deeds of that
outstanding woman speechless.
Especially Sasha.
She was surprised to find out that her grandmother had such untold history.
After processing for a while, she realized that it wasn’t a big deal.
Her grandmother was a great person. Back in those years, she gave up the love of her life and children
to devote herself to the cause of fighting for the country.
Therefore, nobody had the right to criticize or reprimand her private life.
“Then… could Sasha’s mother be…”
“No. When she left, she only gave birth to Jen. I tried looking for her later, but she had already
remarried to a comrade who had the same aspirations as her, and they gave birth to a girl. I don’t
blame her for that. Instead, I loathed myself for not going with her in the first place.”
As Ichika’s grandfather told the story, he looked up toward the monochrome photo on the wall and
burst into tears.
Jen was actually Ichika’s father, and it was a domestic name given by Judith.
In fact, Ichika’s grandfather never really got his head around it. For a person like Judith, even if she
were to remain in Jetroina, she wouldn’t stay with him for long. That was because his family would not
allow him to marry a foreign woman. Therefore, Judith eventually left.
She kept her son as a memento of the man who loved her dearly.
For Ichika’s father to grow up in the Minamoto family legitimately, Ichika’s grandfather remarried a
daughter from a noble family of a good match. Thus, becoming the current head of the Minamoto
family.
The crowd finally understood, and Sebastian, standing next to him, felt relieved after knowing that his
wife had nothing to do with the Jetroinian family.
After all, he had never liked that family.
However, that meant Sasha and Ichika were cousins twice removed.
Nonetheless, he felt upset again while thinking about the possibility of Solomon marrying Ichika for this
exact reason, which was replacing his wife that had been taken away.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh?” Sasha looked at Sebastian as he dragged her.
“I’m not done yet. I still want to see my grandma.” She pointed at the photo and hurriedly pleaded.
However, Sebastian didn’t comply.
As though something ruined his mood, he took out his phone, quickly snapped a picture of the old
photo, and dragged Sasha away.
Devin and his wife, and also Rufus and Jonathan remained there. They exchanged uneasy glances.
That man. What is his problem?
Sebastian left early with Sasha and their three children, leaving Devin and Sabrina. By the time
everyone had left, it was already late at night.
“We should leave too.”
After watching everyone leave, Solomon prepared to leave too.
Ichika overheard them and was surprised that everyone was already leaving.
However, according to the customs here, it wasn’t necessary to stay at their parents’ house at night,
but they had to come over again the next day for the tea ceremony.
Ichika looked at Solomon attentively for a moment.
“Alright. Please wait for me. I’ll change my clothes and headdress.” She obediently complied while
subconsciously scrunching her eyebrows before going in to pack up.
Ten minutes later, she came out after changing into fresh casual clothes and left the home that raised
her for twenty years with him.
She hesitated, wondering if she was making the right choice.
However, she was willing to give it a try. Akiko once told her that Solomon was unwilling to marry
because he was in love with another woman, and he would never forget her for the rest of his life.
Finally, she got to see that woman in person today.
She hoped that she could use the rest of her life to make him accept her with her actions.
Ichika wasn’t asking for him to forget that woman, but she hoped that she would one day have a
special place of her own in his heart, a place that belonged to her, Ichika Minamoto, his wife.
