Saving Her Number
In the end, Sasha and Sebastian only took Ian along when they set off, leaving Matteo and Vivian
behind.
Solomon was perplexed when he received the text from Sasha about this arrangement.
He replied: What? Why aren’t they going? Didn’t they promise to go together?
Sasha texted: Vivian changed her mind last minute and was unwilling to go. Besides, she’s a big girl
now, so she needs friends. That’s why I let Matt stay here with her. Solomon, please help me take care
of the two children.
She requested, but the man did not reply.
No one knew the impact the text had on him. Ever since the wedding was over, he felt as though
something has been weighing on his chest. But now, the heaviness in his chest was finally lifted.
He knew full well why Sebastian was eager to take his entire family away from here.
The reason was that the latter had discovered the secret and found out why Solomon agreed to marry
Ichika in the end. As such, Sebastian wanted to take his family away, for as the saying goes; out of
sight, out of mind.
Keeping Ian company was only an excuse.
Even if the boy really could not get accustomed to it, Sebastian should be able to solve the issue
effortlessly.
There was no need for the whole family to tag along.
The overwhelming feeling of getting to know the news when Solomon came home that night was
etched on his heart.
Remorse and resentment overcame him. For a moment, he even thought of leaving here and vanishing
from their lives.
Yet, he was still waiting, but he did not know what he was waiting for.
Perhaps he had experienced so much warmth and tenderness after the wedding that he got addicted to
it and could not bring himself to leave.
But things changed when he received this text.
“Mr. George, since Vivian and Matteo are staying here, what are you going to do? Should we send
some people to look after them? I do have to say, though, that Mr. Hayes was a little strange this time.
Why did he agree to let Vivian stay back so easily?”
Luke came in and asked about the matter in bewilderment.
Solomon looked down.
A few moments later, he finally bobbed his head in agreement. “Yeah, please arrange some people for
this. Since Ichika is free, she may go over there to look after them as well.”
“Oh, right! Why didn’t I think of this? Mrs. Akiyama is at home.”
Luke’s eyes lit up at his reminder.
Right away, the matter was settled.
At night, Ichika was enthused when she was given the important mission of taking care of her nephew
and niece at Frontier Bay, bustling about the entire night.
“Darling, what should I bring there? Should I get some gifts? Oh, wait, I should probably bring some
food. I heard Vivi is a glutton…”
“Darling, should I take my luggage along?”
“Darling…”
Like a headless chicken, she prepared everything clumsily and frantically, pestering her husband
throughout the night.
Feeling irked, Solomon doubted whether he had made the wrong decision.
The next morning, the second he opened the door, he saw a neatly dressed woman with a high
ponytail and a backpack.
“You…”
“Darling, after a night of research, I now know that ten-year-olds are no longer like young children, so I
can treat them as my friends and everything will be fine.”
Raising her right hand, Ichika showed him a thumbs up energetically.
Solomon was speechless.
She is no doubt smart, but why do I feel like I’m with a child?
On the way to send Ichika to Frontier Bay, he announced his decision in the chat group.
He texted: I’ve sent Ichika to Frontier Bay to look after the two children.
Then, he added her into the chat group.
As a foreigner, Ichika was unfamiliar with the chat apps in the country, so she was puzzled when she
heard her phone beep and saw the text.
Sasha replied: That’s great. Thank you so much, Ichika!
Sabrina added: Oh? This arrangement is not bad. Work hard, Ichika. This is a golden opportunity to
learn how to be a mother.
Sabrina actually started to tease Ichika.
The latter’s face flushed crimson when she finally managed to wrap her head around those words.
Seriously, Sab?
She replied: Hello, everyone. I’m Ichika. I’ll do my best and report on how things go every day. Please
forgive me if I make any mistake.
Sabrina texted: Opps! Seems like I’ve frightened our poor Ichika.
Devin chimed in: All right, that’s enough. Stop scaring her. Don’t worry, Ichika. Vivian and Matteo are
very obedient. You only need to supervise them and see whether they have done their homework on
time.
Ichika replied: Sure. Thank you, Devin.
Sasha texted: Call me if you need anything.
She then texted her number to the group.
Everyone in the family knew her number, so they were not surprised.
However, Ichika’s eyes gleamed when she saw the number. Instantly, she saved the number into her
phone sheepishly as if she was doing something bad.
She was still curious about Sasha.
I wonder what kind of charm she has that Akiyama is so smitten by her.
