Look After Her
It was already evening by the time they arrived on the island.
Including the flight and the boat ride, it was a rather long journey.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
“Mommy, we’re here!”
Vivian and Matteo were beyond delighted to see their parents as they rushed toward the house as
soon as they got off the boat.
Sasha was also overwhelmed with excitement.
She ran outside and hugged the two kids.
“I missed you two so much. How was the journey? Are you guys tired?”
“Nope. Mommy, we brought you a lot of nice food. Aunt Ichika is carrying them.”
Vivian turned around and pointed at Ichika who was behind them.
Sasha lifted her head and gazed at the boat.
Devin and Sabrina seemed used to this kind of environment.
On the other hand, Ichika froze on the spot, not knowing where to put her feet.
“Darling… why is there so much grass over here? Will there be snakes?”
The color drained from her face as she spoke.
Indeed, besides the Minamoto residence, she had not been to many places.
Besides, the local beach at Jetroina was usually well managed. She had most probably never seen a
beach in such a natural state.
Sasha was amused upon seeing that.
“Vivi, is your Aunt Ichika always that cute?”
“Huh?” Vivian blinked in puzzlement.
“No, she’s not cute at all. She’s a coward. She held my hand tightly the whole time when we were on
the boat. She didn’t even dare to go up the deck. Jeez,” Vivian complained and let out a sigh at the
end, remembering what Solomon had said to her about looking after Ichika.
Hearing that, Sasha did not know how to react.
After everyone arrived, Sasha and Sebastian took out the food and fruits and placed them on a random
long table outside the house.
Sabrina was at a loss for words.
This is way too remote. Don’t they have a proper table?
Sabrina was another woman who was born with privilege. She walked over to the table and picked a
few grapes reluctantly.
“Sasha, so this is how you guys have been living for months?”
“Yes. You don’t like it?”
Sasha, who was carrying the chairs from the inside, smiled faintly after hearing Sabrina’s comment.
It was true that the condition here could not be compared to Frontier Bay or Oceanic Estate.
Despite that, the environment was good, not to mention the warm sunlight and the irreplaceable peace.
Sasha had deeply fallen in love with this place.
Devin felt great as well.
However, he had gone into the house to look for Sebastian. It had been a while since they last met, so
they had a lot to talk about.
As such, Solomon was the only man left at the table with the women and the kids.
“Solomon, let’s eat. You must be starving after a long day. Let me get you a plate.”
Sasha knew him well enough to know that he would feel awkward and lost on such an occasion. Thus,
she went over to greet him.
And indeed, Solomon felt better seeing Sasha’s gesture.
“How are you guys holding up here? Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, much better. The weather is great over here, and I don’t need to worry about anything. I feel more
relaxed, and thus my body recovers faster too,” Sasha answered honestly.
Hearing that took a weight off his mind.
Just as he wanted to give the busy woman a hand, she handed him a plate of fruits and sandwiches.
“Give these to Ichika. The kids have been pestering her since the moment she arrived. I bet she’s
hungry.”
Sasha paused for a second and reminded, “Right, she has never been to such a place before. And
she’s still young. You have to look after her and make her feel safe.”
Solomon froze for a moment.
It was a peculiar feeling for him. Back then, if Sasha had asked him to look after another woman, he
would have been utterly pissed and sad.
But now, he did not seem to feel so anymore, although there was still a slight sense of uneasiness.
Nevertheless, there was no more anger in his heart. With his face blushing red, he took the plate and
went to find Ichika.
“Darling, you’re here.”
Ichika was busy helping Vivian to plant the firework. Her eyes lit up with warmth when she saw
Solomon bring her food.
He still remembers me.
In fact, Ichika noticed Solomon had been hanging around Sasha ever since they arrived on the island,
but she did not dare to interrupt them.
