Himari Committed Suicide
Solomon didn’t know how to react.
Nevertheless, his eyes sharpened in response.
The next moment, he pulled his finger out and backed off some distance away from her.
“Darling?”
“I’m done. You can clean up now.”
He quickly put the medication aside and washed his finger in the basin. In a blink of an eye, he opened
the door and left.
The next moment, Ichika even heard the sound of the room door closing.
Did he leave? Did I put him off again with my behavior?
She had just come of age and made love for the first time. However, she felt as if she was acting
improperly for a lady.
Consequently, the glee she felt earlier was all gone.
All that was left was the feeling of regret and the urge to give herself a slap.
Outside the hotel, Solomon had arrived downstairs.
Given how furiously his heart was pounding, Solomon wanted to get some air. In fact, he even hoped to
find himself a cold tub to dip in.
Just when he came downstairs, he realized that it had just snowed as the hotel’s parking lot was
blanketed by it. There he saw two familiar figures building a snowman.
“Sebby, of all the times it could have snowed, it just had to be at this hour. Now, we’re forced to
accompany your daughter to build a snowman.”
“Didn’t I tell you that you needn’t come? It’s really cold out here.”
Sebastian’s monotonous voice rang out in the snowy night.
However, every word of his carried with it the concern and affection he felt for his woman. After all, he
was worried that she would catch a cold.
Having heard his words, Sasha, who was packing snowballs, broke into a smile.
“No way. I haven’t played with snow for a long time too. Why don’t we make a row of snowmen
consisting of me, you, and our boys?”
“Pfft…”
Obviously, Sebastian wouldn’t say no to the idea.
With that, both of them got to work in the snow.
After he saw what was going, Solomon had an epiphany.
He was now fully recovered, for he no longer felt jealous, and he was not consumed by a possessive
rage when he watched the scene in front of him. In fact, he was moved by it and filled with envy.
Unknown to anyone else, he had followed Sasha on more than one occasion when they were in high
school.
Back then, he was attracted by how energetic and vibrant she was. It was as if she was bursting with
sunshine all the time. During that time, he wondered how nice it would be if he could walk side by side
with her while holding her hand.
He thought he would be happy to have such a woman in his life, for he had been straining for the light
after being sick of having darkness engulf him.
Just as Grayson had pointed out, what Solomon truly desired wasn’t Sasha but the light she radiated
that was capable of illuminating the depths of his heart.
That light was what he felt could give him salvation.
In that case, is Ichika the one?
“Darling, do you want to play in the snow too? I’ll come along with you.”
Suddenly, Ichika’s gentle voice rang out from behind him. Along with it was the sound of her hurried
footsteps as she caught up with Solomon.
Solomon turned around at once and saw Ichika, who was wearing her bathrobe with a jacket draped
over her shoulder.
“Darling,” she called out again with a sobbing voice.
She was crying because he had run off abruptly without saying a word.
Solomon didn’t know what to say.
She isn’t the light. Instead, she is the punishment fate wants to inflict upon me!
Feeling exasperated, Solomon scooped Ichika into his arms and stormed back into their room.
That night, everyone slept soundly.
The next morning, when they woke up and drew the curtains, they noticed the entire hot spring was
blanketed by a thick layer of snow. As light shimmered off its surface, the whole scene felt like
paradise.
“It’s gorgeous. Hubby, why don’t we stay here for another day?”
Sabrina made her request enthusiastically when she saw the sight outside her window.
Devin didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
“I’m fine either way. However, you should still ask Grandpa and Mr. Wand about it, just in case they’re
in a hurry to return.”
“Isn’t that a piece of cake?”
Just as she spoke, Sabrina dashed out of the room to look for them.
Left alone in the room, Devin had no choice but to prepare milk for Jaena while making sure that she
didn’t run after her mother. After all, she had grown a lot more active recently.
The result of the discussion was a resounding yes.
Since it was the year end, and it was rare for them to holiday together, everyone was in high spirits.
Therefore, they agreed to stay back for one more day. As for the Minamoto family, they didn’t say a
word after Ichika had sent Himari back home.
Evidently, they knew very well what her intention was.
Meanwhile, Ichika was thrilled to learn that they would be staying longer. Hence, she recommended
another wonderful place to them.
“You can visit the mouth of a volcano where there are mud baths available. Do you know what they
are?”
“Do you mean the place where you can bury yourself in mud?” Sabrina’s eyes lit up when she heard it.
