Old Dog New Tricks
That evening, Solomon quietly took the tools for pregnancy home with him.
Ichika was feeling down at home but quickly stood up to greet her husband before going into the
kitchen. “Hey, you’re back. Dinner will be ready soon.”
Then, Solomon went upstairs to the bedroom and went through the stuff his assistant got him. Okay, so
I see the thermometer and the ovulation chart, but what is this?
The man took a book out and immediately turned red after seeing examples of sex positions with the
highest success rate for pregnancy. “What the heck is Luke thinking? That idiot!”
Afraid that Ichika would see the book, Solomon hurried to the study to hide it there. Although he was
upset with Luke for getting him the book, he went through the material nonetheless.
“Darling, dinner’s ready!” shouted Ichika, who had no idea what her husband was doing upstairs while
she was in the kitchen.
“Coming!” responded Solomon quickly before changing and going back downstairs to dine with his
wife.
After an hour or so, the couple was finally done with dinner. As usual, Ichika did the dishes before
slumping on the couch to check on Brandon’s social media.
Brandon knew that Ichika would miss the child dearly, so he posted photos and videos of the kid online
every day. To Ichika, those online contents were food to her soul.
When Solomon noticed tears rolling down his wife’s cheeks again, he could not help but frown at his
own helplessness. “Ichika, why don’t you go and shower first?”
“Right now?” asked Ichika, who quickly dried her tears before turning to look at her husband.
“After you’re done, I have something to show you.”
Solomon had never done anything romantic before, so it was only natural that Ichika wondered why her
husband was being so mysterious all of a sudden. What could it be?
At that moment, Ichika’s attention was finally shifted away from the child.
After putting her phone down, the woman did as she was told and went upstairs to take a shower.
It was only around eight o’clock when Solomon turned off all the lights downstairs and went up the
stairs as well.
Although Ichika had no idea what Solomon was up to, that changed when she stepped out of the
bathroom. The lights in their bedroom were dimmed down, and there were bright red rose petals all
over the bed. Suddenly, the woman could understand what her husband was trying to do. “Darling,
you… “
“I got these on my way home today. There is a flower shop nearby. And I also got you this. Will you try
it on for me?” asked the man as he handed his wife a gift box.
At that point, Ichika was already moved to tears, for she knew that Solomon was not a romantic man. It
must’ve taken him a lot of effort to do all this for me. Not only has he taken the trouble to decorate the
bed with all these rose petals, but he also got me a gift!
Like an excited little girl on Christmas day, Ichika quickly opened the gift box.
Inside was a crimson red nightdress with two slender spaghetti straps. The bottom of the garment was
weaved with lace so thin that one could almost see through it.
“Darling, this…” With her cheeks as red as tomatoes, Ichika was at a loss for words.
Although Solomon was blushing almost as much as his wife, the man knew he had to make the first
move. He then took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Ichika.
“I know you miss Nat badly, but I want to see you smile again. That’s why I did all this. I hope we can
have a child together so that you’ll be happy again.”
“Okay.” With red hot cheeks, Ichika nodded and agreed with her husband.
After changing into the dress, the woman barely got any sleep that night.
To give Ichika everything he had, Solomon worked hard on his wife like a rabbit. The man even
surprised Ichika with multiple positions that she never knew.
It was only until sunrise that she finally fell asleep, exhausted.
Lying in the mess on a bed, Solomon too was drained of energy. Holding his wife tightly, the man
stared at the ceiling and breathed a sigh of relief. That should do it, right? I even checked the ovulation
chart for today. It has to work!
Not long after that, the man also fell deep asleep.
It was almost afternoon when the couple woke up. Solomon being the caring husband he was, went
downstairs to prepare a meal for his wife.
However, just before he went into the kitchen, Solomon checked his phone and noticed a missed
call. Who might this be?
From the set of numbers displayed, he figured it was from overseas. After some thought, Solomon
eventually decided to return the call.
