Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1528 Unshirkable Responsibilities

“It has been… a few days delayed.”

“Really?” the two women surrounding her exclaimed excitedly.

Tears even glistened in Sabrina’s eyes, thinking that the Hayeses finally had an heir.

No doubt she loved the triplets to bits. She was thrilled that the bloodline of her father, Frederick, was now secured.

This little one will be his true progeny in the future. I bet he can finally rest in peace if he finds out.

“Um… Sab and Sha, please don’t spill the beans to your husbands. I haven’t confirmed yet, so…”

Ichika was taken aback to see how exhilarated the two ladies were. Hence, she quickly reminded them to keep it a

secret.

Obviously, Sasha would not let it slide. She took Ichika’s pulse with utter seriousness right away while Ichika and

Sabrina held their breath in suspense.

Within two minutes, she had her answers.

“Sab…”

“Hmm?”

“Do you want to do the honors and check with Saul about the family tree of the Hayeses? To find out who should

the next baby be named after. You know, it’s good to get this out of the way early.” Sasha grinned from ear to ear.

Sabrina widened her eyes and was about to explode from excitement.

On the other hand, Ichika was so surprised, her face instantly flushing.

This is absolutely great news!

The cat was let out of the bag later that night. Solomon could not believe it and asked Ichika umpteen times to

confirm.

“Is it true? Nancy took your pulse personally?”

“Yes,” Ichika replied shyly.

She was well pleased at her husband’s ecstatic reaction.

Mom has said before that a woman could tell how much her husband loves her from his expression when he learns

about the pregnancy.

Feeling elated, she slept soundly that night.

Ironically, Solomon could not fall asleep. He did not dare to toss and turn on the bed as he was afraid of crushing

Ichika.

In the end, he decided to get up and head outside for a puff.

Surprisingly, he was not the only one who stayed up late. There was another figure in the hallway upstairs,

seemingly smoking a cigarette.

Sebastian?

The room in which Solomon and his wife were staying now was the one next to Sabrina’s former room, whereas

Sebastian’s family occupied the top floor.

Hence, he guessed that it was him.

Staring at the brightly lit cigarette, Solomon hesitated before deciding to walk upstairs.

Indeed, it’s him.

He saw Sebastian standing there alone, working on something on his smartphone. From the refraction of the

dimmed screen light, Solomon noticed that Sebastian was furrowing his brows.

“What are you up to?” Solomon approached him.

Upon hearing that, Sebastian turned and was astonished to see Solomon there.

“I was attending to a matter. Why aren’t you in bed yet?” He swiftly switched off his phone, not wanting Solomon to

see what he was doing.

Solomon got the hint and did not query him further.

“Well, I’m not used to changes,” he blurted honestly.

Nowadays, Solomon would speak his mind in front of Sebastian.

However, the latter did not understand what he was referring to.

He could not empathize with Solomon because Sasha lost her baby at a very early stage of her pregnancy due to

poor health.

Therefore, he could not understand what Solomon was feeling simply because he had never gone through the

same experience.

“What changes? The bed?”

“No…” Solomon felt somewhat awkward, so he gazed at the scenery and changed the subject immediately.

“By the way, what do you think about Old Mr. Jadeson’s idea of living in the mountain? Are you agreeable to it?”

“Whatever!” Sebastian snapped.

Solomon found it amusing as he tried to process Sebastian’s answer.

Based on how much and how well I know about him, his laconic reply is actually a yes. What a guy! He seems cold

and hostile outside, but he’s, in fact, a softy who’s more gentle and considerate than anyone else.

Thinking about his own affairs, Solomon felt a fuzzy feeling creeping up from within.

“Well, if Old Mr. Jadeson goes to the mountain, everything related to Oceanic Estate will fall on your shoulders.

What’s your plan?”

“I’m not interested in those things at all.”

“I know. Regardless of your interest level, some matters are inevitable. I heard that many tried to squeeze their

way in to see Old Mr. Jadeson since the night he was hospitalized. I’m sure Oceanic Estate has rejected many

requests tonight, too, right?” Solomon cut to the chase and addressed the elephant in the room.

Though Jonathan had retired and washed his hands off politics, the Jadesons still held a formidable presence in the

country because of its enormous contributions made in the past.

That was why many still sought their advice and orders even though none of them held any position at the White

House.

With Old Mr. Jadeson leaving for Aquene Temple, it goes unsaid that the unshirkable responsibility will fall on

Sebastian. Is he thinking of pushing it to others? That will never ever happen. I guess he was dealing with this issue

on the phone just now. This is probably the only reason why he is reluctant to let Old Mr. Jadeson go to the temple.

Sebastian did not utter a single word, but he smoked a lot that night.
