Chapter 1364 Yearn For Happiness
Himari had spoken before Sebastian could even say a word, thus putting him in a position where it would be
awkward to refuse her.
Ichika watched the scene with her cheeks puffed out in anger. Himari is going to annoy the hell out of me. She just
landed, but she keeps doing such irritating things.
“I’m fine with it, but your sister might not like it,” Solomon replied.
“Huh?”
The three ladies were taken back by his response.
Himari asked curiously, “Why wouldn’t she like it? Isn’t this your car?”
“It is. However, when one is married, the front passenger seat is usually reserved for his wife. If you want to sit
here, you should ask for her permission, not mine,” Solomon explained nonchalantly without even bothering to
come up with an excuse.
Himari’s face instantly turned as red as a beetroot.
She stared at him, looking upset. After a long while, she turned stiffly toward Ichika in the backseat and asked, “Is it

Ichika seized the opportunity to vent her frustrations.
“Oh, it must’ve slipped my mind. Thank you for the reminder, Darling. Himari, I think you’d better join us in the back
seat. That’s my special seat, so I can’t let you sit there,” she replied.
Ichika was quick-witted, and she immediately played along with Solomon’s explanation. Ichika’s refusal struck
Himari like a hard slap across her face.
Himari’s face flushed red with anger.
Left without a choice, she climbed out of the front passenger seat sulkily and got into the back.
Solomon started the car. In the rearview mirror, he could see Ichika looking cheerful again as she hugged her
mother’s arm and chattered away happily.
He could not help smiling helplessly.
That day, Rufus, Wendy, and several others from the Hayes family gathered at the villa to welcome Aoi and Himari
to Avenport.
By the time Solomon returned that night, everything was in full swing. It was the first time since their marriage that
the villa was abuzz.
It’s odd. After living alone for three years, I should prefer peace and quiet.
However, as he took in the sight of the villa filled with people and laughter, the fragrance of the flowers and wine
permeating the air, and the tantalizing aroma of the food… He found that he quite liked the lively atmosphere.
I suppose it’s true that humans tend to crave warmth. No matter what I’ve gone through or how much I’ve shut
myself from the world, I still yearn to find my own happiness.
When Ichika spotted Solomon outside the villa, she rushed over to him. “You’re finally back, Darling! Look, we have
so many guests! They’re all here to welcome my mom and Himari, and they brought lots of mouthwatering food!”
Solomon’s gaze softened when he saw her childlike excitement.
“I’m glad to see that you’re happy. By the way, where’s your mom? What is she doing?”
“My mom?” Ichika echoed with a mysterious smile.
She stood on her tiptoes and leaned closer to him. This time, she did not kiss him. Instead, she spoke softly, her
warm breath tickling his ear. “She’s learning how to make calzone from the ladies of the Hayes family. She said that
she wants to make it for my dad when she gets back.”
She was smiling so widely that her sparkling eyes had curved into crescents.
Solomon froze, and a flush crept up his neck to the tips of his ears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Ichika pulled Solomon into the villa a few minutes later, everyone erupted into cheers. Now that the man of
the house had arrived, they were ready to party.
Amid the hustle and bustle, no one noticed that someone was watching the scene with a spiteful gaze.
That person was none other than Himari.
At the moment, she was gazing down from the second floor.
A large part of the reason I came was that I wanted to regain some peace of mind. I couldn’t believe that Ichika
had snagged such a good husband. After all, the man she married is just a love child. How could he have so much
money and power? That’s why I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
When she saw the beautiful villa, she grew even more jealous. The urge to claim it as her own burgeoned within
her.
It was clear that everything in the villa was expensive and valuable, down to the very carpet she was standing on.
She had used her smartphone to look it up online and learned that the carpet had to be specially imported, and it
was estimated to cost hundreds of thousands per square foot.
Sabrina really went all out. No expense was spared on the decorations either. Even in Ichika’s room, any random
bottle of skincare on her dressing table could easily cost one million. Despite being a prestigious family, the
Minamoto family is nowhere near as wealthy as this.
Himari lingered in that room for a long time.
