Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1372 Greedy

Her statement left Wendy and the rest at a loss.

Nevertheless, Wendy could not refute because the Minamotos were their distinguished guests. “All right,” Wendy

agreed with a smile. “Please excuse me. I’ll go ahead and prepare the rooms right now.”

By the time Solomon and Ichika finished moving the sake, the arrangements had been fixed.

How could Himari be so discourteous? This isn’t even her home. Even if she’s a guest, it doesn’t excuse her lack of

propriety.

When Ichika learned of this news, she fumed in anger. Ichika spent the rest of dinner with a petulant pout on her

face.

Immediately, Solomon noticed Ichika’s displeasure. Once dinner ended, he made his way to her. With a low voice,

he said to her, “Don’t worry about it. Sasha and the rest will not mind. Later, I’ll head home and bring you your

personal belongings.”

“Huh?” Hearing this, Ichika looked up. “D-Darling, you’ll be home alone. Will that be all right?” Ichika asked

hesitantly.

Clearly, everything happened because of her. But judging from Ichika’s tone, she had no intentions of staying here.

Instead, she wanted to return home and keep her husband company.

Ichika’s question left Solomon speechless. He lowered his head and glanced at her worried gaze. Wordlessly,

Solomon heaved out a heavy sigh before he spun on his heel and left.

Meanwhile, Wendy was changing the bedsheets of the guestroom upstairs.

Unlike Hillside Villa, Frontier Bay had plenty of rooms to accommodate several guests.

Despite its immense size, Wendy chose the second floor as the Minamotos’ temporary residence. The third floor

was reserved solely for Sebastian and his family.

Suddenly, Wendy heard someone making their way upstairs.

“Wow! I want to stay on the third floor. Mom, look at the gorgeous view up here. There’s even a balcony and

swimming pool. We can go swimming tomorrow!”

Following the joyful voice, Wendy heard the sound of high heels clicking against the wooden floor as the person ran

upstairs.

Oh no… In haste, Wendy scurried out of the room to stop the intruder.

“You aren’t allowed to go upstairs. That’s where Mommy and Daddy live. Hurry up and come back down! If you

don’t, they will be very mad if they find out!”

Before Wendy could open her mouth, a small figure had rushed out of the hanging garden to the foot of the stairs.

There, the little girl placed her hands on her hips and yelled at the intruder on the third floor.

The little girl was none other than Vivian.

Wendy paused when she saw Vivian. At the same time, she couldn’t help but smile in amusement.

Vivi appeared at the right time.

Himari was roaming around the third floor when she heard the child’s voice. Immediately, she stiffened and came

to a screeching halt.

Himari quickly changed her approach. “Are you Vivi? Your house is gorgeous. I couldn’t help but look around,”

Himari explained as she looked at Vivian.

Despite that, Vivian gave her no mercy.

“That doesn’t mean you can enter the third floor. My daddy has mysophobia. He hates it when someone goes to

the third floor. He also doesn’t like strangers touching Mommy’s stuff! He built the swimming pool for her. The

flowers on the balcony are also Mommy’s favorites. You’d better come down right now!” Vivian glared at Himari. “If

Daddy learns of this, you will have to face the consequences of your actions!” Vivian said as a final warning.

Vivian had said nothing but the truth. In this villa, the third floor was off-limits to everyone except Sebastian, Sasha,

and their three children. No one else was allowed to enter it as they pleased.

Left with no choice, Himari heeded Vivian’s warnings and returned to the second floor.

Her face was flushed with embarrassment.

“Mrs. Minamoto, Ms. Himari, please accept my sincerest apologies. She’s still young and naive. Usually, no one ever

goes up to the third floor. Hence, Vivi tried to stop Ms. Himari,” Wendy quickly rushed out of the guestroom and

apologized profusely.

“It’s all right. Himari shouldn’t have wandered into their personal bedrooms.” Mrs. Minamoto was utterly ashamed

by her daughter’s rude antics.

Fortunately, no one took Himari’s actions to heart. After the incident, Aoi and Himari made their way to the

guestroom, which Wendy prepared for them earlier.

When Himari entered the guestroom, she noticed the room’s elaborate design right away. Yet, it could not hold a

candle to the breathtaking designs she had seen on the third floor. The stark contrasts prompted Himari to seethe

in envy.

“This place is much more magnificent than Ichika’s home. Why do they get to marry into such wealthy families?”

Himari complained.

“Weren’t you the one who rejected the marriage in the first place?” Aoi snapped in reply.

She was in a foul mood as Himari’s rude mannerisms and actions had left her embarrassed.

On the other hand, Himari refused to admit her wrongdoings. Instead, she glared out the window with a spiteful

look. “I wasn’t the one who didn’t want it,” Himari retorted as she looked at the garden. “Ichika snatched it away

from me. Mom, since the Hayeses are rolling in dough, maybe I should marry someone from their family too.”

“Y-You!” Aoi was so angry she couldn’t muster a proper response.

Coincidentally, someone knocked on their door, interrupting their conversation.

“Mom, I brought your pajamas here. Are you inside?” Ichika called out from the other side of the door. She had

made a quick trip home to collect Himari and Aoi’s toiletries.

Quickly, Aoi opened the door to let her daughter in.
