Chapter 1411 She Became Excited Again
That afternoon, Ichika and Solomon walked to the cafeteria hand in hand.
When they walked in, all the cafeteria ladies looked at them. It was their first time seeing Solomon.
“Ichika, your husband is really handsome. Did you hide him from us because you were scared that we would snatch
him away from you?” teased one of the cafeteria ladies.
“That must be the reason. This girl is smart,” said another cafeteria lady.
The cafeteria ladies teased Ichika, causing her to blush in embarrassment.
“That’s not true. M-My husband is…”
“Excuse me, may I have a portion of beef and fish. Do you have salmon? If you could pan fry it with some
vegetables, that would be nice too.” Solomon saved Ichika from their teasing.
Although he did not answer the cafeteria lady’s question directly, the way he gently asked Ichika for her preference
and helped her to get food showed everything.
It proved that Solomon cared about Ichika, and she did not have to fear anyone snatching him away from her.

The cafeteria ladies smiled when they saw how Solomon took care of Ichika.
Then, they went to prepare food for the couple.
Solomon’s actions touched Ichika, and she held his hand as they walked to the table. She seemed like a happy child.
Solomon arranged the cutleries for her. His mouth curved into a charming smile when he saw how happy she was.
Ichika and Solomon enjoyed lunch together. After lunch, as they walked back to the ward, Solomon suddenly looked
ahead and asked, “Do you want to return to Jetroina?”
“Huh?” Ichika looked up at Solomon, still holding his hand. “Return to Jetroina? When?”
“I will be discharged in another ten days. Before returning to Avenport, we can go on a trip to Jetroina. However,
that is if you want to go there,” Solomon said to her calmly.
He was not used to being affectionate with anyone.
It might have something to do with his personality. As he grew up in an unfortunate environment, it had caused him
to develop a defensive mechanism to avoid getting hurt.
In other words, even if he cared about someone, he was afraid of rejection. He feared that the person would reject
him if he offered his concern.
Ichika blinked innocently before him.
Is he serious about it? That’s wonderful. If I return to Jetroina, I will be able to deal with the matter concerning
Himari. My family is in a terrible situation, so it will be good if I can return to them.
Ichika’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Thank you, Darling. You’re so good to me.”
Her reaction stunned Solomon, causing him to pause his steps as waves of warmth spread through his every fiber,
filling his heart.
His smile deepened.
That night, Solomon mentioned the trip to Jetroina in the Hayeses’ WhatsApp chat group.
Solomon: @Sabrina
Sabrina: What is it? I’m burning the midnight oil in the company right now. What do you want?
From the tone of her reply, one could sense that she was frustrated.
However, she was not angry with Solomon. She was simply frustrated with her workload.
Solomon: Nothing much. I’m just checking whether you’re busy.
Sasha: Solomon, are you up to something?
Still, Sasha understood Solomon better. When she saw his pointless messages, she immediately knew that he had
something on his mind.
Seeing Sasha’s message, Sabrina understood that Solomon had something important to say and began paying
attention to him.
She looked up tiredly from her table piled high with work and started typing furiously on her phone.
Sabrina: Hayes Corporation is busy every day. You have been working here for years, so you should know, right?
Stop dragging my feet, Solomon. What do you want? Please get to the point and stop keeping me in suspense.
Devin: Darling, please be a little more gentle.

Ichika: Sab, please don’t be angry with Solomon. He wants to accompany me to visit my family after his discharge
from the hospital. Is that okay?
Ichika suddenly appeared in the chat group.
Huh? Visit her family?
Sabrina’s eyes gleamed.
Sabrina: Wait a minute! Are you going to the hot springs? It sounds like a good idea. Now that it’s the end of the
year, it’s the right time to visit hot springs. Let us all go together!
Suddenly, the conversation took a complete turn and became something else.
Sasha: Yes, that’s a great idea. I want to go. I agree with this plan wholeheartedly!
Sasha was so excited that she jumped in without thinking.
As the chat group seemed lively, even the elders popped in to chat.
Mr. Wand: This sounds like a good idea. If you are all going, I’m going too.
Old Mr. Jadeson: Someone arrange this trip!
Devin: Yes. Our holiday will start on the 20th of January. We have more than enough time.
In a few minutes, the nature of the conversation changed so drastically that Solomon and Ichika looked at each
other speechlessly.
Solomon had planned to go to Jetroina to help Ichika resolve her family issues.
Ichika wanted to go there for the same reason as well.
