Chapter 1323 Unintentional Kidnap
“M-Mommy—”
Jaena, who was crying, bawled her eyes out when she finally heard her mother’s voice.
Sabrina felt a million swords piercing through her heart.
She barged into the house and saw the woman carrying Jaena in her arms. Without hesitation, she
snatched her daughter from the woman.
“All right, all right. Mommy’s here. Let’s stop crying, okay?”
Jaena’s sobbing started to fade as she felt Sabrina’s warmth.
Her face was moist with tears, and her body was trembling incessantly.
Sabrina seldom saw her in such a state as she was always an optimistic child who loved to smile.
Sabrina comforted her until she calmed down. After a while, she fell asleep in Sabrina’s embrace.
With that, Sabrina shifted her to one hand gently as she lifted her head and cast a ferocious glare at
the middle-aged woman in the house.
“Why did you take her?”
“N-No, it’s not like that! She kept following me. I took her to the pediatrics department, but no one
seemed to know her. I feared she might get into trouble, so I brought her back here.”
“I was there the whole time. I didn’t see you asking around.”

Ichika immediately walked over to ease the situation as she was worried they might wake Jaena.
“Sabrina, let’s bring the kid back first. Just leave it to Mr. Akiyama. No matter what her intention was,
Mr. Akiyama will handle her.”
Her tone was utterly meek, but there was a sense of determination in her voice when she mentioned
Solomon.
As such, Sabrina recollected herself and left with Jaena.
The middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that.
Just when she thought all of them had left, Ichika came back into the house after a while.
“You guys stay here and keep an eye on her. Wait for Mr. Akiyama to come here and handle her.”
“Yes, Ms. Minamoto.”
All the warriors bowed toward Ichika simultaneously after hearing her order. After all, she was most
likely the future wife of Solomon.
At that instance, the color drained from the woman’s face.
“Why do you still need to keep an eye on me? I’ve returned the kid in one piece. Why would you keep
me under watch like I’m some criminal?”
“There’s indeed something suspicious about you,” Ichika responded indifferently. “Sabrina was right.
You could have handed Jaena over to the pediatrics department. Even if you couldn’t find her parents,
you shouldn’t have taken the kid home. That was wrong.”
The woman was rendered speechless upon hearing that.
“Besides, I have a little background in medicine. The way Jaena was crying just now seemed strange. I
need to do a checkup on her before your suspicion can be lifted.”
Indeed, Ichika had keen observation skills.
She explained to the woman gently and politely, but her words caused the latter’s heart to plummet to
her feet.
How could this young lady be so intelligent? How could she possibly notice that?
With that, the woman paled in fright.
…
Soon after that, Ichika went back to the company.
Taylor asked upon seeing her, “Ichika, you’re back. So what happened? Did you find Ms. Sabrina’s
kid?”
“Yes. Everything is fine. Sorry for delaying the work. Is there anything you need me to do now?”
She displayed an apologetic smile.
Taylor could not bear to blame her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot to mention, as she was newly hired, she did not have many ongoing tasks.
The only task she got assigned was to follow up on some advertising projects.
With that, Ichika carried a pile of documents and went out.
“Ms. Minamoto?”
When she got out of the planning department, she ran into Akiko, who had just come down from
upstairs.
Ichika had no choice but to stop in her tracks.
“What is it, Akiko?”
“Nothing. I just want to remind you that Mr. Akiyama won’t be happy that you stuck your nose into his
business. You should know that he has no intention to marry you for now.”
Ichika felt a blow to her heart upon hearing that.
Indeed, he never said he would marry me. Not only that, but he has never once brought me to any
important occasions after I came here. He’s never explained to anybody about me either. At most, he
only introduced me as the daughter of the Minamoto family when somebody asked.
Upset, Ichika’s face fell.
“is that so?”
“Of course. That’s why you should ask your men to come back right away. If Mr. Akiyama finds out he
still needs to handle some trivial matter after meeting the client, he will dislike you even more.”
Ichika froze on the spot upon hearing Akiko’s advice.
She pondered for a while and eventually nodded in agreement.
