The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386 Blessing

“Darling? Where are you, Darling? Darling?”

Ichika searched for Solomon everywhere on the boat, looking extremely nervous. Others on theisland who saw that would probably think Solomon had plunged to his death off the boat.Solomon, who was standing on the deck, was utterly speechless. When he saw Ichika bending downto check if he was below the boat, he was all the more lost for words.

At this moment, Ichika looked up and met the man’s eyes. She ran toward him in a hurry and said,“Darling, you're here. You scared me. I thought—"

“You thought I committed suicide?” Solomon's expression turned grim.

Ichika immediately zipped her lip.

"N-No..."

“What are you doing here?”

Solomon withdrew his gaze from her and looked toward the fishing rod that he had put on theother side of the deck.

chika was stunned.

Oh, it turns out that Darling is fishing. I thought...

chika tiptoed toward Solomon like a timid child and stole glances at him from time to time.Inwardly, she was delighted to see that Soloman had calmed down.

“Um, Darling, Sebastian told us that there are a few tasks in the afternoon. We have to catch fish,collect firewood, and get some fruits and vegetables. In the end, we decided to draw lots, and wewere assigned to collect firewood.”

Well, Ichika is indeed clever. She knew she couldn't say that the bullies had assigned her the difficulttask.

That's why she made up an excuse, saying that she got the task by drawing lots.

Solomon turned to look at her, flabbergasted.

He had thought he would be isolated after what had happened, like a clown who was stripped off ofhis mask of hypocrisy.

He had also thought that the others would perceive him as the old Solomon, who was ruthless, ugly,and unforgivable.

But now...

“Darling, you don't feel like going either, do you? No worries. If you don't want to go, I'll go alone.You can get some rest here.”

The man remained silent, and Ichika wasn't sure if Solomon was delighted or furious.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Ichika lowered her head in disappointment.

I knew Darling wouldn't agree to it.

Ichika stood up and was about to leave when Solomon said, “How did you draw the lots? Whydidn't you get fishing instead? Can't you see I'm fishing now?”

“Huh?”

Ichika turned around upon hearing that and was startled as she gazed at Solomon.

“N-No, my brother-in-law was assigned to catch fish.”

“Which brother-in-law are you referring to?”

"W-Well, it's Vivi's dad. He said he could only go fishing because Sasha wasn't feeling well.”

None of them uttered a word thereafter.

Half an hour later, everyone departed to complete their tasks.

Sasha didn't have to enter the forest because her task was fishing. As such, she quietly gave somesushi and apples to Sabrina and Devin before they left.

"Sab, Ichika and Solomon haven't had any food. Give this to them if you see them, will you?" Sasharequested.

Sabrina frowned, but she eventually took the food with her.

Later, when Sabrina and Devin entered the forest, the former started, “Look at how everything hasturned out. I mean, it would be all right if Ichika didn't join us in the first place. Now, all of us feelawkward because Sasha's kindness has messed things up.”

“To be fair, none of us expected that. Nevertheless, I personally think it's a good thing.”

“How can it be a good thing?”

Sabrina gazed at Devin in bewilderment.

Devin nodded and said, “Well, think about it. Solomon will lose control one day if he continues tokeep this demon in his heart. Now that there's only a few of us on the island, we can probably keephim under control.”

“Is that so?"

"Of course! He's a strong-headed man. If more people discovered his secrets, he might not be ableto escape from his virtual cage,” Devin explained to Sabrina thoroughly.

Deep down, Sabrina believed Devin was right. From a psychological perspective, one would buryone's secrets deep inside one's heart after being hurt deeply.

That was because one would be afraid to be hurt again and refuse to show his ugliest side to others.In extreme cases, one would become autistic and refuse to connect with others.

Sabrina knew that there were a lot of similar real-life instances.

Hence, Devin was right to say that it was a good opportunity to help Solomon. At the very least, allof them were considerate and willing to help Solomon walk out of the shadow.

Knowing that Devin was right, Sabrina could only heave a sigh

At this moment, Solomon was pondering about the same problem as well.

He realized that the others did not ignore him entirely as he had expected after arriving at theisland.

On the contrary, the three kids had gone up to him happily when they saw him.

Solomon and Ichika entered the forest and eventually met Devin and Sabrina. After putting somefood in Solomon's hands, Sabrina began to lecture him, “Are you still a kid? Why do I have to bringyou food?”

In the end, Devin had to drag Sabrina away to stop her from scolding Solomon.

With that, only Solomon and Ichika were left in the forest.

“The food is still hot. Darling, it's sushi. Sasha made these. Here, try some.” Ichika stared at the foodhappily and urged Solomon to try it.

Solomon lowered his head, picked up a piece of sushi, and passed it to Ichika, who was drooling.
