The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1434 The Truth

The wine was soon served. After pouring Aoi a glass, Solomon waited for her to speak.

“I know Ichika did some extreme stuff at your house yesterday and even ran away last night. That’s mainly what I want to talk to you about today.”

“Go ahead,” said Solomon. He took a sip of wine and nodded at her.

Aoi began to speak. “I’m wondering, Mr. Akiyama, if you remember the time when you first came to Jetroina?”

“Huh?” Solomon looked up at her abruptly, surprised by the question.

A gloomy look came into his eyes, revealing his reluctance in discussing the subject.

“What about it?”

“I’m sorry for bringing this up, but I was hoping you would recall the time when you’d just entered your adoptive father’s house. Do you remember a little girl who made you do certain things? That little girl was, in fact, Ichika.”

For her daughter’s sake, the woman no longer wanted to be tormented by the secret and decided to spit the truth.

As she expected, the moment she finished speaking, the man immediately jerked up his head, staring at her with his face frozen in shock.

Aoi’s heart sank when she saw his reaction.
