Chapter 1434 The Truth

“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.

“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.”
