Chapter 1372 Greedy
Her statement left Wendy and the rest at a loss.
Nevertheless, Wendy could not refute because the Minamotos were their distinguished guests. âAll
right,â Wendy agreed with a smile. âPlease excuse me. Iâll go ahead and prepare the rooms right now.â
By the time Solomon and Ichika finished moving the sake, the arrangements had been fixed.
How could Himari be so discourteous? This isnât even her home. Even if sheâs a guest, it doesnât
excuse her lack of propriety.
When Ichika learned of this news, she fumed in anger. Ichika spent the rest of dinner with a petulant
pout on her face.
Immediately, Solomon noticed Ichikaâs displeasure. Once dinner ended, he made his way to her. With a
low voice, he said to her, âDonât worry about it. Sasha and the rest will not mind. Later, Iâll head home
and bring you your personal belongings.â
âHuh?â Hearing this, Ichika looked up. âD-Darling, youâll be home alone. Will that be all right?â Ichika
asked hesitantly.
Clearly, everything happened because of her. But judging from Ichikaâs tone, she had no intentions of
staying here. Instead, she wanted to return home and keep her husband company.
Ichikaâs question left Solomon speechless. He lowered his head and glanced at her worried gaze.
Wordlessly, Solomon heaved out a heavy sigh before he spun on his heel and left.
Meanwhile, Wendy was changing the bedsheets of the guestroom upstairs.
Unlike Hillside Villa, Frontier Bay had plenty of rooms to accommodate several guests.
Despite its immense size, Wendy chose the second floor as the Minamotosâ temporary residence. The
third floor was reserved solely for Sebastian and his family.
Suddenly, Wendy heard someone making their way upstairs.
âWow! I want to stay on the third floor. Mom, look at the gorgeous view up here. Thereâs even a balcony
and swimming pool. We can go swimming tomorrow!â
Following the joyful voice, Wendy heard the sound of high heels clicking against the wooden floor as
the person ran upstairs.
Oh no⦠In haste, Wendy scurried out of the room to stop the intruder.
âYou arenât allowed to go upstairs. Thatâs where Mommy and Daddy live. Hurry up and come back
down! If you donât, they will be very mad if they find out!â
Before Wendy could open her mouth, a small figure had rushed out of the hanging garden to the foot of
the stairs. There, the little girl placed her hands on her hips and yelled at the intruder on the third floor.
The little girl was none other than Vivian.
Wendy paused when she saw Vivian. At the same time, she couldnât help but smile in amusement.
Vivi appeared at the right time.
Himari was roaming around the third floor when she heard the childâs voice. Immediately, she stiffened
and came to a screeching halt.
Himari quickly changed her approach. âAre you Vivi? Your house is gorgeous. I couldnât help but look
around,â Himari explained as she looked at Vivian.
Despite that, Vivian gave her no mercy.
âThat doesnât mean you can enter the third floor. My daddy has mysophobia. He hates it when
someone goes to the third floor. He also doesnât like strangers touching Mommyâs stuff! He built the
swimming pool for her. The flowers on the balcony are also Mommyâs favorites. Youâd better come
down right now!â Vivian glared at Himari. âIf Daddy learns of this, you will have to face the
consequences of your actions!â Vivian said as a final warning.
Vivian had said nothing but the truth. In this villa, the third floor was off-limits to everyone except
Sebastian, Sasha, and their three children. No one else was allowed to enter it as they pleased.
Left with no choice, Himari heeded Vivianâs warnings and returned to the second floor.
Her face was flushed with embarrassment.
âMrs. Minamoto, Ms. Himari, please accept my sincerest apologies. Sheâs still young and naive.
Usually, no one ever goes up to the third floor. Hence, Vivi tried to stop Ms. Himari,â Wendy quickly
rushed out of the guestroom and apologized profusely.
âItâs all right. Himari shouldnât have wandered into their personal bedrooms.â Mrs. Minamoto was utterly
ashamed by her daughterâs rude antics.
Fortunately, no one took Himariâs actions to heart. After the incident, Aoi and Himari made their way to
the guestroom, which Wendy prepared for them earlier.
When Himari entered the guestroom, she noticed the roomâs elaborate design right away. Yet, it could
not hold a candle to the breathtaking designs she had seen on the third floor. The stark contrasts
prompted Himari to seethe in envy.
âThis place is much more magnificent than Ichikaâs home. Why do they get to marry into such wealthy
families?â Himari complained.
âWerenât you the one who rejected the marriage in the first place?â Aoi snapped in reply.
She was in a foul mood as Himariâs rude mannerisms and actions had left her embarrassed.
On the other hand, Himari refused to admit her wrongdoings. Instead, she glared out the window with a
spiteful look. âI wasnât the one who didnât want it,â Himari retorted as she looked at the garden. âIchika
snatched it away from me. Mom, since the Hayeses are rolling in dough, maybe I should marry
someone from their family too.â
âY-You!â Aoi was so angry she couldnât muster a proper response.
Coincidentally, someone knocked on their door, interrupting their conversation.
âMom, I brought your pajamas here. Are you inside?â Ichika called out from the other side of the door.
She had made a quick trip home to collect Himari and Aoiâs toiletries.
Quickly, Aoi opened the door to let her daughter in.
