Ranfik was speechless. 'Honestly, I don't want to tell him either,' he thought inwardly. Rickard approached Hesper with a coat in his hand. When he saw Hesper, he handed her the coat and said, "It's windy outside, put this on."Hesper took the coat and put it on. Ranfik rolled his eyes at them as he stood up. "Think about what I said. I'm sure Master Savatier will discuss it with you later," he said impatiently, "You know what? Forget what I just said. Let him talk to you about it."After that, he turned around and left.Both Hesper and Rickard gazed at each other in silence. Logically, Rickard had no reason not to realize that Hesper had been faking her amnesia. However, he had been exceptionally patient to her during this time. It was as if he was going along with her play."Let's go, Ranfik has already left. Why are you sitting here foolishly?" Hesper cleared her throat and stood up. However, she had been lying on the bed for so long that she felt dizzy when she stood up.

After comforting Juliette, Hesper said, "My memory has already been restored. There's no need to worry about me. I'm completely fine now." Juliette looked at Rickard, and he nodded indulgently. After all, they could not let anyone know that Hesper had only pretended to have amnesia out of impulsiveness. Most importantly, he was the one who should take the blame for this situation.Hesper cleared her throat and entered the Savatiers' estate. She knew that today's meeting was a farewell. They could not continue to stay on Leafdelle Island. After she was discharged from the hospital, they were going to leave. Quincy was well aware that Leafdelle Island was not their permanent home, as both Rickard and Hesper would eventually leave. Anticipating Hesper's discharge, the Savatiers had prepared a lot of delicious food and threw a party for her. Surrounded by the lively atmosphere, Hesper found herself reminiscing about the day she and Rickard first arrived on Leafdelle Island. The Sa

Only Hesper and Rickard were left strolling on the path back to their courtyard. Hesper suddenly spoke and mentioned Sherese. "Should we tell Quincey about… Sherese's identity?""So that's what's on your mind." Rickard paused and then shook his head. "Let Sherese decide."Hesper suddenly realized she hadn't seen Sherese in a while, so she asked, "Where is she? I haven't seen her recently and I thought you didn't want her to show up around me."After pausing for a while, Rickard shook his head. "I don't know either.""What?" Hesper wasn't expecting that answer. Sherese was like a sister to her, so she looked worried. "What's going on? Why would she suddenly disappear?""Don't worry," Rickard held her hand and said, "News that Brigette might still be alive got to Sherese. Her feelings for Mom are far stronger than mine."So Sherese went to seek out Brigette by herself?It was just a baseless rumor. Hesper didn't expect Sherese to search for her based on that. Rickard had been worr

Although Renfrew was a little sad, he was a mature child. He knew how much trouble Hesper and Rickard went through but he never showed it. He patted his mother's shoulder like an adult, his soft little face looking like he was way beyond his years. "I don't have you at all. You don't need to feel sad!"Hesper felt like laughing and crying at the same time. She wasn't worried that Renfrew would hate her because he had always been a mature child. She knew her son the best and knew he wasn't the type that would throw a tantrum. However, that made her feel even guiltier. At Renfrew's age, he should be living a carefree life and enjoying the love of his parents. He shouldn't have to worry about anything. All he had to do was spread his arms and the world would be his. However, Hesper and Rickard were the reason he had an invisible lock. Rickard knew what was on Hesper's mind, but he knew Renfrew's maturity was mostly not because of them, but because of his talent and personality.

"My dear brother."Benjamin paused when he heard that then hugged Theodore and Simon. "I'm sorry for coming back after so long. I'm sorry for making you worry."Just like when they were children, the usually smiley Benjamin's eyes welled up too. Hesper and Rickard watched them and felt a little sour. Benjamin didn't perform his duty as a father to Hesper, but to the Lanes, it was different. It wasn't the case for Matthew either. Matthew stood at the foot of the stairs without anyone noticing. Matthew looked a lot like his father, and seemingly noticing the gaze, Benjamin looked over and his heart skipped a beat. "Matthew." Hesper walked to Matthew with worry in her eyes, but Matthew shook his head. Benjamin made up his mind before returning, but when he saw his son who had carried the family on his shoulders, he had mixed emotions, but he was more worried that Matthew would loathe him. He left him and Hesper to seek what his heart desired. He wasn't a good father. "I'm

Rickard didn't say anything after finding out what was on Hesper's mind. It wasn't his place to interfere in Hesper's family affairs. What Hesper didn't notice was she actually looked sad when they were in the house. How could children not love their own parents? Only children would love their parents unconditionally.However, Hesper had her own ideas, so Rickard wouldn't try to change her mind because when she made the decision, she would be more confident about it. While the Lanes talked for a long time, Hesper never showed up. Matthew noticed when she left but he couldn't leave the rest of the family, so he was worried. However, Rickard was with Hesper and Matthew had to admit that Rickard was trustworthy. It wasn't Matthew's place to get involved. Meanwhile, Hesper didn't think much about the return of Benjamin to Lane Manor. She had work to finish. People who were linked to the hallucinogen were mostly arrested. Victor Bernard was the mastermind behind all of that; sinc

Hesper was even more shocked. She didn't know how to react. How could they be together?! Hesper couldn't accept it. Since when did her brother get together with Dianthe?"You don't know about this but most of Emperion does. Just go ask anyone out there and you'll know if this is true."Hesper believed Cheney because there was no point lying about this. Matthew was her brother, so if she wanted to confirm it, all she had to do was ask. However, she was shocked because of that. She would never imagine her brother being suddenly engaged with Dianthe. After leaving, Hesper snapped out of it and looked at Rickard. "Do you think this is a marriage of convenience? I remember Dianthe said she didn't want to be tied down this way.""Why don't you just ask her?"Rickard's words woke her up. That was true. Why didn't she just ask Dianthe?Matthew probably wouldn't be in the mood to answer questions now. Since Hesper left, she didn't want to disturb her family, so getting in touch wit

Although Hesper knew Rickard was always well-prepared, it still felt cruel. Meanwhile, on Leafdelle, Camille and Ranfik's marriage agreement was canceled. Camille had work to do at home, so they left even earlier. They had already settled down at the Moreau Mansion, so if Rickard wanted to divorce her, it wouldn't be difficult. "It was an agreement, so there's no reason to feel guilty," Rickard said as if he knew what Hesper was thinking. She understood that; she and Nathaniel had a fake marriage too. Maybe she was a little upset because she was too close to Camille. Soon after the divorce papers were sent to Camille, she sent the signed copy back. Their properties were notarized. This marriage was too childish. When Camille heard Hesper was feeling guilty, she couldn't help but smile. "Honestly, all your friends are happy to see you back with Rickard."Camille knew what went on between them the best. Although Rickard was her partner in a way, Camille had always been caref

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h

Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
