Chapter 181

“Let’s go in.”The teacher had to talk to the parents on the first day of kindergarten; both of them knew this.“Yeah.” Hesper nodded and asked Renee to go back by herself first, as she wanted to go to the mall to buy some delicious food with Renfrew after fetching him from school, only then would they go home.Rickard observed Hesper secretly from the side— Her hair was tied up, which was rare to see. It made her look very similar to the version of herself from way back, when she was in her student days and only dared to follow him around quietly, and it looked just like a tiny ponytail.Hesper seemed very happy that day; her brows and eyes looked unusually relaxed. She might not have even realized that, when the two of them were walking side by side, even the corners of her lips curled slightly upward.“Go left.” Hesper looked at Rickard, who was walking straight forward, and called out to him. “Rickard? What’s occupying that brain of yours?”‘You.’Rickard came back to his se

“So, it might be difficult for him to integrate into the group because his mindset is not on the same level as the other children. I’m not saying that I think Renfrew doesn’t fit well with the class but that he looks very lonely, which is definitely detrimental to the growth of a child. I had imagined many possibilities before you came. After all, most of the children in our school come from relatively wealthy families. Renfrew’s personality most probably comes from his family, and judging from your interactions, I’m guessing that you seem to be at odds...”Hesper walked out of the kindergarten holding Renfrew’s hand. Seeing that the little fella was holding her hand and following her obediently, Hesper suddenly felt a little sad.Ms. Zeelen’s words continued to linger in her mind. Hesper knew that the superficial relationship that she had with Rickard might seem reliable and would make others envious; that was why they had agreed to come today.After all, no one would want their ch

After listening to Hesper’s words, Renfrew fell asleep in satisfaction. Hesper then turned off the lamp and walked out of the room, unable to hold her tears back anymore.Rickard did not come the next day. Some urgent matters came up all of a sudden, and he had to deal with them. Even though he thought about coming over again, he could not just leave the company to fend for itself.“Did Hesper and Renfrew arrive at the kindergarten safely?”Benji gave him an affirmative answer and started to read through today’s itinerary. He then saw Rickard frown and stopped.“What’s the matter, sir? Is there anything wrong with today’s schedule?”Rickard remained silent for a while and then voiced out, “It’s too compact.”“What?” Benji thought he had heard wrongly for a moment. ‘What the heck?! What did my workaholic boss just say? Did I just hear him complain about his schedule being too compact?’“Sir, are you sick?” Benji looked at Rickard worriedly, but Rickard looked healthy and fine.

Chapter 184

Hesper was aware of Professor Jenkins’s eccentric behaviors, but she still could not bear being hit by his wrath.“Uh, looks like it’s already time for me to get to one of my classes. I’ll be going now.”Jessie gave Hesper a ‘good luck’ expression then quickly escaped the room.‘Is she kidding me?! Doesn’t she know about my father when it comes to giving someone a good talking to? I was only standing by the side back there and it felt like I was the one who was being scolded, not to mention that he hasn’t even gone off the charts just yet. If Dad loses his chill and starts to rain fire and brimstone, I might not even be able to leave his office!’“Please accept my apologies, Professor Jenkins.”Xavier sneered, lowered his head, and took a sip of tea. “I thought I’d be surrounded by my children and grandchildren the next time I got to see you.”Before Xavier came to Genecity and became a professor, he had been living in Emperion. He was a local that spoke with an Emperionian accen

Hesper shook her head. In fact, she understood the underlying message in Xavier’s tone. Mostly, he just sounded like he was exasperated because she had failed to meet his expectations; other than that, he did not intend to blame her. He might be strict, but he had always been an excellent teacher.Jessie clicked her tongue and shook her head lightly. “I don’t believe that my father can spit anything positive out of his mouth. If all you do is show him respect, then he’ll only think that you’re a pushover.”“Ahem, ahem.” Hesper looked at the man who opened his office door silently and tried her best to wink at Jessie, warning her about her father’s presence.However, Jessie had started badmouthing her father and she felt unstoppable, so she did not even pay attention to Hesper’s expression for a while.“Jessie Jenkins, I never knew that you have so many things to say, huh?”As soon as Xavier spoke, Hesper could not help but burst into laughter. Jessie’s face turned pale instantly.

“Mommy, something seems to be bothering you today!”Seeing Renfrew running out of the kindergarten with a small backpack, Hesper wanted to restrain her troubled expression, but Renfrew still noticed it keenly.“Mommy’s fine. It’s just something from work.”On her way there, Hesper could not take her mind off the competition that Jessie had brought up.‘It’s clear that Duval Group’s influence in Genecity is still greater in all aspects. Especially when it comes to this joint competition. Because Genecity University has been steadily exporting talents into society every year, this design competition that Duval Group and Genecity University co-organized initially has gradually become more and more authoritative in the industry.‘However, with the delicate relationship that I have with Rickard in the way, it’ll be extremely awkward if I used this competition as a springboard to get myself into the public’s sight.’On the way, Hesper also searched for more authoritative and well-known

“Is Grandpa sick?”Rickard remained silent and did not deny it, which, in Hesper’s eyes, was equivalent to him admitting it.Hesper pulled the car over and parked in a parking space on the side of the road, then turned around and looked at Rickard with a worried expression. “How did Grandpa fall ill all of a sudden? Didn’t his condition stabilize after he went abroad and received treatment?”When Renfrew heard that his great-grandfather was sick, he immediately looked at Rickard.‘Among the Duvals, other than Daddy, Great-grandpa is the only person who treats me well!’The reason why Rickard did not want to mention it was, of course, that he did not want Hesper to get distracted by worrying about this matter. But the main reason was that Ernest now knew what happened before Hesper left.He had locked the recording pen that Hesper left behind back then in his study, but when Ernest came to find a document the other day, he accidentally found the recording pen that had been locked

The next day, Hesper and Rickard got ready very early in the morning and went to the Duvals’ ancestral mansion to visit Ernest together.Originally, with his current health condition, Ernest should have been hospitalized for close observation, but he claimed that he had been staying in the hospital for too long, and he was about to forget what the outside world looked like, so he insisted on staying away from the hospital.Apart from that, Ernest’s doctor was not someone from the hospital, and the treatments that he had received when he was abroad were levels apart from the current medical standards in the country. It was just that it was more convenient to run full body checkups and tests while he lived in the hospital.Rickard could not argue with his grandfather, not to mention that he did not dare to anger him at this time. After all, Ernest had already rejected his request to visit him several times because he had been deceived into wronging Hesper back then.“Has Grandpa woke

Ernest was waiting for Hesper in the pavilion located in the middle of the garden. His eyes lit up when he saw the three of them.“Grandpa...” Hesper suddenly felt a little nervous and timid as she approached Ernest...‘I left without even leaving a message behind back then, and I haven’t contacted him throughout all these years. Although the rest of the Duvals had done me wrong in the first place, Grandpa has always treated me with absolute kindness.’Ernest seemed to have seen through Hesper’s worries and waved his hand. “It’s okay, I’ve found out about everything that happened three years ago. I wouldn’t blame you even if you didn’t come back to see me. What happened back then is all their fault, along with this grandson of mine, who was blind. The Duvals are the ones who have done you wrong.”Hesper shook her head, while Rickard listened quietly, and Renfrew rubbed his eyes in his daddy’s arms while watching his mother and great-grandpa chatting in a daze. The little rascal loo

Chapter 190

As noon approached, Ernest invited the three to stay back for lunch. Wendy claimed that Hesper must give her current cooking skills a try, as they had not seen each other in ages. If they were to leave without eating a meal, Wendy would take it as blatant disrespect.Hesper could not argue with them and thus, agreed with the suggestion, as there was no urgent matter that she had to attend to.However, her phone vibrated twice suddenly. Hesper frowned, lowered her head, and glanced at the notification that appeared on the screen. As expected, it was a message from Julian, who had gone off the grid for a long time.“I’m sorry, Hesper. I didn’t see your message because some things came up. Professor Miles thinks that I should go and take a look at Mr. Duval Sr. first, but because of these incidents... I can’t show up now. I’ll explain this matter to you later. Is Mr. Duval Sr.’s condition very serious now? But I won’t be able to travel back for at least another two weeks.”“Hesper?”
