Chapter 441

"I don’t think I’ll be giving a speech or anything like that just yet. It’s very rare for our place to be this boisterous, so let’s not spoil the fun." Pennleigh turned his head to the side and picked up a piece of celery and shrimp cocktail for Hesper. "This is our home chef’s signature dish, try it."‘She doesn’t like celery.’Rickard watched this scene coldly, but in the next second, Hesper actually picked the piece of celery up and smiled at Pennleigh. "Wow, it tastes much better than expected."Pennleigh realized it and said apologetically, "Do you not like celery?"Rickard’s gaze was still fixed on them, and although Hesper did not turn her head, she could still feel his scorching gaze, so she shook her head indifferently. "I might not have liked it very much in the past, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t like things that I didn’t like before, right...? Actually, it turns out that celery is more delicious than I imagined. It’s really good.""Glad to hear that."Even though

Seeing that Hesper had just said something in Pennleigh’s ear before walking out, Rickard looked away too.Hesper and Pennleigh were indeed very close. Rickard could tell that what Hesper had said just now was targeted at him.‘In the past, she might not fall for someone like Pennleigh, but things are different now.’However, Rickard still did not believe it."I’ll head out for a short while."Petruchio did not think much about it. After all, he knew exactly how busy Rickard could be. If it was not for their good relationship, Rickard might not have stayed for lunch. He nodded. "Go then. If you have something to do, you don’t have to stay back and entertain us.""I’m not busy at all.""Huh?"Rickard retracted his gaze and frowned. "I mean, I’m not very busy nowadays, and there are quite a few things that I have to attend to in Fredonia, so... Can I continue to bother you for a while longer?""Of course, I wouldn’t say no to that."Unexpectedly, not only did Rickard not want t

Hesper suddenly felt that the setting sun was too dazzling to her taste. She did not like it anymore.Rickard was still standing upright, but his finely-defined face gave off a slight hint of helplessness. "I’m not belittling you...""I know, you’re just stating the facts."It had been so long, Hesper had certainly made peace with this fact, but she was not doing too bad herself now. "Mr. Duval, why come to see me personally? Since you can’t fulfill my wish, is there anything else that I should know?"Rickard frowned. "Pennleigh Pasino."‘Sure enough.’Rickard’s gaze had seldom left her and Pennleigh throughout the whole luncheon, so Hesper was not surprised that Rickard would ask her about him. After all, she had already experienced the possessiveness of men.‘He was already extremely sensitive and suspicious when he had no feelings for me, let alone now when he’s slightly into me.’"Pennleigh is now my boyfriend. Haven’t you already seen it?""Impossible." Hesper shrugged as

Chapter 444

Hesper did not go light with the stomp, so Rickard let go of her and frowned, while Hesper immediately ran to the side and started taking in gasps of fresh air.Although Hesper and Rickard had had a child together, Hesper’s recollection of what happened that night was still rather vague, and nothing intimate had happened between the two of them after marriage. Theoretically speaking, this was the closest she had ever gotten to him as far as she could remember.Hesper could hear that her heartbeat was chaotic and took a few deep breaths before glaring at Rickard, who looked as calm as a toad in the sun."Have you lost your mind? Are you even Rickard Duval?"Her hair was a little messed up.Rickard was in a daze thinking that the distance between the two of them was actually not that far away, but it was still a lot farther compared to the distance between them when they were about to kiss a while before.Hesper saw that Rickard was staring at her without saying anything, almost to

——Seeing Pennleigh and Hesper coming back together, Isobella smiled, walked over, and hold Hesper’s hand."Hesper, Penn is really a clingy kid, huh? As soon as you left, he immediately wanted to go find you. I stopped him, but he actually snuck out."Pennleigh cleared his throat. "Mom, can you not embarrass me?"As he said so, Pennleigh winked at Hesper twice. She knew that it was probably because Rickard went after her, so Pennleigh chased out because he was worried, so she grinned knowingly.From Isobella’s perspective, it could be regarded as affection."Okay, alright, you youngsters should know what’s best for you." Isobella held Hesper’s arm. "Did Penn tell you about dessert making just now? What kind of dessert do you like? I’ll get the kitchen crew to make some for you. And let’s stay here for the night. We live quite far from the city, so it’s not safe for a young girl like you to go back at night."Living there was of course equivalent to living with Pennleigh. When He

Pennleigh was already a little annoyed, so Aelinor’s appearance at this time was obviously only adding fuel to fire. He did not give off a friendly expression."Aren’t there servants who can help you with that? Why would I know where you’re staying tonight? There are a lot of guests today." Pennleigh took a deep breath. He did not lose his head after all, but his tone still sounded very cold. "I’m going to look for Hesper."Aelinor bit her lower lip, stared at Pennleigh with her devastated gaze, and exclaimed instantly, "Do you know that Hesper was having an affair with our honored guest today? I saw everything at the garden just now. The two of them even..."Pennleigh’s gaze turned even colder. "Don’t talk nonsense.""But I saw it all—!" Aelinor’s voice became louder, so Pennleigh covered her mouth. Fortunately, there was no one around, and no one was paying attention to her from the distance.Pennleigh breathed a sigh of relief. "Alie, shut up."Although Pennleigh’s voice had s

Hesper cleared her throat as it seemed a little hard to resist Aelinor’s enthusiasm.‘It’s not difficult to see that she’s an arrogant princess that’s been doted on and spoiled all her life. She’s different from Dianthe; although Dianthe is rather arrogant too, at least it’s easier for someone to reason with her when compared to Aelinor. After all, Aelinor may still be a little too young. Every single emotion that she feels could be seen through her expression.’‘So...’‘With the sudden change in Aelinor’s attitude towards me, Pennleigh’s mother should also be able to sense it.’Hesper could not help but feel slightly stressed. "You can add me as a friend on social media when you get back. I’ll give you a list through the platform, but it’s better for us to keep our distance now. Otherwise, Aunt Isobella will notice."Hearing this, Aelinor nodded and looked a little confused. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten so close to you. I promise I’ll continue to tease you like I did just

Hesper lowered her head and avoided exchanging gazes with Rickard, but fortunately, Petruchio and Isobella did not dig deeper regarding this matter. They only exchanged a few words, and dinner was almost over.When Hesper agreed to stay, she never thought that Rickard would be staying here too, so she frowned and went to see Pennleigh. "Why is Rickard staying in your house? Why have I never heard that your families know each other very well?"Pennleigh felt a little miserable too; he did not want Rickard to stay, but this whole thing was decided between Petruchio and Rickard, and he only knew about this not long before Hesper got informed."Okay... Anyway, it’s only one night. I’ll head back first thing in the morning tomorrow.""Yeah, that’s the only way to go now."Pennleigh led Hesper to the guest room. It could be seen that someone had specially rearranged this room a few days in advance. It seemed very suitable for ladies to stay in, and a work area had been set aside for Hes

Chapter 449

Rickard knew that things were not as simple as Renfrew thought, but from a certain point of view, Hesper had done nothing wrong, she was just very unlucky."Now that Mommy has been found, can we bring her home?"Rickard shook his head.Seeing that, Renfrew frowned and then heard Rickard say, "But I won’t leave easily this time around. Don’t worry, the investigation about Daybreak has finally made some progress. With that, I can probably obtain some information about the doctor who can heal Mommy’s legs too.""I’ll definitely heal Mommy’s leg first.""You’re the one who says so!" Renfrew’s brows relaxed a little, but he still looked rather serious. "Mommy doesn’t like you very much in the first place. If you were to do something wrong again, Mommy will surely abandon you for real this time around!"Rickard felt a little helpless. Usually, the father should be the one educating the son, but he had never seen a son teach his father a lesson.Just as he was about to say something, t

Chapter 450

Hesper was a little speechless, but she was directly picked up by Rickard in the next second.Hesper was so astonished that she almost exclaimed, but if she and Rickard were to be seen in this posture, nothing she said would be able to clear her name, so she could only glare at Rickard with wide eyes."The injury on your legs has recurred. I forecast that it’ll rain tomorrow."Rickard hugged Hesper in his arms as if she was a child, strode into her room, and gently placed her on the bed. "Did you bring your painkiller with you? And be honest with me, did you ram into something just now?"Hesper blinked a few times in a row.‘Has this man been possessed by some spirits? Why does he sound so absurd? No matter what, such words shouldn’t come out of his mouth.’"Why are you looking at me?""How can you be so shameless?" Hesper turned her head away, and said awkwardly, "The injuries on my leg are thanks to you, so why put on a show in front of me and try to sympathize with me now?"
