Chapter 54
It was just as Hesper imagined.
When Rickard/realized that he couldn’t find her, he immediately went to the hospital.
“Mr. Duval, the hospital director said that Julian left a few hours ago.”
Rickard’s legs grew weak as he balled up his fists.
She remembered to bring Julian along. She had everything figured out, except him and their child!!
“Keep investigating! Find her even if you need to dig into the ground!”
Seeing him losing his temper, Benji wanted to ask why Hesper leaving would make him so angry but didn’t in the end.
Only Rickard would know the reason.
Night fell and Rickard returned home tired after searching everywhere without finding her.
Sophia and Junpier, who were waiting in the living room, immediately scolded him. “Where have you been? Did you go search for Hesper? Let the woman leave. Why would you waste time searching for her?”
Rickard looked at Sophia. The insult and disdain on her face made him feel disgusted.
“Shut your mouth. She’s your sister-in-law.”
“I-” Sophia wanted to refute but was stopped by Rickard’s chilling
gaze.
When Juniper heard ‘sister-in-law’, her heart shuddered and her eyes turned red.
“Rickard, did you catch feelings for her? Is her departure so important
to you?”
Rickard didn’t speak because he didn’t know the answer to that.
He knew that when he realized that Hesper wasn’t coming back, his heart felt empty and it felt extremely uncomfortable.
That emptiness seemed to only be able to be filled if he saw her again.
“Don’t forget that she forced me to leave! If it wasn’t because of her, we would have been married with our own children! She broke us up and forced you to marry her. How could you fall for her!”
Juniper shouted from the bottom of her heart. She had planned and done so much yet he didn’t have her in his heart.
Yes, Hesper was the problem behind everything. She was guilty and should be punished. Juniper was the innocent one, and now that Hesper was gone, he should make it up to her.
“Let me think about it.” Rickard waved his hand and turned to walk to the study.
A few minutes before he came in, the person who was in charge of cleaning up picked up the recording pen. After wiping it clean, she placed it in the pen holder, where it blended in with the other pens. It was impossible to distinguish it from the rest.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates…
As time went by, the pen and the secret it held were buried under dust.
Three years later.
“Young master, stop running or you’ll fall.”
The child that was just a baby had grown much taller. He loved running around after Benji in the garden, which gave Benji a lot of grief.
“Uncle Benji, come catch me.”
The child kicked his little legs and was just getting started when a strict voice came from the balcony.
“Renfrew Duval!”
“Oh no, daddy is coming.” The child turned pale and stood on the spot.
After a few seconds, Rickard showed up at the balcony with a stoic expression, playing the part of a strict father.
