Chapter 140Chapter 140
“I’m here to apologize to you about what happened yesterday,” Rickard took some time to say.
Something seemed to be hiding behind his dark eyes.
novelbinThey were married for a while, so Hesper was able to tell.
“That isn’t worth you coming all the way here. What else?”
“Ren’s birthday will be in a few days. Do you have any plans?”
Hesper remembered, as she had to go through a lot for that birth. He had been arranging the parties in
the past, so it was understandable that he asked her.
After thinking about it, Hesper slowly said, “I just returned, so let’s celebrate at my place.”
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.”
“What?”
Rickard calmly said, “Grandpa wants to throw him a party and will be inviting some people over.”
Hesper frowned but didn’t reject him. “Alright.”
The second she said that, she noticed the man smiling.
Seeing that he was still sitting there, Hesper tried to hint at him to leave. “Anything else?”
“No, I’ll show myself out then.”
Hesper was baffled as she watched him walk away but then shifted her focus back to work. Rickard took a detour and contacted Renfrew. “Where are you?”
Renfrew was reading at home. “At Mommy’s place.
“Send me your location. I’ll come and get you.”
“Okay.” The innocent child, not realizing that his father was using him, sent his location.
Rickard got there soon.
Saying he wanted to eat some fruits, Renfrew sent away the bodyguards Hesper had left to guard him,
then let his father in.
“Why are you here, Dad?”
Rickard looked around the place, admiring her taste. It was simple, clean, and cozy.
He went straight to the point. “I’m here to see you and ask if you want Mommy and I to show up
together on your birthday.”
Renfrew nodded hard. “Of course, I do!”
He went to other kids’ birthday parties, and they had both parents present. As for him, there was only
ever Dad. Even though he never said it, having both parents was something he yearned for.
Rickard, feeling sorry when he saw his son like that, patted his head. “In that case, you’ll have to
come up with a plan to get Mommy to come to our home so we can celebrate together.”
“But… Mommy probably wouldn’t go.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure she wouldn’t say no if you asked.” Renfrew beamed before suddenly realizing how cunning his dad was. However, his desire to see both
his parents at his birthday party was very strong, so he nodded. “Alright, I’ll do my best!”
That night, when she got home, Hesper realized that something was off. “What’s wrong? Are you
unhappy?”
“Mommy, my birthday is coming soon.”
The little boy blinked his big dark eyes that could melt anyone’s heart.
Her heart did melt and she pulled him into her arms. “I know. I was planning to bring you to the
aquarium, but your Great grandpa already planned a party. I have to drive you there.”
“Aren’t you coming?” Renfrew was anxious. His eyes turned red at her silence. “Mommy, I really want
you to be there with me. You weren’t around in the past, but now that you’re back, you’re the one I look
forward to spending time with the most. Please come with me.”
