Chapter 175Chapter 175
He had crossed the line.
Rickard’s hand froze in mid-air, then he took it back.
“I’m sorry.”
Hesper didn’t speak, so Rickard continued. “I’m fine with sending him to school, but we need to ask
Ren if he’s fine with it.”
It was fine to ask Ren’s opinion because Hesper respected his opinion. Whether he went or not would
be up to him. She wouldn’t make the decision for him even though she was his mother.
“Alright, we’ll speak to him tomorrow.”
Hesper looked tired, so Rickard didn’t say more. “I’m leaving now, rest well.”
The next day when Renfrew got there, Hesper and Rickard brought up the topic.
“Do you not want me around anymore?” Renfrew thought that Hesper wanted to send him to boarding
novelbinschool, so he gave her puppy eyes. “I’ll be good. I ate half a scoop of ice cream last night but I won’t do
it again. Please don’t send me away!”
Hesper was surprised at the confession. She told him to not have more ice cream because the season
was changing and he might just catch a cold, or something worse.
The child nodded with teary eyes. “Please don’t send me away!”
Hesper didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she explained what a nursery was. They weren’t
sending. him away. They would send him over tomorrow morning and bring him back in the evening. “The teachers will teach you something and you get to play with other children.”
Hesper patiently hugged Renfrew. “Even though it’s not mandatory, children should still have friends of
their age. Don’t you want friends?”
Friends like Ms. Myriade?
Renfrew’s eyes shone. Before he met Ms. Myriade, he didn’t know what friends were, but he was
always happy when he spent time with her.
It was different from when he spent time with Daddy and Mommy!
“I want to go.”
Hesper looked at his shiny eyes and couldn’t help but pinch his soft cheeks. “You’re such a good boy.”

Rickard watched the mother and son’s loving interaction. Even though Renfrew grew up by his side,
they
were never so close.
Mothers could never be replaced.
“Can you go to the nursery with me?” Renfrew looked from one parent to the other. “Would the other
kids. go with their parents too?”
Hesper didn’t know the answer to that. It was true, but her relationship with Rickard… Sitting together
with Rickard talking so calmly was her limit. However, when she saw the anticipation in his eyes, Hesper couldn’t reject him, so she looked over to
Reickard and hoped that he could come up with something.
