    “I’ve told you many times not to run around the garden. Didn’t you hurt yourself enough the previous


    time when you fell? Did you forgot

    about that already?”


    Ren, feeling sad, waved his hand. “No no, daddy. What are you doing outside? I’m just ying with


    Uncle Benji. Right, Uncle Benji?”


    “Yes, we’re just ying.” Benji forced a smile that looked worse than crying, but he didn’t dare defy the


    child. Once, he didn’t y along, and soon after that, the child nned his revenge and got him good.


    If it weren’t for Rickard walking by and saving him, he might still be stuck in a tree.


    Rickard saw through their pretense and red at Ren. “Go y by yourself. I need to speak to Uncle


    Benji.”


    “Okay,” the child quickly replied. He would say yes as long as he didn’t get punished.


    In the study.


    Benji wiped the sweat off his forehead and politely said, “Mr. Duval, our partnership with Lane Holdings


    is ending, but I heard that the person who took over this project is very enthusiastic. Who knows if


    something will change.”


    Sitting on the chair, Rickard was even more intimidating than he was three years ago. Time left


    experience and nothing more on him.


    “We’ll see how it goes then. As long as the project is still avable, we’ll be able to negotiate no matter


    who it changes to.”


    “Yes, sir.” Benji was ready to leave when he was called back. An unnoticeable expression shed


    across Rickard’s eyes.


    “What about what I asked you to investigate? Is there still no information about… her?”


    Benji quietly sighed.


    Ever since Mrs. Duval signed the divorce papers three years ago, Mr. Duval had not given up on


    finding her. However, the world was a huge ce, so it wouldn’t be easy to find someone.


    Furthermore, Hesper was probably doing her best to avoid them, so there was no news about her


    whatsoever.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Duval.”


    “It’s not your fault.” Rickard slowly closed his eyes. “She just doesn’t want to see us. You can leave


    now.”


    “…Alright.” Benji didn’t know what more to say, so he turned and left.


    The study immediately fell quiet. The evening sun shone on his face, but it didn’t make his loneliness


    look less.


    “Hesper, even if you don’t want to see me, don’t you want to see your own son…”


    Rickard subconsciously rubbed the ring on his finger. That was what she left along with the divorce


    papers.


    It was funny thinking about it. He didn’t want to get married, so he didn’t get her a ring. Hesper bought


    this for herself.


    However, after she left and a few years had passed, he


    subconsciously started wearing it.


    Meanwhile, after Renfrew got off clean, he casually ate some fruits in the living room. There was some


    movement at the stairs, so he looked up. It was the annoying aunt, Sophia.


    “What’s that look, you little rascal?”


    Sophia didn’t like him and never gave him a friendly look. She would put up a front when she was in


    front of Rickard, but in private, she always looked annoyed.


    The child was young but was very smart. He smiled without joy and said to his aunt, “What do you


    mean? What did I do?”


    “Stop pretending!” Sophia’s temper suddenly rose, and she rushed over to pinch his cheek.


    “Don’t, Ms. Duval.” When she saw what was happening, Wanda immediately pulled Renfrew into her


    arms. “Mr. Duval cares a lot


    about the young master. If you hurt him, Mr. Duval isn’t going to let this go!”
