Chapter 346


    Chapter 346


    Hesper mentioned Renfrew to test Rickard.


    Hesper felt that something was off when he sent Renfrew to her, but she couldn’t put a finger on it. Now


    that he was back, why hadn’t he taken Renfrew back?


    He knew that Renfrew was her only weakness.

    Whether it was because of theirpanies’ situations or if Rickard really fell for her and wanted to use


    Renfrew to get to her, none of that should have happened.


    Why did he leave Renfrew with her? Did he really just want them to be together, or was there an


    ulterior motive?


    Hesper was too sensitive. Rickard knew that if he couldn’t give a good reason, she would send


    Renfrew back to him. Myriade would then leave and go back to Daybreak.


    All his trails would be lost then.


    “Because…” Rickard frowned. Hepser looked at him and knew that he was hiding something from her.


    “Because my mom wants to find me a new wife.”


    “What?” Hesper didn’t know how to react because she wasn’t expecting him to give that as a reason.


    She blinked. “What does this have anything to do with Ren? He’s not your illegitimate son. Your future


    wife can’t ept him?”


    “…” Rickard just came up with an excuse at the moment, but seeing how Hesper was just inquisitive


    instead of being jealous, he felt sad.


    However, he said what he said, so now he had to try and cover-up.


    Rickard cleared his throat and said, “Ren is still so young. I’m worried that he’ll feel sad if some


    stranger came over and said things to him.”


    “Oh…” Hesper had thought that it was a terrible excuse, but now it sounded more eptable.


    Knowing Julie and what she would want in a daughter-inw, she might just choose another Juniper- a


    conniving woman who sounded sweet. If Renfrew was only going to be bullied-again, he was better off


    staying with her.


    “Mm-hmm.” Rickard nodded. “So, Ren will be staying with you for now. I’ll bring him home when I’m


    ready.”


    Hesper nodded while still in thought, then she suddenly came to a realization. “Wait, you’re going to get


    married?”


    Rickard was confused.


    “… Um… I’ll dy it for as long as I can.” Rickard sighed, then continued. “I won’t remarry because it’s


    unfair to Ren and to you too.”


    He said that with an expression that was far too sincere, so Hesper had to look away.


    “You can just marry anyone as long as Ren is okay with it. What does any of it have to do with me?


    Hesper didn’t care. If Rickard remarried, she’d just find a different way to take revenge.


    She was going to take Renfrew away sooner orter, so his remarriage wouldn’t affect Renfrew too


    much anyway.


    “Hesper, the after-party is starting. Why are you-”


    Celine’s voice came from behind them. Hesper checked her watch and noticed that it was time for the


    after-party. She came out to test Rickard, but now, it was time to go back.


    Celine had never seen Rickard before nor did she know who he was. She only saw that the two of


    them looked awkward standing together. She didn’t know if she should say anything.
