Chapter 359


    Chapter 359


    “No one knows the exact reason why, but Uncle Simon submitted an application to leave the army after


    Father’s ident. Grandpa has always thought that he’s a deserter, but I don’t think he left. because


    he was worried for his life.”


    Matthew’s voice sounded somewhat helpless. “However, Uncle Simon has never exined himself.


    After the incident, he went abroad and rarelyes back.”


    “Uncle Simon and Uncle Theo are very close. So, if you could build a good rtionship with the former,


    you won’t have to worry about getting to know more about thetter.”


    Hesper said that she understood what she had to do after returning to Emperion, and the two of them


    moved on to briefly talk about work arrangements. After all, Hesper would return to Emperion for a


    period of time soon. She should deal with some of the tasks on hand in advance so that Renee would


    not have to bury herself in work when Hesper was away.


    “Hesper.”


    “Huh?” Hesper lifted her head. “What’s the matter?”


    Matthew shook his head. “It’s nothing, I just hope that you’re not draining yourself too much.”


    “…Mhmm.” Hesper could not help but feel that there was an underlying message lying underneath


    Matthew’s concern, but she could not figure out what he wanted to say. However, it was pointless for


    her to think too much, so she simply stopped thinking about it.


    Roberto had recuperated a lot throughout this period of time, and the wound had scabbed over. Hesper


    could not continue to take care of him, as she was about to go back to Emperion, so she went to visit


    Roberto onest time in the hospital before leaving.


    As soon as she entered the ward, she heard an ongoing conversation and was surprised to see


    Nathaniel standing in front of the bed.


    “What are you doing here?”


    Hearing Hesper’s question, Nathaniel waved his hands helplessly. “Obviously, I’vee here to visit


    Roberto. I heard that he was injured, so as a friend, I just had toe and see him.”


    Hesper had been a little upiedtely, so she forgot that Roberto and Nathaniel were friends for


    a moment.


    It was just that Nathaniel seemed to being to Genecity very frequently recently, and something bad


    seemed to have happened every time he came by, so whenever she saw him, Hesper could not help


    but feel that something had gone wrong.


    “Guys, I know the rtionship between you two, so why act so aloof?”


    Roberto’s question made Hesper feel a little embarrassed. She did not know where to start with her


    exnation.


    While she was still pondering, Nathaniel had already taken the initiative to exin. “The engagement


    between me and Hesper is just a unteral wish of our parents. Hesper didn’t even grow up with the


    Lanes, so she and I don’t really know each other very well. We’re just friends.”


    Hesper immediately nodded in agreement.


    Roberto looked at the two of them, then sighed. “I thought you two were close to getting married. You


    look as if you’d make a perfect match. But in the end, it turns out that you’re just friends.”


    Hesper realized something at this moment.


    ‘Recently, more and more elderly are starting to push me when ites to my love life. But Nathaniel


    and I are still tied together by the engagement agreement, so it’s not a particrly unusual thing for


    everyone to misunderstand our rtionship. I should probably find a way to dissolve this agreement


    when I go back to Emperion this time.”


    “I heard from Matthew that you’re going back to Emperion soon. Is there any urgent matter that you


    have to deal with back in Emperion?” Nathaniel asked. “If necessary, I can lend you a hand.”


    Nathaniel’swork in Emperion was indeed much wider than hers, but after giving it some thought,


    Hesper rejected his proposal.


    ‘This matter is rted to Shawn, which might involve the Lanes’ reputation. My identity is also


    something that I can’t just share with Nathaniel so casually. Getting him to help would only lead to more


    chaos.’


    Hesper shook her head. “Thank you for your offer, but there’s no need for that. They’re just some minor


    affairs.


    “To be honest, the thing that worries me more is my work in Genecity. Lane Holdings’ branch office has


    just started to show some growth in numbers yet I’m already leaving the city for Emperion. This will


    definitely dy a lot of tasks.”N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
