Chapter 361


    Chapter 361


    After Zoya left, she sent Renfrew back to the Duval Manor. She usually would only eat a little when she


    was hungry, and if she wasn’t hungry, she would keep herself busy and not eat properly.


    “Let’s make something delicious for dinner. Do you have anything in mind, Hesper? I remember you


    enjoyed the food I madest time. Do you want to have that tonight?” Arthur asked as he looked at


    Hesper affectionately. When she nodded, he went into the kitchen and asked the chef to prepare the


    food.


    Hesper was sitting on the couch, ying on her phone while waiting for Arthur. Suddenly, a pair of


    hands holding a ss of milk appeared in front of her.


    Hesper raised her head and became surprised. “Uncle Simon?”

    Simon nodded, and Hesper took the ss of milk he handed her. Simon then sat across from her. He


    had a pair of slightly upturned eyes that were different from the other sons of Arthur, giving him a


    somewhat feminine look.


    “Didn’t Matthew tell you anything? I’m staying at home now,” Simon said.


    Hesper nodded, and then she shook her head. “Matt just told me that you’ll be staying in Emperion. He


    didn’t mention that you’d be staying here… I just didn’t expect that you woulde to me, so I was a


    little surprised.”


    “Hmm?” Simon narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled. “Well, it seems like you’ve heard of that matter


    as well. Then I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I’m sure you didn’te back to celebrate the


    New Year, right? Just let me know if you have some doubts. I may be able to help


    you.”


    Initially, Hesper had been thinking of how she should persuade Simon to help her. She did not expect


    Simon to bring it up so directly.


    “Thank you, Uncle Simon.”


    When Arthur came back, he saw Hesper talking to Simon and was a little bit taken aback. “It’s


    surprising to see you two talking to each other. I get angry after talking to him for only two minutes, so


    you don’t have to care about him, Hesper.”


    Simon let out a long sigh. “I know you don’t like me, so I’ll go upstairs.”


    Hesper stifled augh. Although Simon and Arthur did not get along, only Simon could argue with him


    among the younger generation of the Lanes.


    After Simon went upstairs, Arthur turned to Hesper and said sternly, “Although we were joking just now,


    you should stay away from Simon.”


    “Huh? But why?”


    Arthur fell silent as if he had recalled some unpleasant memories. He let out a sigh afterwards and


    patted Hesper’s head. “Simon… He didn’t like you very much in the past.”


    ‘He didn’t like me?’ Hesper thought inwardly, but she shook her head after a short while.


    ‘No. This can’t be… It must be Rachael who he didn’t like, right? But Rachael was only a kid when she


    went missing, so how could Simon dislike a little kid? It just doesn’t make any sense.”


    Hesper had a lot of questions in her head, but looking at Arthur’s expression, she instinctively felt that


    now was not the right time to ask any questions, so she threw them to the back of her mind.


    “After some time, he’s going overseas again, so you don’t have to care about him. Just remember,


    don’t talk to him while you’re here.”


    Hesper was already very confused, and Arther’s words made her even more puzzled now. Theodore


    and Shawn were already a mystery to her, and now there was Simon too.


    “We’ll be holding a gathering in a few more days. Why don’t youe with me and meet the young


    people of other families?” Arthur said, “You’ve been busy ever since you came back, and you didn’t


    meet anyone other than the descendant of the Tuckers. Some of my friends said it’s really hard to get a


    chance to see you, so I want to finally show them how beautiful and outstanding my precious


    granddaughter has be.”
