    “Alfred knows me better. He wouldn’tmit such a mistake, and I trust him with my stuff”


    Locke had no choice but to nod. “You’re too kind, Uncle Ehren. If you always act like this, others will


    take advantage of you. Next time, I’ll have Daddy teach you. When he gets angry, everyone who works


    for him listens to him…”


    As Locke pushed Ehren away, the servant scoffed disdainfully. He’s so cocky because he was lucky


    enough to be born as a Sulzbach. If he weren’t one of them… Hriph


    “So the friend with a bad temper you told me about before was Ehren? Hesper asked.


    The reason she was not very surprised was that the Sulzbachs, the Tuckers, and the Lanes maintained


    a good rtionship. It was just that she only learned about Ehrens condition on that day. “It seems to


    me that Ehren has been bound to a wheelchair for a long time. Was it congenital?


    “Nope,” Nathaniel replied. “It was because of an ident. However, it’s been many years since, and so


    many doctors have examined his legs. Silvan also treats Ehren well, but they have yet to find a way to


    cure him.”


    “Well, I’m familiar with that.” Hesper let out a bitter smile. T’ll be able to rte to him even better when


    my leg wears out to the limit in a few years and I won’t be able to walk anymore.”


    “Please don’t say that. I’m sure there must be a way to heal your legs. Your brother and Julian haven’t


    given up hope of finding a doctor for you,” Nathaniel said. He turned around, fixed his gaze on her, and


    continued seriously. “It’ll get better.”


    Nathaniel was not the first one tofort her.


    Even though she was aware that it was not that easy to cure her leg, she still forced a smile on her


    face. “Well, I’ll take your word for it.”


    “Nate? I didn’t know you were here!”


    Hesper and Nathaniel turned their heads as a few people Hesper did not know walked overto them.


    Since they were of marriageable age, she assumed that they must have been brought over by their


    elders to attend the matchmaking session.


    Nathaniel knew each and every one of them. While they were talking, Hesper sat at the side and stared


    nkly at the flower.


    “Are you Rachael? We haven’t seen each other ever since you went missing.” The girl who called out


    to Nathaniel before approached Hesper. With her arm stretched forward and a big smile on her face,


    she introduced herself to Hesper. “My name is Dianthe Bayless. You’ve probably already forgotten


    about me, but we used to be very close when we were kids.”


    The people around themughed and Hesper could tell from their reactions that the rtionship


    between Rachael and Dianthe might not have been as good as Dianthe imed. However, Dianthe


    seemed like a harmless girl, so Hesper reached out her hand and said, “I’m Hesper.”


    Dianthe rolled her eyes. Unlike other adults whose irises turned brown as they grew up, Dianthe’s irises


    were particrly ck and she looked youthful. For a moment, Hesper thought Dianthe was younger


    than her.


    “So, you call yourself Hesper now… Hmm, this a good name. It sounds a lot better than Rachael,”


    Dianthe said as she shook her head. “Rachael sounds like the name of a hooker, don’t you think?”


    “Dianthe.” Nathaniel shook his head.


    Dianthe stuck her tongue out. “Whatever. But I really think Hesper is a nice name. Right, Hesper?”


    Before Hesper could say anything, Nathaniel sighed helplessly and chimed in. “You can just ignore her.


    There’s something wrong with her head.”


    “Nate!” Dianthe was dissatisfied with Nathaniel’sment about her, but since they had always looked


    up to Nathaniel since they were kids, she could only puff her cheeks out. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop


    teasing her. Let’s exchange our contact information, Hesper.”
