    Chapter 404


    Since there was an important appointment the next day, Hesper forced herself to sleep, but she only


    fell asleep when it was almost dawn.


    Roberto probably took that into ount since he only went to see her when it was noon.


    Hesper had a long dream. She remembered that a lot happened in it, but when she woke up, all she


    felt was anxiety-


    That was why even though she had a sufficient amount of sleep, she still felt tired.


    Roberto looked at her and knew that she must have been through a lot. “You look tired. It could be jet


    However, even though he was her mentor, he didn’t want to get involved with her personal life.


    Hesper nodded then sighed. Her beautiful eyes were still shining but they weren’t as bright as before.


    Roberto’s friend was Halwanese. Hesper didn’t know Antellon that well, but she knew that Roberto had


    been driving for a long time because it became less and less crowded.


    “He’s not very sociable, so he lives a little far away from town. He once broke his leg, and I had to go


    and get him. If I didn’t, there could have been terrible consequences.”


    Hesper could tell that Roberto and this friend of his were not ordinary friends. They were probably


    closer.


    Roberto paused, then continued. “He’s a little entric and can be very impolite, so if he said


    something that offends you, please forgive him… He’s not very careful with his words.”


    Hesper would know how to act even if Roberto didn’t say that. Roberto’s friend would be an older


    person and what she wanted to do wasn’t something that anyone could help with.

    About twenty minutester, they finally got to their destination.


    Hesper thought that a ce so far out of town wouldn’t just be a small house since the man was living


    alone. However, when she saw the vineyard, she went silent.


    “Cough…” Roberto parked the car, got out, and said, “My friend… isfortable.”


    Someone who could live there wouldn’t just be affluent, they were probably a millionaire!


    Hesper walked into the hallway with Roberto. If Roberto weren’t walking very quickly, Hesper would


    think that they had passed the same ce a few minutes ago.


    There were all kinds of nts there, many that weremonly found in Fredonia. Hesper didn’t know


    much about nts but she knew that it would take a lot of effort to grow nts that could survive


    through winter.


    “All of these are taken care of by the gardener. There will always be flowers here, no matter the


    season.”


    The man was rich and had a lot of time on his hands.


    Hesper walked behind Roberto. If she weren’t his protege, none of this would have been possible.


    We’re almost there,” Roberto said. Hesper looked up and realized that they were now in a different


    garden.


    “Stephen?”


    Not far away, a man in white bent over the flowerbed. He looked up when he heard Roberto’s voice.


    When Hesper saw his face, she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but she didn’t know where she had


    seen him before.


    The man named Stephen had a beautiful face that you couldn’t have guessed his. age from. However,


    when Hesper took a closer look, he looked different from anyone she had ever seen.
