“Isaac, why would you tell that to a kid?” Although Hesper interrupted him, she was still smiling.
“I’m not short of money, Ren. However, I can’t and shouldn’t just say no when the Wights are offering to
pay me money, right?”
Renfrew nodded with just a hazy notion. The only thing that was occupying his mind was what Isaac
did not get to say. Hence, when Hesper went to the study, he took advantage of the situation and
scurried up to Isaac.
“Uncle Isaac, what were you going to say about Mommy before?”
“Huh?” Isaac was stunned, knowing that Hesper did not like him talking about her past too much. He
continued to say unconcernedly, “It’s nothing, young master. Ms. Lane is doing well now, so there’s no
need for you to worry about her.”
“Really?” The little fella misunderstood, thinking that the adults just did not want him to worry. He
clenched his little fair hands and swore deep down.
‘Since Daddy has a lot of money, I’ll take some from him and give it to Mommy! Apart from that, I have
a piggy bank too. It contains all the money that others have given me over the years, all of which can
be given to Mommy!’
Seeing that Renfrew seemed to have made some decisions inwardly, Isaac looked confused.
‘Did I say something wrong? But I couldn’t have, right? When the lady first went to Lanes, no one in the
family trusted her and she was left in a very difficult situation. She also had a very strong self- esteem
and refused to accept Matthew’s help, so it was indeed a very difficult time. Thank God that the young
lady strived for her own sake, and her life gradually improved.’
“Mommy.” The little rascal poked his head out of the door frame of the study.
“What’s the matter?” Hesper smiled. “Come here.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Renfrew felt very distressed.
‘Mommy is so poor, she’s working very hard.’ He could not wait to bring his little piggy bank over.
Pretending as if nothing had happened, he said, “Mammy, didn’t you say that Great-grandpa is back? I
want to go back to see him and come back tomorrow night. Is that okay?”
Hesper gave it a thought.
‘Well, I’ll be attending the Wights’ banquet tomorrow anyway, and Ernest probably misses Renfrew very
much too.’
She nodded. “Okay, I’ll get Isaac to send you there.
“Thank you, Mommy.” The little rascal hugged her, kissed her, and then went back with Isaac.
Soon, Ernest saw his great-grandson whom he had not seen in a long time, and his wrinkled face
immediately lit up.
“Renfrew, come here. Give Great-grandpa a hug. And it seems like you’ve grown a lot taller.”
The tiny fella ran over obediently and blinked his big innocent eyes. “Great-grandpa, did you bring me
any present when you came back?”
Ernest was taken aback.
‘Although I always bring something back every time I come back to visit, Renfrew has always been very
polite and never asked for it. What happened today?”
“Renfrew, what’s the matter with you? Has something happened?”
With that being asked, the innocent kid conjectured about his mommy’s difficult situation and fiddled
with his fingers innocently. “Great-grandpa, want to give Mommy everything that I have in my piggy
bank. Is that okay?”
Looking at the little guy’s cautious expression, Ernest was so distressed that he immediately found
Rickard, kicked him in the butt, and reprimanded him. “Just look at the good deeds you’ve done. You
don’t even know that your wife and child are suffering out there. Get a hold of $3 million and send it all
to Hesper, now!”
Rickard was caught off guard by the request. “Grandpa, what are you talking about?”
Ernest thought he was unwilling to do as he ordered, so he kicked Rickard again. “I told you to pay
Hesper. You heard me, right? She’s so destitute that she needs to live on Renfrew’s money, yet this is
all you do in response?”
