Hesper agreed to the request. “Fine by me. Then I’ll come over and pick you up tomorrow.”
“No, I’ll drop him off there,” Rickard opened his mouth and suggested it all of a sudden.
Hesper did not notice anything wrong, so she nodded and left after grabbing her handbag.
Renfrew quickly came to the room where the presents were stored, jumped in, and started searching.
‘Ms. Myriade said that she’d send me a present. I wonder what she’ll give me?’
If he had not been too curious, he would never have left his mommy alone.
“What are you looking for?”
Rickard’s voice came from behind, and Renfrew shook his head immediately. “No, I’m just taking a
look. I’ve received so many presents this year, I wonder if there’s anything that I like.”
“Oh really?” Rickard remained skeptical.
‘Judging from how he’s acting, he’s clearly looking for something.”
But since the little rascal did not want to disclose his reasoning, Rickard did not ask any more
questions, and reminded him, “Go to bed earlier. Don’t forget that you have a date with your mommy
tomorrow.”
The next day, when Rickard appeared by the car fully dressed, Renfrew finally noticed something
unusual. “Daddy, are you… Are you coming with us?”
Rickard replied indifferently, “There are so many people in the aquarium. I could protect both of you if I
tag along.”
Renfrew was speechless. “…Do you really think I’m as gullible as a three-year-old? You want to come
along only because of mommy, don’t you?”
“Aren’t you indeed three years old?” Rickard gave him a condescending look.
Renfrew was so infuriated that he could feel his gum vibrating. However, he was a little depressed and
had no intention of talking back to him at all, as he had searched for a long time last night but did not
find Myriade’s gift.
At this moment, Rickard mentioned out of the blue, “When we see your mommy later, if she won’t let
me tag along, just tell her that this is what you want.”
“…Daddy, you’re so annoying.”
When they got to Hesper’s apartment, as expected, Hesper took Renfrew to her side and was about to
leave as soon as they met.
“Wait, I’m going too.”
“Just what do you think you can do at the aquarium?” The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched.
‘The second I saw what he was wearing today, I already knew that he came prepared.’
Rickard repeated what he had just explained to Renfrew earlier. “There are a lot of people at the
aquarium, so it’s safer If I were to come along.”
“Thank you, but you’re not needed.” Hesper heartlessly rejected him.
Rickard frowned and responded hastily, “But Renfrew is the one who asked me to go with you.”
Renfrew was dumbfounded as he felt an arrow of betrayal pierce through his heart.
‘While other kids sell their father out to save themselves from a beating, how is it the other way around
when it comes to me?’
But as soon as he encountered Hesper’s suspicious gaze, Renfrew could only bite the bullet and nod.
“Yes, Mommy, why don’t you let Daddy come with us? He can help us with the bags.”
Rickard took over the conversation instantly. “Renfrew said that he’s never been to the aquarium with
both his parents, so I deliberately set work and tasks aside to come with him. Can you let go of your
prejudice against me and focus on fulfilling his wish first? Will this work for you?”
Now that he was using Renfrew as the reason why he wanted to tag along, it would be inappropriate
for her to reject him over and over again.
Hesper put on a long face. “Okay, you can come, but you’re to keep a distance of nine feet away from
us. You’re not allowed to get any nearer than nine feet.”
“…Alright.” Rickard had always been an adaptable man; he resolutely agreed to the terms. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
When the three of them arrived at the aquarium, Renfrew was quickly attracted by all the marine life,
and Hesper patiently explained all the creatures to him all the way.
While they were there, Renfrew bought a lot of dolphin and penguin merchandise, all of which were
held by Rickard. The mother and son walked in the front, leading the way, while the father walked
behind them, but their super attractive appearance created an undoubtedly beautiful
scenery.
