Chapter 170
Before Zikmund came to the hospital with the documents that Rickard wanted, he still could not help
but laugh at Rickard on the phone.
“Bro, when was the last time you put yourself in such a messy situation?”
Zikmund only dared to do so because of Rickard’s physical condition and the fact that they were only
talking to each other over the phone; there was no way that he could do anything to him. That was why
he was leaning against the couch and laughing his heart out at this very moment.
“Bro, look at you. When Hesper was your wife, all you did was ignore her. Now that she no longer
wants anything to do with you, you in turn want to court her instead. Or should I say that you’re a true
man? You only want a woman who doesn’t want to be with you.”
Rickard listened to Zikmund’s ridicule with an expressionless face and then replied indifferently, “I
wonder if he’s dismissed the idea.”
“Rickard Duval! You can’t even take mockery heads on now, can you?”
Rickard turned over a page and stated, “If you don’t mind it, I can help you persuade your grandfather
into sending you to an army base to earn some life experience right now.”
Since he was a young boy, Rickard had always been the child that all parents wished their own children
could be. Many childhood friends of his were rebuked very often when they were kids because of
Rickard’s existence, and Zikmund was no exception.
Zikmund’s grandfather liked Rickard very much too. But little did he know that Rickard was actually a
very ruthless and evil-minded boy.
“I lose, and you win, you bastard.” Zikmund chuckled. “So what’s the situation now? Has Ms. Rivera
really rejected you?”
Speaking of Hesper, Rickard stopped working for a while before continuing. “I’m not courting her.”
“What? Why would you delay it for so long?”
Rickard was speechless for a split second. “Zikmund, as for your grandfa…”
“Okay, my bad, my bad, it’s my fault.”
Zikmund originally thought it was fun to watch Rickard struggle a little in his private life, but at the end
of the day, they were still very close friends, so making fun of him was one thing, but helping him
secure his ex-wife was another thing; it was not something that he would joke about.
“Alright, I’ll go visit you later, so you can tell me more about you two, and I’ll help you come up with
ways to court her.”
“I might not excel in any other abilities when compared to you, but I’m relatively confident in my
courtship skills.”
Hearing this, Rickard picked up the handset and asked, ‘When will you arrive?”
“Huh?” Zikmund was caught off guard for a second. “Firstly, you need to spend more time with her.
Although you two have been couples for ages, you only upheld a basic marriage relationship back
then. You never got along normally, did you?””
Zikmund smacked the desk. “You have to find a way to get Hesper to spend more time with you. Why
don’t you take full advantage of your son? He’s a total head start that nature has provided you with.”
Hesper took a closer look at the neatly dressed boy in front of her, then saw Rickard, who was standing
behind the little rascal with an inexplicably awkward expression, and could not help but frown.
“Didn’t I tell you that Renfrew is still young? His body immunity system is still not fully developed, so he
can’t come to the hospital all the time. So can you tell me why you keep bringing him here?”
Before Rickard could speak, Renfrew had already stepped forward and held Hesper’s hand.
“Mommy, don’t scold Daddy. I’m the one who wanted to see you.” Renfrew patted the muscles on his
arm that were non-existent. “I’m very healthy, so I won’t fall sick!”
Rickard played along with Renfrew’s excuse. “Renfrew insisted on coming. I couldn’t stop him.”
Renfrew heard his daddy’s betrayal once again, and while Hesper was not looking, he cast a
contemptuous gaze at his own daddy.
‘You’re the one who obviously wanted to see Mommy, so why would you put the blame on me?!’ This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
