“Rumors had it that Hesper quit school to have a baby, right? So what’s up with the fiancé?”
Lucy did not listen to what Michelle said and was still thinking about where she had seen Nathaniel.
That man gave her a very strange feeling. She thought about all the young masters of the local big
families, but she still could not figure out Nathaniel’s identity.
“Lulu, Lulu?” Michelle called Lucy several times in a row after seeing that she was in a daze.
Lucy came back to her senses and gave off a rather embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry, but there’s
something that I have to look into. I’ll get off here now.”
Before Michelle could say anything, Lucy asked the driver to stop, and then got out of the car by
herself.
Seeing Lucy leave, Michelle rolled her eyes.
‘If it wasn’t for her rich family, I wouldn’t even bother to be around her. Every time she sees me, she just
has to persuade me into doing this and not doing that. She really regards herself as someone of great
significance!’
Her phone rang at that moment. Michelle took a few deep breaths, took her phone out, and saw that it
was Juniper who took the initiative to send her a message. She was saying that she had discovered a
bottle of wine tonight and thought it suited ladies very much, so she wanted to share it with her.
Michelle did not understand a thing about wine at all, but she could tell by looking at the packaging that
the bottle of wine was definitely not cheap.
Michelle: Thank you very much, Juni!
Juniper instantly replied to Michelle’s appreciation with a cute emoji almost, and Michelle’s expression
brightened slightly.
‘This woman looks a lot richer than Lucy, and she knows that she should get along with me. Not to
mention that she’s much more mature too!”
Putting her grudge against Hesper aside, Michelle decided to get along with Juniper first.
‘She’ll definitely bring me a lot of benefits in the future!
After sending Jessie home, Hesper sat in the rear seat of the car and curled her body up in fatigue.
‘Although the fish is delicious, such unnecessary social events are simply a huge waste of energy.
Speaking of which, I don’t have that much time to waste on those adults who are still mentally
immature. It seems that it’d be better for me to keep a low profile in the future.”
Thinking of this, Hesper gradually closed her eyes under the streetlights that were passing by the car
window.
“…Mr. Duval seems to have his eye fixed on a piece of land recently, and the details of the piece of
land haven’t been found out yet.”
Renee’s voice woke Hesper up. She straightened her posture, only to realize that they were about to
get home.
“Ms. Lane?”
Hesper rubbed her temples, and when Renee called her name, she looked at her subconsciously, but it
felt like her cheeks were on fire.
Renee turned around from the front passenger seat and was shocked when she saw Hesper’s
appearance. “Ms. Lane, are you okay? Why are your cheeks so flushed?”
“I don’t know…” Hesper raised her hand, touched her forehead, and felt a little warm. “I might be
having a fever. It’ll be fine as soon as I take some medicine after going home.”
Looking at Hesper’s flushed cheeks, Renee stretched out her hand directly. The moment she touched
Hesper’s forehead, she frowned. “You’re having a fever. This is way too warm. Let’s go to the hospital!”
Isaac heard that and was about to turn the car around and drive to the hospital, but Hesper grabbed his
shoulders in the next second.
“There’s no need for that. Just bring me home.”
Hesper gradually became sober and could feel that she had a high fever.
‘I literally just told Nathaniel that I’d never fall sick, and here I am, falling ill straight after bragging about
my health.’
The weather was indeed very cold at this time, but she could not wear so many layers of clothes when
she came out to socialize. Hence, it was not surprising that she would get sick every now and then.
