Chapter 236
It was crowded at the amusement park during the weekend. Renfrew pulled Hesper around as Rickard
followed along not too far behind, not seeming to want to get closer to them.
Everything reminded him of the day at the aquarium, but Hesper was different.
He couldn’t pinpoint what was different, but previously, Hesper was fully immersed in the joy of
spending time with Renfrew and forgot about Rickard. This time, she kept thinking about what Rickard
was doing
behind them.
Was giving the agreement to her part of the reparations?
Hesper felt complicated. She finally got to spend time with Renfrew but couldn’t enjoy the time because
of other things. That wasn’t fair to Renfrew.
“Mommy, are you afraid of heights?” Renfrew suddenly turned around with twinkling eyes. “I want to
ride that!”
Hesper looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw the Drop Tower in front of them, the hottest
ride in the park. There was a long queue in front and it looked very popular.
Hesper didn’t know what to say, but she realized that her hands were shaking.
She didn’t used to be afraid of heights, but now, whenever she got to higher grounds, she would start
panicking. It wasn’t the height itself; so many times in her dreams, when she saw Julie and Sophia
throwing the doll, it wasn’t a doll but Renfrew instead.
In the three years being apart from him, she had this nightmare countless times.
“Mommy?” Renfrew didn’t know what happened, so he tried to hold his mother’s hand but realized that
her hands were sweaty.
“You’re afraid of heights!” He suddenly realized that. “Let’s not go on that then. I don’t really want to
anyway. I just saw that a lot of people are queueing up for it.”
Hesper’s reaction looked even more complicated after seeing how well-behaved he was.
Renfrew never asked her for anything, so if she didn’t fully pay attention, he would be very sad when
he got home.
“It’s fine, we can ride on that…” Hesper looked down and was going to accept, but Rickard held her
from
behind.
“There’s no need to force yourself.”
Rickard saw her expression and could guess what was on her mind. If it was just a fear of heights,
trying it at least once would be fine, but for Hesper, it was more psychological.
Hesper took her hand back and glared at him. “I’m not forcing myself.”
Renfrew saw that his parents were going to start arguing and quickly grabbed both of their hands. “I
don’t really want to go on that. Please don’t start arguing.”
Rickard didn’t know what to do seeing how stubborn Hesper was.
“I’ll go with Ren. You wait here.”
“No.” Hesper rejected without thinking, looking very unhappy. “…I’ll go with you.”
Rickard gave up. Renfrew sighed because he felt that his parents were both a hundred times more Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
stubborn than he was!
