Chapter 268
Before the two of them had the time to finish their conversation, Renfrew and his classmates had been
disbanded by Ms. Zeelen. All of them went back to their respective parents and went home.
Under the vast sunset, three extended shadows overlapped with the shadows of the camphor trees on
both sides of the street.
Hesper raised her head thoughtfully. Renfrew walked next to her, talking to Rickard about his life at the
kindergarten. The warm sunlight shined on her face, and it looked as if it was coated with a layer of
gold paint.
It felt like everything that happened back then had been completely erased by time.
When Hesper got home, Matthew was sitting in the living room. When he saw Hesper arriving, he
cleared his throat twice lightly.
“Matt?” Hesper was surprised and took a glance at the time.
‘At this time, Matt would usually either be in the study or at the company. Why has he gone out of
character and sat here waiting for me today…? Please don’t tell me that he’s here because of Rickard
again.”
Sure enough, Matthew lifted his gaze.
“Did you go out with Rickard again today?” His tone sounded like he knew about the fact that she had
gone to the kindergarten with Rickard and Renfrew to take part in the sports day.
It also felt like he was waiting for this time to come to question her, and she was stuck in a position
where confession would not get her any leniency and resistance would surely get her stricture, so she
could only nod helplessly.
“Renfrew has learned to be a little more gregarious in kindergarten. I’m his mother, so I think I should at
least attend some of the kindergarten’s events when I have the time.”
“Is it really for Renfrew’s growth?”
Hesper nodded without hesitation. Matthew stood up and walked over with a different expression than
usual, looking a little more solemn. “Hesper, don’t let revenge blind you and cause you to lose your
judgment. Your feelings and emotions aren’t something that can be measured. You should understand
this best, shouldn’t you?”
Hesper was taken aback. “How do you know…” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Remembering the phone call that she had with Matthew when she was drunk and the reason why
Matthew insisted on staying there, Hesper froze for an instant then gave off a wry smile. “So, you
already know about it.”
“Yes, I know the ins and outs of it.” Matthew frowned.
Hesper remained silent for a while then leaned against the wall and sighed.
“This revenge plan of mine might sound ridiculous to you, but I only want to ruin him through this
means.” Recalling Rickard’s rather bashful and cautious expression when he handed her the cake, the
only emotion that she felt deep down was a scorching heartache.
Matthew shook his head. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your plan, but while you’re setting
him up to make him fall in love with you, can you really control your own emotions?”
The night breeze was chilly, and Hesper lowered her gaze. “Yes.”
Matthew looked at Hesper’s reluctance to listen to what he had to say and was a little anxious. Then
what about Renfrew? I think he still values the relationship between you and his father very highly. So
when you were out there carrying out your plan without care, did you think about your sont
Hesper did not answer any more of Matthew’s questions and changed the subject immediately “There
are two more days before I have to go back to the competition venue. I’m a little tired, and I still have
10 go back and go through my drafts.”
“Hesper…” Before Matthew could say anything, Hesper had already gone back to her room and shut
the
door.
Two days later, the tournament continued.
This time around, no transportation was arranged for the contestants, so Hesper had to travel to the
hotel with her luggage for the competition. She checked herself in and waited for Celine to arrive
Because Hesper arrived early, only a few cameras were operating at that time. The viewers who
followed the live broadcast had already skipped over several scenes out of boredom. Hence, when
someone finally appeared in front of the camera, the comment section reignited and became much
more boisterous again.
“Hesper is the first to arrive again. I’ve come to realize that she really loves to arrive early to prep

than I did
