Chapter 216
She spent the entire afternoon with Ernest.
Hesper didn’t bring up the medication and Ernest didn’t talk about the battle between the two
companies. They just chatted like a normal pair of grandpa and granddaughter, and the afternoon
passed.
Before coming over, Hesper had a lot of worries, but now, she was more confident.
“Grandpa, I came here to take Renfrew with me.” But after thinking about it, she lowered her head and
told the truth. “I don’t believe that Julie and Sophia treat Renfrew nice. I can’t leave him, and he can’t
be away from me. Maybe you’ll think that I’m selfish, but I’m his mother, so I think I have the right to
take care of him.” That was something that Hesper spent a lot of time mauling over. If Sophia and Julie
were willing to throw the baby down the stairs, they would do anything to Renfrew now too.
Renfrew was the only family Hesper had, so she didn’t want her child to suffer.
She would give him a hundred fold love to replace the father that he wouldn’t have, but even though
Rickard treated Renfrew well, Hesper really didn’t want Renfrew to be away from her.
She wasn’t willing to leave that to chance.
“I know, I know you love Ren too, but Rickard’s still young and could have a new family and more
children. But I… I can’t. He can…”
She was messing up her sentences, but before Ernest could speak, the door behind them opened. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Hesper.” It was Rickard’s voice. Ernest didn’t speak but Hesper lowered her head and didn’t turn
around when she heard him. Her eyes were warm.
Rickard was there to see Ernest but unexpectedly heard what she said.
Did she bring Ren back the other day just so she could focus on tearing him down, then bring him to
court. to fight for custody?
That was her plan all along?
“Hesper, I won’t remarry or have more. children. Renfrew will be my only child.” Rickard kneeled on the
floor and turned Hesper’s face toward him, forcing her to look into his eyes. “I will not let you take him
away.”
“Dick…” Ernest wanted to cut Rickard off, but Hesper scoffed.
“You’re finally done pretending, Rickard?” Hesper’s eyes were icy cold. “I thought you would keep the
regretful and loving facade. You’re finally done with it?”
“Hesper, don’t force my hand.”
Hesper smirked, then looked at Rickard with sad eyes “How am I forcing you? Did I keep bugging you
and forcing you to treat me right? Or did I cry in front of you and ask for you to make amends?”
Ernest looked at the two people who wouldn’t back down and sighed.
“Enough, just talk things out. Do you have to force each other into a corner?”
