Ernest was waiting for Hesper in the pavilion located in the middle of the garden. His eyes lit up when
he saw the three of them.
“Grandpa…” Hesper suddenly felt a little nervous and timid as she approached Ernest…
‘I left without even leaving a message behind back then, and I haven’t contacted him throughout all
these years. Although the rest of the Duvals had done me wrong in the first place, Grandpa has always
treated me with absolute kindness.”
Ernest seemed to have seen through Hesper’s worries and waved his hand. “It’s okay, I’ve found out
about everything that happened three years ago. I wouldn’t blame you even if you didn’t come back to
see me. What happened back then is all their fault, along with this grandson of mine, who was blind.
The Duvals are the ones who have done you wrong.”
Hesper shook her head, while Rickard listened quietly, and Renfrew rubbed his eyes in his daddy’s
arms while watching his mother and great-grandpa chatting in a daze. The little rascal looked
unbelievably obedient.
Ernest did not bring up anything that happened in the past. He and Hesper only talked about the things
that happened in the past three years.
It was not easy for Hesper to get to where she was now in just three years. And because she did not
have anyone to talk to all this while, she slowly talked about some things that she had gone through
those years under Ernest’s earnest guidance.
“Nice, girl, you’ve truly grown a lot in these three years!” Ernest stretched out his hand and stroked
Hesper’s hair. “I originally thought you would be under the Duvals’ protection until the day I die of old
age. I never expected you to find your family and also have your own career and business someday in
the future.”
“Great, that’s great too.”
Hesper had always felt that she had never been a particularly lucky person, but meeting Ernest and
Matthew was the greatest fortune she had ever encountered in her life. Both of them had lent her their
helping hands while she was going through the gloomlest times, which prevented her from sinking into
an abyss for the rest of her life.
The two talked about many things in life. Wendy brought Renfrew, who could no longer stay still and
quiet, away from the pavilion. Rickard sat by them and listened to the conversation between the two
while handling work.
“About what happened back then…” Ernest mentioned out of the blue, and Hesper did not know what
to say for a while.
She would never forgive Julie and Sophia, even if it was for Ernest’s sake, so she worried most about
putting Ernest in a difficult position.
“I’ll apologize on their behalf. And I, Ernest Duval, will never come up with excuses to cover for them,”
Ernest said.
Hesper’s eyes could not help but widen when he continued. “As long as you don’t go too overboard, I
won’t interfere with your plans of taking revenge on them. All I want to tell you is that you should never
let your
hatred for them cloud your judgment. You’re still young, and there are so many things in life that you Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
have yet to see and experience. Those vast possibilities in life are far more important than hatred.”
Hesper’s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
There are actually more people who have my back in this world…”
Emest smiled and pinched her cheek. “Don’t forget that I’m also your family. So, if you’re bullied by
others in the future, you could always come back to me. I’ll speak up for you.”
Rickard’s gaze was fixed on the two of them. Ernest had long realized that his grandson was unable to
focus on his work; he could not help but feel exasperated.
‘Back when Hesper was willing to do anything to just stay by his side, this bastard didn’t cherish her.
Now he dares to give off such a look? What a useless piece of trash!’
