Chapter 138
After getting out of the hotel, Rickard stopped in his tracks.
Benji, who was behind him, followed his line of sight and saw that not too far away, the frat boy was holding Hesper’s hand and flirting with her. Hesper not only didn’t reject him but gently tapped his shoulder.
“Let’s get out of here!” Rickard didn’t take another look.
Noticing him, Hesper helplessly said, “Sean, they’ve left. Do you still want to flirt? If Isaac starts hitting you, I won’t be able to stop him.”
“I don’t.” The man immediately let go and smiled. But Hesper, Rickard is such a nuissance. He’s got nothing on me. Why don’t you think about going out with me? I’ll make you happy.”
“…No thank you.” Starting to get goosebumps, she retreated into the car.
The frat boy was going to say more but was warned off by Isaac’s glare. “If you don’t leave, I’m going to stab you with a fork!”
After sending Sean away, Isaac said unhappily, “Malam, please don’t listen to him. There’s nothing great with that young boy. He isn’t for you.”
Hesper’s interest was piqued at the usually serious Isaac’s statement. “Oh? Then who would you say is for me?”
“Mr. Tucker, of course!”
Nate? He really was a good man, but more importantly, when Rachael was a child, the Lanes had arranged for her to marry Nate. Now that Hesper was Ms. Lane, she would be the one getting married.
Her head started hurting when recalling the marriage arrangement. It was lucky that Nathaniel never brought it up and the pair had a good relationship.
Seeing that her expression was odd, Isaac shuddered. “Ma’am, I hope you’re not really interested in that kid.”
“What? Do I look such a person?” Hesper looked back and asked him to drive.
On the way back, the scenery outside flew past as her thoughts were let loose.
She never thought about remarrying one day or imagined what it would be like if she did.
Marriage seemed to be something distant; all she wanted was to take good care of the people she loved for the rest of her life.
Meanwhile, Rickard was getting angrier the more he thought about it.
Sophia, who sat in the same car, could feel how dense the air was. She made herself smaller.
Rickard suddenly blurted out, “Is that the kind of man that women want?”
“I really didn’t do anything with him, Rickard. We just had too much to drink and he brought me to the room to rest.”
