Chapter 141
“But…”
Hesper really did not want to step into the Duvals residence again, because there were too many bad memories that she could not get off her mind
Just being too close to it would put her in a bad mood.
But Renfrew was looking forward to it so much that a sense of longing was overflowing out of his eyes, so all the thoughts of rejecting him turned into Hesper’s maternal love for her son in the end.
“Okay, let’s go together. I’ll then take you to the aquarium after the banquet.”
“Yes, perfect!”
The little boy turned around happily and secretly informed Rickard of the good news.
Before going to bed that night, Hesper said, “Ren, do you have any friends that you want to invite to your party? You can invite them over too; the more the merrier.”
“Friends…?” Renfrew immediately thought of Myriade. “There’s one, but I’m not sure if it’d be convenient for her to come.”
“Huh?” Hesper felt a little strange but did not think too much about it. She then smiled and said, ” Then you should ask her to come.”
“Okay.” The little kid responded.
He then returned to his room and immediately contacted Myriade with his watch.
The call rang for a long time but no one answered. Renfrew could not help but feel a little anxious. “Please answer the call…”
Just when he was about to give up, the call finally went through.
“What’s with the non-stop calls? Are you dying already?”
Hearing her voice, Renfrew instantly realized that something was wrong. “Ms. Myriade, did something happen to you? Why does your voice sound so weak?”
Myriade’s expression stiffened.
‘I didn’t expect this kid to be this sharp. I tried my best to conceal it, but he still heard it.’
“I’m fine, it’s just a little cold.”
Renfrew frowned.
‘I’ve had first-hand experiences on just how strong Ms. Myriade has been all this while. So how could a little cold make her sound so under the weather?’
Myriade could not disclose more, so she changed the subject immediately. “You’re anxiously looking for me out of the blue. What’s the matter?”
“Oh yeah. My birthday is only a few days away and I want to invite you to the party. But you…”
I see, but I may not be able to make it there. I’ll send you a gift though.”
Knowing that she was not feeling well, Renfrew did not force the issue. “Then you should grab more rest, Ms. Myriade, so that you can come over and play during my next birthday.”
After hanging up the phone, Myriade stared into the darkness above her bed in a daze.
‘He’s going to get a birthday celebration. How great does that sound? I’ve survived through so many years now and I haven’t even celebrated my birthday before this, not even one.
‘And perhaps I’ll have perished by his next birthday. But what does that matter? No one cares anyway.’
Soon, Renfrew’s birthday party arrived.
Early in the morning, Hesper dressed him up in a miniature tuxedo with a bow, making him look like a prince.
