Chapter 193
“No way, your dark circles are terrible.” Jessie was shocked at how tired Hesper looked. “Did my dad give too many assignments? Is this school violent?”
Hesper didn’t know what to say.
Jessie quickly skipped to the next topic. Hesper realized that if she didn’t pay absolute attention, she wouldn’t be able to keep up with her. She didn’t know how to feel about that.
She wondered why Jessie’s weird ideas didn’t end up on the design board. If they did, Professor Jenkins. wouldn’t be so troubled.
At the university, Hesper felt more relaxed. She attended classes during the daytime and worked during the night. She would bring Renfrew around for all kinds of delicious food, so life was quite comfortable.
Lane Holdings’ growth was better than expected. Rickard would sometimes visit Renfrew, but he didn’t stay long. He would bring some of Renfrew’s belongings over and never mentioned that he wanted to bring him home.
That was great because Hesper didn’t want Renfrew out of her sight, not even for a day.
Jessie wasn’t shy around Hesper. Ever since Hesper gave her her address, she visited very frequently.
Hesper remembered the first time Jessie saw Renfrew. Her chin almost hit the floor, as if she saw a
monster instead of a child.
“You’re kid is that big now? I thought…”
Jessie swallowed the rest of her words, but Hesper could guess what she was going to say. She had thought that Hesper aborted it instead of getting married.
“Hello, are you Mommy’s friend?”
Renfrew had always been friendly and adorable. He immediately stole Jessie’s heart.
“Yes, I’m Jessie, you can call me Aunt Jess. You’re so adorable!”
“…” Hesper felt helpless as she looked at Renfrew, who immediately warmed up to Jessie. She thought the reason she couldn’t catch up with Jessie was that she didn’t speak enough.
However, after Jessie left, Renfrew held onto Hesper and complained. “Aunt Jess talks so much.”
Hesper stifled a laugh. She felt sorry for Jessie, who was wrapped around Renfrew’s finger.
