Chapter 254
“Matt?”
Hesper, not having expected him to show up, tugged at her sleeve that she rolled up before.
“Why are you waiting here? I’m not a child anymore. I can find my way home.”
Matthew shook his head. “It’s too late. As a woman, it’s unsafe for you to be alone.”
“Oh…” Hesper walked over to walk next to him.
Hesper felt down-to-earth as she walked next to him because there was a sense of familial love that she never felt before this.
The feeling Matthew gave was different from what she got from Grandpa Ernest. Maybe because Hesper used to be more egoistic and sensitive, but she was thankful and respected the man who pulled her out of the orphanage.
However, Matthew was different. Hesper thought that she was meant to be his sister after meeting him.
When they got home, Hesper suddenly remembered that Matthew couldn’t cook, so she was curious if he had eaten.
“What did you have for dinner?”
Matthew was silent for a few minutes. “I didn’t.”
As Hesper expected. She nodded. “I’ll see what I have at home. There are eggs and a slab of beef. I think there is some spaghetti too. I can cook that for you.”
“It’s fine…” Matthew was going to reject her, but Hesper already put her apron on. When she heard what Matthew said, she turned around. “Just sit down and wait for the food. Why? Don’t you trust my cooking skills?”
Matthew shook his head, but Hesper had already turned around and didn’t see that.
“I just think that… you might be too tired.”
The next day, Hesper hopped onto the bus that was for the competition with her luggage.
The competition was going to be grander than the Duvals’. If the competition held by Lane Holdings and Genecity University was known even in the few cities around them, then Roberto’s name was the best marketing tool. A lot of designers from other countries came over to take part.
The time between preliminaries and the closing of registration was very short, but after Hesper got on the bus and saw the contestants, she was still surprised.
