Chapter 373
The person outside the wall didn’t speak, but Hesper had her answer.
“Aren’t you going to speak, Rickard?”
Rickard wasn’t surprised that Hesper knew it was him, but he still kept quiet and leaned down to light up another one.
It went off outside the wall and Hesper looked up in silence.
“Happy new year, Hepser.”
Hesper didn’t reply but Rickard didn’t speak after a long time because he had left. Only Hesper was there with a floor full of firework debris, evidence of the firework show that was for one
person.
Happy new year.”
Hesper only had a sweater on. The cold wind blew and she looked down while blinking her dry red eyes. “Happy new year.”
There was a rule that fireworks were banned in Genecity.
The new year was always lively, but if fireworks were banned, there was nothing to look forward to. Hesper left the orphanage a long time ago, so all she remembered about the place was that the rich families would donate some to them.
She had only just gone to stay with the Duvals that time and wasn’t used to a lot of things. Since she was staying at someone’s home, she didn’t want to make requests, so she soon became quiet. because she just wanted to silently compromise.
Julian knew that Hesper loved fireworks, so he tried to get a dozen sticks of sparklers. However, he bumped into the officials and they were all confiscated.
“I’m sorry for messing it up.” Julian sat with her on the balcony.
She shook her head. “You’ve done enough, lan. Thank you.”
Right when she said that, fireworks went off near the balcony. They were the most luxurious and beautiful fireworks that Hesper had ever seen. It went on and on and finally stopped after about
ten minutes.
Julian stood up in awe while Hesper still stayed seated. She was looking forward to something.
However, soon after that, more fireworks went off not too far away and Hesper finally got on her feet. She ignored Julian calling out to her and ran downstairs to find out where it was coming from.
Rickard frowned as he lit up the fireworks while someone was calling out to him from not too far away, asking him to freeze. Hesper watched as he lit up the last one and looked straight at her.
