Chapter 398
With Xavier and Roberto’s help, Hesper finished her exchange student procedure very quickly.
The weather in Genecity had gotten a lot colder on the day Hesper left the country. Matthew purposely came to see her off at the airport. After all, they might not be able to see each other for a long time.
“Make sure you take care of yourself over there. I’ll come see you at Fredonia when I’m free. Focus on your studies and your work.” Matthew had been reminding her, and Hesper shook her head helplessly.
“You look like a father who is reluctant to let his daughter get married, you know? I’m just going to study abroad, not disappearing forever,” Hesper said with a sigh.
“Well…” Matthew paused for a second before continuing. “I haven’t fully accepted the fact that you’re leaving. What about Rickard and Renfrew? Are you giving them up?”
“Hmm… Renfrew is the only heir that the Duvals have, so nothing will happen to him. Besides, I’m sure you know best what Renfrew is capable of. If someone bullies him, he’ll definitely tell me. As for Rickard…” Hesper fell into a pensive silence for a moment. Then, she said, “I’m confident that it’s not difficult to keep him in check right now. After all, everything has been going according to my plan, hasn’t it? As long as I stay clear-headed… Nothing will go wrong.”
“You’re still as stubborn as always.” Matthew sighed, shaking his head. He took a deep breath and said, “Alright. Let’s not dwell on it.”
Hesper’s plane arrived on time. She was not attached to Genecity. Looking back at the familiar airport, she had a feeling that she would not come back there for several years to come.
“Goodbye, Renfrew.
“Goodbye, Rickard.”
Rickard stood outside the airport, watching as Matthew and Hesper walked into the terminal. Benji stood behind him in silence, observing his surroundings calmly.
Rickard became even more quiet after knowing that Hesper was leaving.
