Chapter 401
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
“Alright.”
They were both quiet throughout the rest of the journey. Hesper didn’t turn around to see who 013 was because she had a feeling that it wasn’t the right time to know yet.
“I hope you have a good life in Fredonia. I’ll be seeing you around.”
Hesper went through nerve-wracking ten-plus hours before the plan finally landed.
Roberto was waiting at the airport. Hesper walked over with her luggage. It took about half an hour from deplaning to leaving the airport.
Fredonia was a romantic country, and every Fredonian was born romantic.
Winter in Fredonia was warmer than in Genecity. Hesper was ready for the weather and was dressed appropriately. Roberto saw her from afar and waved at her.
“Mr. Sanchez.” Hesper walked over with her luggage.
Roberto said, “Welcome to Fredonia, the place where your dreams begin.”
“Thank you.” Hesper nodded. “Is my hostel far from here? You came to pick me up so late. Your schedule must have been affected.”
Roberto waved his hand and smiled. “No, even though it’s nothing compared to the young people, I do stay up late to design sometimes. Inspiration doesn’t wait.”
Even though what he said was true, Hesper still felt guilty.
Since she brought some daily necessities, she had two large bags. She insisted on carrying them. by herself, but when it started taking a toll on her, she finally let Roberto help.
“…I guess I need to start working out.”
Having been on the losing end due to her lack of physical strength, Hesper realized that she should start learning self-defense.
She had left the Lane family. Even though Matthew said that she didn’t have to worry about expenses and that he could afford it, Hesper still preferred not to have to use their money.
She had some savings from the few years of staying with them; it was enough for her to live in Fredonia for a few years. She hadn’t had to worry about money before, but things were different
now.
“The apartment is near the city center. Fredonia University is tolerant and values its students.”
Roberto led her to the car. She got in and looked out the window before switching on her phone.
