Chapter 419
It was true that Hesper did not possess any evidence, but she was already sure it was Evon, and she believed that he would eventually show his cloven hoof sooner or later.
There’s no such thing as a perfect crime in this world, not to mention that it was just out of pure rage.’
The next day, Hesper went to Stephen’s with Roberto first thing in the morning.
Although it was not her first time there, Hesper realized that she still couldn’t remember the way to the place.
Roberto took her to the courtyard where she first saw Stephen. Hesper was still a little surprised by the sight.
“When I first used to come here, I would always lose my way and ruin some of his flowers.”
Roberto smiled awkwardly. “Since then, he drew a map and forced me to memorize it. Otherwise, I won’t be allowed to come again in the future.”
With how much Stephen seemed to care about those flowers, Hesper could already imagine that if someone were to ruin them, they might be slaughtered and turned into fertilizer.
‘It seems that the relationship between Stephen and Roberto is actually very good.”
This time, Stephen came out of the corridor, and he could not help but nod after seeing Hesper. Just how beautiful do you look now?! Pfft, those who own it will always squander it… What a waste.”
Hesper looked at Stephen.
‘He’s changed his look again. He looks different from last time, more delicate and beautiful now.”
Judging from Roberto’s reaction, Hesper instantly knew that it was not Stephen’s original
appearance.
Thinking of how Stephen would react every time he saw her face, Hesper frowned and thought. about it for a bit.
‘So, it could be that Stephen is not very good-looking himself, and he must’ve gone through a lot in order to learn this method of disguise. That must be why he became so enraged when he learned that I wished to disguise myself as someone who looks more ordinary.’
Thinking about it, although Hesper could not fully understand, it could be regarded as Stephen’s sore spot, so she nodded secretly and inwardly.
‘I mustn’t poke Stephen’s sore spot ever again in the future.”
Stephen did not know what Hesper was thinking about, but judging from her expression, his intuition told him that she must be thinking something pointless. He frowned slightly. “Hurry up. What are you thinking about?”
Hesper cleared her throat and followed Stephen into the building. It was only natural that she did
not utter the “truth” that she might have guessed.
The procedure went faster than the last time. Although Hesper was a little curious about how Stephen did it, she kept her eyes tightly closed the whole time.
Stephen suddenly opened his mouth. “Are you curious?”
Hesper hummed.
Before it was finished, Stephen did not say anything, and Hesper did not dare to speak.
Suddenly, her forehead was tapped, and Stephen smiled from above Hesper’s head. “Keep dreaming. I’ll bring this skill with me to my grave. I’ll never teach it to another person again.”
