Matthew didn’t seem surprised. Hestia preferred getting straight to the point, so she immediately replied. “Are you in Genecity? I think we should meet and talk about this.”
“You’re right.” From her calm tone, Matthew could tell that this sudden revelation was just another problem she had to solve and nothing important to her.
After confirming the time and place, Matthew hung up and sighed.
He didn’t expect the Hesper who grew up happy to be be so difficult.
When Hestia arrived on time, she saw that Matthew was already there.
“You’re very early.” Hestia raised her brows and sat down. She looked at her favorite coffee in front of her and could tell that they had a good relationship. However, ‘Hesper Rivera’ was too mysterious, so Hestia couldn’t figure everything out.
“You might be curious about your past, but all I can tell you is about your family.” Matthew smiled sadly and continued. “Half a year ago, when the incident happened, I didn’t get to tell you about your real identity. I thought I lost the chance forever, but now you’re here, sitting in front of me. This is a blessing to me.”
Hestia frowned. “My parents said they found me by the lake. I had varying degrees of burn wounds. My mom was sick, so she hadn’t left home in a long time. That was their rare trip in autumn. If they didn’t bring me back, I would have been dead.”
