Chapter 75
It wasn’t until that night that Hesper learned that even though Ren was a child, he was sensitive, just like Rickard. It was probably
because they were father and son.
“Would you stay here and spend time with me tonight?”
She acted cute and the little man patted her hand like an adult. “Of course. I want to sleep here with you.”
That night, Hesper gave Renfrew a bath and blow dried his hair, then played with him for a while before tucking him in.
Watching him quietly sleeping, her heart melted while at the same time being angry.
It was past midnight yet no one in the Duval household realized that Renfrew wasn’t home. It was enough to prove that they didn’t care about him!
She would never let them off the hook for this reason alone.
The next morning, Wanda’s voice was heard throughout the villa.
“Oh no, young master is missing!”
“What’s this yelling so early in the morning?” Julie had been worried about Sophia recently and didn’t sleep well. Now that she was woken up by Wanda’s scream, she was furious.
Wanda didn’t have time to feel afraid and said, “Ma’am, young master is missing! His room wasn’t used and his bed is cold!”
“What? Have you looked everywhere? Did he go somewhere to play?” Julie started feeling nervous, for he was the heir to the family. If anything happened to him, she would be sad.
“I did, I looked everywhere. He isn’t where he usually is!”
Julie started panicking. She saw Rickard walking out and immediately grabbed him and asked him to call the police. “Dick, Ren is missing and he hasn’t been back since last night! We need to call the police. immediately!”
Rickard knew what happened. He looked toward the room that
Hesper used to sleep in and said in an enigmatic tone. “I think… I know where he is.”
While waiting for the call to connect, Rickard started feeling nervous. He hadn’t called Hesper in such a long time, he even had to get her number from Renee.
The call was not answered.
Rickard was patient and dialed again and again until Hesper lost it.
“Are you crazy? Do you know what time it is?”
“Is Ren with you?”
“Hah.” Hesper scoffed. “Mr. Duval is finally awake and realized that his son is missing?” She mocked him while also answering his
question.
