Chapter 447
Hesper cleared her throat as it seemed a little hard to resist Aelinor’s enthusiasm.
‘It’s not difficult to see that she’s an arrogant princess that’s been doted on and spoiled all her life.
She’s different from Dianthe; although Dianthe is rather arrogant too, at least it’s easier for someone to
reason with her when compared to Aelinor. After all, Aelinor may still be a little too young. Every single
emotion that she feels could be seen through her expression.
So…
With the sudden change in Aelinor’s attitude towards me, Pennleigh’s mother should also be able
to sense it.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Hesper could not help but feel slightly stressed. “You can add me as a friend on social media when you
get back. I’ll give you a list through the platform, but it’s better for us to keep our distance now.
Otherwise, Aunt Isobella will notice.”
Hearing this, Aelinor nodded and looked a little confused. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten so close to
you. I promise I’ll continue to tease you like I did just now… Oh, but that doesn’t seem right either.”
Hesper remained silent for a moment, remembering that Isobella mentioned that Aelinor was studying
at Genecity University. She could not help but wonder if the university had once again bowed to
capitalism.
Seeing that Aelinor came back with Hesper, Pennleigh already guessed that Aelinor had gone over to
show her affection, so he could not help but lift his hand, rub his temples, look at Hesper, and see the
helplessness in her gaze.
It was really difficult for them to worry about being exposed.
Isobella was praising Hesper’s dessert-making skills in front of everyone, while Hesper walked to
Pennleigh’s side and asked in a low voice, “Why did you tell Aelinor about our fake relationship? I don’t
think she’s very good at keeping secrets.”
Hearing this, Pennleigh looked a little aggrieved. “Isn’t it because of you?”
“Because of me?”
Hesper never expected that. Pennleigh crossed his arms. “What you and Rickard did in the garden just
now… Aelinor saw everything. If I didn’t tell her the real relationship between the two of us, I’m afraid
that we’d become the center of attention by now.”
Hesper was at a loss for words.
‘I didn’t expect that I’d be the one who’d ruined everything tonight. To be precise, it’s Rickard’s fault.
Who knows why he lost his mind all of a sudden?!’
Speaking of Rickard, Hesper realized something instantly. “Has Rickard returned? Why didn’t I see
him?”
“You seem to care a lot about him…” Pennleigh lowered his head while covering his chest. He sighed
and shook his head. “I’ll be very sad if this is the case. After all, I’m still your boyfriend in
Ch
name.
Rickard happened to witness this scene when he came downstairs; he stopped halfway on the
staircase.
‘How much more unlucky can I get? I’m going back up and then coming down again.”
Dinner was a lot simpler than lunch. Hesper had eaten a lot at noon, so she seemed a lot less
interested in the dishes that got served. However, the almond dessert that she made received a lot of
compliments.
“I didn’t expect you to be so good at cooking. I couldn’t believe it when I went into the kitchen with you.”
Isobella patted Hesper’s hand and looked at Rickard, who had not eaten anything all this time. She
thought that it was not to his liking.
“Mr. Duval, do you not eat almonds?”
Rickard came back to his senses and shook his head. “My wife used to be the best at baking almond
cakes, and I haven’t tasted this flavor in a long time.”
Hearing this, Hesper’s hand stiffened for a split second, but Isobella did not notice and continued
saying, “Oh, you’re already married. Then why didn’t you bring your wife along this time around? Does
she not like to travel with you?”
Petruchio only vaguely remembered that Rickard had a son, but he had never heard much of his wife,
and he only knew that he had one romantic relationship throughout his whole life, so he looked over
curiously.
Hesper lowered her head and heard Rickard chuckle.
“She’s also in Fredonia now.”
