Chapter 30

Meanwhile, Rickard did not come home at all in those few days. Hesper had no idea what kept him busy every day, but she could not be bothered to care about it. The day of Mr. Duval Sr.’s return was approaching, so Hesper wanted to get some things for the child so she could perform her motherly role before her ultimate departure. “Dorothy, I’m heading out. Please take the trouble to take care of my child for a while more.” There were other servants in the house, but Hesper did not trust anyone other than Dorothy. Noticing that she was leaving home, Sophia and Juniper exchanged a glance from their hiding spot, coming to realize that it was an absolutely great opportunity. Sophia made a call to an unknown person with a malicious expression. “Hello, do something for me… You’ll be rewarded handsomely when it’s done!” In the shopping mall, Hesper was completely oblivious to the impending danger. She arrived at a mother and baby care store and shopped meticulously for a long time.
