Chapter 51
Matthew’s eyes were dark. Even though her words were harsh, his chest felt warm when she leaned
into his chest. He felt her tears.
“I’m not crying, I’m just happy.”
Hesper sniffled and tried to force a smile, then got out of his embrace.
Matthew didn’t call her out but instead calmly said, “My plane will be flying out today, so this is all I can
do to help. What do you plan to do after this?”
“It’s alright. You’ve already helped me a lot.” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Hesper sincerely thanked him. If it weren’t for him, Rickard wouldn’t have let her walk away so easily.
So even thought she didn’t have a plan, she wouldn’t want to trouble him any longer.
“I’ll spend some time at my friend’s place and find a stable job.”
“That’s a good plan.” Matthew nodded and glanced at his watch.
His plane would be taking off soon.
“Goodbye.” He turned around and got into the car. Hesper was still smiling and waving goodbye when
the door closed.
Matthew didn’t say anything. He could tell that Hesper was just pretending to be strong, but since they
didn’t know each other, he had already gone above and beyond just by helping her.
However, as he saw her getting smaller due to the distance, his heart sank.
“Stop the car,” he finally said to the driver with a sigh. “Turn around.”
“Sir?” The driver didn’t understand, but Matthew didn’t explain.
Hesper was just leaving when she saw the Rolls Royce driving back.

Hesper was just leaving when she saw the Rolls Royce driving back.
“Mr. Lane?” The window rolled down halfway and showed Matthew’s cold but regal profile.
“I need your help with something.”
Hesper was surprised.
After a few seconds, when she found out what his request was, she frowned.
“Mr. Lane, you’re saying that you want me to pretend to be your missing sister and go visit your
grandpa?”
“Yes.”
The old man was very sick but was very regretful about the disappearance of Matthew’s sister. His
biggest wish before passing was to see her one last time. However, based on the information Matthew
received, he was not at all close to finding her.
If he went back without his sister, the old man would be very disappointed and might die from grief.
That was why Matthew tabled the proposal.
“Don’t worry, you just have to spend a little time with him. If my guess is right, you have nowhere to go.
Your ex-husband might not just let you get away so easily. You should think about whether you want to
leave with me or not.”
Hesper had an internal struggle. Putting aside the fact that she had somewhere to go, Matthew did help
her a lot, so when he asked for her help, she couldn’t reject him.
“Alright, I’ll accept that, but I have a request.”
Matthew raised his brows after hearing what she had to say.
