Chapter 25
Hesper returned to the Duvals‘ villa.
Sophia and Madam Duval did not show themselves recently. She had no idea if these two people would continue to be cruel to her, so she was especially cautious.
When she arrived at the door, she heard faint voices talking and laughing in the house.
Madam Duval, Sophia, Rickard, and Juniper were all playing with her baby joyously in the living room. Juniper held the child and even the usually cold Rickard had a faint smile on his face.
It was a joyful, happy scene that made them look like they were a complete family!
“Who gave you permission to hold my child!”
Hesper could not hold back anymore and ran into the house. In view of how cruel Juniper was, Hesper would never believe that she would treat the baby kindly.
Juniper hid herself behind Rickard with a fearful expression before Hesper’s hand could touch the hem of the baby’s outfit. “Rickard…”

“Why are you acting like a madwoman, Hesper?” Rickard stepped forward to scold her, his eyebrows furrowed tightly. “Aren’t you seriously injured? Who signed off your discharge?”
Hesper was under the assumption that he found her presence troubling them. She bit her lower lip tightly and said, “I make decisions for myself. Could it be that your permission is needed for my discharge? Give me back my child!”
“Hesper!” Rickard called out in a solemn tone. “The child is just fine with us. Don’t come looking for trouble as soon as you come home.”
Sophia made sarcastic remarks from the side. “He’s right. Juni is having a great time playing with the baby, and the baby enjoys playing with her too. What the heck are you doing?”
Hesper glared at her coldly; she refused to believe that Sophia was telling the truth. “I’ll take care of my child. There’s no need for others to meddle with my matters!”
Rickard had no idea what triggered Hesper’s anger. It was her fault for misunderstanding Juniper first and being warded in the hospital during this period of time. Meanwhile, Juniper would occasionally come to keep the child and his mother company, and they had a good time interacting with each other.
Yet, she began causing trouble as soon as she came home
“Hesper, return to your room to rest.”
“I won’t.”
Hesper stood there without budging and glanced at the different expressions and gazes of the people at the scene. She said in a mocking tone, “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in distributing your harmonious scene here. I just want to see my child. Hand him to me and I’ll go.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates…
Rickard was about to lose his temper when Juniper suddenly stood up and said, “It’s inevitable for Hesper to miss the child after not seeing him during this period of time. You can have him while I take the time to stroll around the garden with Madam Duval.”
Hesper could not help but feel suspicious.
Juniper hid from her just before, but now she suddenly changed her mind?
Hesper would have bothered herself to figure out Juniper’s trick, but she only wanted to hold the child.
As soon as she stretched out her arms, the initially smiley baby suddenly bawled loudly.
Hesper’s arms froze, and she lost the courage to make a single move.
“What’s going on?”
Rickard immediately walked over to check on the child, who cried even louder. His face was flushed scarlet as well.
Juniper was at a loss of what to do. “I’m unsure as well. As soon as Hesper came close, the baby cried louder.”
Upon hearing that, Rickard took the child into his arms. The child instantly stopped crying.
Sophia immediately seized the opportunity to mock Hesper. “Heh, you call yourself this kid’s mother, but he doesn’t even want to be held by you!”
