A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

"You... You're my mommy."

Hestia could feel the softness in Renfrew's attitude and explained, "I don't have any memory about you for now, and I don't like children either. So if you want to throw a tantrum here, please know that I won't do anything to coax you."

Renfrew digested Hestia's words rather slowly, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

However, even so, Renfrew still did not cry, because Hestia had already told him that she did not like children crying, so even if he wanted to cry, he knew that his mommy would only dislike him even more if he were to do so.

Seeing that Renfrew was still obedient, Hestia's expression softened a little, and she asked Renfrew to sit down on the couch.

"There's no breakfast here, so if you're hungry, go outside and find Uncle Kenji." Hestia sat down, turned on her laptop, and continued to look at the arrangements for the studio. "When your father comes, you can go to him. He should be here soon."

Rickard was indeed almost here.

Rickard usually arrived at the company early. If Renfrew had not gone missing all of a sudden and could not be found anywhere, he would already be in his office at this time. He had been busy searching for Renfrew all morning, at least until he received Kenji's update about his son; that was when he asked everyone under his order to stop looking.

He did not expect Renfrew to find a way to come out and meet his mommy even when he was not allowed to see Hestia.

Thinking of how Renfrew often ran away from home in the past, he did not expect that even if he was a little autistic now, he would still sneak out of the mansion without leaving a message and remembered to delete the surveillance footage.

Benji was driving the car when he sighed inwardly for Renfrew, but what he wanted to know about the most now was Hestia's attitude towards the young master.

'Ms. Deschamps has been very indifferent to Young Master Renfrew. She's completely different from Ms. Rivera. But Young Master Renfrew has always been very obedient and sensible, so no matter how indifferent Ms. Deschamps is, she probably wouldn't reject such a cute child, right?'

"This is not going to turn out well."

Rickard was not as optimistic as Benji was. When Kenji called him just now, his tone sounded rather awkward. It could be seen that Hestia was looking after Renfrew now only because she did not want him to cause her more trouble.

'No matter what, my top priority is to bring Renfrew back.'

After arriving at Duval Group, Rickard went straight to Hestia's office.

"Come in." Hestia lifted her head when she heard the knock on the door.

Renfrew was indeed very quiet. He had only been sitting on the couch, staring at her the whole time.

When Rickard walked into the office, he saw Renfrew sitting on the small couch, staring at Hestia very attentively. He did not seem to have heard him coming in and did not even turn his head.

Rickard remained silent for a moment, then walked over and said, "Renfrew, Mommy has to work, so let's not disturb her. Come out with me, okay?"

Renfrew reacted slightly to his words but still shook his head dully when he met Rickard's gaze.

Rickard wanted to test Hestia's thoughts about Renfrew too, so he took the opportunity to look up at Hestia, only to see her wrinkle her nose and say, "Forget it. He's pretty quiet, so as long as he doesn't make any noise, I'll just regard him as an extra ornament in my office."

"...Thank you."

Hestia was a little surprised that someone like Rickard would actually say thank you to her. At this moment, she remembered her wedding engagement with Nathaniel, so she spoke up about it.

"By the way, I'm going to get married soon, probably next month. Seeing that we're partners, do you want to attend my wedding?"
