“Matt?”
Hesper, not having expected him to show up, tugged at her sleeve that she rolled up before.
“Why are you waiting here? I’m not a child anymore. I can find my way home.”
Matthew shook his head. “It’s too late. As a woman, it’s unsafe for you to be alone.”
“Oh…” Hesper walked over to walk next to him.
Hesper felt down-to-earth as she walked next to him because there was a sense of familial love that she never felt before this.
The feeling Matthew gave was different from what she got from Grandpa Ernest. Maybe because Hesper used to be more egoistic and sensitive, but she was thankful and respected the man who pulled her out of the orphanage.
However, Matthew was different. Hesper thought that she was meant to be his sister after meeting him.
When they got home, Hesper suddenly remembered that Matthew couldn’t cook, so she was curious if he had eaten.
“What did you have for dinner?”
Matthew was silent for a few minutes. “I didn’t.”
As Hesper expected. She nodded.
