"Again." Hesper laid on the floor when Seth's voice came from above. She waved her hand. "Give me some time, don't rush it."Seth looked down at her and sighed. "Are you still not giving up?""Of course not. I knew it was going to be tiring before I started learning thisss…" Hesper flipped around and sat up. "I'm not going to give up."Seth was surprised when he reached out to help her up. "Thanks."Watching her hype herself up even though she looked half dead, Seth was silent for a while before he said, "Your leg was injured in the past, right? It looks pretty bad.""You could tell?" Hesper was surprised. "You're so skinny. I thought you only learned kickboxing for self-defense but it turns out you're quite good at this."Seth cleared his throat awkwardly. "I'm very professional."Remembering their previous topic, Seth spoke in a deep voice. "Your leg is still injured, so if you want to learn kickboxing, it might cause more friction. I don't think you should continue.""Fr

"Is there a problem?"Hesper shook her head. "I know this person. Everything else is fine.""Oh…" Pennleigh was confused. She said that she knew the client, but then she also said that there was no problem… So was there a problem or not?***Once the break began, Seth would temporarily go home. He didn't know why but he felt relieved. "Was training me so tiring? You just haven't seen me for a few months and you look so much more relaxed."Hesper pretended to be annoyed. After Seth heard that, he went back to having a poker face and said after a long pause, "What do you know? Focus on your posture. We'll spar later."Hesper felt that they had gotten closer, but he immediately went back to being cold. She didn't want to read too much into it. "By the way, I need your help on another thing." Hesper asked Seth to not tell anyone about her changing her face, even if it was Nate. However, now that Seth was going back, he might spend a lot of time with Nathaniel, so she was worried

Now that she thought about it, the only thing that Isobella didn't like about Hesper was that she didn't have the looks to match Pennleigh. Men are all visual animals. How could she guarantee that even her son would be loyal for the rest of his life just because of love? Beauty was different though; beauty would always be beauty. Isobella spoke to the older guests most of the time, so Hesper just stood there in the background. She was used to that. She would say a few words whenever they chatted with her. That was something she knew well. "Pennleigh, your dad wants you to go upstairs to speak to him."Pennleigh was having fun watching Hesper but was soon held back by Isobella. "Tell your dad how you've been recently. There'll be one more guest who's coming later. Do your best.""Guest?" Pennleigh frowned, but before he could say anything, Hesper felt someone shove her and squeeze between her and Pennleigh. "Penn, I haven't seen you in so long!"A girl threw herself onto Pennle

However, when she compared them now… The difference was staggering. Was it because of their difference in age? Hesper came from a normal family but she was much more graceful than Aelinor, as if she wasn't someone who was still in school but someone who had worked for years. Isobelle smiled and shook her head. What was she thinking? Hesper had more experience in life, so she was more mature. Hesper stared at her toes in boredom but heard someone coming down the stairs. She looked up and saw Pennleigh jogging down the stairs, looking anxious. When their eyes met, he frowned. "What's the hurry?" Isobella grabbed his hand. "You should be more mature at your age."Hesper watched what happened. Pennleigh seemed to have something to say to her, but Isobella stood between them, so he could only stare at her from a distance. Hesper understood something from his hesitation in speaking, but what was he trying to tell her? Hesper blinked a few times and still didn't understand. "Yo

Meanwhile, when he realized that he had to pretend to be in love with Hesper, Pennleigh frowned and looked at Hesper. "Do you think he would believe us? Why would you fall for me?""It's simple. I was in distress and you helped." Hesper was determined to make Rickard jealous; it didn't matter if he believed them. "You don't have to say anything. All you need to do is pretend to be loving. He's not going to ask us about our relationship in front of everyone here. You're the host and he's a guest.""Um… alright." Pennleigh leaned closer, his light grey eyes smiling as he looked at her. "How do we pretend to be loving?"'He's gotten into character very quickly,' Hesper thought.When Rickard and Petruchio walked down the stairs, they saw Pennleigh and Hesper standing very close to each other. Pennleigh saw them, raised his brows, and leaned even closer to her. Rickard didn't buy the childish act because he knew Hesper had loved him for years and wouldn't be interested in a young man
