A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 106
The two women put on ferocious grins. Hesper remembered them.‘They’re the women who pinned me down and poured scalding fish soup into my mouth after I gave birth to Ren back then. Who would’ve thought that after so many years, they’d still be working for this woman? They’re really loyal!’“No, I don’t have an antidote for little Juniper. Her face is already an unsalvageable case.” Hesper’s tone sounded cold.Julie’s expression changed instantly. She rushed forward and pointed at her viciously. “Are you refusing to cooperate on purpose? Do you miss the taste of what it’s like to be beaten up by these two?”“Heh, would you dare to do so here?” Hesper did not show any vulnerability.‘Because we’re staying in the hotel, I thought nothing special would happen and arranged for Isaac to attend to other affairs. Unexpectedly, this has given Julie a chance to act all presumptuously and boldly.’Julie was furious. “B*tch, I think it’s time to teach you a lesson and remind you of who’s in

“Mom!”This was what Rickard saw when he arrived at the scene, and he rushed over anxiously to help Julie up.Hesper raised her eyebrows when she saw the scene.‘What a coincidence. It seems that God really wants us to quarrel.’Sure enough, as soon as Julie saw her son, she immediately began to make up stories. “Dick, you’ve finally come. Look at me; I came here to visit Ren, but look at what this shrew did to me! She even injured the women that came here with me! You must do something about it!”“Is that so?” Rickard’s gaze landed on Hesper, but he could not tell what kind of expression she was giving off.“That’s not it. Grandma...” Renfrew wanted to explain to his daddy anxiously.But Hesper interrupted him indifferently. “That’s right, I’m the one who did it. What of it? Are you planning to avenge your mother?”Rickard’s expression dimmed, but he did not say anything. The veins on his forehead bulged and twitched. It was obvious that he was trying his best to suppress his

“Ren, come to mommy.” Hesper smiled and waved at Renfrew, and the little boy slipped into her arms.Smelling the milky scent on her son’s body, she organized her words and decided to start from the very beginning.“I think you should have the right to know why I left you in Genencity in the first place.”So, she briefly described to Renfrew how she and Rickard got married, how they got divorced, and what the Duvals did to bully her, skipping all the bloody and violent scenes. However, with the kid’s IQ, she believed that he would understand the dilemma that she had to face back then.“In short, back then, under the circumstances, the Duvals would never agree to let me take you away, so I could only leave this place by myself and then come back to pick you up.” She rubbed her son’s head and sincerely apologized to him. “But no matter what my reasons are and how many of them I have, choosing to leave you here will always be a taint in my life. But at the end of the day, I hope that y

Myriade tried her best to stay serious, and the rest was up to Renfrew’s skills.His fingers tap-danced over the keypad of the laptop. The process was so smooth and unimpeded that it felt like he had stepped into no man’s land.In the end, the moment the video was successfully sent to Rickard’s mailbox through an anonymous email address. Even Myriade stared at him with admiration.“Nice one. You actually completed the whole thing in one go on your first attempt. You have a bright future ahead of you. You’re already doing much better than many others in our league.”“Then how about you?” Renfrew asked.The young girl sitting on the other end of the phone call glared at Renfrew’s profile picture and jumped down from a 5-foot-6-high hill in one go. She flicked her ponytail chicly, looking all sweet and cool. “Of course, you still have a long way to go when compared to me. I am, at the end of the day, still your master!”Renfrew pouted.Suddenly, a beam of light flashed across the r

Back in the Duvals’ residence.When Rickard came down the stairs, he immediately saw Julie and Sophia having breakfast in the dining hall.Julie was still brooding about what had happened the day before. She started complaining as soon as she saw him coming down.“It’s said that raising a kid is like investing in an insurance package that would safeguard one’s old age, but I disagree. Some sons are just not as good as daughters. At least my daughter knows that I’ve been bullied by an outsider and knows how to cheer me up early in the morning. Unlike my son, who actually saw the whole incident with his own eyes but pretended to not have seen anything!”“Mom, stop it already.” Sophia’s expression looked extremely embarrassed.‘I don’t mind taking such credits when things are more easygoing, but Rickard has been very displeased with me recently. Mom can, of course, mock him as much as she wants, but what if he chooses to vent his anger out on me again?But Julie did not take her dau

Seeing how she was not going to win, she used her age. “At the end of the day, you’re just covering up for that b*tch! It’s obvious how manipulative she is if she even had footage of this! I’m her elder, so how could she do this to me?”“She’s no longer part of the Duval family.” Rickard’s eyes were cold. He reminded her and himself. “She no longer needs to care about being nice to you. She has nothing to do with our family anymore.”“But—” Julie wanted to continue. So what if they were discovered? They bullied her in the past, but she wouldn’t get a chance to take revenge!However, Rickard calmly said, “Grandpa is almost home. If you continue with this, I won’t be able to protect you.”Julie froze, still worried. Mr. Duval Sr. had almost fully recovered back then, but when he came back and found out that they were divorced, he furiously left after giving them a piece of his mind. He most probably was coming back now because he heard that Hesper returned. After Rickard left,

And what was Hesper doing? “Ren, does this look pretty?”Hesper was picking something to wear in front of the closet. She had something in mind already, but she asked Renfrew because she wanted to have more interaction with him.“I think you look pretty in everything.” Renfrew gassed her up. Hesper smiled and went to change. Outside the door, Renfrew’s curious voice could be heard. “Mommy, are you going on a date?”He thought, if Mommy was going on a date, what about Dad? Would they never get back together?Hesper didn’t know what to say. After she was done changing, she gently knocked on his head. “What’s going on in that little mind of yours? I’m going to meet a client tonight, so I have to look more presentable. By the way, you’ll be spending time watching television with Uncle Isaac at home tonight, alright?”“Ma’am…” Isaac frowned. He was worried because Hesper was leaving home without him. “There’s nothing to worry about.” She smiled. “Let the others come with me. You

“Yes, do you have a problem with that?” Hesper looked down and smiled, her hair dropping onto her collarbones, beautiful and alluring. “Haha, you know each other. But Mr. Duval, you’re a little too late. We’ve signed the agreement.” The director of Drogon Tech pointed at the agreement on the table. He was a smart man.They just signed it and hadn’t even put it away yet. Rickard’s eyes turned dark as he balled up his fists. “Well, if you’ve come to an agreement, I’ll be the first to wish you a smooth partnership. Mr. Tyler, I’d like to speak to Ms. Lane in private. Could you excuse us please?”“Sure, I’ll be on my way then. Take your time.” Joseph Tyler chuckled and walked out. When he walked past them, he even whistled. Benji felt like he wanted to yell at someone. Joseph knew how important the project was to them, but he toyed with them then signed with someone else. That was just rude!“You need to go out too,” Rickard said.Benji was stunned, but when he realized that he w

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
