Sherese hesitated to speak for a bit, but only nodded in the end.Without diving into the topic any longer, as Hesper might come downstairs all of a sudden, Rickard turned around and went upstairs. Meanwhile, Sherese took a glance at Rickard’s back with a complicated expression, then turned away and left the villa....When Christmas approached, Hesper finally felt that she was almost cured, and Vitalis had finally exerted its full effect. Although the hallucinogenic drug circulating in her body had been improved, Vitalis was still the best cure the world could offer."It seems that there won't be any problem now." Hesper stared at the Iron Blossom on her desk as she sank into deep thoughts and spoke to herself after a while, "I’ve been studying this plant very meticulously all this time, and it does feel very familiar, doesn’t it?"The Iron Blossom that Stephen had with him had budded, and that was why Hesper had not asked Rickard to hand the herb over to Raheem. She still prefer
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1207
Because there was a lot of shopping to do on the island during Christmas, some people were recruited from the outside world. Hesper was worried that there were not enough people to use in the time to come, so she asked Zaylour and Renee to come to Leafdelle Island during this time.Tomorrow was the time.Zoya had invented some gadgets and wanted them to be handed over to Hesper, and just like the device that was given to Camille during her engagement banquet, they could only be used once, but she had slightly improved them, so Zaylour had been asked to bring a lot of things there.It had been a while since Hesper last met Zaylour, but he still looked the same, while Renee looked at Hesper worriedly, feeling that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.Hesper did not tell Renee about her illness due to the hallucinogenic drug because Renee valued her the most, and if Renee were to find out about what happened to her on Leafdelle Island, she would certainly be extremely worried abou

"The two of us make a tiny target. Plus, Rickard and I are from around here, so it won’t be too surprising for the guards if the two of us appear somewhere near that place. But if we were to bring Zaylour with us, things would become more complicated, as we’ve brought people from outside the island into the matter."Although Hesper did not get treated like that too often ever since she got here, Leafdelle Island was known for discriminating against people from outside the island, so bringing a foreigner might cause some unnecessary disputes.After hearing Hesper’s explanation, no matter how worried Renee was, she knew that this was the only way to go.After the conversation was over, Rickard walked in from the courtyard and said to Hesper, "Pierette asked to see you just now, and Quincey said that you can decide for yourself whether you want to see her or not.""...Pierette?" Hesper was a little surprised.Ever since the last time she went to see Pierette and came back without mak

Hesper frowned. Pierette sat down and languidly patted the empty seat next to her. "Don’t be so nervous. Take a seat and let’s have a chat."Taking a glance at Pierette, Hesper sat down across from her—— She did not like to get too close to people, let alone someone who once wanted to plot against her."You look different from last time." As soon as Pierette said so, Hesper froze for a split second, but she did not give off much facial expression.Pierette then continued, "I don’t know if you’ve ever been to this small hut in the Savatiers' state, which looks very similar to my place. It’s very remote."This kind of description made Hesper think of the hut that Ranfik brought her to back then, and as soon as she thought of the unknown resident who had stayed in the hut sometime in the past, Hesper squinted her eyes."Judging from your expression, you've been there, haven't you?" Pierette stroked her eyes lightly with her fingertips. "I was locked up there before. I haven’t been li

Although Pierette’s version of the story sounded cryptic, Hesper understood what she meant.‘When she and Raheem were together, they didn’t love each other at all. She only did so because of her jealousy towards Brigette. That was how she went down the wrong path.’"Is Raheem the culprit behind the hallucinogenic drug incident?"When Hesper spoke suddenly, Pierette was a little astonished, but she instantly shook her head and sneered. "That idiot... He’s not the culprit behind that incident. In fact, he’s the biggest victim."Hesper was astounded for a moment, getting a response she never expected, but she did not completely believe in her. After all, Pierette had built herself a reputation as a liar in Hesper’s mind, as she had experienced her deceiving side before. "What evidence do you have to convince me?"The last person who claimed that the Mustafas were innocent was Sharmila, and Hesper asked her the same question at that time, but Sharmila did not have time to answer her a

As Hesper left, her expression grew grave. She did not even notice Rickard approaching until he reached out and grabbed her hand, his gaze meeting her complex eyes."What's the matter?"Although it was not confirmed yet, Hesper did not want to keep such a significant matter from Rickard. So she spoke up, "I just met Pierette, and she told me something important. Brigette is still alive."Rickard's eyebrows furrowed as he lightly touched Hesper's forehead with the back of his hand to make sure that she was fine. She then caught his wrist, her gaze intense as she said, "While I can't be certain, I can sense that Pierette was behaving differently from the last time. If it's true, isn't that a good thing?"Hesper knew that Rickard's feelings towards Brigette were not exactly the same as hers towards her father. She wanted to find Benjamin primarily to uncover the truth of the past. It was also the wishes of Edward as well as her grandfather's.However, Rickard had spent a significant

Ranfik had not been making a fuss for a long time, so his sudden change in behavior must have a reason behind it. "Who knows what he's suddenly thinking? It seems like something good happened in the past few days. Even the stone-faced Iqbal, appears unusually friendly," Camille remarked.Upon hearing this, Hesper seemed to have a realization and turned to look at Rickard, who nodded in agreement. Previously, while Hesper had intended to confirm the authenticity of the Iron Blossom, she received news from Stephen that the flower bud had been affected by frost and would take a few more days to bloom. After considering it, Hesper decided to give the flower to the Mustafas first. After all, the Mustafas would naturally be able to distinguish its authenticity, and now it appeared that Hesper's speculations were correct. It was Rickard who handed over the Iron Blossom to the Mustafas, which explained Ranfik's sudden abnormal behavior. It was evident that the Mustafas were about to mak

"Sherese has already come here to test the security before. The guards at these locations are the weakest," Rickard said as he pointed out a few places. Hesper nodded, snapping back to focus after a moment."You really didn't hesitate to command her to come to such dangerous places, huh," Hesper remarked. She knew that Rickard must have known Sherese's true identity for a long time. However, even after recognizing her as his long lost younger sister, surprisingly, he still treated her as a subordinate.Feeling somewhat helpless, Rickard cleared his throat, choosing not to explain too much. Hesper also understood that now was not the time to dwell on this matter. She turned her attention and focused on the locations Rickard had pointed out."When the time comes, I'll divert their attention. The Mustafas should be familiar with me," Hesper said. "If you see Benjamin, contact me through the communication device."Thanks to the new devices brought by Zoya, they could not only excha

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
