Feeling that her tone sounded a little too harsh and blunt, Hesper sighed—— But Renfrew was still very young, and although they could settle down almost immediately in Montequinto, it was still too dangerous to bring Renfrew along with them."I think you can take Renfrew with you." Zoya muttered from the side, "Renfrew can actually pull off many things that I’m capable of without my instructions now. He’s no longer the ignorant little kid you once knew."Renfrew nodded emphatically when he heard Zoya speaking up for him as if he was eager to prove himself. But Hesper still shook her head after a short moment of hesitation.Seeing that the two were caught in an endless loop, Rickard finally said, "Let’s take Renfrew with us to Montequinto this time around."Hearing Rickard’s decision, both the mother and the son stared at Rickard, and Hesper’s eyes were beaming with disbelief, while Renfrew’s eyes were filled with joy and excitement. "Look, Mommy! Daddy agrees with me!"Hesper did
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1298
After getting all matters sorted out in Genecity, it was time for the few of them to go to Montequinto.Knowing that Hesper and Rickard were traveling to Montequinto, apart from Renfrew, who was devastated at the beginning, the Lanes were the most saddened.They had just reunited with each other, and they were soon going to part ways again, not to mention that it could not be regarded as a real reunion. As for Benjamin, Hesper had only met him a few times during this period of time.In fact, Hesper’s feelings for Benjamin were now even more complicated. It was not a big deal to her at first, but what Zoya said the other day had been leaving her deep in her thoughts—— In fact, what Zoya said completely on point. What Benjamin had done in the past was what she had been doing all this while.They were just sticking to what they thought was the right thing to do.So before leaving for Montequinto, Hesper chose to go back to Emperion to meet Benjamin.Benjamin did not expect to be abl

"If you don't bring Hesper back in one piece, then you’d better not come back at all."Hesper could not help but feel a little helpless, while Rickard nodded mindfully.Renfrew put on his tiny suit again today, making him look like a little gentleman, and stood beside Rickard. He raised his head and looked up at Hesper."Matt, I’ll take my leave now."Hearing this, Matthew’s gaze looked somewhat reluctant, but he could only nod at the end and turned around. "The Lanes have some degree of influence in Montequinto. Although it’s not as prominent as our influence in Emperion, someone from the Lanes is never wronged while traveling there.""Okay!" Hesper exchanged gazes with Rickard and then grabbed Renfrew’s free hand. "Matt, we’re going now. See you."It was not until the three of them disappeared from his sight that Matthew turned around, heaved a lengthy sigh, and said to himself with hints of complicated emotions beaming from the bottom of his eyes, "I hope you’ll have a safe jo

But the incident had already taken place, so no matter what had happened, they could not blame Sherese for it. Brigette was someone way too special to her. Although Brigette was also Rickard’s mother, the relationship that Sherese shared with their mother was very different than what Rickard had, thus, sparking a completely different response between the brother and sister."Our men have been searching everywhere, and we haven’t received any updates so far, which in my book, is considered good news." Frankie’s words did make sense, but Hesper could not help but sigh.‘If I'd spoken to Sherese before this, we might not be here—— But if someone is to blame, Pierette mustn’t be forgotten.’When Raheem got into trouble back then, Pierette took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the Savatiers. So far, no one knew where she currently was, what she wanted to do, and whether the information she told Sherese was accurate.Hesper would prefer that Pierette had told Sherese half-truths,

"If you don't have any useful information, I can only find out through my own method," Rickard said. He knew that Jade was still hiding something since he was hemming and hawing when he spoke, but it did not concern him much. Even though their purpose of coming here was to rescue Jade's son, Sherese had the final say.If he could not save Jade's son because he refused to tell him the truth, it would not be his fault.Jade knew what Rickard was implying, and he became anxious. After a moment, he said, "It's not that I don't want to tell. It's just that I'm ashamed of my son and his actions."Upon Hesper's entrance into the room, she caught snippets of the discussion between Rickard and Jade. Given Jade's past association with Ernest during his youth, he could be presumed to be an upright person. When she heard that the Summers were involved in gambling establishments, she was shocked."It's okay, Master Summers. I'm here to help you solve your problem. You can tell me everything."

As she walked out of her room, Hesper coincidentally ran into Frankie. The moment he saw her, he greeted her warmly."Morning, Madam!" Frankie was a tad more enthusiastic compared to others. Among those around Hesper, only Jessie and Dianthe were more talkative. Thus, Hesper was not sure how to interact with him."Mr. Duval has already gone out early in the morning," Frankie said, giving Hesper the answer to the question in her mind. Suddenly, Hesper realized that Frankie seemed to possess a certain ability. Each time he seemingly could grasp what someone was thinking. However, he did not strike Hesper as someone intrusive, and he gave an impression different from Nathaniel."Did you study psychology, Frankie?"Frankie nodded and smiled, "Yes, Madam. But I'm not good at it. My teacher says I always fail to hide my emotions and can't guide others' emotions either."'Yet you're pretty good at reading others' minds,' Hesper thought inwardly. Truth be told, Hesper did not quite li

Hesper, [What did you do today?]This time, it took a while for Rickard to reply to her. Rickard, [I found Sherese. But the situation is kind of complicated now.]If even Rickard described situations as complicated, Hesper knew that it must be a tricky one. However, she felt at ease after confirming that Rickard was safe but instead entangled in unknown circumstances. Besides, it would be even more worthwhile if he really had found Sherese. With the thought in mind, Hesper smiled as she shared the news with Renfrew and Frankie, both of whom breathed a sigh of relief."Well, if Mr. Duval is safe, then that's great," Frankie said. Renfrew clapped his hands, and Hesper looked at him. "Since Dad is fine, how about I take you out to play in the afternoon, Renfrew? Would you like to explore outside?"Being his first time in the country, Renfrew was naturally curious about many things. Excitedly, he nodded at Hesper. "Yes, yes! Mommy, let's go out and play!"The main point was not

Although Heper and Renfrew before him appeared ordinary, her impeccable command of the Montequintan left a favorable impression. The security guard pondered for a moment before responding, "They need extras inside. The filming hasn't started yet. If you sign up, there's a chance you might be selected.""Thank you," Hesper replied thoughtfully, then glanced down at her son in her arms. "Renfrew, do you really want to go inside and take a look?""Yeah!" Renfrew nodded and then curiously asked, "What's an extra?"Hesper was taken aback. "Renfrew, can you understand what we're talking about?"Renfrew blinked and replied, "I can understand, but not all. Ms. Myriade showed me books before. She mentioned that not knowing other languages can be embarrassing and might not suit the image of a demanding CEO's son."Hesper chuckled when she heard what Renfrew said. Yet, a perplexed expression crossed Renfrew's face, and he furrowed his brow slightly. "Mommy, what does a demanding CEO mean? Da

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

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
