A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1502
The reason why everyone was out and about today was that it was the penultimate day at the black market, and the owner of the black market would host a fireworks display at sea in the evening. Although the fireworks were nothing out of the ordinary and had become quite common among all the attendees, it was still a gesture from the owner.Most people who boarded the black market would still show the owner some respect. After all, the person behind all this was quite enigmatic. Hesper, on the other hand, did not have any ulterior motives. She was here because she believed fireworks over the sea would be glamorous. Many of her wonderful memories with Rickard somehow involved fireworks.Hesper turned around, saw Lucian walking toward her from a short distance away, and could not help but lift an eyebrow.Many people in the black market had already seen Lucian around the ship, and although they did not know his true identity, they could tell he was not an ordinary person. Hence, people

With this thought in mind, Lucian did not hesitate further. He turned around and left the scene while Hesper stared at his back as he walked away. Although she still felt that something was off deep down, she did not show it.Today's highlight was far from coming, and Hesper did not want to waste her energy and focus here.After Lucian left, no one dared to approach Hesper. They were mainly concerned about getting themselves into trouble, and it was not until the Andersons arrived that this stalemate was broken.Earl followed behind Briar and Dean and glanced at Hesper nervously. Ever since returning to the Andersons, he had been feeling increasingly regretful. He would not feel so anxious now if he had not shared so much information with Hesper.But the matter had taken place, and all he could do now was silently pray that Hesper was a woman of her word and that she would not expose him in front of the three brothers.Earl knew that Hesper must have noticed his presence, but she

For Hesper, such a transformation should be easily detectable. Thinking about this, a hint of inquiry flashed across Briar’s eyes, but he did not reveal it. After all, he had unknowingly chosen a side, and if he wanted to believe in Hesper, he would have to believe in her in all aspects.Hesper knew that her actions would arouse Briar’s suspicion, but just like the black market trade was about to end with fireworks, the same was true for her identity. Hence, there was no need to hide it any longer."Are you going to watch the fireworks alone tonight?" Briar turned his head slightly and admitted that the woman standing before him was breathtakingly gorgeous.‘If she became my wife... It might be a new boost to my plan.’Hesper, unaware that Briar had new ideas about her, kept talking. "My brother will be here soon. Are you and Mr. Dean going to watch with us?"Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but the people nearby observing her could hear her words clearly. They could not help

Dean's failure seemed to be the most exciting thing in the world for Briar."If Mr. Dean doesn't want to join us, that's fine." Hesper gazed at Dean with a sly smile. As long as one was paying close attention to her expression, one could see Hesper was slightly offended.Benji glanced at Hesper with slight confusion. Hesper was not the type to wear her emotions on her sleeve, but he quickly realized.'This might be a deliberate act Ma'am is putting on for Dean's benefit. However, this b*stard can be somewhat unreasonable at times. He was the one who approached Ma'am before, intending to use her as a springboard for some advancements in his life. But as soon as he felt his speculations and fantasies were shattered, he immediately judged Hesper subjectively and spread rumors about her. He's nothing more than a self-centered opportunist hiding behind a façade of gentility.'The people here are foxes from all corners of the world. I don't want to play this game with them.'"Well, I'll

Hearing Rickard's name, Benji could only think of surrender.'Are you kidding? Mr. Duval dotes on Ma'am, not to mention that I'm the one who's at fault here. Even if it were Ma'am's fault, Mr. Duval would still take her side.'Just thinking about it made Benji feel like he was watching the real-life version of Romeo and Juliet, and could not help but shiver at the corniness."However, Dean doesn't seem to be someone who would act so recklessly," Hesper said after pondering. "Even if he's suspicious of me or lost his cool because of jealousy, he wouldn't have transformed into who he is now in just a few days.""Hmmm..." Benji had not been overly suspicious at first. Of course, Dean must have deduced something during the long period when he had not been around; thus, his change in attitude did not seem particularly odd on its own.However, after listening to Hesper, Benji suddenly felt that his previous thoughts might have been too simplistic and shallow.Despite the odds, Dean was

As Rickard approached from a distance, Roy could not help but sit up straighter.Whenever he saw Rickard, Roy felt like he had returned to high school. It was as if he suddenly saw his teacher walking toward him when he had done something wrong. This mixture of fear and respect could not be easily explained in just a few words.Kenji stepped aside, and Rickard approached Roy, saying, "You're safe here. If you need anything, you can contact Kenji or anyone else here."Roy knew that if he were still wandering around, he might never have had the chance to encounter someone like Rickard, so he nodded. "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you, and I'll surely do my best to keep my sorry behind safe."Rickard nodded and turned to look at Kenji. "I'll leave him to you.""Yes, sir."They were not even on the black market ship anymore. Last night, Rickard had secretly transported Roy out of there. If this matter had anything to do with the black market's owner, the other party woul

The man's face was unfamiliar to Hesper, and she had no recollection of him. However, his tone suggested a familiarity that momentarily left her in doubt."May I know who you are?" Hesper asked.The man scoffed upon seeing Hesper's face. He did not look exceptionally young. Hesper's mind raced through several thoughts, seemingly recalling something. After a short while, she turned around and exchanged gazes with Benji.'Could this be the man we've been searching for all this while?'"Ms. Deschamps, if you already have an idea of who I am, then I suppose I'm indeed the person you're thinking of."The man's words took Hesper by surprise. She had never expected that the person they had been looking for all this while would suddenly appear before her in this manner, and he had done so voluntarily.Furthermore, even though the man had addressed her as "Ms. Deschamps," that was untrue. Hesper stared at him and saw a message in his eyes that seemed to say, "I know you're not Hestia Desc

The man did not hesitate for a moment and began counting down after stating the time that he would give Hesper to consider. Benji’s mind was in turmoil, unsure whether it was better to go with him or to stay put for the time being.‘But this is our only chance. Giving up now would pose a tremendous loss, wouldn’t it?’"Two."Without pausing for too long, the man continued counting.Benji looked at Hesper, waiting for her to make a decision. However, he noticed that Hesper’s expression was much calmer and more composed than he had imagined, which gave him a sense of reassurance.But it was not unusual; whatever decision Hesper made should not be too bad."One.""I’ll go with you."The two voices sounded almost simultaneously. The man raised his eyebrows upon hearing Hesper’s response. "I’ve always known that you’re a decisive person, Ms. Rivara. In that case, let’s go now. We’ll negotiate the subsequent terms after I’ve proven my identity.""Alright."Seeing this, Benji nodded

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
