Hesper did not know whether Lily had always been this way and hid her true nature due to her illness, or whether she had truly matured overnight.All in all, this was a good thing."Hesper!" Lily's eyes lit up when she saw Hesper.Seeing this, Lily's language teacher stood aside and marveled at the change in her student upon seeing Hesper.She could not help but feel a strange tension every time she faced Lily. Although the young girl appeared extremely harmless, every time their eyes met, Lily would not fail to remind her with her gaze that the young girl standing before her was no ordinary teenager but the future matriarch of the Turners.However, when facing Hesper, she truly turned into a delicate girl of her age."We're done with today's lessons, so I'll take my leave," the teacher said, nodding toward Lily and Hesper.Hesper stepped aside and let the teacher out of the room. She stared at the smile on Lily's face and rejoiced. "Why are you suddenly so free today?"Hesper

With this in mind, Hesper did not feel too anxious. After all, she would surely be at the banquet tomorrow, and another incident couldn't happen to Lily like last time.'I will protect Lily. Now that she's recovered, this is the best opportunity for those people to carry out their scheme, eliminating her as soon as possible. Otherwise, they won't a place within the Turners anymore. So we have to be extremely cautious.'Hence, Rickard received a message from Hesper in the evening, saying that she would not be coming home for the next two days, so he would have to sleep alone.Seeing the message, Rickard was puzzled for a moment.The night passed smoothly without any incidents, and Liam felt relieved knowing that Hesper was protecting Lily. Not only was Hesper capable of handling herself in a fight, but she was also highly proficient in medicine, making her a formidable all-rounder when protecting someone.With her by Lily's side, nothing untoward would happen to Lily.Hesper had n

Lily was already aware of the Andersons' schemes, as Hesper was outspoken about it. Hesper was the most familiar with the thoughts of those who had plotted against Lily.Originally, Liam had already had some disagreements with the Andersons, and with their arrival today, another conflict was highly likely.Hesper and Lily exchanged glances. Just then, Briar walked toward them from a short distance away. Hesper raised an eyebrow, not expecting Briar to approach them voluntarily."Ms. Rivera, it's been a while."They had just seen each other not long ago when Hesper had visited the Andersons' residence to demand Chelsea's release. Hesper gave a wry smile as her eyes sparkled. "Mr. Anderson, if you claim it's been a while, I'll go along with it. But could it be that you've missed me so much that weeks feel like years to you?"Hesper had always been known for her unyielding attitude, and her response left Briar momentarily speechless. He smiled and turned his attention to Lily, who st

On the other side, Luna felt like her face was about to go numb from all the smiles.She used to be ecstatic every year at this time because it was her moment of glory. Even Liam would be by her side throughout the entire banquet.However, even though everything was still the same this year, the banquet being as grand as it always was and Liam still by her side, Luna couldn't shake the feeling that everything had changed.Even though she stood next to Liam, these people had come to celebrate her birthday, and everyone still treated her politely... It just wasn't the same.This year, the limelight had shifted to Lily.The gazes that should have been on her had all turned away and fixated on Lily and Hesper in the corner. This was so evident that it was impossible for Luna to overlook it, but she had no way to redirect the attention back to herself. Although Luna knew that Lily had recovered physically and had recently started to learn to speak, she never expected Lily to make suc

Liam had observed all of Lily's efforts and progress during this period. He knew that achieving the current level of success in such a short time was no easy feat. The attention Lily had received earlier and the current scrutiny from the public were the best responses to her recent efforts."Won't Mr. Chronos come today?" Liam turned around and asked.Hesper hesitated for a moment and then shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't invite him, but maybe he'll show up uninvited again."Based on Hesper's understanding of Rickard, he should be on his way there. After all, Rickard often treated her as if she were made of glass, so delicate that she constantly needed protection. However, Hesper was the one who bullied others out here."Master Turner, please stay with Elle for a while. There's something I need to confirm."Although Liam didn't know Hesper's exact intentions, he agreed, allowing Hesper to leave.Of course, what Hesper needed to confirm was the identity of Pierette's child
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1596
Regardless of what reaction she could provoke from Luna, nothing was more accurate than precise data. Pierette was currently in their confinement, and obtaining a strand of her hair was as easy as falling off a log.Hesper would not normally run into Luna, but today presented a golden opportunity that she had to seize."So, Ms. Rivera… Do you suspect that Luna is Pierette’s daughter?" After Hesper explained what she had just done, Liam froze for a split second and continued, "But she’s the child whom my wife and I picked up, and I’ve never doubted her identity.""But you didn’t suspect Christopher in the past either, did you?"One sentence was all it took to render Liam speechless. He stared at Hesper in embarrassment and then realized that what Hesper said seemed to make sense, so he could only remain silent.Liam’s biggest problem was his unwavering trust in those close to him.Hesper had already achieved her objective; she did not intend to continue to make Luna’s life difficu

Hesper suddenly remembered something and handed Rickard Luna's strand of hair that she had stashed away earlier. "We need to collect Pierette's hair as well."Rickard accepted the hair and nodded. "You've been traveling back and forth quite frequently recently, so I've arranged for Renee and Sylvie to come over."Hesper raised an eyebrow in surprise. She hadn't expected Rickard to summon them."They departed this afternoon."'So soon?' Hesper was taken aback. She would be able to meet her trusted assistants in the morning."Is there a rush? Did you say something to them that worried them?" Hesper looked at Rickard with suspicion. She knew that Sylvie was dependable, but Renee had never held a favorable opinion of Rickard.Rickard responded with a hint of helplessness, "No, I simply told them that there's a lot going on here, and you might need some assistance. I suggested they come and help you."It made sense. Renee and Sylvie were always eager to lend a hand when Hesper had im

Hesper's sudden discomfort raised suspicions, given her historically excellent health. How could such an issue suddenly manifest?However, Hesper had previously examined herself and found nothing wrong. This did not give her ease but rather left her even more bewildered.Hesper couldn't fathom experiencing such sensations without any prior health problems. It was more than just light-headedness or dizziness. She had always considered herself in excellent physical condition and capable of enduring pain. However, amid the crowd, she felt as though she might black out if she stayed any longer."Could this be a consequence of memory recovery?" Benji tentatively inquired from the side, and Hesper shook her head. She hadn't heard of memory recovery causing this kind of physical discomfort. Besides, she was feeling much better now, and further examination might not reveal anything new. So, she decided to leave it at that.There were still four hours until the banquet, so she could take a

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
