A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 161
There was a knock on the door, and Juniper was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her bed. She then asked angrily, “Who is it?”The person outside the door did not speak, and it took a while for Ariana to open the door and walk in, looking a little worried. “Juni.”Seeing that it was her mother, Juniper took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness and displeasure in her heart, and said in a soft voice, “Mom, is there anything urgent? I have some work to do right now. If there’s nothing too urgent, let me get my work done first.”Ariana walked up to Juniper and took her hand. “Juni, be honest with me. Hesper Rivera just ran into an accident in Salt City. Do you have anything to do with it?”Juniper did not expect her mother to be so perceptive. Since she was a child, she had always been a well-behaved and obedient child in everyone’s mind, and she was the center of envy of all girls of the same age, so she would never admit to committing such a murderous act.“Mom! How co

“I think you’re the one who’s lost your mind. Do you really think I’m still the Hesper Rivera who you could deal with however you like?”Hesper’s gaze was filled with resentment, and her face was extremely pale due to the severe pain.Julie was taken aback by her murderous look, and the agonizing pain in her arm served as a great reminder to her that Hesper was no longer the pushover she used to be!“Rickard is still lying on the hospital bed and hasn’t woken up yet. How dare you treat me like this, you b*tch? Do you even have a heart?!” Julie cursed.Hesper listened in silence for a while and then sneered. “Did Rickard bleed a lot? And is his injury serious?”Julie was frightened by Hesper’s sneer and dared not speak out, for fear that Isaac would dislocate her other arm. She then heard from Hesper. “No matter how serious his injury is, will it be as severe as what I experienced in the past when you disguised the doll as Renfrew and threw it off the building, baiting me to jump d

Matthew responded with a hum and walked forward. Seeing Hesper’s pale complexion, he forcibly suppressed his rage.“Grandpa cooked some soup for you himself and kept telling me to watch you finish it before leaving you to yourself.”Hesper’s eyes widened, and she bargained, “The thermos is so huge. Just how much soup did he cook? I’ll turn into a ball after finishing it!”Looking at Hesper’s coquettish smiling face, Matthew sighed, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the top of her head. “Then you’re to give Grandpa a call and tell him that you’re not going to finish the soup. Anyway, this is the task he assigned to me; if I were to fail to accomplish it, he’ll definitely nag me over the years to come.”Hesper laughed. “I’ll tell Grandpa that you speak ill of him behind his back.”The two chatted for a while before Hesper remembered that there was something more important that they should talk about.“The person staying in the next ward saved my life. She’s also an orphan, and she

Hesper really did not want Matthew to know about those embarrassing past events. After all, the past had already passed, and one had to look forward in order to move forward in life. But it would not matter too even if Matthew were to find out about it.Every person would go through ups and downs in life, and Matthew was the person who reached out to her and lent her a helping hand when she was at her worst.Looking at Hesper, who seemed extremely carefree, Matthew could only rub her head. “Get Isaac to stay in front of your door at all times so that no random sh*tsack can hurt you again. And where’s Renee? I don’t think I’ve seen her ever since you got hurt this time around, not even once.”Regarding her suspicion that Juniper had hired someone to push her into her demise in Salt City, Hesper had not mentioned it to anyone yet. She even hesitated and avoided answering Isaac’s questions when he asked her about the incident, and she had not brought the incident up again.It was not

“Hello, hello? Can you hear me?”The Bluetooth earphone that Renfrew had on suddenly sounded, and the voice that came through belonged to the worried Myriade who had not received a reply to her message, but it was only a mechanical voice. “Don’t talk too much to strangers. There are a lot of children who are getting kidnapped and sold to foreign countries now, and don’t forget that you’re Rickard Duval’s son, so you’re worth a fortune.”“Thank you, young lady. I know how to get there now.” Renfrew thanked the ladies, picked up his small backpack, and walked away along the roadside under the shade of trees.Myriade: Wouldn’t it be more convenient for you to take a taxi than to ask around for directions? Just give me the license plate number when you get in the taxi.Renfrew: Okay, Ms. Myriade!On the other side, Hesper was already on the brink of losing her mind, while bodyguards of the Duvals had already been searching for Renfrew in the areas around the Duvals’ residence. However

Sophia was lying on the king-sized bed in her room and scrolling through her cell phone uneasily.‘Renfrew’s disappearance isn’t a trivial matter. When Benji came over to pull the surveillance footage just now, he got to see how mother and I have been treating the kid these few days, and his gaze changed almost instantly. It’s impossible for Benji not to tell Rickard about this kind of thing. That is to say, Rickard might be in a coma now, but when he wakes up and hears about how we’ve been treating Renfrew, he’ll surely give us hell.’What happened before this had not even passed yet, and regrets were already accumulating in Sophia’s chest.‘What good has it done me by managing to make that little brat feel upset?’Sophia was still caught in her thoughts when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door. She shouted annoyedly, “What’s up with the noise? Do you people need to be reminded of the rules? Sawyer, Sawyer?”As soon as Sophia stopped shouting for the butler, a

The bodyguards on the side picked the two of them up and threw them to the ground. “You two should kneel while you wait. This would make you look more sincere, wouldn’t it?”Julie and Sophia hugged each other, knelt on the ground, and trembled. Everything seemed to have gone back to three years ago. It was just that the people who were kneeling on the ground had changed.Hesper did not have the time and energy to waste on the two of them, so she only taught them a small lesson. Apart from that, Renfrew had not been found yet, so she was not in the mood for doing anything.Sure enough, Nathaniel found something really soon and called Hesper.“What? Renfrew went out by himself?”Hesper did not expect it to be like that, but Nathaniel sent a video to her almost instantly. As soon as she tapped on it, she saw that Renfrew was packing his backpack and had even changed into a decent suit and bow.Nathaniel chuckled softly on the phone. “He looks like a little gentleman, and he looks a

After five days of being in a coma, Rickard finally woke up.All inspections showed that Rickard’s condition was very stable. Benji could finally sit down and catch a breather.While Rickard was unconscious, he had to continue to run the company. Otherwise, if the news were to spread through the entire city or even the whole country, the company would crumble into pure chaos.“How is Hesper doing? Has she woken up?”The first thing that he did after opening his eyes was to ask about Hesper’s condition, which was within Benji’s expectations. So, he reported everything that had happened to Hesper over the past few days to Rickard.Knowing that Julie went to Hesper and made a huge fuss again, Rickard rubbed his eyebrows wearily and asked, “Where is she now?”Benji cleared his throat and remained silent.“What happened?”Facing Rickard’s suspicious gaze, Benji lowered his head and said truthfully, “Ms. Lane abducted Madam Duval from the hospital and sent someone to the Duvals’ resi

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
