Camille continued to search for a trapdoor, and while she didn't understand why Hesper asked, she nodded in agreement. "I think so. It doesn't look like it was prepared for a baby boy."Hesper glanced around and remarked, "The swaddles, larger clothes, toys, and everything else seem to have been acquired after the gender was confirmed.""Even if Charles had his men frantically purchase all these items, there are so many. I doubt they could have done it in such a short time. The last time we saw him wasn't too long ago. I'm quite certain he didn't have a child back then."The time difference seemed to raise questions.While they both pondered in silence, a tapping noise emanated from the room. A shiver ran down Camille's spine, and she grabbed Hesper's sleeve. "Could this place be haunted? I'm getting scared."Connecting all the pieces was eerie, but now there was an inexplicable noise?Hesper frowned but remained unafraid. She tilted her ear to listen carefully and then remarked,

This was the reason why all the furniture corners had been rounded. Hesper realized it wasn't to prevent this woman from taking her own life but rather to protect the baby."What do you mean he chose you to be the bearer of his child?"The woman was clearly anxious but managed to articulate her thoughts. Hesper empathized with the feeling of being locked up and acknowledged that the woman was holding up remarkably well under these circumstances.That's why Hesper gave her the time she needed, even though the woman was clearly frightened."There's nothing exceptional about me. I'm just a math teacher. I had no connection to Charl— it's Charles, right? But I have panda blood."Panda blood?Hesper was familiar with the term. It referred to the rare Rh-negative blood type, which was no different from regular blood unless an injury occurred."I've led a cautious life. To safeguard myself in case of any emergencies, I used to donate blood regularly, but nothing unusual happened for ov

She knew because she had used one before.Yes, it was a tracker that was extremely difficult to detect when implanted in a person. Hesper had experimented with it once out of concern for possible risks, which is why she had it on hand.It turned out to be the perfect item to entrust to the woman.Charles would undoubtedly try to relocate the woman, making her even harder to find. However, the presence of the tracker would change the dynamics of the situation."Don't worry; we'll come back for you." Hesper reassuringly patted the woman's shoulder. She then signaled to Camille, and they quickly restored the latch to its original position in the baby room before making their escape through the window.Camille's heart raced as she watched Hesper effortlessly jump out. "You're pregnant. Please be careful."Hesper acknowledged the concern, though she believed she hadn't yet reached her physical limits. A small platform awaited her below for a safe landing. Still, Camille's reminder res

Fortunately, even though they couldn't rely on Camille's network, Sundial Corp could still provide them with some support for the time being, but it was clear that their network wouldn't match Charles'.Now that Charles was aware of their presence, the manner in which they conducted their investigation, be it discreetly or openly, didn't hold much significance. It all hinged on who currently held the upper hand.Benji had been occupied in the past few days, and Hesper wasn't faring much better. Together with Rickard, she combed through missing persons reports from the past few years.However, all information pertaining to the woman seemed to have been systematically eradicated, a tactic Hesper understood well. Charles wouldn't have left behind such an obvious clue, regardless of his audacity. He controlled every aspect of information.This explained why he hadn't reacted hastily to their intrusion, and the surveillance team hadn't observed any unusual activity.Hesper doubted that

Camille recognized that it was unnecessary to engage with someone like Ermione, a mere pawn with little value, who wasn't worth her attention."Now, isn't there someone more significant to hold accountable?" Hesper inquired, lacing her words with sarcasm.Hearing Hesper's words, Camille immediately grasped the intention behind them and redirected her gaze towards the elderly butler, Adrian, who stood at the sidelines.Adrian's eyes welled up with an expression of confusion, as he couldn't comprehend why just one brief statement had prompted both women to turn their attention in his direction.His mind raced as he staggered toward Camille and seized her hand. "Ms. Camille, you've finally returned!"Observing Adrian's demeanor, one could almost believe in the close master-servant relationship between them, particularly since he had been entrusted with the decoration of the apartment.However, betrayal, once uncovered, deserved no mercy in Camille's eyes.Facing the elderly man sta

One after another, her decisions and actions blatantly disregarded the future of the Moreau family. Adrian couldn't help but be gripped by fear. At his age, if something were to happen to Camille one day, what would he do? Thus, he had no choice but to seek alternative allies for himself.Camille's trust afforded him numerous opportunities and advantages in his position.Hesper, having experienced betrayal herself, could empathize with the mix of incredulity and sadness Camille must have been feeling. Adrian had been with Camille for the longest time, a mutual reliance that had brought them to where they were today. So why had he suddenly chosen to part ways?How had it come to this point?However, Camille had to come to terms with the reality. After all, the person who had been her companion through a significant portion of her life was now lost forever.Camille closed her eyes, sighed, and uttered, "All creatures strive for survival. I should understand this truth very well. How

As soon as the red dot came to a halt, the group sprang into action. According to their agreement, Hesper remained in the car. Not causing any additional trouble was her primary contribution to this operation."Please come back safely," Hesper said, gazing into Rickard's eyes.Rickard nodded confidently. "Don't worry."Hesper knew that Rickard would prioritize safety, especially with a sizable group accompanying him this time. With the advanced weaponry provided by the Moreaus, Charles stood little chance.Additionally, for the safety of their unborn child, Charles would likely avoid confrontation, making their mission relatively straightforward.Hesper sat in the car and observed as everyone disembarked. A small group stayed behind to protect her. Despite her unease, Hesper hoped that nothing unexpected would occur during the operation."Ma'am, please try not to worry too much. Even if things don't go as planned, returning safely is a high likelihood," reassured Dylan, the team
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1804
Although he couldn't comprehend Hesper's reasoning, Dylan nodded and led his team toward the group.These were all Camille's elite bodyguards, the best of the best. Dealing with a few men stealthily was a walk in the park for them. In roughly five or six minutes, they returned with the woman in tow.However, Dylan remained somewhat perplexed.'Won't this still hinder the other party from retrieving the lady? Isn't this essentially what Ma'am just suggested?'Yet, once Dylan got into the car, he was taken aback. The person sitting there, who had been Hesper earlier, now looked precisely like the woman they had just rescued. If not for Hesper's attire remaining the same and their prior knowledge of her unique ability, he would have been utterly baffled.Gauging the expressions of those around her, Hesper could tell that the impromptu disguise she had fashioned lacked any glaring flaws.Turning to the woman, Hesper noticed the shock on her face. Clearly, she hadn't anticipated findi

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
