A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1805
"Taking this lady away with us is like holding Charles's weakness in the center of our palms. Especially when the person we're exchanging is me, Hesper." Despite harboring doubts about their chances of success, Hesper spoke with unwavering conviction. "Even if Charles discovers that it's me, he won't lay a hand on me."The guards were uncertain about the veracity of Hesper's claims, but for now, they had no choice but to follow her lead.The woman understood that Hesper intended to trade herself for her freedom. While such a move would undoubtedly benefit her, she couldn't help but tear up. After all, she could discern that Hesper was also pregnant, and leaving now might expose her to danger.Time was of the essence, with no room for careful consideration. If too much time elapsed, the other party would undoubtedly grow suspicious, so Hesper had to reach the rendezvous point within a reasonable timeframe.Some of the guards swiftly exited the car with Hesper, while the rest remaine

She should have grown accustomed to such situations over the years. Thus, Hesper closed her eyes and feigned slumber, appearing to have drifted off. In reality, she constantly reminded herself not to succumb to sleep. Staying alert was imperative for her safety....On the other side, when Rickard discovered that the person they were searching for had been preemptively moved, he wasn't particularly surprised. After all, if dealing with Charles was that straightforward, he wouldn't be the cunning strategist he was known to be.Camille, too, understood this reality. However, upon retreating, she learned that Hesper had substituted herself for Antoinette.Camille instinctively turned her head to glance at Rickard. Although his expression remained impassive, the simmering fury within him was palpable."Um..." Camille cleared her throat and began, "Hesper must have deliberated it carefully, and there's still room for a change in plans now... Charles wouldn't harm Hesper, would he?"Ri

Without a clear sense of the elapsed time, Hesper estimated that over an hour had passed. Even if they had been driving in circles around Antellon, they should have covered a significant distance by now. However, Hesper didn't believe they were merely driving aimlessly.'We must have left Antellon by now. Charles intends to take Antoinette to another city,' Hesper thought, feeling more alert. She was relieved that she had taken the initiative to come. Otherwise, with so many cities around Antellon, determining their exact location would have been impossible once Antoinette had been moved.Searching through each city one by one would have consumed considerable time, extending beyond just a day or two.After roughly thirty minutes, the car finally came to a halt. Several small towns surrounded Antellon, making it difficult for Hesper to pinpoint their location. However, since the tracker had not been detected, and they had chosen to stop, Rickard and the others would undoubtedly be ab

Charles gazed at Hesper for a moment, and for a brief instant, Hesper felt like she had exposed some kind of flaw. However, in the next second, Charles smiled and said, "Ms. Antoinette, I hope you'll still consider cooperating."Upon hearing Charles's words, Hesper breathed a small sigh of relief. "I'm quite tired today. I'll think about it tomorrow."Hesper harbored suspicions that Charles might have detected something amiss but opted not to reveal it now. Charles was not easily deceived, after all.By refusing the examination now, it was clear that something was awry. However, Charles lacked concrete evidence and exercised caution, refraining from taking immediate action. Furthermore, he likely had his suspicions, and if he did, he must be aware that the person now standing before him was indeed her.This explained why Charles didn't press the matter further.Because of this, Hesper was granted the opportunity to stay overnight."Alright, since Ms. Antoinette prefers not to und

Rickard and the others followed the tracker's location, but as soon as they entered the city, the marker vanished. From a certain perspective, the disappearance of the tracker's signal on Hesper's body signaled her exposure.Tension rippled through the group, but Camille took a deep breath and speculated, "Charles probably won't harm Hesper. We can't act recklessly now."A subtle undercurrent of emotion flickered in Rickard's eyes as he responded, "I've dispatched my men to search for Hesper's whereabouts. We'll comb through everything along the path we're heading."Upon hearing Rickard's words, Camille nodded, impressed by how composed he appeared. Had she not spent considerable time with him, she might have believed that Rickard was behaving entirely normally.In reality, however, veins throbbed on Rickard's forehead and temples. He was suppressing his emotions because only through this self-control could he focus on locating Hesper.The longer they took, the more perilous the

Antoinette hadn't accompanied them, but Rickard's words gave Sonny pause. After all, going with him now could disrupt many of their plans, and it wouldn't be so easy then.What if Rickard seized this opportunity..."Hesper is my wife. I won't leave her behind," Rickard added.Hearing Rickard's words, Sonny understood. Hesper held a special place in Rickard's heart, and anyone aware of their relationship would never doubt his commitment.However, their greatest advantage rested solely with Hesper, and they couldn't afford to gamble and lose this advantage.Sonny glanced at Rickard nervously. Rickard's expression remained stoic, but his determination was evident. To him, Hesper held more value than anything else.Antoinette was a mere pawn in their game, while Hesper couldn't be further than that for Rickard.With these thoughts in mind, Sonny finally relented, although he didn't agree to the exchange outright. These decisions weren't solely his to make. He smiled and said, "Mr. D

She hoped Hesper had some tricks up her sleeve. However, upon reflection, it seemed unlikely. After all, Hesper decided in haste and could not reach them.*Meanwhile, Hesper's situation was better than imagined. Her identity had been discovered, so naturally, no one would disturb her. Charles had other matters to attend to, and Hesper was undisturbed, but she understood it was only because she obediently stayed in her room.If she tried to escape, the people lurking outside would seize her immediately. They would not allow her any chance to leave. Therefore, Hesper did not explore other options and quietly observed everything around her.There was not much security in there. Although Antoinette was hard to manipulate, she was just an ordinary woman. Besides, she was formerly a teacher with no particular skills and carrying a child.Hesper was different. Though she had to consider the child in her womb, she did not see herself as particularly fragile. Even after becoming pregnant,

She assumed they were planning something, which explained the lack of people on this side. Hesper had observed this pattern numerous times, so her assessment seemed accurate.While she waited for the people from the rescue team to arrive, the chances of a successful escape would significantly increase.The man scrutinized Hesper, his brow furrowed. Hesper didn't strike him as someone who would easily give up. However, she was now in their custody, with theoretically no way to fight back.Even if Hesper possessed extraordinary abilities, she was alone, not to mention she was pregnant. Her only potential means of escape would be scaling the wall, but was that even possible?As the man immersed himself in thought, a knock at the door startled him. Hesper arched an eyebrow in slight surprise.The man turned his head, wondering who could be coming at this time. Nevertheless, he cautiously opened the door. In the next instant, he found himself pressed against the wall, his arms immobili

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
