A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1845
Based on Hesper's habit of being strong-willed, everyone rejected this viewpoint. As the time for Hesper's delivery approached, she quietly stayed at home, with everything she wanted being brought to her without asking. It was quite different from the last time when she gave birth to Renfrew.However, after so many experiences, Hesper had long stopped caring about the past. Having gone through life and death together, she just wanted to grasp what she desired and hold onto the people she loved.*Similar to when she was pregnant with Renfrew, the second child remained calm and hardly caused any trouble. She was born naturally, and it was a girl. When Hesper saw the wrinkled face of the newborn, she furrowed her brows, momentarily questioning how her child could look like this."It's a girl. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Duval."On the day of the delivery, Renfrew did not follow them. When he later saw his sister, Renarie Rivera, she had already been placed in the incubator. She no

The director was momentarily stunned. He initially hoped it might be Hesper who answered the door. However, that small fantasy was quickly shattered when faced with Rickard's expressionless face.After calming himself down, the director awkwardly smiled and said, "Mr. Duval, we had scheduled to install the cameras today. You remember, right?"Rickard nodded, his gaze fixed on the director. Soon, Hesper's voice came from behind. "Stop scaring him. I'm here."Hearing Hesper's voice seemed like a lifesaver to the director. He looked at Hesper, who had suddenly appeared, with gratitude and said, "Mrs. Duval, did our visit disturb you?"Seeing the director's demeanor, Hesper could tell that Rickard might have startled him earlier. Otherwise, his face would not have been so pale. Witnessing this, Hesper felt somewhat helpless and glanced at Rickard.Hesper knew that the director had probably conjured up all sorts of chaotic emotions in his mind when Rickard looked at him. It was not ent

Hesper was not worried about the director and his crews as she knew they understood what they should not be capturing. After all, it was an official arrangement, so it would not cross any lines.Despite this assurance, Wendy still instructed her team to check everything thoroughly. After all that had happened before, even though Sullivan and the others were no longer around, Wendy was still concerned about potential accidents. The director knew that such an action was necessary. After all, they had done their homework well and knew precisely what Hesper and Rickard had been up to before coming here.With everything checked, they started the filming.*One afternoon, many people noticed a sudden entry on the news hotlist that claimed the top spot. On the surface, the four words "Seven Days Daily" seemed like an unremarkable title for a small variety show that usually goes unnoticed. However, it skyrocketed to the number one spot instantly.Initially, everyone was curious about it

When everyone entered the live broadcast session, they expected some surprises from the couple. However, they witnessed both individuals immersed in their work for half a day without looking up. Despite this, their enthusiasm remained high. Some speculated that, given their status, they could not possibly be like this in their usual lives. There must be many people helping them with tasks.However, some individuals came forward to refute these claims.[Well, not true. I'm an employee at the Duval Group. Before that incident, Mr. Duval always arrived at the office early and even stayed overtime with us.][I mean, who at Lane Holdings wouldn't appreciate Ms. Lane? She handled everything in the company in an organized manner.][Why do some people think others are only excellent because they were born into a good family? Don't be so bitter.]Reading these diverse comments, those sarcastic remarks slowly disappeared. As it was an official livestream, many individuals dissatisfied wit

The earlier she finished her job, the more free time Hesper had. After all, both kids were sent away for the recording, creating a rare moment of solitude for the couple.[I've been watching the camera from Rickard's side just now, who knows…][Ah, what happened? Wasn't Rickard working just now?][Not exactly…]Rickard said, "Since work is done, let's go downstairs and have lunch."Hearing this, Hesper raised an eyebrow. She looked at Rickard with a teasing smile and said, "Did you make chicken soup for me?"Hesper did not have many issues during her pregnancy, but her appetite was often unpredictable. She could barely swallow many of her favorite foods, and she sometimes even had to force herself to eat. However, she would vomit them later. Therefore, Rickard tried making various dishes for her. Ultimately, he found that only chicken soup could ease Hesper's stomach.Rickard was not very skilled at cooking. After all, Rickard did not need to do things himself in the past. Howev

In the past, Hesper did not have the time or energy to watch movies. Even if there were something she wanted to watch, she would watch it at home. The times she went to the cinema were few and far between, as it seemed like a waste of time.Previously, it felt like a pair of hands was pushing them forward relentlessly. So, regardless of the circumstances, Hesper had to focus on the tasks at hand, not daring to take a moment's rest. Standing in front of the cinema, Hesper hesitated as she looked at the movie posters. The celebrities displayed on them were all unfamiliar to her. The camera discreetly followed Hesper and Rickard. Everything Hesper and Rickard did in these seven days would be faithfully recorded on camera.Their biggest interaction with the entertainment industry was the reality show they reluctantly participated in with Zenovia. Turning her head, Hesper saw that Rickard had already walked to the self-service ticket machine and taken the tickets.Seeing the confusion

Benji had arranged for a horror film screening, hoping to create an opportunity for Hesper to leap into Rickard's arms in fear when the ghost appeared. Could this simple act improve their relationship?However, things didn't go as planned. Neither Hesper nor Rickard reacted in the expected way. As the ghost materialized on screen, everyone in the audience jumped in their seats, for this was undeniably one of the best horror films in years. The makeup and costumes were impeccable, but Hesper and Rickard remained firmly seated, seemingly oblivious to the apparition.Hesper busied herself with popcorn, munching on one piece after another. Occasionally, she'd wear a displeased expression, especially when a piece lacked sufficient caramel coating. She'd quickly chew it before swallowing.[In my observation, Hesper's most significant reaction was a frown due to the popcorn not being sweet enough.][If I hadn't watched it just yesterday and avoided mirrors afterward, I'd think this was a

Individuals like Hesper and Rickard possessed an innate ability to grasp what the audience desired once they understood the rules. Consequently, it was effortless for them to convey precisely what they intended. They were, after all, ordinary people.The first day of the live show unfolded smoothly. Hesper and Rickard skillfully guided their interactions to incite speculation and discussion among online viewers.Hesper felt a sense of relief observing this.Benji, who had been watching the show, came to realize that his initial plan had not panned out as expected. Consequently, a twinge of guilt crept in when he saw Hesper."It's acceptable as long as the feedback remains positive."Hesper didn't take much issue with it. She recognized that Benji had faced numerous challenges and tests to stand by their side. She wasn't inclined to blame him for something relatively insignificant."Also, one more thing."Benji turned to Rickard with a hesitant look, as if he wished to engage in

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
