A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 225
As soon as Hesper said these words, Jessie was the first to burst into laughter. The others who were just watching the drama for fun and did not know that Michelle and Hesper had never once sat well together also started laughing.Michelle felt a little embarrassed. “I only want to know more about you.”Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Michelle turned around quickly, trying to get herself out of this mortifying situation. “Is there someone else who’s coming? I’ll open the door!”Hesper lowered her head and continued to enjoy the fish, but she then heard a familiar voice. “Excuse me, is Hesper Rivera here?”Hesper, at a loss for words, was frozen in her seat. She raised her head in doubt and saw Nathaniel enter the private room. Her gaze was full of doubts and confusion. “Why are you here?”Nathaniel walked in with a slight smirk on the corners of his lips. “I just arrived in Genecity today, and I’m working nearby. I happened to see your car downstai

After the interlude, the meal got carried to the end by Nathaniel’s exquisite social skills. The moment Hesper saw Nathaniel, she knew that she would not have to talk anymore tonight.That was Nathaniel in a nutshell. He might seem to be a soft pushover on the surface, but his ability to look after a family as huge as the Tuckers was absolutely inseparable from his exceptional observation skills and eloquence.The group of people went out, and Jessie could not help but stare at Nathaniel, fangirling over the way he carried himself throughout the whole meal.“Why did you come here out of the blue? And don’t you feel tired after bluffing to so many people?” Hesper returned the suit jacket to Nathaniel. “Let me guess, Renee and Isaac must’ve told you something.”“Bingo.” The corners of Nathaniel’s lips curled slightly upward. “But it’s true that I passed by your car downstairs and Matthew did give that reminder, so you should keep this coat for now. You can return it to me when we see

“Rumors had it that Hesper quit school to have a baby, right? So what’s up with the fiancé?”Lucy did not listen to what Michelle said and was still thinking about where she had seen Nathaniel. That man gave her a very strange feeling. She thought about all the young masters of the local big families, but she still could not figure out Nathaniel’s identity.“Lulu, Lulu?” Michelle called Lucy several times in a row after seeing that she was in a daze.Lucy came back to her senses and gave off a rather embarrassed smile. “I’m sorry, but there’s something that I have to look into. I’ll get off here now.”Before Michelle could say anything, Lucy asked the driver to stop, and then got out of the car by herself.Seeing Lucy leave, Michelle rolled her eyes.‘If it wasn’t for her rich family, I wouldn’t even bother to be around her. Every time she sees me, she just has to persuade me into doing this and not doing that. She really regards herself as someone of great significance!’Her ph

Going to the hospital was troublesome and it would take a lot of time. Hesper still had a lot of things to do, so she must not waste time on a trip to the hospital.Isaac looked at Hesper’s flushed cheeks from the side and felt that it was not a big deal to do it her way.‘Renee always listens to Hesper. And since Hesper said she doesn’t want to go to the hospital, Renee would definitely do as told and bring her home...’“No, I don’t agree.” Renee’s expression turned a little cold. “The flu always gets very serious during the change of seasons, so you can’t just go home and take medicine. I’ll find a family doctor for you. If the fever still doesn’t subside by midnight, we’re going to the hospital.”“Renee...”Hesper felt helpless, but when Renee stood firm, she would become a woman that not everybody could easily persuade. Apart from that, Hesper clearly knew that Renee and Isaac were only doing so for her own good, so it would be a little too disrespectful if she were to say som

“Ms. Lane, you’re awake!” Renee was surprised when she came into the ward with warm water.“What time is it?” Hesper asked with a hoarse voice.Renee opened the curtains, and the bright gold sunlight instantly poured into the entire ward.“It’s past four already. You’ve been asleep for a long time.”Hesper did not expect that she would be unconscious for such a long time, and her dry throat barely felt better after taking a sip of the warm water that Renee handed over to her.“When you were out cold, Mr. Duval already took over the land.” Renee lowered her head and said, “I don’t know if they obtained some news and were able to push the bidding time for the land forward while you were unconscious.”When Renee brought this piece of land up before, Hesper felt that Rickard should have a plan for it. Otherwise, he would not have revealed all the news so early on.“There’s more. The doctor explained that you don’t only have a normal flu but that you ate something by mistake. The IV

On the other end of the region, Juniper, who had been living her life to the fullest for a while, was trying on the accessories and bags that she had just bought from the boutiques in front of the mirror. Carter was willing to splurge money on her, so she had been going into shops and buying everything that she wanted. All of the gifts would be sent directly to the Wight Manor.Ariana walked into the room, saw her daughter who looked very different from before, and felt even more uneasy deep down.“Juni, why have you been buying so many things recently? I know you don’t have much money in your accounts, so how did you get your hands on all these things?”‘The first thing she does is question me...’Juniper was a little impatient, put down the items in her hand, and grabbed Ariana’s hand. “Didn’t you tell me to give up on Rickard? I listened to your advice. I’ve accepted Carter’s pursuit and I’m now his girlfriend. These things are all presents from him.”Everybody in Genecity knew

Rickard and Hesper looked at each other in silence, but Hesper won. Rickard couldn’t stand seeing her cold gaze, so he turned and left. ***“I don’t think Rickard did this.” Hesper finally spoke after a long time with an unusual calmness. “I know him. He’s not someone who would stoop so low. Find out if there were other suspicious people.”“Alright,” Renee replied. Hesper turned on her laptop and looked at the share prices that had kept stable, then couldn’t help but sigh. ‘Renfrew, when can I finally bring you home?’Hesper missed her child, and he missed her too. Renfrew wouldn’t have felt sad if he never experienced the joy of having his mother around. There was a saying, ‘I could walk through all darkness in life if I never met my mother—’The poet Renfrew sighed at the setting sun and was ready to go back to his room with homework in hand. The homework that Ms. Myriade gave him recently had gotten more difficult. Julie and Sophia kept bothering him in the room. He c

Renfrew shook his feet as he sat on the bed. Rickard moved a chair over and sat across him. “Alright, tell me. Who helped you?”Rickard watched the surveillance that was tampered with previously and it was done so well that there were no traces left. The tech team at Duval Group wasn’t a bunch of free-loaders, but they still couldn’t break the code. It wasn’t because they were terrible but the person who did it was very careful. Rickard suddenly realized that he never knew who Renfrew was in touch with. This person who had been helping him must have some ulterior motive… Being questioned was something Renfrew would inevitably face since he was born into the Duval family. “I won’t tell you. It’s a secret between us.” Renfrew was stubborn. “She wouldn’t lie to me.”Renfrew was rarely so stubborn and would never hide anything from him. However, Rickard suddenly realized that maybe this person had been in Renfrew’s life for a long time but he just never noticed. It was due to his

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
