A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 262
Back in Genecity, Rickard was rather anxious.After settling down some time ago, Rickard sent Renfrew back to kindergarten to continue his classes as per what Hesper wanted, but another problem emerged very soon.“Everyone’s parents will be there.”After all this while, Renfrew had become more courageous when facing Rickard. He was currently sitting on his little stool and complaining sternly. “Sports day is going to be held on the weekend, and mommy is participating in the competition and can’t be there with me. So, if you’re not going to attend the event either, no one will care about me.“If that’s the case, I’ll be so lonely and so sad, I’ll cry through the whole day and finally die of sadness.” Renfrew sighed. The statement indeed consisted of a handful of exaggerations, but Rickard could not help but feel a little helpless.‘It actually took a lot of hard work for Renfrew to be able to blend in with the other children in kindergarten like a normal child. Now that there’s suc

Yann was astonished for a moment then subconsciously persuaded her master. “Sir, the money that you’ll be spending won’t go into Ms. Hesper’s purse. Part of it will even be taken by the platform, so it isn’t worth it.”After saying so, she realized something.‘Ms. Hesper is now the president of Lane Holdings, so giving money to an event organized by Lane Holdings is equivalent to giving money to Ms. Hesper... And Mr. Duval Sr. has the wealth to make it happen! To him, the money that he’ll be spending is just a number.’Realizing this reality, Yann graciously helped Ernest bind his credit card to his account and then watched as Ernest spent his money as if he was lighting them on fire.Seeing Ernest throwing cold hard cash into the platform in the form of virtual currency, Yann only felt that the world of the wealthy was giving her a headache. Although she knew that Ernest was rich, she still could not help but try to stop him.‘Jesus Christ! Aren’t the Duvals and the Lanes competi

The first contestant to have her interview aired was Michelle.As the star participant in this competition, Michelle’s session was inserted in the most significant section of the series in order to gain popularity and attention. Hesper and Matthew had already talked about this very early on, even before the tournament started. Sure enough, the effect was also very significant.When it was Hesper’s turn, although it brought about a lot of discussions compared to other contestants, it was still slightly worse than Michelle’s. That was because Hesper’s interview was a little too dull.She replied to every question perfectly, so after watching the video, the only thing everyone remembered was Hesper’s face, which looked too beautiful to be true.At first, Hesper did not intend to use this interview session to show off. The only thing on her mind after the first round of the contest was that she finally had some time to get back to the company to discuss some affairs. However, after two

Seeing the comparison between his childish mommy and his daddy who had no footing in the family, Renfrew felt a little helpless, but at the same time, his heart was filled with joy.This was his first time participating in a parent-child activity with his parents. Although it seemed that his parents were not on good terms, it did not stop him from feeling exhilarated!When the other children saw Renfrew’s family, they were a little envious. After all, they were all kids. Some of them even ran over and told Renfrew that his parents look so beautiful!Hesper bent down and rubbed the heads of the other children. “Are you guys Renfrew’s classmates? You look very cute too.”Renfrew pulled the two of them and introduced Hesper and Rickard to the children in the kindergarten. Then the parents of the other party also greeted Hesper and Rickard with some surprised expressions.In order not to embarrass Renfrew, the two of them did not put on long faces. After all, neither of them were simp

“But Mommy, you’re so tall!” Renfrew blinked and then looked at Rickard. “If you were to go into the race with me, you’ll probably cause me to fall, won’t you? Then won’t I ruin this suit that Great-grandpa gave me...? Great-grandpa has always liked to see me in this little suit, so if I were to trip and fall...”“All right, all right.” Hesper interrupted him with a smile and glanced at Rickard in extreme embarrassment. “You little imp, don’t bring Great-grandpa into this.”Renfrew was proud of his achievement. “Then will you do what Great-grandpa wants?”“How would I dare to defy your great-grandpa?” Hesper rubbed Renfrew’s head, and then looked at Rickard. The two of them gazed at Rickard together. “I have no problem with what you want, but I don’t know if someone else will say no to that.”“Daddy...”Staring at Hesper’s indifferent gaze, Rickard helplessly took a glance at Renfrew, who had been winking at him, nodded, and agreed. “I’m fine with it.”Hence, the two adults’ legs

Recalling what his mommy had told him earlier, Renfrew instantly changed his lines. Besides dying, the scariest thing in the world would be not being able to eat delicious food...Rickard had never been very competent at coaxing children. He thought that if it was Hesper who ran into this situation, she would probably pat Renfrew on the head and utter the “touch wood” phrase, and the issue would end there.However, all he did was stay dumbfounded for a while before rubbing Renfrew’s collar.“Yeah, I understand. I won’t make Mommy sad anymore.”‘It seems that even a child knows that I caused Hesper a lot of suffering back then.’Rickard turned his head and looked at Hesper who was not far away from them. She had her head lowered as she unbuttoned the wrongly buttoned shirt of the kid sitting next to her, giving off a gentle smile.In fact, Hesper had never been someone who was very good at coaxing others either, but she had always been very patient when she was around children.A

Before the two of them had the time to finish their conversation, Renfrew and his classmates had been disbanded by Ms. Zeelen. All of them went back to their respective parents and went home.Under the vast sunset, three extended shadows overlapped with the shadows of the camphor trees on both sides of the street.Hesper raised her head thoughtfully. Renfrew walked next to her, talking to Rickard about his life at the kindergarten. The warm sunlight shined on her face, and it looked as if it was coated with a layer of gold paint.It felt like everything that happened back then had been completely erased by time.When Hesper got home, Matthew was sitting in the living room. When he saw Hesper arriving, he cleared his throat twice lightly.“Matt?” Hesper was surprised and took a glance at the time.‘At this time, Matt would usually either be in the study or at the company. Why has he gone out of character and sat here waiting for me today...? Please don’t tell me that he’s here bec

“But why is our gorgeous lady always so cold? She didn’t say much at all during the personal interview compilation.”“Perhaps she pays more attention to her own privacy. I feel that Hesper doesn’t like to reveal her private life very much.”“Maybe she’s afraid of killing her own character setting by saying sh*t that she shouldn’t be saying? Peeps, this is all scripted. Please don’t tell me that you really believe in her character setting.”“...”Hesper did not know what was being said in the comment section. As soon as she returned to room 345, which was rather familiar to her, she put her luggage away and discovered that the small garden downstairs had been reconstructed at some point.Originally, there was a glass flower shed below and she could see the scenery inside through the glass roof before, but now it was now completely covered for some reason, so even if she was living stories above ground, she could not see the inside of the flower shed.‘If nothing else, something mu

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
