A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 266
“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

‘Just how wicked and dumb can she be?’Seeing that the time was almost running out, Hesper did not have the time to catch up much with Michelle. She had to find Celine as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would be disqualified.“Step aside.”Michelle did not know why Hesper was so impatient, but the more anxious Hesper looked, the more she did not want to let Hesper have her way. Just as she was about to stop her again, Hesper stared past her and saw someone standing in the corridor behind her.“Celine.”Pulling her suitcase, Celine ran over from the corridor. When she saw the scene in front of her, she was confused about what was happening. “Yeah, sorry. I was a little late today. Something came up all of a sudden when I was leaving my place...”Michelle was completely ignored by Hesper and Celine. Standing there, she could not help but feel a little embarrassed. Not knowing what to say, she could only withdraw her hand and stand aside awkwardly, like a waitress who had come to t

Michelle was thinking that it was fine if she didn’t get help from her teammate because she could still advance on her own, but when they were picking the materials in the flower room, the girl started going against her. “I think… this flower isn’t great.”Michelle was done getting what she needed, but when she turned around, she saw her teammate pushing what she took away. “We can only pick fifteen items. You took too many…” The girl sounded timid but stubborn. “I haven’t gotten what I need.”Michelle scoffed. “Just use what I took, okay? What you took doesn’t fit my ideas, so I won’t be able to use them.”“No…” Hearing Michelle raise her voice, she sounded scared, but she still insisted. “This is a team competition and I’m part of the team.”They argued for some time and Michelle ended up not convincing the girl. They both took what they needed and picked the material for two different styles.“Poor Michelle. Her teammate is dragging her down. How is she supposed to design w

Five days flew past. Hesper and Celine made a gown that was inspired by the iris. The flowers were still beautiful with careful preservation. Hesper used silver thread to sew them onto the dress, which made it look beautiful and refreshing. “That’s so beautiful.” Celine was amazed when the flowers that she took care of for the past five days were used in the finished work. Maybe because Hesper came up with the idea, she felt that this design that they rushed through and worked on overnight looked better than the past work she had done. Since it had to be worn on the runway, the size was made according to the size of the model Lane Holdings provided. Once the model showed up, Hesper let her try it on and altered the dress to fit better. The model was from Yoshland and had a pair of beautiful blue eyes that matched the iris. They didn’t have an interpreter, but Hesper traveled for work a lot and was fluent in their language, so she was able to communicate with the model and t

“Mom, give me my phone.” Juniper frowned too as she held out her hand. “I’m not a child anymore. Are you going to take my phone away? You’re not respecting me.”Ariana stared at her, then shook her head. “If I respect you now, I’ll just be ruining you.”“Juni, I hope you don’t fall further. Hesper isn’t someone you should be offending. You’re planning something behind her back and think that you’re doing something, but other than feeling happy for ruining her, you won’t achieve anything else.”Ariana was a little disappointed. “Carter came to get you and I’ve thrown him out. I’ve never begged you before, but I’m doing that now. Break up with Carter.”Juniper didn’t understand. “Why should I? I love him. Why do you want to interfere? Are you my mother or Hesper’s? Why do you care about her more?”Juniper went all out because she felt that Ariana did her wrong. “I won’t break up with him. Hesper will pay for taking what was mine. I’ll find a way even if you won’t give me your supp

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
