A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 270
‘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

“I’m sorry, I’ve said too much.” Ariana looked back at Hesper. “I invited you here to apologize on behalf of Juni. As a bystander, I know that what she did to you caused you a lot of pain.”“There’s no need. No one else should apologize for what she did.” Hesper never had much interaction with Ariana in the past, but when someone older apologized to her, Hesper felt uneasy. “What Juniper did won’t be forgiven because of a simple sentence. You’re her mother, and I’m a mother too. I can understand how you feel, but I won’t forgive her. People need to pay for what they did. We’re all adults after all, don’t you agree?”Ariana knew that begging Hesper wouldn’t work after hearing what she said, but she knew that if Juniper continued doing what she was doing, she would one day make a mistake so big she wouldn’t be able to turn back. “Ms. Rivera… can we come up with an agreement?”Hesper was trying to excuse herself, but when she heard that, she decided to listen. “Go on.”Ariana sigh

“Alright.” After saying goodbye, Hesper went to her office and finished her work. On the way up, she bumped into Matthew, who was on the way down with some staff. “Matt?” She walked in when the elevator doors opened but didn’t expect to bump into him. Matthew nodded and when the other staff saw them standing together, so they left to continue work. The two bosses were usually friendly, but when it came to working, they never let their relationship get in the way. They were pretty scary when they were serious. Matthew looked at her and knew that what she went out for probably went well, so he didn’t ask questions. “Have you eaten? I just finished with work and am now heading out for some food.”Hesper nodded. “Not yet. Let’s go.”The people who were observing the two bosses watched as they walked out of the building and gave a sigh of relief, then started chatting in their groups. Employee A: I think Mr. and Ms. Lane do have a good relationship. It doesn’t seem like th

Hesper was quite familiar with the places around the office because they would order food delivery when they had to work overtime. She knew which shop Matthew would enjoy, so she brought him there.“Our stats are higher than the Duvals for this season, but I don’t really understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.”Matthew was the one managing the company recently. Hesper looked at the numbers and didn’t really understand the Duvals’ plan, so she looked at Matthew intently. “These few days… We should eat well.”Matthew flicked her forehead. “There’s nothing in there other than work.”“Ouch.” Hesper rubbed her forehead. “I’m working hard for the company yet you flicked my head. You’re paying for lunch.”Matthew chuckled as Hesper looked up, and they both started laughing. “Where did you go this morning? You looked concerned when you got home yesterday. Is it about Rickard?” Hesper thought about it, then said, “Somewhat, but not really. Juniper’s mother wanted to see me a

Hesper quickened her steps to hold his hand. “Are you cold?”“Not at all!” Renfrew shook his head and was a little excited. “It’s my first time seeing snow. Even though it’s a bit chilly, it looks so pretty!”Hesper never paid attention to Genecity in the past few years. She did a quick calculation and realized that it really didn’t snow in the past few years, so it made sense that he hadn’t seen snow before. Rickard just parked the car and saw Hesper holding Renfrew’s hand, hopping around trying to catch the snowflakes. “This is a hexagon!” Renfrew shouted. Hesper looked over and saw him holding a hexagon-shaped snowflake. It was pretty and clear. Unfortunately, the snowflake melted in the next second because of their hot breath. “Oh no, it melted.”Hesper patted his head. “There’ll be more.”Rickard walked over. Hesper didn’t have a hat on and her hair was covered in snow. He walked over and brushed it off. “Daddy!” Hesper turned around and saw Rickard with his arm ra

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
