A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 305
Hesper slept for a long time, and when she opened her eyes again, it was nightfall. She rubbed her arm, which had gone numb and turned around to see Renfrew staring at her. “Mommy, you’re awake!”“...Ren?” Hesper couldn’t believe her eyes and was stunned to see him. She thought that she was still dreaming. “Why are you here?”Renfrew tilted his head. “Daddy had some work to attend to and won’t be able to spend time with me for the next few days, so I came to see you!”Hesper still felt that this wasn’t real, but he had his usual bag with him and there was a little luggage at the other side of the room as if he packed his bags and came over. “Aren’t you glad?”Renfrew looked at her worriedly and looked sad as he thought about the idea that his dad came up with. He had to do so much just to get his parents’ attention. “Of course, I would love to have you around me all the time!” Hesper patted his head. “I have some work to finish up. Wait for me right here, and we’ll go hom

But since Renfrew was there, Hesper just went with it. After napping for a bit in the afternoon, she felt energetic. Even though the call with Seth that afternoon confused her, she knew she would find out the truth when the weekend came. She finished her work, and with one hand on the luggage and the other holding Renfrew, she was ready to leave the office. She immediately felt eyes on her the moment she walked out of the building, but when looked over, she couldn’t tell who was staring.“Mommy, all these people are acting weird,” Renfrew whispered, tugging at her shirt. “Why are they peeping? They did that when I came here…”“Really?” When she heard that, she understood. Her employees were silently observing them. Even though she never hid the fact that she had a child, this was the first time he was there, so everyone was probably curious. Especially because Renfrew was Rickard Duval’s son too. Even though she understood that everyone loved a bit of gossip, she still felt

He had a bad feeling. Renfrew’s room had always been cleaned so that it was ready whenever he came over. Hesper unpacked his luggage and thought that his little pajamas were so adorable. Even the tips Rickard left in the bag looked fine. Even though she had no idea when Renfrew would come over, she still bought ice cream and kept it in the fridge. She wasn’t a huge fan of ice cream because she found it too sweet, but now that Renfrew was there, he could have it all. “I love you, Mommy!”Renfrew jogged over with his box of ice cream and gave Hesper a kiss on the cheek. “Were you waiting for me to come back?”Hesper nodded. She felt happy when she saw how delighted he was. “You’re my baby and the little master of this house. Of course I’ll have something you love here.”“You’re the best, Mommy!” Renfrew suddenly remembered his dad and pouted. “Daddy is just second best.”Hesper couldn’t help but laugh. It was the winter holidays, so Renfrew didn’t have to go to school. Hesp

Hesper couldn’t hold in her laughter anymore. The employees weren’t useless. Everyone who was hired by the company had to work very hard to get where they were, the cream of the crop, yet Renfrew said they were dumb. “You need to be more understanding. They just think that you’re adorable.” Worrying that Renfrew would show his disdain toward them and hurt their feelings, Hesper decided to give him some advice. “You’re a mature child, so you need to understand.”Renfrew nodded and looked somewhere distant. “I will.”Meanwhile, the plane that flew the entire night over the ocean finally landed. Rickard didn’t take his private helicopter and just chose to travel like a normal traveler to avoid drawing too much attention to himself. Even though he didn’t know why the doctor suddenly stopped replying to him, if he missed this chance, there might not be another person who would be able to heal Hesper. “I’ve emailed the information about the area to you. I found out through my inves

Now that he finally had a clearer picture of how old ‘Hessy’ was, he looked at her in shock, then looked toward Renfrew. He looked as if the sky was falling. “Hessy has a kid!”“It’s Aunty Hesper…” Yohanna corrected him. To Renfrew, these two people were strangers, so he hid behind Hesper and sighed after hearing the conversation. Why did they keep bumping into weird people that day?Yohanna was a little embarrassed, but Hesper understood that Gabe had a little crush on her, which is why he said what he said. She shook her head with a smile. “Don’t worry, Gabe is very cute.”Gabriel finally accepted that ‘Hessy’ had a son around his age and he looked away— to Renfrew.“You’re Ren, right? You’re so adorable. Candy?”Renfrew wasn’t afraid of the child, so when he heard what Gabriel said, he walked forward and stretched out his hand but was quickly pulled back. “You’re so cute. Have you played—” Gabriel started talking a lot about games, but Renfrew had never played any games b

Hesper thought that when Gabriel offered candy, he would just be sharing a few with his friend, but he took a pile out and placed it in front of Renfrew. Renfrew was surprised, as he kept receiving candy and snacks that day. “Gabe…” Yohanna looked at him, amused. “Candy is your favorite, but it’s not the same for Ren. You’ll get cavities if you have too much.”“But these are my favorite things.” Gabriel shook his head. “You won’t understand, Mommy.”They two children went and played, leaving the adults in the living room. Yohanna spoke up when she saw that Hesper looked uneasy. “Relax. Just consider this as visiting a friend.”“Alright…” Yohanna poured a cup of tea for Hesper. “Even though I’m not really good at taking care of people, the chores, our food, and watching over Gabriel are all managed by Aunt Chapelain. I just keep the home tidy because I don’t have a lot to do.”There was a sudden knock on the door. “I think Aunt Chapelain is here.”Yohanna stood up, and He

The atmosphere in the living room was getting extremely intense, but noises came from the other room at that moment.Renfrew pushed open the door and looked a little panicked. “Gabriel seems to be feeling ill...”Although Hesper did not study medicine, she had become somewhat of an amateur doctor after suffering from a long list of illnesses over the years. When she had nothing much to do in the past, she had learned a thing or two about Halwanese medicine from her doctors. One could say that she knew things, but she was nowhere near proficient.As soon as she saw Gabriel, Hesper felt that the child might be suffering from a stomach ache.“See? What did I just say? Gabriel has fallen sick, hasn’t he?” Eloise came into the room, yelling loudly. “It’s not that I want to reprimand you, Yohanna, but you’re indeed way too soft as a person. From what I see, this kid and your neighbor are not well-meaning people, so you can’t just get close to anyone that you like!”She had shown some re

‘Needless to think, that woman must be up to something again.’Hesper was a little speechless. It was her first time paying her neighbor a visit, so she really didn’t want to showcase her unfriendly and prickly side, but Eloise had been challenging her limits over and over again.“Why isn’t there a smell yet?”“...There’s no smell?” Yohanna realized it slightly later than Hesper did. “Yeah... I don’t seem to smell any Halwanese medicine boiling.”The two went upstairs, and Yohanna led Hesper into the kitchen, only to see Eloise’s hectic silhouette. However, instead of boiling the medicinal herbs, she was busy chopping them up and then flushing them down the sink.Without any doubts, Hesper pushed the door open.Eloise turned her head immediately and stared at the two of them in a panic, still hiding a large handful of herbs in her hands.Hesper walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and lifted it. Feeling excruciating pain, Eloise dropped all the medicinal herbs in her hand and they

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1854
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
