A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 371
During the second half, after an introduction by Arthur, Hesper met everyone from her generation from the other families. Based on what he said, she gleaned that she could pick anyone from that group; they'd marry her to anyone of her choice.That stunned Hesper and she distanced herself from Arthur's eyes. Renfrew called her that evening and said that he learned a lot from the new teacher. He ate his food and missed her a little. The snow outside did not stop falling. Hesper listened to him and sighed. It would be the new year in two days. She didn't get to spend it with Renfrew on the first year that they reunited, but she had to sacrifice times like that to make sure that he was able to grow up safe. "Don't worry, Mommy. I'll be a good boy and wait for you to come home."Hesper said alright, took a deep breath, and pretended to be relaxed. "It's getting late. Time for bed. I'll be home soon.""Okay, Mommy. I believe you."After hanging up, Hesper stood in front of the wi

This also meant that they would soon discover that she had traced their IP. It would be too difficult to catch someone based on the address that was all the way on the other side of the ocean, so Hesper didn't plan to catch them with this trick. She just wanted to taunt them and show them that she wasn't predictable. Since she was in the light and they were in the dark, all they could do was play little games.That being said, Hesper still sent someone to the location to see if they could find any valuable clues. ***There was a lot to prepare for the new year countdown at the Lane household. Arthur loved to be surrounded by people. Maybe he wished that he had his family around him at his age, so Matthew was back early. Hesper had been busy with all kinds of work previously, so now that she had some free time, she didn't know what to do. She went to the kitchen to learn how to cook. Everyone knew that Hesper was a good cook, but there were a lot of dishes from Emperion that

The person outside the wall didn't speak, but Hesper had her answer. "Aren't you going to speak, Rickard?"Rickard wasn't surprised that Hesper knew it was him, but he still kept quiet and leaned down to light up another one. It went off outside the wall and Hesper looked up in silence. "Happy new year, Hepser."Hesper didn't reply but Rickard didn't speak after a long time because he had left. Only Hesper was there with a floor full of firework debris, evidence of the firework show that was for one person. "...Happy new year."Hesper only had a sweater on. The cold wind blew and she looked down while blinking her dry red eyes. "Happy new year."***There was a rule that fireworks were banned in Genecity. The new year was always lively, but if fireworks were banned, there was nothing to look forward to. Hesper left the orphanage a long time ago, so all she remembered about the place was that the rich families would donate some to them. She had only just gone to stay wit

She had a crush on him for over a decade. Hesper came back to the present and smiled at herself. She always thought that she found some sort of evidence of his feelings for her, so she was willing to give everything up for that illusion. "Hesper, what are you doing out here in the cold?"Hesper turned around and saw Helen walking over. She put a jacket on her. "I saw that you disappeared after dinner so I came over to take a look."Helen saw the debris on the floor but didn't comment on it and instead said, "It's too cold outside. You're going to be sick for a long time if you catch a cold. Come inside, I'll get the cook to make some soup for you.""...Thanks."Even though Hesper didn't think Helen was sincerely nice to her, she didn't want to reject her offer, so she went in with her. Matthew could tell that something was wrong with her and walked over while Helen went to the kitchen. "What's going on?"Hesper knew that she couldn't hide anything from him, so she came cle

On new year's day, Hesper got ready to return to Genecity. After drinking the soup and resting, Hesper didn't catch a cold and was energetic the next day. Hesper had originally wanted to find out more about Shawn when she went back to Emperion and also cancel her wedding agreement. However, now it seemed that she had to take a trip back to the orphanage to find out more about Shawn. As for the wedding agreement… It seemed less like a lock and more like something she could use to avoid questions. Realizing that, she suddenly felt helpless. She had to admit that the agreement was a good shield. However, to ensure that Nathaniel understood how she felt about their relationship, she said a lot of things to make it very clear. If they were to continue their current relationship, she had to find time to talk to him. That afternoon, Hesper arrived at Genecity. Most people were on holiday, so Hesper didn't work and instead went to the hospital to see Roberto. "Happy new year."

"If you need help in the future, talk to me. I'm your mentor." Roberto placed his hand on her shoulder. "I hope that we'll meet again soon."Hesper smiled and her dimples showed. "I hope that you'll find out the truth of what happened soon too and reunite with your daughter."***On the way back, Hesper suddenly received an invitation to join a group chat. She frowned but clicked on it. The number was her private account that only a few colleagues had. Since she was feared in the office, even the employees who had her number wouldn't text her. Did they all see things differently in the new year?Hesper accepted the invitation. Employee A: Someone new joined. Did we get a new recruit?Hesper looked at the name of the group: 'Tear down the capitalists'. She frowned in silence. The group chat was busy, possibly because it was a holiday. Hesper had a good memory and saw that a few numbers belonged to employees at Lane Holdings. No one replied to the message about the new re

Isaac sounded guilty. "Did you see everything in the group chat?""I'm not blind." Hepser stifled a laugh and sounded cool. "Reading about gossip, Mr. Lennon? You must feel nice every day.""...I'm sorry!"Hesper chuckled. "Alright, am I that petty? The group sounds interesting. I'm going to leave for now. Do you get what I mean?""I won't expose you!""Good." Hesper chuckled, then asked, "Where were you counting down? Do you want to grab dinner?"Isaac was an orphan who grew up in Emperion with Matthew. The new year was nothing special to him. He would just spend the holiday in his apartment. Hearing that, Isaac was a little embarrassed. "I shouldn't be bothering you on new year's day.""I'm just at home too. You can come over and make the place more lively," Hesper said. "I'll call Renee after this and ask if she wants to come over too."Isaac agreed, so Hesper called Renee, who agreed too. "I'll get the food. You just have to show up." Hesper asked the driver to go to th

"Even if his family forced him to go on a blind date and he was just humoring them, that was rude."Hesper grabbed Jessie's hand and pulled her up. "We're going to have dinner at my home today. I'll call Professor Jenkins and tell him that you're here.""Thank you!"It wasn't the first time Jessie visited her place. She knew the place well, so Hesper went into the kitchen to start cooking. Hesper rarely invited friends over for dinner. Before ending her failed marriage with Rickard, she didn't have friends. After going to live with the Lanes, she focused on self-improvement and pretending to be someone she wasn't, so she didn't have a lot of time to breathe. It was difficult for her to find time to enjoy a holiday alone. Isaac and Renee came together. Even though Hesper said they didn't have to bring anything, Renee bought a few types of wine. Hesper didn't get any drinks because they would be too heavy for her to carry. She was planning to get them from the store nearby."Yo

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
