A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 383
The next day, Dianthe packed her luggage and came straight to Genecity.Hesper went to pick her up from the airport and saw Dianthe, who wore all pink, from a distance at first glance as the pink was very eye-catching among the crowd. As soon as she saw Hesper, Dianthe waved her hand vigorously, forced her way through the crowd with her luggage, and dashed toward Hesper."Hesper!"The suitcase slid forward a few extra feet out of inertia, and before Hesper could react, Dianthe had already hugged her as if she was hugging a human-sized teddy bear."Happy New Year!"Dianthe wore a down jacket, and its fluffy collar nestled around Hesper’s neck, making her feel even warmer."...Happy New Year."Hearing Hesper’s voice, Dianthe let her go, and her clear and beautiful eyes narrowed with her smile, beaming with delight. "Are you happy to see me? And don’t I look good today? Do I look like someone who came out of a cartoon?"Both of them were obviously of the same age, but Hesper subco

One could not claim that Dianthe was bothering Hesper...Hesper had made breakfast. She then took a glance at Dianthe’s closed door and realized that there might be a huge problem—the immense difference between their biological clock.The main thing that erected the red flag within Hesper happened at two o’clock the previous night. Hesper woke up in the middle of the night, only to still hear Dianthe playing games with someone and communicating with her teammate on the mic.The soundproofing of the room was way above average, so Hesper only heard a voice very vaguely when she walked out of her room, but it did not affect her sleep at all.But compared to Hesper’s regular schedule, it was indeed very late.However, unexpectedly, just as Hesper had eaten half of her breakfast, Dianthe trudged out of her room and slogged toward Hesper."It smells so good!" Dianthe walked into the dining room with light makeup on her face and looked at Hesper with bright eyes. "Hesper, you actually k

“Why are you staring at me?”“I think you look great.”Carter stood up and walked over. A sweet smile appeared on the corners of Juniper’s lips. “Are you saying that I only look good today? Allow me to remind you that the director of today’s program is said to be the daughter of a big family in Emperion. So if I can build a good relationship with her, my career will definitely bring my career to a new height from today onward.”“Oh, really?” Carter went along with her solemnity casually. “You’re still worrying about your career when you’re my girlfriend?”“I’m not worried at all.” Juniper giggled and pushed him away. “Okay, okay, stop bothering me already, I have to go through the script carefully now.”When Hesper and Dianthe arrived at the studio, they happened to arrived just in time. Dianthe came there on a work trip as her mentor’s assistant director, but because of her family background and status, many people in the studio wanted to curry favor with her.And Juniper was am

Hesper was taken aback for a split second.‘Actually, I didn’t look like this at all three years ago. People who see me now wouldn't be able to link me to the Hesper Rivera who was timid and taciturn, a woman who would compromise everything for love. However...’“Trust me, looking gorgeous is pointless," Hesper said. "Being loved and appreciated is the only true meaning of life.”Dianthe had never been in a relationship before this, so she nodded her head as if she only understood Hesper’s philosophy partially.Hesper shrugged indifferently, then took Dianthe’s hand, and reminded her, “Let’s stop talking about that. Someone was looking for you over there just now, so you should head over.”“Ah, crap.” Dianthe blinked twice. “I almost forgot that I’m here on business. I have to go and find my mentor first! All you need to do is just stand there, shine, and wait until I finish my work. I’ll come looking for you after I’ve done my job!”After saying so, Dianthe ran away in a hurry.

‘Isn’t that the high-end hand-made brand that's risen to fame in recent years? It’s known for its long crafting period, but all its designs are never produced again.‘Who wouldn’t want to own a dress that’s unique in the whole world? Although most designers accept haute couture orders occasionally, studios that only do haute couture like Eustoma are relatively rare.’“Hesper!”Dianthe ran over. Hesper turned around and inserted the business card into her pocket.“How can you still be in the mood for sitting here? A storm is already brewing!”“What?”Dianthe held Hesper’s hand and explained bitterly, “Rickard is one of the guests who were invited to this show. But because he didn't responded to any of our invitations before, the higher-ups thought that Rickard would not come. However, unexpectedly, we’ve just received a reply from the Duval Group’s email, saying that Rickard has agreed to take part in the interview and he’s on his way here now.”A guest like Rickard was on a whol

When they arrived at the Lanes’ ancestral manor, the whole manor was already in a complete mess.When Hesper saw Arthur, she realized that Matthew had toned down the situation in the manor when he called her. Arthur was lying on his bed and his face looked as pale as death.Wilfred was the first to see her. “Hesper Rivera, how dare you come back here?”He scoffed. “It’s no wonder I didn't like you one bit the moment I first saw you. Father defended you so much, so I couldn’t say much about my suspicions. It turns out that you’re not one of the Lanes.”Hesper did not say anything, as she did not want to argue with Wilfred. She only wanted to know what Arthur was thinking. “Grandpa...”During her four years living with the Lanes, Arthur was the person who treated her the best. No matter what she wanted, he would try his best to help her achieve it. No matter who badmouthed her, Arthur would defend her.“Hesper.” Matthew tugged on Hesper’s sleeve, motioning her not to say more.Hea

In an instant, Helen got pushed into the eye of the storm, but she was still very bewildered.‘I never told anyone about the result since I got it back. I should be the only person who’s being haunted by it day and night, considering it and weighing the pros and cons repeatedly. So how did Simon come to know about it?’“Helen, what exactly do you have in your possession?”When Arthur opened his mouth, Helen knew that even if she did not want to show the result at this moment, she had to do so, as it was better to just bring the result up openly. That was the only way to help Hesper maintain the image that she had been keeping all this while.“It’s a paternity test.” Helen took out a paternity test result that had been folded multiple times from her coat pocket. It looked as if she had been keeping it for quite some time. “I must admit that I once doubted Hesper’s identity, so I secretly collected some of her hair when I went to her room not long ago.”Hesper had not known about th

Matthew had walked up to Hesper’s side at some point and held her hand tightly.Hesper looked back at him. She was hesitant to speak, but her voice sounded extremely hoarse, and she was unable to utter a single word.“I was shocked too when Hesper was brought back to the Lanes by Matthew, but when I saw that everyone, especially Father, liked her so much, I couldn’t bear to clear things up with Father,” Theodore continued to explain calmly. “Hesper is also Father’s granddaughter, so if we still couldn’t find Rachael, why not let Hesper stay with Father?”At first, Arthur thought that Hesper approached him only to lie to him, and he only wanted to hear her explanation. He did not expect that he would find both his granddaughters in just one day.Even Arthur, the man who had experienced countless life and deaths, had teary eyes at this moment.“What about you, Simon? Since you already knew everything back then, why would you tell Matthew that Hesper was his sister?”Simon looked at

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
