A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 406
The process was relaxing. Hesper just closed her eyes and felt Stephen apply something to her face. She couldn't tell what the texture was, but it was cooling. "By the way…" Hesper said, but Stephen tapped her head. "Don't talk.""..."Stephen realized that she had something important to say, so he impatiently said, "Go ahead. Don't talk during the procedure next time, or it might complicate things."Hearing that, Hesper cut it short. "It has to somewhat look like my face or my student ID won't work.""What?" Stephen smirked. "I'm just giving you a disguise, it isn't magic. I'm not going to change your face… If I knew that was what you were going to say, I wouldn't have let you speak."Hesper could tell that Stephen wasn't a young man and would be around Roberto's age, but his current face wasn't his original one, so Hesper couldn't tell his exact age. However, his personality… was so childish. After some time, Hesper was on the verge of falling asleep. Stephen removed his g

"Oh…" Stephen wasn't very curious. He tossed the gloves into the trash can. "Alright, we should head back out. The Fredonian who only has beautiful eyes is probably anxious."Hesper didn't know what to say. Did Roberto know that was what his friend thought about him?"Seeing Hesper and Stephen walking out, Roberto looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of Hesper and was stunned. "You're really good at this. If I hadn't seen her go in with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell that this was her.""Alright, I've done what I promised, so I can get my peace now. Before you leave, please tell my gardener that a few flowers in zone A have wilted. I want a solution by tomorrow."Stephen didn't show any expression when he said that, but Hesper could tell that he was actually angry. "Alright, your flowers are more important than your life. I'm heading off."Roberto left with Hesper while Stephen stood in the spot. He picked up the watering can and tilted his head as he mumbled, "

Robert looked up and stared at Pennleigh for a moment, then said, "You look familiar but I can't remember your name… Have we met?""Yes, I'm surprised you remember me," Pennleigh said. "On the spring and summer show three years ago, you said that I'm a talented young designer, and that became my motivation to start my own company and achieve what I have now. You changed my life."Roberto had met so many designers throughout his life, and there were a few who were talented. He was always generous with his compliments, so he nodded and said, "You're the reason behind your own success. If you didn't have the mindset and determination, what others say wouldn't have helped. I didn't change your life; you did all the work."Hesper didn't know that there was a history between Pennleigh and Roberto, so when Pennleigh followed her, it was probably influenced by Roberto…"Ms. Riviera, are you working at Antellon? Maybe I could be of help."Hesper was still zoned out, but when she heard his

Hesper would observe Pennleigh, but every movement he made was gentlemanly and he wasn't paying too much attention to her. Even though he said that Roberto changed his life, he didn't flatter him. He didn't look like a bad person. Even so, Hesper was still prudent because bad people wouldn't always show it. Roberto had class the next day, so he left earlier. "It could get dangerous at this hour, so why don't I drive you home?"All of Daybreak's actions were known by the people in Antellon, so Hesper nodded. "I'm staying at Mr. Sanchez's home. He has helped me a lot since I got here.""I heard that he's a very kind man. Even though people might have exaggerated, without him, I'm sure I wouldn't have had the courage to persevere in this industry."Hesper understood how he felt, so she nodded. "He helped me a lot too. If it weren't for him, I might not be able to come and study here."They didn't know each other that well, so there wasn't a lot to talk about. The journey home wa

Hesper knelt down and ran her key over the duct tape to cut it open. She moved slowly because she had a feeling that there wasn't anything good inside. Fredonia wasn't like Halwanest. It was possible that the package contained a highly explosive device. After finally removing the wrapping, a loud bang came from the box. Hesper's face drained of color as she pulled the security guard back. However, nothing happened after the loud bang. Hesper was relieved. She was sure that the sender was 013. No one would do something so childish other than him. However, Hesper still had no clue what was in the box. 013 knew that she wouldn't dare check, so he did all that. Realizing that, Hesper looked angry and took a few steps forward impatiently, then opened the box wide. A bunch of ribbons jumped out. Hepser looked down and saw that there were a few dead rats in the box and a plastic device that had already burst open. "How childish."Hesper closed the box and turned to speak to the

Speaking of this, Renee hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I don’t think Ms. Lane needs a lot of care from us. It’s just that she’s very competitive, so she can be very stubborn most of the time.""Then why do you still trust her?"Renee met Matthew’s gaze, thought for a moment, and replied, "Because she’s the young lady and I’m her subordinate, so it’s my job to support and trust her decision unconditionally. It’s just that simple."Matthew remained silent for a moment, "Perhaps I really don’t know her as well as you do.""It’s because we have different perspectives, Mr. Lane. You’re the young lady’s elder brother, while I’m her subordinate. We’re totally different identity-wise." After saying so, Renee stopped talking and lowered her head. "There are still some tasks that I have to attend to. I shall take my leave now.""Alright."After Renee left, Matthew sighed and looked at the photo of him and Hesper on the desk—— After a while, he stretched out his hand and stro

Hesper was now holding the draft of a commercial manuscript. Since Pennleigh ran into her in Fredonia, he had been persuading her to collaborate with his studio. Pennleigh thought that she was a very innovative designer, as she had always had her own ideas in design, especially when it came to including some oriental elements in them.In the previous competition, even Hesper did not dare to take risks with this design element. After all, among all internationally recognized designs, there were too few that had oriental elements, and the recognition of Halwanese people was very low too."Why don’t you give it a try? There might not be many precedents that came before you, but perhaps you might be the future."When Pennleigh, a man that had a pure foreigner’s look, said these words, Hesper could not help but feel a little weird.But there was no doubt that she thought Pennleigh was right; design should not have boundaries. But even she got caught up by this statement before this, for

"Isn’t that normal?"Evon had already gotten used to Pennleigh signing contracts with a few designers over the years. Although he had been losing some business because of this, it was rather harmless."But the designer is Halwanese. Director Sergeant has shown me some of her designs before. It’s just... They look petty. Don’t know where she found the courage to put those works out for others to refer to."Hesper had just put her belongings away and come out of her office when she heard these remarks."Guys..." Hesper stepped forward and stopped Andris and Evon. "Excuse me, the Halwanese designer that you were just talking about… It’s me, isn’t it?"Evon had not been taking this matter seriously at first, but Hesper’s behavior seemed a little rude to him."You don’t really understand oriental culture, so it’s only natural for you to not understand the charm of oriental elements in fashion design." Hesper seldom argued with others, but she still uttered each and every one of the fo

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
