A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 429
"Hey…"Hesper did not see that someone was coming toward her, so she bumped into him. When she heard the grunt from that person, she took a step back and said, "I'm so sorry about that…""Ms. Rivera?" A familiar voice rang out above her, prompting Hesper to raise her head. She saw someone who she did not expect to see at all."Seth?" Leaning on the door, Seth frowned after he confirmed that the woman in front of him was Hesper. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in Emperion? Why did you come to Fredonia, and why do you want to learn kickboxing?"Hesper's wildest dreams would she have thought she would run into Seth there. After the initial shock ebbed away, she suddenly realized something. "How did you recognize me?"She had changed her face. Seth had only seen her once, so how did he recognize her?"Umm… It's because of your smell," Seth said flatly. "I have a sensitive sense of smell. I didn't see your face either. I just recognized you through your body scent."

Seth shook his head. "Other than Nate, no one else thinks that I'm one of the Tuckers. Actually, we both lied to you last time. I'm not Nate's cousin. I'm his adopted brother."Hesper was shocked. Both Nathaniel's parents passed away shortly after his birth, and Hesper knew that both of them were soldiers. It made sense for the Tuckers to adopt a poor child, given their economic power."After Mr. & Mrs. Tucker passed away, the Tuckers wanted to kick me out. It was Nate who stepped forward and protected me. He even sent me overseas so that I could continue my studies…" Seth paused for a moment before continuing. "But sometimes, I feel sorry for him…"Hesper did not expect the situation to be like this. Perhaps the reason Nathaniel did not tell Seth about his situation was that he thought Seth did not need to know about it. After all, these things basically had nothing to do with Seth. If it were not for this unexpected encounter, Seth might still be kept in the dark. "Now you don't

"Come in, the door isn't locked."Isaac collected the documents and stood aside. Rachael walked into the office and placed the food on the table with a smile. "The cook said that I've improved a lot. It should taste… alright."Isaac stood there silently. Matthew nodded and opened up the container then was surprised. It was Seared Salmon, Hesper's favorite food. "...What's wrong?" Rachael leaned in. "The fish is still in one piece. I brought it over right after I made it. Do you not like fish? Now that I think about it, I don't know what you like. Can you tell me the next time we dine together?""No." Matthew looked at her trying to impress him and sighed. After a long pause, he said, "Nothing's wrong, I love fish. You don't have to try and impress me. We're siblings… We'll need to live together."Rachael smiled after she heard him say that. "That's great. I thought I did something wrong. When the cook told me that Hessy is a really good cook, I was thinking that doing this woul

"Again." Hesper laid on the floor when Seth's voice came from above. She waved her hand. "Give me some time, don't rush it."Seth looked down at her and sighed. "Are you still not giving up?""Of course not. I knew it was going to be tiring before I started learning thisss…" Hesper flipped around and sat up. "I'm not going to give up."Seth was surprised when he reached out to help her up. "Thanks."Watching her hype herself up even though she looked half dead, Seth was silent for a while before he said, "Your leg was injured in the past, right? It looks pretty bad.""You could tell?" Hesper was surprised. "You're so skinny. I thought you only learned kickboxing for self-defense but it turns out you're quite good at this."Seth cleared his throat awkwardly. "I'm very professional."Remembering their previous topic, Seth spoke in a deep voice. "Your leg is still injured, so if you want to learn kickboxing, it might cause more friction. I don't think you should continue.""Fr

"Are you happy that you're finally on a break?"It was peak summer. Hesper and Roberto walked out of the campus together. When she heard the question, she tilted her head and thought about it. "I'll be graduating in a little over a year and I'll be able to start working then. Of course I'm happy.""You're right, I've forgotten that you're rich."In the past few months, Hesper made quite a lot of money at Eustoma and even made a name for herself in the design world. However, to avoid letting Matthew find her, she used the name River A. There was an agreement to be signed later, so Pennleigh came earlier to the gates to fetch Hesper. Ever since she found out that he was well-off, he had no reason to hide it anymore. He would drive a different luxury every time he went over and even Hesper was shocked at how luxurious they were. Rickard and Matthew weren't crazy about cars. Even though they had their own collection, they would always drive the same ones out. That was how Pennleig

"Is there a problem?"Hesper shook her head. "I know this person. Everything else is fine.""Oh…" Pennleigh was confused. She said that she knew the client, but then she also said that there was no problem… So was there a problem or not?***Once the break began, Seth would temporarily go home. He didn't know why but he felt relieved. "Was training me so tiring? You just haven't seen me for a few months and you look so much more relaxed."Hesper pretended to be annoyed. After Seth heard that, he went back to having a poker face and said after a long pause, "What do you know? Focus on your posture. We'll spar later."Hesper felt that they had gotten closer, but he immediately went back to being cold. She didn't want to read too much into it. "By the way, I need your help on another thing." Hesper asked Seth to not tell anyone about her changing her face, even if it was Nate. However, now that Seth was going back, he might spend a lot of time with Nathaniel, so she was worried

Hesper removed her glasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose. A few months ago, Pennleigh's mother, Isobella invited her over too. Hesper used her studies and work as an excuse and said that she didn't have time to visit. However, she didn't expect her to still remember her. "My mom really likes you. She always asks about you whenever I text her." Pennleigh paused after that, then continued. "I can't take it anymore."If she said no again, it would start to sound rude. Hesper rejected her on multiple occasions, so this time Isobella only invited her when she was sure she had time. Hesper could tell that Isobella liked her. Maybe because she didn't have her own family, Hesper had always respected the elders and didn't want them to hate her."Why not…""This weekend?"They spoke at the same time. Pennleigh was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, if I didn't come up with such a brilliant plan, you wouldn't have to be dragged into this."Dragged? Hesper beamed. "Not at all, it's just a

Now that she thought about it, the only thing that Isobella didn't like about Hesper was that she didn't have the looks to match Pennleigh. Men are all visual animals. How could she guarantee that even her son would be loyal for the rest of his life just because of love? Beauty was different though; beauty would always be beauty. Isobella spoke to the older guests most of the time, so Hesper just stood there in the background. She was used to that. She would say a few words whenever they chatted with her. That was something she knew well. "Pennleigh, your dad wants you to go upstairs to speak to him."Pennleigh was having fun watching Hesper but was soon held back by Isobella. "Tell your dad how you've been recently. There'll be one more guest who's coming later. Do your best.""Guest?" Pennleigh frowned, but before he could say anything, Hesper felt someone shove her and squeeze between her and Pennleigh. "Penn, I haven't seen you in so long!"A girl threw herself onto Pennle

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
