A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 455
Now, it seemed like he had disappeared without a trace.That being said, 013's disappearance had given Hesper a chance to take a breather. If 013 had continued to disturb her life like before, she might not have had the mental capacity to focus on her work.After drawing for a whole morning at the company, Pennleigh also realized that it was the holiday season that day and said with embarrassment, "I forgot when I came back. You don't have to work all the time. We don't exploit our employees here at Eustoma."Hesper shook her head. "I still have to work on the drawing when I get home, so it's the same for me to work anywhere. But I'm leaving in the afternoon. I didn't have a good night's sleep last night, so I'm planning to go back and sleep. I'll come back to work tomorrow."As Fredonia University entered the holiday season, Hesper came to Eustoma to keep herself busy. Like always, Evon still treated her badly. However, Andris, who did not like her design at all in the beginning,

Hesper had not seen anyone in the adjacent house since she moved in, but the property management staff would occasionally come to clean it up and prevent it from becoming completely abandoned.She had asked Roberto about the situation next door and learned that the owner had multiple properties and left this one vacant since it was a bit far from the city center.Now, she was wondering if the house had been sold or rented out.As she stood in front of the courtyard gate pondering, Hesper sent a text message to Roberto and asked him to help inquire about the situation next door. After all, it had been a while since 013 showed up. She could not let her guard down in case anything suspicious was going on.Just as she sent the message, a youthful woman with a gentle face who was dressed like a butler walked out of the courtyard. She walked straight towards Hesper."Hello, may I ask who you are?" the woman asked.Hesper was a bit surprised but pointed to her own house and said, "I'm a

"Good work," Rickard commended. Mrs. Pisano recommended the butler when Rickard left the Pisano manor. She had a very gentle look, and Rickard was in need of someone to talk to Hesper on his behalf.Looking at Rickard, the butler was a little confused. For someone like Rickard, he just needed to wave his hand and countless people would flock to him. Why would he move cautiously to live next to that girl but refuse to show himself before her? Perhaps even a wealthy man like Rickard would have problems winning the heart of a woman. *Roberto finally replied. He was friends with the house owner. He told Roberto that he indeed had rented his house to someone. However, he could not tell him the man's identity. He only told Roberto that he was not someone he knew personally.After receiving this accurate information, Roberto forwarded the message to Hesper. She felt relieved, but at the same time, she was also assaulted by a wave of guilt for squandering the gift that was meticulous

The next day, Hesper arrived at the company's doorstep at the agreed-upon time. She glanced at the time. She was used to arriving early, so the client's car had not yet arrived."You're so hardworking."Pennleigh's voice came from behind, prompting Hesper to turn her head around to see him standing behind her. Pennleigh usually wouldn't come to the company at a time like this. Hesper raised her eyebrows and asked, "You're talking about yourself, right? What brought you to the company so early today?" "Let's not argue for now," Pennleigh said, offering Hesper a smile. "Our client will be here soon. Before they're here, I have a few things to tell you." "Okay." After spending such a long time together, Hesper also knew Pennleigh quite well. Although he did not look serious right now, she was confident that he must have something important to tell her. "I'll make it short and simple," Pennleigh said, cocking his head. "Mrs. Lanning is in poor health. I'm sure you're already awar

There was a woman standing with her back facing her in the balcony. There were no expensive or precious flowers in the room. The entire room was filled with a few sunflowers that complemented the decoration in the room. The woman put down the bottle in her hand and turned around, smiling as she greeted Hesper, "Hello, Ms. Rivera." Upon seeing the woman, Hesper was briefly stunned. The reason was nothing else but that the woman bore a resemblance to her. The brightness in her almond-shaped eyes had been enriched by the passage of time, making her seem even more gentle."Hi, Mrs. Lanning. I'm Hespe Rivera." Elise walked over gracefully and said, "Please have a seat, Ms. Rivera. I like your design a lot. I never expected you to be so young. It's such a shame that I couldn't meet you earlier due to my poor health. It's strange, but as soon as I saw you, I felt particularly close to you. It's as if I had met you somewhere before."Hesper actually had the same feeling. However, conside

The project Hesper was handling right now was Eustoma's biggest project. Therefore, Pennleigh gave her some time off, telling her to go home to get some rest while getting her thoughts sorted out. Since there were still some vegetables at home that she bought last night, she still preferred to make herself a meal despite having the cookies she made the night before. When passing by the next door, she saw the butler again and greeted him through the wrought iron gate. Hesper seemed to have not experienced this kind of neighborly relationship before, but she had never seen the owner of the house next to hers. However, most people were working outside at this time. Hesper nodded at the butler and then went into the house. Compared to Elise, Juniper would pester Hesper from time to time regarding her dress. Had it not been for her professional ethics, Hesper would have given up since Juniper really annoyed her. While she was working on her design, she thought of asking Julian to se

Julian looked at Riley with trepidation and took a step back to avoid his hand. “You probably don’t know this yet, but Hesper and Rickard are back together now. They’re being lovey-dovey to each other now.” Riley took his hand back. “You’re, after all, just a brother to her, a spare who kept lingering by her side.”“Shut up.” Riley played with his hair. “I didn’t make that up. Will Ms. Rivera one day find out your feelings for her?”Riley turned around and left after saying that, leaving Julian frowning on the spot. Hesper and Rickard got back together? How could that be possible?Julian shook his head. After all that happened in the past, all Rickard did to her, why would she choose to forgive him? [Hesper: Don't you plan to come back in the near future?]Julian looked down, and after a long pause, he replied. [Julian: Yes, I have work to do. I heard that you've gotten back with Rickard, is that true?][Hesper: Gotten back? Who did you hear that from?]Julian was relie

Meanwhile, Genecity. Rachael walked behind Isaac with her head hanging low, listening to the chatter around them. "She's here again…""She comes to see Mr. Lane three times a day. Why doesn't she just learn to manage the company…""Alright, we don't want her to hear us."She pursed her lips in embarrassment and didn't show her sad expression until they got into the elevator, then said in a timid tone, "Zac, does everyone hate me?"Isaac frowned but he said in a business-like tone. "If you perform well, the rumors will die down. When Ms. Lane first joined the company, she met with more criticism, but she managed to get all the employees on her side." Isaac paused after mentioning Hesper, then changed the topic. "No one really cares about your background; they only care about your performance."Rachael looked down. "I know I'm not as smart as Hessy. I wish I was because… everyone would be able to accept me a lot sooner."Isaac didn't want to continue the conversation because he

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
