A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 460
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

"Don't worry, I don't intend on exposing your true nature because your stupidity is already well-known. There's no point adding more to your glory." Dianthe stood up straight, then leaned closer to her. "But you're such a terrible person, so different from Hesper. If it wasn't because of DNA, I wouldn't think that you're a Lane. Everyone in the Lane family has brains, but you have none."Dianthe left after saying that, leaving Rachael clenching her fist. ***One of Juniper's wedding dresses was ready and Hesper could finally relax. [River A.: I've emailed pictures of the western-influenced gown to you.][Juniper: Perfect, thank you!]Hesper was thinking that there was no need to thank her, but Juniper soon sent another message to tell her that she loved the dress and invited Hesper to her wedding. Hesper would definitely attend. The wedding would be held next year, so there was no point thinking about it now. Pennleigh waved at Hesper from the door, so she put her phone do

At that moment… Rickard sneezed. "You were caught in the rain yesterday. Do you have a cold?" The help, Mrs. Potter, walked over and handed a cup of tea to him. "Ms. Rivera would probably laugh at you for catching a cold because of some flowers."Rickard looked at the roses that Hesper put in a vase on the balcony. Roses sold that way rarely survive for long, but Hesper would stare at them every day in the garden. Rickard stood on the balcony and watched her. He didn't know what was on her mind but could tell that Hesper was happy. Rickard scaled the wall in the storm to bring the flowers home. Even he didn't believe that he did that. He drank the tea in silence, then put the cup down and said, "Did you have any updates about what I told you to do? Did you notice any suspicious people in the area?""No, there's really good security in the area. I've checked. When Ms. Rivera moved over, there was a threatening package but nothing else happened after that."Rickard nodded. H

She would go back to Genecity with her new identity next year and Renfrew would be by her side. "Alright!" After hanging up, Renfrew relaxed. His father texted him and told him what to say if mommy called. Hesper was too proud, so if she wanted to get information about Rickard, she would go to Renfrew and make it sound like she 'cared'. Since Hesper trusted Renfrew, she probably wouldn't suspect anything. "I'm sorry Mommy. It's too dangerous for you to be alone outside. Daddy finally found you, so he can protect you…" Renfrew looked worried. "I hope you won't be angry at me."***The heavy rain the previous night was the beginning of the rainy season in Antellon. Hesper rubbed her legs which were in pain. She knew that her legs would hurt with this weather, but when it happened, she still couldn't manage the pain. "Ms. Rivera, why are you still at work at this hour?"Hesper looked at Andris through the glass door and shook her head. "I have work to finish up. You go ahead

"Is Hesper not back yet?" Rickard frowned and asked Renfrew to give Hesper a call to check on her. However, Renfrew made a few calls but none of them went through. It had turned into a storm outside. "Mr. Duval…" When the help walked in, Rickard already put on his coat and said, "Boil some ginger tea and add more sugar." He left the room after saying that. Mrs. Potter watched him walk away, sighed, then closed the window of the balcony so that the flowers that Rickard did so much to save would survive the storm. Meanwhile, Hesper quietly counted the seconds that ticked by. More than an hour passed, so the chances of someone suddenly coming back to the office or the electricity coming back on were very small. She put her hand to her forehead. Unsurprisingly, she had a fever. "No… I can't stay here."Hesper struggled to stand up, then returned to her office to look for some sharp object to smash the door open. Even though it was going to be difficult to explain what happ

It rained for the past few days and Hesper wore pants because of that. Rickard carefully rolled up her pants and the sight of her swollen knees made his heart ache. Rickard frowned and coughed. "You should change. Let me take care of Ms. Rivera."Rickard nodded. "Thank you."Rickard wanted to stay by her and take care of her, but his showing up was out of desperation. He was glad that Hesper was mostly out of it and didn't recognize him. He wanted to do a lot more for her. He wouldn't go back before taking care of anything that could harm her. "Benji, look into what happened today."Rickard let Benji take over the work in Halwanest while he was in Fredonia. Benji took over his new tasks while looking at the pile of documents on the desk. He wished that Rickard and Hesper would get back together soon so he could go on a holiday. After hanging up, Rickard took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes. Mrs. Potter brought Hesper to the guest room that Rickard prepared

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
