A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 466
"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

But now there was a very good chance to redeem himself, so why was he shying away?Mrs. Potter didn't understand, but that wasn't something she needed to worry about. All she needed to think about was to prepare whatever Rickard asked her to. ***The next time Hesper opened her eyes it was already the evening of the next day. She stirred and opened her eyes. The ceiling looked unfamiliar, so Hesper woke up immediately and propped herself up into a sitting position, but someone held her shoulders down. "Who— Mrs. Potter?"She nodded, then sat down and opened up the food container on the table. The smell of soup immediately filled the room. "You were unconscious for half a day. Have some food before you speak.""Don't worry, I've spoken to the doctor. Your legs aren't in terrible condition and it was fortunate that you were sent here in time." Mrs. Potter paused, then continued. "You can drink the soup."Hesper paused, then sat up with the help of Mrs. Potter and started lookin

"That's pretty much the situation. I heard that some doctors have run extensive research on this. If you could find one of them, you might be able to get things under control.""Alright…"Mrs. Potter turned around and Rickard was standing behind her. The sound insulation wasn't great, so Rickard heard everything that they said. "Alright, I'm going to leave." Rickard looked down. "Hesper is very sensitive so if I stay any longer, she's going to find out."Mrs. Potter could tell that something was off with him, but she nodded. She didn't know that Rickard was trying to figure out the chances of Daybreak taking Hesper away if they attacked now. However, no matter what was the probability, he didn't have time to delay for Hesper's legs. ***Meanwhile, Myriade typed a bunch of code into her computer when someone opened the door behind her. "...Riley?" The lights were off so the room was dark. Riley was the only one who would interrupt her. Myriade stood up impatiently when she

There was so much to tell Pennleigh about what happened the day before, but Hesper just gave a brief explanation. Pennleigh called her after reading halfway through it. "I've never heard of any employees being left behind. I have a feeling that this was done intentionally." Penneligh looked serious. "I'm not going to allow someone to do that."Hesper suspected that 013 was behind this, but it wasn't his style to be so childish. If 013 wanted to take her life, it wouldn't be that simple. "I think Evon is behind this." Hesper was blunt. "I can't think of anyone who would want to do this to me other than him.""But we don't have evidence." Pennleigh could see the hesitation in her eyes, but he looked down. "The cameras weren't working because the electricity was cut off… You didn't even get an explanation for what happened before this, but now something new happened.""Who said that I don't have evidence for the previous time?"Hesper didn't think that Evon would have the audaci

Mrs. Potter originally did not understand why Rickard would fall for Hesper. In fact, Hesper’s appearance was considered ordinary, so if she and Rickard were to stand next to each other, they probably would not make a perfect match.Needless to talk about her background, Hesper was only an ordinary designer.But Hesper had a unique quality that could not help but attract others’ attention. She was a solemn and sincere lady, so much so that even Mrs. Potter had taken a liking to her, let alone a man."You should grab some well-deserved rest for now, Ms. Rivera. I’ll take my leave first.""Okay."...On the other side of things, Rickard was standing in front of the gate of the grounds of Daybreak, and his hawk-like gaze was fixed on the slowly opening gate."Yo, what's brought you here, Mr. Duval?" Riley covered his face and chuckled. "It seems that we still haven’t figured out the extent of your ability, Mr. Duval. You actually managed to find it here."Myriade stayed behind Ril

Professor Miles took a few more steps forward, Rickard seemed to know that Julian was in a dilemma. He did not say anything and quietly watched as he walked over."How about it, Dr. Zink? Your love rival is standing over there showing off his might. Are you willing to turn all your hard work into a joke?" Riley chuckled twice. "You know, perhaps I do have my own ulterior motive, but after getting along for such a long time, I really care about our friendship. I really can’t watch this timid look of yours now.""Do you really think I won’t know that you only want to use me to deal with Rickard Duval?" Julian sneered. "I know best what I mean to you. That psycho can’t come back now, so you should be the person who wants to kill me the most in the world."Riley looked at Julian with a smile for a while. "However, Dr. Zink, your actions seem to tell me that a collaboration between us is about to be reached.""What are you two talking about?" Professor Miles saw that Julian had not caug

Professor Miles nodded. He knew about this and had reminded Julian before."Then how do we know that you’re only checking to see if there are surveillance devices in our phones and not stealing our personal information?" Julian sneered. "I’m afraid we might’ve gone from one kidnapper to another."The person in charge of welcoming them smiled when he heard the words, and then explained bluntly, "In a sense, we saved you only because you happened to have been captured along with your master, not because we needed you. If you don’t believe in us, you can get out of the car now. However, any electronic equipment that hasn’t been inspected won’t be allowed to come with us.""You—!""Please do understand the position that we’re in."Julian looked at Rickard.‘Such a blunt warning is obviously something that Rickard would say. He would only pretend to be calm and magnanimous in front of others, but in fact, he looks down on me deep down. This was already the case when I was living in th

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1854
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
