A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 96
“Ren, children shouldn’t lie. Who were you speaking to?” Rickard put on a stern face. Renfrew was still afraid of him, so he came clean. “Mommy. I was on a call with mommy.”When he heard that it was Hesper, his face looked confused. He looked at the child. Renfrew was active but he didn't smile a lot. Ever since Hesper’s return, he seemed to be a lot happier. “Ren, tell me, do you love mommy?”Rickard got to his height and started caring about him. Renfrew nodded. “Mommy is so cool and she treats me very well. Of course, I love her.”“Do you want to live with her then?” Rickard asked.He nodded but then shook his head. Rickard didn’t understand. “Do you want to or not?”Renfrew replied, “I want to, but that’s pointless. Mommy was bullied by grandma and Aunt Sophia, so she would never forgive them, so she wouldn’t come back to us either.”This little child was able to understand such complex emotions. He sadly lowered his head and suddenly looked at his dad with puppy e

Rickard finally reacted when he heard Hesper’s name. He stretched out his hand, and Benji gave him the phone. “Speak. What’s going on?” Juniper was upset. “Rickard, we’ve known each other for so many years. Do I have to mention Hesper for you to want to speak to me?”“I have limited time. I’m going to hang up if you don’t get to the point.”“Don’t—!” Juniper bit her lips and told him the hospital’s location. “Hesper is more ruthless than you imagined. You’ll find out what she did when you get here.”“Stop being dramatic.” He impatiently pinched the bridge of his phone and lazily leaned back on his chair. This had something to do with Hesper, so it piqued his curiosity. “Let’s go take a look.” Benji saw how his emotion changed and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Duval, you miss Mrs. Duval, don’t you? You get uneasy every time her name is mentioned.”“Mind your own business.”They both went to the hospital and soon found Juniper’s room. What they saw was a face that was red, bla

Rickard knew she said that intentionally. Mrs. Wight helped him once and he had always remembered that. Even if he didn’t care about Juniper’s life, he would still be concerned about Mrs. Wight. “You’re… impossible.”Juniper knew that her plan worked because he no longer ignored her plea. Her eyes were red when she said, “Don’t blame me, I didn’t have a choice. Hesper was coming after me like a mad woman and put me on the spot even during the interview.”Rickard watched that interview, so he knew who was in the wrong and wouldn’t be tricked by her words. “I’ll figure something out for the antidote, but I can’t promise anything.”The man looked tired. When she saw that he was leaving, she tugged at his sleeve with a sad look. Rickard frowned impatiently. “What?”“I was so shaken by this and haven’t had any food all day. Could you stay and dine with me?”“No.” Rickard immediately rejected her and didn’t give her a chance to delay him, then turned and left with Benji. When th

The structure of the building was completed and the interior was under renovation. Workers and ladders could be seen everywhere and everyone was busy with their own tasks. “This spot, the paint is uneven. Please go over it again.”When Rickard walked over, he saw Hesper in a red dress pointing around a ladder. The bright color made her look so stunning, her dark hair fell behind her shoulders and she was even prettier than before. Suddenly, the man who was on the ladder accidentally kicked a can of paint over, and the white paint spilled downward—“Watch out!”Rickard yelled out and rushed over to grab her, using his back to block the paint from her. Hesper immediately shoved him away after he hugged her. “Who says you can hug me!”Rickard didn’t expect that, so he stumbled backward. That was when Hesper saw what was on his back and was stunned. “Are you alright, Mr. Duval?”Benji rushed over and when he saw what Hesper did, he said, “Mrs. Duval, Mr. Duval was just tryin

The man’s voice sounded threatening, but Hesper couldn’t care less. She turned around, her dress swirling in the cold office. It was beautiful. “I don’t have an antidote, but seeing how you shielded me just now, I could help her.”“What do you plan to do?” Rickard didn’t look very happy because he realized that he no longer knew her. Hesper’s smile was still cunning like a fox. “Don’t worry, there’ll only be good news.”They looked at each other for two seconds, but Rickard knew that she already made up her mind. He turned to leave, but Hesper stopped him. “Hold on.” Rickard stopped walking and thought that she had more to say to him, but she lazily said, “How has Ren been? I want to spend a few days with him.”Rickard took a deep breath and was going to say that she couldn’t just do whatever she wanted but changed his mind and after a few seconds of silence. He calmly said, “I’ll send him to the hotel.”“Sure.” After they said what they wanted to say, Hesper walked awa

Juniper, who could not wait anymore, called Hesper directly and could not hide her hatred as soon as the call went through. “You b*tch! Rickard should’ve contacted you, right? Where’s the antidote?”“What antidote are you talking about?” Hesper blinked in confusion on purpose.‘Anyway, it’s not my face that’s going to get disfigured, so I’m not the one who’s in a hurry.’“Stop pretending already! Rickard already knows what you’ve done to me. He’ll definitely obtain the antidote for me!”“Really? I must say, you’re really a confident one.”Hesper was in a rush to pick Renfrew up, so she was too lazy to go back and forth with her. She only gave off a chuckle and left Juniper a short message before hanging up the phone. “But I do have a gift for you. Just allow me to make up for what I’ve done to hurt you.”“I don’t believe that you’ll be this kind!” Juniper shrieked and rejected her gift, but it was already too late as Hesper had already hung up the phone.Not long after, a famili

But why would the television station want to put a host whose reputation had been severely damaged out there? The director escaped from the ward immediately.Even though Juniper yelled so loud that her voice turned hoarse, he would not stop and return to the ward.“I really can do it!” she screamed, unwilling.The attitude of her former colleagues all changed as soon as they left the ward. They rushed away from the ward one after another as if they were afraid that they would be kept there in the ward by Juniper if they were to leave a second later.“This is my opportunity. How can you guys do this to me...?”Juniper was devastated. The great joy only went on for a few minutes, and it was immediately followed by sorrow and grievance.‘I’ve already won so many awards, and I’m only a few awards away from earning myself a grand slam and becoming a well-known goddess-like public figure. But now, I can’t even grasp the opportunity that was placed right in front of me! Damn! Damn it!’

Hesper did not want him to know more about her past, so she gave off a faint smile. “Don’t worry, it’s all over now.”“But, Mommy, you must have been very sad because everyone around you targeted you and embarrassed you.”Because of his words, Hesper’s eyes turned bloodshot.“You brat, who taught you to say all that? Just how gutsy are you?” She pinched his cheeks, trying to get away with it.The little boy stared at her without blinking his eyes and abruptly wrapped his arms around her neck, saying in the softest voice, “Mommy, I’ll protect you in the future, and I won’t let anyone hurt you ever again.”And this promise was perfectly kept by Renfrew for many years to come; no one could ever break it.“Alright, mommy believes in you.” Hesper smiled and brought him to the restaurant for a meal.Considering that Renfrew was still growing up, she asked the chef to cook some nutritionally balanced dishes, and Ren ate everything except green peppers.Hesper did not force the issue,

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
