Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 191 - Bab 200

He knew that he made a huge mistake in the past and wanted to make amends with Hesper. Even though she refused to accept it, he would still use his means to secretly do it as an apology for the hurt that he caused. Ernest shook his head. “What I want to tell you about is related to that kiddo, but not entirely.”At his age, if there were things that he couldn’t figure out before, he would have by then. “Your marriage to Hesper was my fault. You didn’t trust her when you married her. Had I put more thought into it, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you two get married.” Ernest sighed. “Trust is something every couple should have toward each other. How could I expect you to support each other and spend the rest of your lives peacefully if you don’t have that?”Rickard frowned. He made a lot of mistakes, but he didn’t trust Hesper in the beginning because…Rickard suddenly remembered what she had said. Hesper defended herself countless times. She said she didn’t drug anyone and she

“No way, your dark circles are terrible.” Jessie was shocked at how tired Hesper looked. “Did my dad give too many assignments? Is this school violent?”Hesper didn’t know what to say. Jessie quickly skipped to the next topic. Hesper realized that if she didn’t pay absolute attention, she wouldn’t be able to keep up with her. She didn’t know how to feel about that.She wondered why Jessie’s weird ideas didn’t end up on the design board. If they did, Professor Jenkins wouldn’t be so troubled. At the university, Hesper felt more relaxed. She attended classes during the daytime and worked during the night. She would bring Renfrew around for all kinds of delicious food, so life was quite comfortable. Lane Holdings’ growth was better than expected. Rickard would sometimes visit Renfrew, but he didn’t stay long. He would bring some of Renfrew’s belongings over and never mentioned that he wanted to bring him home.That was great because Hesper didn’t want Renfrew out of her sight, no

In the end, Juniper got the money because Rickard felt guilty. He gave it to her after he was forced to marry Hesper.So that was what Juniper meant when she talked about love. It was ironic. Rickard placed the folder down and balled up his fists, his eyes turning red. The truth was too heavy to bear.He remembered how devastated Hesper appeared as she stood in front of him and Juniper, covered in wounds. He also remembered Juniper holding his hand and saying that Hesper would never be good enough for him. …But what good was he?“Mr. Duval, Ms. Lane is here.”Out of anxiousness, Benji forgot to knock and immediately walked into the office. When he saw Rickard, he realized that Rickard had found out the truth.“Hesper… Why is she here?”Rickard frowned. He wasn’t ready to face her, as he was caught off guard for the first time in his life. However, a moment later, Hesper walked in with no expression and looked at him coldly, standing a few feet away. No matter what cruel

“But this is a lesson that you needed to learn. Not everyone gets a good outcome from being too sympathetic. Think about the past, about how disappointed you were.” Nathaneil’s voice was calm. “Disappointment doesn’t just happen. I won’t dig into your past, but Matthew told me that you’ve been through a lot. You shouldn’t be sympathetic to someone who did you wrong. It doesn’t matter if he was the culprit or an accessory; he still hurt you. He doesn’t deserve your trust.”Hesper closed her eyes, then when she opened them again, her tiredness turned into fierceness. “You’re right. Thanks, Nate.”Hesper cracked her knuckles, not knowing how to approach the next topic. After much hesitation, she finally said, “I’ve always avoided talking about our marriage arrangement. You know my situation. You’re a gentleman, and I don’t want to—”“It’s fine.” Nathaniel cut her off again. “Our marriage was arranged by our elders, and there isn’t any benefit to it. Grandpa Arthur isn’t an unreasonab

Hesper was doing well. “Don’t push too hard. I’m worried that you’ll be too tired, and you don’t know what people will do when they’re forced into a corner. Besides, Rickard is a wolf.”Matthew couldn’t make out Hesper’s emotions through the phone, but he knew that Hesper’s change wasn’t out of nowhere.Anything related to Rickard would affect her emotions tremendously. “I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m just more aware than I used to be.”Hesper removed her glasses. Between the company and school, she was busy and life was never more fulfilling. Matthew hadn’t been in contact with her in a while, so it was understandable that he was worried. “The next time you come over, I might already have tamed the wolf. All the things that I’ve learned were to prepare me for this.”Rickard was really quick in handling the attacks she launched. There was a back and forth, but Hesper would always end up with the upper ground. All the Duval Group could do was protect their own profits to ensure th
