Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

After changing out of their extravagant gowns, both Delphine and Hesper looked beautiful in their own ways. Camille had a frail-looking face and seemed to have a mild temper. She didn't look like someone who was good at fighting, so some people started feeling anxious, but others started mocking her. "It's better if she just declined. Why would she agree to this?" someone whispered at the back. The people from the front turned around and saw a frowning girl. When she realized everyone was looking at her, she scoffed and said, "If she loses, we'll be disgraced. Everyone knows how good Delphine is."Some of the people there thought she made sense. If Delphine won, Hesper would have to be her maid for a week. They would be the ones disgraced. How could a Savatier work as a maid for the Bernards?Everyone started feeling hostile toward Hesper. The girl saw and said, "She should have just agreed to the shooting competition. Why did she have to do this? She's trying to prove hersel

Hesper knew what Delphine was thinking, and she was right. Delphine had what it took to act the way she did, so Hesper swallowed her price for the time being, for Rickard and for herself. However, that didn't mean Hesper didn't have other ideas. "Rickard has been living away from the family and never had the chance to treat his family well. Since we're having this family banquet, I'm going to use this opportunity and give it to Grandpa." Hesper smiled and looked at Quincey. "I can't think of what to ask for. Why don't you decide, Grandpa?"Everyone was surprised. Delphine hadn't been very nice to Hesper, so they thought Hesper would use this chance to humiliate her, but she gave the choice to the family's leader instead. Quincey was surprised, but he knew Hesper gave him a problem. Delphine was his junior, and even though they had a thing or two to say about her, there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing a hint of cunningness in Hesper's warm smile, Quincey knew she did

Naturally, he wasn't going to get an answer, so he didn't say anything more. He knew even if he asked this when Hesper was awake, he wasn't going to get an honest answer. However, none of that mattered because Hepser was by his side now. Thinking of that, he turned his face toward hers then closed his eyes. ***The next morning, Hesper woke up and the first thing she saw was Rickard's face. She was stunned, then realized where they were. Rickard was the most gorgeous person she had seen in her life. His handsome face and his eyes had creases even when they were relaxed and shut as if they were delicately folded fabric. Rickard opened his eyes before Hesper could scan his face for too long, and they looked into each others' eyes. Hesper was stunned. "You're up."Rickard didn't know what to say. "Not yet."Hearing his voice, Hesper was finally fully awake and sat up in bed. She cleared her throat. "That's so lame. You're trying to find joy in this situation?"Rickard chuck

Leaving Quincey's room, Hesper felt a lot more relaxed, but there were more questions now. Why was he only letting couples who had a good relationship return?When she went back to their place, Hesper was still deep in thought and ignored Rickard who was waiting for her at the door. Hesper only snapped out of it when Rickard called her name and looked up at him, who was standing before her. "What's on your mind?" Rickard frowned and looked at her. He thought Quincey gave her grief. "What did Quincey say to you?"Hesper finally realized Rickard misunderstood the situation, so she shook her head and said, "He didn't put me in a tough spot, but my identity has been exposed. He investigated me after what I did yesterday."Rickard's frown slowly relaxed. "I can use my own identity from here on out. I guess, if we look at it a certain way, this is good." Hesper smiled. "That shows Quincey's tolerance is higher than we imagined.""I just want you to be well. Don't do anything danger

It seemed as though this Lamarie girl was an important person. Why else would the others be so quiet? She must be the leader. Even so, Hesper wasn't going to back down. She smiled and said, "I'm just going to say this again. It's all Grandpa's arrangement. If you have a problem with that, you could, by all means, go ask him why he's giving us this chance."Lamarie wasn't going to question the leader of the family, but seeing how arrogant Hesper was, her gums almost bled from clenching her jaw. She scoffed. "You think we'll think you're better just because you get to attend an auction? Someone who's not part of the family won't stand a chance."Lamarie left with her people after saying that, leaving Hesper standing there staring at her in confusion. This person randomly showed up, made herself angry, then left?Hesper thought she was up to something. Hesper shook her head when Rickard walked over with a cold expression. "That's Lamarie. She was the person talking smack about you
