Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1031 - Bab 1040

'Can I really trust this person?'Standing under the sunlight, Hesper felt as if she was enveloped in a mist, unable to see the path ahead clearly. Nevertheless, she had made a promise to Rickard that she would cure Quincey no matter what. If Rickard wanted her to heal him, she would do everything in her power to treat him.When she turned around to go back to her room, she heard Renfrew's voice."Ren?" Ricklard nodded at Hesper when he saw her coming in and gestured to her to come closer. On the screen, Renfrew's adorable face appeared, and upon seeing Hesper, the smile on his face grew wider. "Mommy!"It had been a long time since she had seen Renfrew. Hesper gazed at Renfrew's face on the screen, feeling a sense of longing. She listened to Renfrew bragging about all the new things he had learned recently and expressing how much he missed his mommy and daddy."We'll be back very soon."Hesper looked at Renfrew with a touch of sadness. Rickard reached out and held Hesper's h

"Ms. Bernard, please restrain yourself," Hesper intervened, extending her hand to stand between Rickard and Delphine. Her gaze turned slightly cold, tinged with a hint of mockery. "If I recall correctly, we met yesterday. It seems Ms. Bernard has quite a poor memory.""This is called 'a day apart feels like an eternity'," Delphine said, her gaze never leaving Rickard. "Yesterday, I already conducted a thorough investigation. So, it turns out that Hesper isn't your wife after all. Since you only need a wife, I believe I can fulfill that role, right? I'm far more suitable than Hesper in many ways. After all, I'm the princess of the Bernards."Delphine's words had crossed Hesper's bottom line. In an instant, Hesper threw a punch, catching Delphine off guard. Although Delphine instinctively evaded the blow, the punch still landed on her cheekbone."Watch your words and show some respect," Hesper said coldly.Feeling the pain from the punch, Delphine winced and stared at Hesper with eye

Hesper was hiding something from him, and he had not figured it out yet. If she were to find out that he had been concealing something from her, she might decide to leave and pursue her own goal. This island was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and if Hesper left him, Rickard could not guarantee her safety.Rickard: [Let's play by ear.]*On the other side, Hesper obtained permission from Lamarie and entered her residence. Unlike Lamarie herself, the small courtyard appeared warm and cozy. Perhaps it was because Lamarie had grown up here since childhood, and the decor had a touch of personal charm."Why have you come to see me?" Lamarie asked, warily observing Hesper. Seeing that she did not seem to have any ill intentions while taking in the courtyard, Lamarie sat on the swing in front of the yard, her eyes showing a hint of curiosity."No need to be too cautious. I came this time to discuss a potential collaboration with you," Hesper replied with clear eyes. "I belie

"I want to ask him a few questions. I want to see him. Can you make that happen?" A hesitated and did not speak. Hesper leaned back in her chair, appearing indifferent. "If you can't treat me sincerely, then I won't be able to do anything you tell me to do. This is a simple and easy-to-understand principle. I hope you are a smart person."A still remained silent. Hesper knew that although A was hesitating it was unlikely for him to quickly understand and reveal everything in a straightforward manner. She decided to shut down all of A's words."Come back to me when you've figured things out. I hope that next time I'll get a definite answer from you."With that said, Hesper stood up and left A's sight.That day's conversation with A went exactly as Hesper had expected. When she entered the room, she found Rickard standing by the window. From that angle, he could clearly see her sitting with A just now.It seemed that Rickard did not just walk by."Are you done with your work?" He

Hesper fell into a pensive silence. She did not expect that Rickard had silently established his business on the island, especially in the form of auctions. The island's elites could not possibly avoid the auctions, which meant he had already secured a continuous flow of information and wealth. Previously, Rickard had pretended to be cautious and careful on the island, but now, Hesper realized that he likely knew more about the island than the Savatiers.The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Hesper could not help but glare at Rickard and let out a cold snort."So, this is what I've been hiding from you. Initially, I didn't intend to deceive you, but I just didn't know how to tell you," Rickard explained.To Hesper's surprise, she could discern the thoughts running through Rickard's mind, and she couldn't help but feel that they were both akin to two children in their behavior. The reason Rickard decided not to tell her anything was because he felt it was unfair as h
