A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1461 - チャプター 1470

Kenji put the medication away. Hesper looked toward Rickard. She knew she wasn't feeling seasick because Rickard was around and that cheered her up. However, at the same time, Hesper started thinking about why she would have this fear of sailing. Did something happen when she was a child?She couldn't remember anything, and she never tried to find out before this. She thought losing her memories was a coincidence, and she was arranged to go to the orphanage. She thought something was off when she paid more attention. If she was sent to the orphanage for her own protection, there was no reason to wipe out her memories before that. That meant something must have happened before that, and they had no choice but to send her to the orphanage and cut all ties with the Lanes. She still didn't know the identity of the person who did all that. Hesper investigated many people, but from Charles Deschamps to Victor Bernard, none of them seemed to be the person who did all that to her. W

Did news get around so quickly?Hesper nodded. "I just don't like seeing people getting bullied, and Joanna even apologized to me the other day. I'm not petty.""You're so kind, Hes." She wasn't expecting 'Hes.' Hesper cleared her throat, and Kenji caught up from behind. When he heard that, he felt numb and tried to console himself. It was just a strategy. Strategy. "You gathered at my door so early just to hand me flowers and breakfast?" Hesper looked at the men. The black market was a lot less interesting during the day. She went everywhere they could with Dean yesterday, so she was curious about where they would bring her today. "I forgot this is your first time here. It's the third day of the black market. There'll be a ball."Ball? Hesper knew nothing about this, but when she heard that, she frowned. She had a feeling nothing good would come out of this ball. When a huge crowd gathered, the situation would be difficult to handle, even when she was in disguise. The Chr

Hesper took the mask, which was as she imagined. It suited her and was beautiful, so she happily asked Kenji to pay and put it on. The workmanship was exquisite, so it wasn't cheap. Seeing how Kenji paid without saying a thing, Dean and Briar froze, then remembered Hesper had seen a lot of good quality items before. Mr. Chronos's sister wouldn't be too emotional about receiving flowers and breakfast. They were too naive to believe so. Knowing what was going on in the minds of the two men behind her, Hesper felt better about the ball. She really loved the mask too. Although the ball wasn't starting any time soon, a lot of people showed up early, and the hall became crowded. Briar and Dean probably had other intentions for attending the ball, so they didn't just keep their attention on Hesper. When people started pouring in, Hesper regained her freedom. No one would be able to recognize her with her mask on. Christopher had put on a mask too. Hesper turned around and saw that

Briar and Dean walked to the pair. Hesper was wearing an off-white dress, while Rickard wore a black suit. They didn't intend to match, but when they stood together, it happened anyway.Dean shook his head and said, "I'm surprised you're here, sir. When I invited Ms. Deschamps, she was worried you would be angry about it."Hesper nodded and let Rickard handle it. He was put on the spot but immediately understood why. Hesper didn't want to come with them but couldn't find a good excuse. Thus, she threw him under the bus. This wasn't the first time he witnessed Hesper getting away simply by making things up, so he accepted it. Dean couldn't see the changes in his expression behind the mask, so he thought Rickard agreed with Hesper and guessed they managed to communicate. However, they didn't need to communicate. All they had to do was wink at each other, and the other person would know what was on their mind. Their chemistry was impeccable. "When the crowd started growing, I

Rickard's scent was still around, and that calmed her. Even if they were in the dark, she wasn't afraid. After the momentary darkness, a dim light lit up, and the music was slow. Hesper looked up to see Rickard standing beside her and holding her hand. "This is the second part?"Rickard nodded in reply. "It's a little dark. I wanted to tell you, but I was too late." His sincerity was adorable. Hesper smiled. "You're here anyway, so I won't be afraid. You don't need to worry."Hesper rarely attended balls in the past. Although she learned to dance while working hard to integrate into an affluent family, she still didn't like entertainment that was so intimate. She couldn't accept any other male dance partners either until that moment when their chemistry was felt. She didn't hate dancing; she just didn't like the people she was dancing with. The slow music made the space feel more intimate. Everyone swayed under the dim light, lovers hugging. It felt as if time moved on foreve
