Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1531 - Bab 1540

Before Sophia could sit down and catch her breath, Karen was already questioning her from upstairs. "Where did you go?"Sophia was startled and looked around instinctively, only to see that everyone's gaze had instantly turned toward her, all looking somewhat confused."I've been looking for you but couldn't find you anywhere. It turns out that you just got back from outside." Karen's remarks made Sophia frown in disgust. 'I'm Fenix's wife, not the Summers' property. So why aren't I allowed the basic freedom of entry and exit? I'm a person, not some livestock the Summers keep.'Although Fenix's fondness for Sophia had waned over time, he still harbored some feelings for her; at the same time, Karen was not his biological mother. Thus, Fenix could not help but feel a little resentful each time Karen targeted the wife he had personally chosen.'Are you targeting me indirectly?'Fenix frowned and said, "It's fine, Mother. She had just gone out for a while, hadn't she? So what's the

But with Rickard in a coma, there seemed to be no one else who could help them except Hesper.If what Fenix said was true, Chelsea was the Summers' sole source of income; the casino could never generate enough profit by itself. Losing Chelsea would be equivalent to losing the lives of everyone in the Summers. Jade was not prepared to allow this to happen."Hesper, I came to ask for a tiny favor." Jade initiated the conversation."A tiny favor?" Hesper gave off a smirk. "If it were just a trivial matter, I doubt you would've come to me for help. Am I right, Mr. Summers?""Well..." Jade blushed, being put on the spot.Over the years, he had not had to beg many people for help. However, now that he was getting older, he had come here several times to seek assistance; this time, it was from someone completely unrelated to him. But for Chelsea's sake, he had no choice but to set his pride aside."Alright, I don't like making things difficult for others. Why don't you tell me what brin

Despite repeatedly reminding herself that Asher's death was not her fault, Hesper still could not shake off traces of guilt.When she had the same nightmare for the third time, Hesper woke up in a panic and texted Professor Miles. After listening to Hesper's description, Professor Miles confirmed that she was overthinking things, causing her to recall all those past events.The only solution was for Hesper to control her thoughts and not dwell on them so they would not come to mind. However, during the day, she could not help but think about these things, making it impossible for her not to dream about them at night.Thus, Professor Miles ordered Rickard to stay by Hesper's side every day and find ways to distract her. This was the only way to slow down the recovery of Hesper's memories.Knowing Hesper well, even if Rickard knew that this was the case, going out and leaving everything behind at this juncture was not something Hesper could bring herself to do. Therefore, getting Hes

Rickard's appearance made Benji suppress a chuckle. Before meeting Hesper, Benji had never imagined that there would be someone who could elicit such emotion from his usually indifferent boss.Meanwhile, Hesper stared at the name written in the palm of her hand, nodded, and smiled. "I got it now, you're Duncan. It's a lovely name; I'll always remember it."My name is Hesper." After introducing herself, Hesper copied Duncan, writing her name in the palm of his hand. And when she finished writing, Duncan instantly retracted his hand as if he wanted to hold onto the name.Seeing Duncan in this state, Hesper felt rather complicated.'Even though Cheney is hunting these people down to such an extent, she's not entirely in the wrong. From a certain perspective, if these people hadn't taken part in past events and laid their fingers on Asher, they wouldn't have brought this disaster onto themselves.'Hesper could not judge what was right and wrong easily, which made her mood all the more

Their farewell had been hasty. In fact, not to mention Chelsea, even Hesper had not anticipated that their paths would cross again in this manner.As for why Hesper was there, it began from the previous evening when Jade suddenly contacted her and explained that the Summers had no way to approach the Andersons without a legitimate excuse. Without Hesper's help, they had no means of getting there, so they had no choice but to turn to her once again.Hesper no longer desired Jade's offer. Except for Chelsea, everything of the Summers' was of no interest to her.However, Jade proved himself to be troublesome. Hesper was worried that if she could not find Chelsea, Jade would find a way to return to Halwanest and bother Ernest and others. This could lead to either angering Ernest or exposing Rickard's little secret, and neither of these outcomes was something Hesper wanted to see. Thus, she had no choice but to agree to help first.Thinking of this, Hesper smiled, but there was not a hi
