Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1601 - Bab 1610

Hesper looked at him smilingly. After all, she did not believe Briar hadn't thoroughly investigated their relationship. Jen was with Briar, so he must have known many things about them."I didn't expect you to be so low-key today."Briar gave a bitter smile. "I've offended Master Turner several times now. Being here without getting kicked out is already something to be thankful for. How dare I make a ruckus?"If only he had such awareness. However, everything Briar said felt like a lie to Hesper."You two seem to have a really good relationship. I've only heard rumors before, and I didn't get to appreciate it properly, even when we were at Black Market. You're inseparable."Jen already knew about Rickard's identity. Hesper had never fully believed that she had not told Briar, so now was a good opportunity to test the waters.Hesper and Rickard exchanged a glance. He understood what she wanted to do and took a seat.Briar raised an eyebrow, surprised that they were willing to sit

Upon hearing Rickard's words, Briar nodded with a smile and then remained silent. In any case, he assumed that their plan had succeeded. Whether he could keep Rickard here was not important at all. Hesper had already gone over, and she would surely notice that Lily was gone. However, she was too late. There was nothing she could do about it. Things would not have progressed so smoothly if it were not for Joffrey's useless sons. These two were remarkably foolish. Not only did they collaborate with outsiders to plot against their family members, but they were also foolishly useless.Briar knew Hesper was clever. She had a good relationship with Lily, so she would surely guess someone would target Lily tonight. Given Hesper's intelligence, she could protect Lily. However, Briar was not a fool. He wanted to take advantage of this time difference. If Hesper suspected that someone might target Lily, she would be more vigilant and keep an eye on those who might harm Lily. After all, th

Everyone stared at the screen displaying Hesper's face with confusion. Following that, the camera zoomed out a bit, revealing the scene behind Hesper to everyone. It was a room. On the bed lay a man who seemed to be unclothed. Hesper said, "Hello, everyone. Please forgive me for appearing like this."People began murmuring, eager to understand what was happening. Seeing the person on the bed, Briar's face had completely darkened. While others might not recognize the person on the bed, Briar could see it. This person was none other than Norman, who was supposed to have succeeded by now but was currently bound and naked on the bed. Briar looked at Rickard and said, "Norman is just a child. He doesn't understand anything. There's no need to go this far, right?"Recalling Hesper's previous sarcasm about how parents would shamelessly claim their children were just kids whenever they made mistakes, Rickard said, "If Hesper hadn't arrived in time, the one about to be ruined now would be

He had someone arrest them before leaving. Christopher was not present, and no one dared to offend Mr. Chronos. Although they were suspicious of Rickard's action, they still let his people escort them away."Great minds think alike." Hesper smirked, finally feeling relieved. She then said, "This is good. At least we accomplished everything what we wanted, and Lily hasn't suffered any substantial harm."However, the future still seemed worrisome when she thought about it. Lily was still taken away even when so many people protected her. But Hesper could not stay here forever."Don't think too far ahead," Rickard said, and Hesper came to her senses. She realized that she might have been overly anxious. As long as there were challenges, there would be countermeasures. Even if Lily were her daughter, she could not protect her forever. "You're right." Hesper leaned on Rickard's shoulder as he continued, "It's not that you lack the ability. Don't shoulder everything yourself."It was a

She wondered if they had sorted things out. Hesper checked herself and did not feel any discomfort. She got out of bed and opened the door for the two. They were in the middle of a conversation, but the next moment, they saw Hesper."Ms. Rivera!" They both exclaimed in unison. Seeing them, Hesper couldn't help but smile. "Come in."Sylvie and Renee entered the room. Upon noticing the two people occupied the space, they fell silent—they could not be blamed. After Rickard and Hesper went to Leafdelle Island, their relationship progressed rapidly. Sylvie and Renee had not been around Hesper much, so they could feel the two people's dynamic changes.It was as if a few days ago, they were still arguing and targeting each other, and now suddenly, they had become a well-known loving couple. For a moment, it felt a bit absurd.However, they also knew that Hesper and Rickard must have gone through a lot together. They had been in love and finally decided to acknowledge their emotions.Taki
