Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Matthew’s eyes were dark. Even though her words were harsh, his chest felt warm when she leaned into his chest. He felt her tears. “I’m not crying, I’m just happy.”Hesper sniffled and tried to force a smile, then got out of his embrace. Matthew didn’t call her out but instead calmly said, “My plane will be flying out today, so this is all I can do to help. What do you plan to do after this?”“It’s alright. You’ve already helped me a lot.”Hesper sincerely thanked him. If it weren't for him, Rickard wouldn’t have let her walk away so easily. So even thought she didn’t have a plan, she wouldn’t want to trouble him any longer. “I’ll spend some time at my friend’s place and find a stable job.”“That’s a good plan.” Matthew nodded and glanced at his watch. His plane would be taking off soon. “Goodbye.” He turned around and got into the car. Hesper was still smiling and waving goodbye when the door closed. Matthew didn’t say anything. He could tell that Hesper was just prete

Matthew took a seat with a cold expression. “What makes you think she can’t?”“Sir, Master Lane isn’t someone you can easily google. He would definitely look into Ms. Rivera's past. What if he found out—”Before Tanner could finish, Matthew cut him off. “So you need to wipe her records clean before he starts his investigation.”“Sir…” He was going to say something but halted when Matthew glared at him. He had been around Matthew since he was in his teen years, so he knew Matthew very well. Knowing that the man had already made up his mind, he reluctantly said, “Sir, it’s unlike you to be so impulsive. Could you tell me why you act so differently around Ms. Rivera?”Matthew’s hand froze. He didn’t know why. Whether it was looks or her status, it was nowhere close to the standard that would make him act impulsively. He didn’t even want to get involved most of the time, but every time that happened, he would think of his sister. “Maybe because she looks like my sister.” Tanner t

“I’ve told you many times not to run around the garden. Didn't you hurt yourself enough the previous time when you fell? Did you forgot about that already?”Ren, feeling sad, waved his hand. “No no, daddy. What are you doing outside? I’m just playing with Uncle Benji. Right, Uncle Benji?”“Yes, we’re just playing.” Benji forced a smile that looked worse than crying, but he didn’t dare defy the child. Once, he didn’t play along, and soon after that, the child planned his revenge and got him good. If it weren't for Rickard walking by and saving him, he might still be stuck in a tree. Rickard saw through their pretense and glared at Ren. “Go play by yourself. I need to speak to Uncle Benji.”“Okay,” the child quickly replied. He would say yes as long as he didn't get punished. In the study. Benji wiped the sweat off his forehead and politely said, “Mr. Duval, our partnership with Lane Holdings is ending, but I heard that the person who took over this project is very enthusiasti

Rickard scoffed and left with Ren. Sophia started panicking and immediately went to talk to Juniper. Emperion, Reverie Villa. Hesper quietly pruned the branches of her rose plant. Three of her assistants followed behind her and held up all kinds of tools. They were all very respectful. In the past three years, Hesper had become Rachael Lane. Master Lane loved her, and with Matthew's support, she became an important person. When she first came to Emperion, she lived in Reverie Villa. He gifted it to her in the second year she was there and even let her name it. “Hesper.” Matthew got out of the car behind her and walked over with his assistant, Tanner. When Hesper saw how the car’s tires almost ran over the rose branches, she frowned. “Matthew, I’ve told you so many times. You can’t drive your car to the garden. You’ll hurt the plants.”“I’m sorry.” Matthew was nice about it. In the past three years, his relationship with Hesper became like that of actual siblings, and he

“Could the flight be delayed?” Benji asked. They both walked forward, not noticing a woman with curly red hair in a black dress and sunshades who walk past them. At that moment, Rickard felt something. He turned around and saw the woman walking over to a Porsche parked by the road. “Benji, does she… look like Hesper?”“What? Mrs. Duval?” Benji looked over too. However, her emanation and outfits were very different from hers. How could that be her?“Mr. Duval, are you mistaken? Why would she show up here?”“You’re right…” Rickard took a deep breath, thinking that he imagined it because he was fatigued recently. “Let’s go in and take a look.” The two walked over. No one noticed that the woman who got into the Porsche had lowered the window and showed half of her pretty profile. “It’s been a while, Rickard Duval.” The face behind the sunshades really did belong to Hesper. “Let’s go. I need to rest at the hotel.” At her words, the driver drove away. Rickard and Benji w
