Semua Bab A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Bab 1421 - Bab 1430

Hesper silently spoke to herself in her mind. Compared to their previous encounters, Christopher seemed more vigilant this time. It was evident that he was avoiding her because he was unaware of the recent events. His sudden appearance now must have a reason behind it.Realizing this, Hesper locked her gaze onto Christopher's face. Christopher seemed to sense her scrutiny and chuckled, trying to switch her attention. "Ms. Rivera, you're staring at me quite intensely. I can't help but feel a little shy."Rickard was standing by, and people nearby who did not know them might misunderstand. However, Rickard paid him no mind. Realizing they were unaffected, Christopher moved past the topic and said, "So, what happened? You all look quite serious. Perhaps I've returned at an inconvenient time?"Liam frowned and looked at his brother. He could not quite fathom why his brother, when compared to his memory of him, now appeared so distant and unfamiliar. He felt that something was amiss ab

After that, Christopher turned around and left.Although the remaining people did not know what had happened to make the relationship between the two so strained, they chose not to do anything about it. As for Hesper, she only carried out a cursory investigation because she already knew it was Christopher behind it and did not need to waste time on such matters.Members of the Andersons were the first to step forward and quickly proved that they had nothing to do with this. Other Andersons who were with them followed suit. It was the first time they had seen Christopher show a somewhat angry expression, which was very different from his usual self.Briar was somewhat puzzled. He could not figure out why Hesper and Christopher might have a grudge against each other. Christopher had been neither high-profile nor ambitious these years. He was well-known for having a good older brother. He presented himself as an ambitionless young man and mostly spent his days wandering around or stayi

Although she did not know what Rickard meant exactly, she believed that he would not deliberately mislead her in such matters. So she hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Alright, I'll trust you this time. But if I see you covered in injuries again next time, I'll hate you."For Hesper, telling Rickard she hated him was the most extreme comment she could express. She only hoped that Rickard would think about her when making decisions.Rickard nodded solemnly and said, "I won't get hurt."Hesper nodded in return.The opening of the black market was just two days away. Lily's condition had stabilized considerably; Hesper figured that she could leave for a while as long as people could ensure that Lily took her medicine on time every day.When Liam learned that Hesper was going to the black market, he was somewhat surprised. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you going to the black market? But... I heard that the Andersons are going there. Are they the reason?"Hesper did not de

Frankie did not know what to do with her. Although Hesper probably would not care about what the neighbors would talk about her since they were only here temporarily, he could not just allow Sophia to kneel in front of their house."What about this, Ms. Sophia. I'll go inside and ask Madam. You stay here for now, and I'll bring you her response. Is that okay?" Frankie asked. Sophia knew that Frankie was soft-hearted, and she smiled with satisfaction."Sure, go ahead and ask."She was confident that Hesper would come out to see her.When Frankie entered the house, Hesper contemplated what else she needed to bring to the black market. Upon seeing Frankie's somewhat uneasy expression, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's happened?""Sophia is kneeling outside," Frankie replied.Hesper furrowed her brow slightly, and Frankie conveyed Sophia's words. Hesper was unfazed and replied, "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel for a while. I have other matters to attend to right now. I'll

"Ma'am, do you think she's telling the truth?"Hesper raised her eyebrow and said, "At least she has provided me with some information. If Chelsea is going to the black market, my speculations are correct. Besides, I just gave her a verbal agreement. Now that she can't go anywhere, she can't do anything to me even if I go back on my words."Seeing the cunning expression on Hesper's face, both Frankie and Kenji felt uneasy. Whenever she made such a face, it seemed like something bad was about to happen. Although it might not affect them directly, it was still unsettling. They both took a deep breath and nodded."We're almost done with the preparation for the black market. Frankie, although you're staying at home during this time, many things need your attention," Hesper said with clarity. "I don't know why, but it seems that Christopher has some interest in Sherese."Otherwise, he would not have targeted her in the first place. Now that she and Rickard were not there, it would be
