Chapter 23 Rickard came the next day. Hesper had not slept the entire night. She only managed to fall asleep in the morning for a short while before someone kicked open the door strenuously. The man removed her blanket crudely, his anger still not vented. “Wake up! How do you still have the nerve. to sleep?” Hesper opened her eyes in a daze, and there was still drowsy confusion in her eyes. She could only see the people before her clearly after a few seconds. It was Rickard and Juniper. He held her hand in an intimate manner that made him seem like he was defending her. Hence, the moment Hesper had been anticipating felt like a joke. She felt bitterness in her throat but forcefully kept up her appearance and refused to show her emotion. “What’s going on?” Rickard said through clenched teeth, “How do you still have the nerve to ask me what’s going on? You vilified Juniper, and now that the truth has been revealed, you’re supposed to apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness.” Hesper wondered if she misheard him. “What?” He was actually asking her to apologize to Juniper. Rickard enunciated his words clearly and said in an especially cold manner, “Think about Juniper’s status and think about yourself. Do you think that you can vilify the heiress of the Wights so casually? Moreover, you’re the one at fault in this incident, so it isn’t considered unfair for you to apologize to her.” Hesper raised her head and burst out laughing incredulously. “Heh–heh…” Look, this is my wonderful husband who only ever doubts me and hurts me. “Don’t even think about trying to make me apologize!” “Hesper, follow my order or face the consequences!” Rickard was infuriated as well. Juniper was tremendously aggrieved because of this incident, and all he wanted was for Hesper to apologize so they could let bygones be bygones. Why couldn’t she do it? Juniper lowered her gaze and pretended as if she was aggrieved. “Rickard, if she doesn’t want to do it, forget it. Maybe my presence just bothers her. Enduring a little grievance is okay with me.” “No, she must apologize to you.‘ Rickard was very determined, and he took a step forward to clutch Hesper’s wrist. It felt as if the pain came from deep within her bones. Hesper’s face turned pale from the pain, but she still looked at him without blinking her eyes. “Rickard, you and I are married. I risked my life to bear your child. Instead of forcing me to apologize as soon as you came, why haven’t you asked me what I wanted to tell you yesterday?” Rickard remembered Benji’s remark about Hesper insisting on him visiting the hospital. Her remark had sounded serious, which was very rare for her. However, he had been too busy comforting Juniper that he had no time to attend to the matter. Now that he was here, he had plenty of time. He pulled a long face and said, “We can discuss what you wanted to tell me yesterday after you’re done apologizing.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… “Heh.” Hesper laughed in a self–mocking manner, her eyes glistening with tears. “It’s fine. So, you just want me to apologize, right? I’ll do it then.” She struggled free from Rickard’s grip, wiped away her tears, and stared straight at Juniper. “Come here so I can apologize to you.” Juniper did not wish to get close to her, but Hesper’s apology was the result of her feigning her grievance and flirting with Rickard for a long time the previous night. It would be suspicious for her to reject the apology now. Juniper forced a smile. “Hesper, you can apologize from there. I can hear you.” “How would that be all right?” … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 23” »

During childbirth, she suffered from excessive bleeding and her life was at stake. Her mother-in-law made a huge fuss outside the delivery room. “Save my precious grandchild!” She watched as her husband looked at her coldly and said to the doctor mercilessly, “Save the baby.” She was heartbroken at that very moment and swore to herself that if she could live through this, she would get a divorce!After the divorce, Hesper was surrounded by admirers and had troops of suitors following her. Rickard panicked!He scooped up the woman into his arms from her sea of suitors and pinned her against the wall. His extremely gorgeous face was tainted with regret. “Be good and listen to me. Let’s get married again tomorrow!”Hesper sneered. “Mr. Duval, I don’t love you anymore. Please have some self-respect!”
Chapter 22 “So what if I am? Go and complain if you can. See if my brother is willing to humor you!” Sophia cracked a provocative smile while Madam Duval reminded her from the side, “Don’t speak too much to the little b*tch. Who knows if she has been plotting on her own? It would be bad if she were to record the conversation.” Hesper pursed her lips. She was indeed planning on doing that, but she did not have the chance yet. Madam Duval grunted and said, “Hesper, consider this incident a lesson to you. It would be best for you to keep your wicked ideas to yourself. Otherwise, no one will save you next time!” As spoke, she left gracefully with Sophia. Hesper did not have the courage to let her guard down. Sophia and Juniper had already been bold enough to try to kill her, so there was no telling what they would do. She had to do something to make Rickard believe her, or she would be living in fear from that day onward. She pulled out her phone to call Rickard. Her call was rejected once, twice, then the phone was turned off. Hesper felt her heart sink lower and lower. She had forgotten that Rickard was off comforting Juniper. How could he possibly have time to pick up her call? Hesper dialed Benji’s phone in pain and said to him with unprecedented seriousness, “Benji, we’ve been acquainted with each other for a few years, right? I’ve never begged you for anything, but I’m begging you to do me a favor today. Please have Rickard come to the hospital no matter what.” “Mrs. Duval, uh…” Benji was very troubled as well, but he understood Hesper’s living condition in the Duvals‘ residence. She even almost lost her life this time… “I’ll try.” Benji put away his phone and glanced at Rickard and Juniper standing not far away before him. They were talking about something, and during the conversation, Juniper actually threw herself into Rickard’s arms, but Rickard was not repulsed by her action. Benji hesitated before he walked over and said softly, “Sir, Mrs. Duval called. She insisted on you paying a visit to the hospital today.” “Rickard, you promised me that you’d keep me company earlier.” Juniper started crying again. Rickard could not bear to reject her due to his guilt, so he gave an order to Benji by saying, “Tell her to behave herself and not to play tricks again. I’ll visit her when I’m free.” Benji opened his mouth to say something but saw Juniper lean closer and closer to Rickard. In the end, he only heaved a soft sigh and left. In the hospital, Hesper was still waiting for Rickard. She thought about how the sudden departure of the baby’s doctor had created opportunities. If she could figure out the crux behind it, she might still be able to convince him to believe her.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… She waited day and night, but even after the sky had completely darkened, Rickard did not show up. In the end, Benji notified her, “Don’t wait, Mrs. Duval. Sir…isn’t coming.” Hesper did not speak but laid in the soundless room with tears streaming profusely down her face. She should have known, but she had refused to give up the idea. Rickard had no regard for her. He didn’t in the past and he wouldn’t now that Juniper was back. In fact, thinking about the phone–checking task, Benji may not have managed to find anything, but if she could send the phone to a specialized store, the professional would know if there was a voice clip. However, Rickard had chosen not to do that and instead condemned her right away! Meanwhile, she could only endure all the unjust treatments in silence. No one would stand up for her or believe
Chapter 21 The reply she received was the man waving his hand in a cold, dismissive manner. Hesper’s world turned gray and dark once again. The doctor determined the diagnosis soon. “Sir, Mrs. Duval has some bleeding in her body that caused nerve compression, perhaps due to the severe injuries she suffers from. This has resulted in her hallucination and disorientation.” In other words, perhaps the voice clip mentioned by her never existed from the start and everything was a result of Hesper’s hallucination. Meanwhile, Juniper stepped forward and said in a grieving tone, “If that’s the case, why is she only targeting Sophia and me? We didn’t provoke her or anything.” The doctor was already bribed by Madam Duval from the start. He said as he was ordered by her, “It is very normal for the patient to subconsciously regard her most hated person as her enemy during the hallucination episodes. In fact, the patient will even take herself for the innocent party and attempt to deal with the issues in real life through this method.” “I see!” Sophia said in a sarcastic tone. “So she regards us as enemies on usual days and that’s why she staged her own play in this incident?” “You can put it that way.” The doctor nodded. Sophia immediately tutted twice. “I didn’t think Hesper loathed Juni and me so much that she’d labeled us as murderers even when she’s so severely injured! She must have gone through so much trouble to do that!” Next to her, Juniper said with reddened eyes, “But I didn’t do anything wrong. When she told me she loved Rickard in the past, I went away so she could achieve her aim. Why is she still vilifying me like this?” Rickard kept quiet and observed everything until this point. He said to Juniper, “I’m sorry that I doubted you without figuring out the situation. I’m sorry that you’ve been wronged.” “Don’t mention it anymore. You know that I’ll never decline your request. Let alone checking my phone, I wouldn’t even say a word if you wanted to examine my identity…” Her eyes and nose reddened; the sight of her was pitiful. “I’m a person too and I can’t accept that a man who used to love me very much would suspect that I’m a murderer!” Juniper cried and ran out of the room. Sophia urged from the side, “Dick, what are you still doing here? Go after Juni, quick! She didn’t sleep all night yesterday, and now she’s extremely aggrieved! I don’t want her to do something foolish to herself.” Upon hearing that, Rickard’s expression changed drastically, and he went after her immediately. Madam Duval and Sophia were left in the room. They exchanged a glance with each other and landed their icy cold gaze on the bed.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates… The effect of the tranquilizer was wearing off by now and Hesper was regaining consciousness gradually. “Don’t look for him anymore. Dick is going after Juni to apologize to her. What? Are you disappointed?” Sophia walked toward her step by step, her eyes glistening with a malicious glow. Almost. The b*tch almost convinced my brother. It’s fortunate that we were well prepared. Otherwise, we would have already been exposed by now. Hesper looked at her coldly, having no idea what transpired during the time she was unconscious. “What did you do this time?” Sophia took sick pleasure in stirring up Hesper’s disgust. “Nothing much. The doctor determined your diagnosis of amnesia and disorientation, so every word spoken by you can possibly be due to hallucination.” Hesper felt her heart sink instantly. … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 21” »
Chapter 20 Rickard took a deep glance at her and casted a look at Benji so he would handle it. However, it was at this exact moment that a mocking, female voice was heard. “There’s no need to trouble yourself.” Sophia and Juniper entered the room. Hesper appeared to be agitated once again as soon … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 20” »
Chapter 19 Rickard did not answer the question. Sophia and Juniper accused him of not believing them, but everyone told a different version of the story. Who should he believe then? “Rickard! It was you who asked me, but you now won’t believe me?” Hesper bit her lower lip tightly. She realized that since the … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 19” »
Chapter 18 However, they did not expect Rickard to actually assign a bodyguard to watch her on a 24-hour basis. Let alone a man, not even a fly could fly near her. Sophia and Juniper did not manage to figure out a way through the entire night. Just as they were at a loss of … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 18” »
Chapter 17 Sophia and Juniper were so terrified of his icy cold tone that their bodies shivered. However, they had always been skilled at putting on an act.

Chapter 16 “Hesper!” Rickard’s eyes widened in shock at that very moment. He shakily stretched out his hand, but Hesper’s gaze remained locked on the bundle before her. She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and said, “My baby… She wanted to check on the baby, but no matter how hard she tried, she … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 16” »
Madam Duval and Sophie refused to drop the matter. “So now you know how to behave yourself? Weren’t you so formidable yesterday that you beat up someone? Maybe karma struck and the baby is sick because of his trouble-making mother!” “Criticize me all you want but not my baby.” Hesper bit her lower lip tightly, … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 15” »
“Don’t question anymore, Mrs. Duval. I just happened to fall.” How hard must one fall in order to be injured to this extent? She should have expected this to happen. Madam Duval and Sophia loathed her, so it was only natural that they would discriminate against Wanda for saving her. Perhaps Wanda was tormented so … Read More “A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Book – Chapter 14” »
