A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 34

Hesper stood in front of Julian.

Rickard raised his brow as the air grew cold around them. “Hesper Rivera, do you have any idea what

you’re doing?”

“I do.” She raised her chin and met his dark gaze. “Ian helped me out. a great deal. No one can kick

him out.”

“What if I insist?” Rickard’s gaze was so sharp it could cut someone.

Julian didn’t want to put Hesper in a tough spot, so he walked forward. “There’s no need for scare

tactics here. I’ll leave if you take good care of her. I don’t want to see her in the hospital again.

However, I will give you a piece of advise. It’s best for you to find out. what happened before you come

in with your holier-than-thou attitude.”

Rickard squinted because he could tell if there was a hidden meaning. After Julian left, he asked,

“What did he mean? What happened?”

“You don’t know?” Hesper was surprised because she thought that he was there after finding out what

had happened.

Benji immediately explained. “Mr. Duval cares about your health, so he has been in contact with your

doctor. When he received a call from the hospital saying that you were in a weird situation, he

came over.”

“Benji, shut up!” Rickard glared at him as if blaming him for saying too much.

Rickard paused, but Hesper knew the answer from his hesitation.

She chuckled. “I guess you just didn’t want to pick up my calls.”

“No, Mr. Duval…”

“Enough, I’m tired.” Hesper cut Benji off. She had given up so there was no need to hear them

pretend.

“I’m alright, so you can leave if there’s nothing else you want to say.”

“You’re chasing me away?” The man balled up his fists because he didn’t know what she was doing.

He had lowered his ego and come to see her. Was she expecting more?

Rickard took a deep breath, then said, “I have no time to beat around the bush with you. What’s

wrong?”

“Nothing. I’m fine.” Hesper didn’t want to continue the conversation, so she turned her back to him.

Rickard stood there for a few seconds then scoffed and said, ” Unbelievable!” And walked out.

The door closed.

Hesper’s long lashes fluttered. She wasn’t unbelievable, she just didn’t have proof.

The two men escaped, so no matter what she said, Rickard wouldn’t believe her, and he might even

think that she was trying to frame his old flame, the one that got away.

Rether than setting herself up, she chose to stay quiet.

In the corridor, Rickard was furious. He felt regret. If he knew that this woman was so clueless, he

wouldn’t have come over, even if it was for the sake of his child.

She was still very sharp-tongued, so she was probably fine.
