A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 632

Rickard's gaze changed and he lost the usual calmness. "You do remember me. Why are you so standoffish then? Do you remember the past?"

Seeing how Rickard reacted to her words, Hesper's mouth curved into a smile. "It's evident that I don't remember. I don't want to remember you either... It looks like our past wasn't all sunshine and butterflies, so if I did you wrong, you could take the chance to forget about me."

Hestia pointed at her heart, with her fair finger resting on her red dress, making it stand out. "However, my heart tells me it's the other way around."

Rickard frowned as Hestia stood, looked down at him, and nodded courteously. "Even though I'm a tourist here, I'll pay extra attention to the partnership with Duval Group. That way we both can feel confident. I'm afraid I'll be bothering you."

She then turned and left Rickard watching her as he balled up his fist.

"How did it go, Mr. Duval?" Benji walked over when he saw Hestia walking away. "What did Ms. Lane say to you? Her expression doesn't show that she wasn't able to remember anything. Do you think she's pretending?"

Rickard shook his head. "She really doesn't remember, but I think she knows she lost her memory. She doesn't want to remember... Hesper is rejecting me."

Benji scratched his head because this was expected. From what Benji knew, Hesper always fancied Rickard. Even if he couldn't tell, Benji could see it clearly.

Even if she lost her memories, there must be some remnants of memories about him, which would be normal.

"As long as she stays, she'll remember sooner or later," Benji said to make him feel better. "If you think about it, Ms. Lane forgetting the past could be a good thing. Don't you want to be nicer to her before her memory recovers?"

Rickard frowned. "What do you mean?"

Benji shook his head at how dense Rickard was. He leaned closer and said, "If you're nice to her now, she'll have a good impression of you! She might fall in love with you again before her memories recover, and when it does, you will get back together again!"

Rickard hesitated after hearing what Benji said.

Hesper wasn't someone who would be moved by sweet nothings. Furthermore, 'Hestia', who didn't have her memories, looked like someone who was opinionated and mature. Most importantly, Hestia wasn't fond of him.

That was a problem.

Rickard had a feeling that 'Hestia' would be a hundred times harder to deal with compared to Hesper. When she said she was going to pay attention to their partnership, it reminded him of Hesper when she had plans in Emperion and Genecity.

She looked like she had a bone to pick with him.

People who knew Hesper saw her standing not too far away and looked toward Rickard in shock. People who didn't know her were smitten by her looks.

Rickard turned around and realized that her return could be a bad thing.

When he saw Hesper 'resurrect', Rickard frowned. Nathaniel hadn't stopped in the past year and instead started to make moves in Emperion and Genecity.

Hesper's death seemed to be the reason Nathaniel lost his mind. He no longer had a reason to pretend, so he caused countless deaths and financial issues, attacking other companies. He had caused many people to go into bankruptcy and ruined a lot of families.
