A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 65

Chapter 65

"But Dick..." The person that worried Sophia the most was Rickard.

'Ever since Hesper left, although Rickard hasn't been bringing the matter up too frequently, he's been rather depressed all the time. Apart from that, he's also been ignoring Juniper's courtship all these years. 'Judging from all these signs, it's really difficult for me to not suspect that Dick has actually fallen for that b*tch, Hesper!'

At a glance, Madam Duval instantly knew what she was thinking. She then picked up a pair of scissors, trimmed off one of the branches menacingly, and said angrily, "What are you afraid of? You and Rickard are brother and sister, and you're the daughter of the Duvals.. I'll see to it personally if anyone dares to lay a finger on you!"

Having heard Madam Duval's guarantee, Sophia felt slightly relieved.

The two went on talking about possible countermeasures, and she gradually forgot about the threat that Hesper might pose.

"Daddy, can I come in?" Renfrew's voice came from the bedroom door.

Rickard turned around and saw a tiny kid standing at the door; he did not know how long he had been there.

"Why are you here?" Rickard waved at him, motioning him to come nearer. The boy scurried over with his short legs, but his usually lively face now looked a little empty and lost.

"Daddy, were you guys talking about mommy just now?"

Rickard remained quiet for a moment and then nodded. "Yes."

"I heard that uncle saying that mommy has gone to meet him. Does

that mean that mommy has come back here? Can I see her soon?"

Rickard's heart ached.

'I rarely talked about Hesper with him these few years, and this little. rascal has always acted so unconcernedly all this while. This is my first time discovering that he's always been thinking about his biological mother.'

"I promise you that I'll replace Mommy as soon as possible so that you and Mommy can meet each other and be together."

"Thank you, Daddy..." The little fella nodded sullenly and wrapped his arms around that of his daddy. In this silent bedroom, the father and son leaned against each other, thinking about the same person. At this time, Hesper was on the phone with Julian.

"Hesper, why did you go back to Genecity without even giving me a call beforehand? Have you forgotten how Rickard tortured you back then? If he were to replace out that you've gone back, perhaps..." "Don't worry, I'm no longer the old me. I won't let others walk all over me anymore." Hesper's gaze looked calm, and she was even giving off an abstruse smirk. "What's more, I came back for revenge this time around. Even if he doesn't come looking for me, I'll go looking for him too. Sooner or later, we'll eventually bump into each other."

"Hesper, you..." Julian sighed, he sounded obviously very disapproving, and finally said helplessly, "I know you just can't get over what happened back then, but even if you want revenge, you should've called me to go back with you. You're going to face those bastards from the Duvals alone. How do you expect me to be at ease?"

"Aren't you going to follow Professor Miles abroad to study in a medical institution? This is a great opportunity for you, so I can't pull you back with my plan."

"No matter how good the opportunity is, it's not as important as your safety!"

Hesper felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Throughout these three years, Julian and Matthew took meticulous care of her as if they were her elder brothers; that was how she made her way through those difficult days and nights. Now that she had grown stronger, it was time for her to give back to

them.

"lan, you're Professor Miles's best student. So many people have tried to get their hands on this opportunity, but Professor Miles values you more than all those people and picked you to go with him. If you were to reject his invitation at this juncture, he'd be very disappointed."

Thinking of his professor who had devoted his whole life to medical research, Julian's attitude softened a little. "You're right. But please remember that you must come back safely." "Alright. I promise." Hesper chuckled.

However, after hanging up the phone call, the hilarity in her eyes faded little by little.

'Not only will I return safely, but I also want those people to pay for what they did to me in a hundred folds.'
