A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

“You…” Ernest sighed. “If you really are that obedient, then when didn’t you treat Hesper well when I asked you to?” 

“Grandpa…” Rickard’s throat was a little dry because he didn’t know what to say or where to start. 

In the end, all he said was, “I’ve done her wrong.”- 

“You know your mistake?” There was hope in Ernest’s old eyes as he helped Rickard up. “Well, what do you plan to do then?” 

Rickard didn’t understand what he meant. 

Ernest didn’t want to drag it on. “To be honest, I met Hesper before coming home. The child didn’t. complain to me. Rickard, she’s been loyal to you. Are you really just going to let her go?” 

“She… doesn’t need me anymore.” Rickard pressed his lips together. 

They all witnessed how much she had changed. She used to be sincere, that was true, but now she was a phoenix reborn and had probably forgotten about him. 

“No, I know the kiddo well enough. She was sincere and honest. You were someone she loved with all her heart, so she couldn’t have just let you go. You hurt her too much in the past, and that’s why she’s so cold toward you.” 

“Really?” Rickard was curious. 

“Now, find out what you really want and if you have feelings for her still,” Ernest said. “If you do, then you should do all you can to get her back. But if you don’t, I’ll treat her like my granddaughter, and you’ll go your separate ways from now on.” 

“I don’t know.” Rickard couldn’t give a good answer, but when he heard that they would go their separate ways, he felt something in his heart. 

Ernest reminded him, “Do you really not know? Or have you just not thought about this enough? I don’t believe that you’ve never felt anything for her. Otherwise, why haven’t you dated anyone ever since she left?” 

Rickard looked distraught. 

Ernest patted his shoulder. “Think about that. Think well and make sure you know how you feel. It’s never too late for our family heir to change his ways.” 

“I’ll think about it.” 

Rickard left the study and went back to his own room. All he could think about was Hesper. 

She was on her knees begging him three years ago, but now she looked happy. 

Let go? He probably could, but why did he feel unhappy when he realized they would be going their separate ways? 

He received a notification for a post. He set it up just for her.
