A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 

Hesper already decided to give up on this man when her heart went cold in the past, but she didn’t know why the moment pained hit her. Her mind kept going back to him. 

She remembered how he changed his arrogant gaze at the aquarium like he was looking at her as an equal and was gentle as if protecting a flower in the wind. 

“Hesper, give me another chance to make it up to you. 

Hesper’s tears started falling like pearls from a necklace that snapped. The woman next to her frantically wiped her tears away. The noises outside faded away and Hesper cried there in silence. 

Hesper didn’t have a lot of time left to go down memory lane. She couldn’t repay Matthew for what he did for her, so she tried her best to quickly get into her role as Ms. Lane and start helping with managing the company. 

All these memories that she had suppressed came back out. 

The first time she saw Rickard was when Hesper was brought out from the orphanage by Ernest. 

The government-run orphanage wasn’t a great place but it wasn’t terrible either. Hesper never tried to fight for anything, so she didn’t stand out. 

What did Rickard look like then? 

All his peers would probably take second glances at him, in a white shirt and standing straight in front of grandpa as his eyes fell on her. 

How he looked at her was like a dream, making her fall for him for the next ten years. 

“Hesper… Hesper?” 

“Wake up, Hesper!” 

Hesper frowned when she heard a familiar voice, then slowly opened her eyes. 

“Hesper?” 

The dust danced around behind the person and Hesper felt as if someone was holding her back with an arm behind her neck. Her eyes were still adjusting as she saw a pair of dreamy eyes. 

“Don’t fall asleep. Look at me, Hesper.” 

Hesper put in more effort to open her eyes after hearing the familiar voice, but the pain behind her back. 

had lessened. 

…I don’t want to listen to you. You’re a bad person.. 

Rickard looked at Hesper who had her eyes closed. The scene from three years ago suddenly popped up in his mind. Hesper had her eyes closed just like this and was covered in blood. 

That was when he suddenly realized that the pity he gave her was more like charity and emotions that he didn’t make clear. It must have been painful and torturous for Hesper. 

When her life was in danger, she still protected the people who hurt her. Even when a story that was filled with holes was presented to him, he still refused to believe her. The woman that was always behind him was dead. 

How could he possibly ask her for another chance?
