A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

“Forget it, I’m not comfortable with letting Ren stay with the Duvals.” She couldn’t help but feel worried when she thought about Julie and Sophia. “I should let Ren stay at my place. At least he wouldn’t get bullied.” 

“No.” Rickard immediately rejected the idea and looked at Hesper curiously. He hadn’t thought of what to say, so he just tilted his head. 

“But… mom, I’d be bored at home alone. Just let me come here. I’ll be fine!” Ren tugged at Hesper’s wrist 

as he hinted at Rickard. 

That was when Rickard noticed that Renfrew had the ability to change the tides. 

Hesper only cared about Renfrew’s safety, but it was logical. Renfrew could think for himself, so it would be boring for him to be alone. 

She was just a vague concept to Renfrew in the past, a mother who didn’t take care of her own child. How could she blame Renfrew for missing her? 

Hesper started feeling guilty when she thought of that 

“Alright then, but you need to be vigilant and remember to disinfect when you get home, alright?” 

“Okay!” 

Watching Renfrew and Hesper get so close gave Rickard emotions he never felt. Renfrew was the heir of the Duval Group. Even though Rickard loved him, he wouldn’t let him act like a child. 

Renfrew was a child… Was he too harsh on him in the past? 

“What’s on your mind?” Hesper’s voice brought him back to reality, and he saw her staring at him suspiciously. 

Rickard never zoned out before this because he was always focused, but in the past few days, Hesper noticed that he kept doing that and was curious about what was on his mind. 

From the moment she opened her eyes, she noticed that Rickard changed. 

She used to love him and hate him so deeply, but now everything seemed to have passed. She didn’t hate him as much anymore, but she no longer had feelings either. 

Rickard saved her but almost turned into an accomplice to the person who almost killed her. 

A life for a life, but feelings can’t be traded like that. Hesper didn’t have the time and energy for a relationship, especially not with a man who hurt her so badly in the past. 

“I’ll work in your room from tomorrow and take care of Ren.”
