A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 

As noon approached, Ernest invited the three to stay back for lunch. Wendy claimed that Hesper must give her current cooking skills a try, as they had not seen each other in ages. If they were to leave without eating a meal, Wendy would take it as blatant disrespect. 

Hesper could not argue with them and thus, agreed with the suggestion, as there was no urgent matter. that she had to attend to. 

However, her phone vibrated twice suddenly. Hesper frowned, lowered her head, and glanced at the notification that appeared on the screen. As expected it was a message from Julian, who had gone off the grid for a long time. 

“I’m sorry, Hesper. I didn’t see your message because some things came up. Professor Miles thinks that I should go and take a look at Mr. Duval Sr. first, but because of these incidents… I can’t show up now. I’ll explain this matter to you later. Is Mr. Duval Sr.’s condition very serious now? But I won’t be able to travel 

back for at least another two weeks.” 

“Hesper?” 

Hesper kept her head down, staring at her phone. 

Rickard felt a little dissatisfied toward a piece of gadget for no reason, but he did not express it. He just walked up to Hesper and grabbed her arm. “Let’s go in. It’s windy out here.” 

The weather was getting windy, and Hesper only wore a knitted skirt for the sake of looking fashionable and beautiful. It was indeed rather cold when the wind gusted through her. 

“Okay.” 

Hesper got into the mansion while typing, asking Julian to not worry too much as Ernest’s condition was relatively stable now. 

‘Julian rarely hides anything from me. After all, we’ve depended on each other so much since we were kids. However, this time, he can’t even reveal the true message that lies underneath his words… But that’s normal, as Julian isn’t good at lying. Some kind of trouble must’ve come up. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have. 

said that.’ 

Julian sent another message to Hesper. She was about to tap on it when Rickard jerked her sleeve.” Grandpa is talking to you.” 

“It isn’t something important. Wendy is just asking if there’s anything you really want to eat. She says that she’ll make whatever you want,” Ernest replied, disdaining Rickard’s petty tricks. 

Although Rickard was his grandson, he was also one of the people who did Hesper wrong back then. 

‘It would be a big mistake if this brat was only doing all this on a whim, without knowing the difference between an infatuation and love, only to hurt Hesper again right under my nose.” 

Hesper also felt a little embarrassed. At the end of the day, Wendy was her elder, and she felt sorry for letting her cook for her, so she took the initiative to say, “I’ve also learned to cook a few dishes in the past few years, Aunt Curie. Let me help you out in the kitchen. We could even catch-up a little while cooking together.”

Rickard originally wanted to go into the kitchen with her, but he did not know a thing about cooking. The only thing that he would be able to do is cause trouble.
