A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love By Oopsie Daisy Chapter 2

Hesper could not help trembling from the cold just from listening to Rickard’s voice. She bit her lower lip and said, “Sure, you can propose it then.”

Rickard’s deep, attractive voice was filled with a mocking tone, “Hesper, what trick do you have up your sleeve this time? Your playing hard to get trick is old.”

Hesper knew that he would not believe her so she said anxiously, “I’m serious, Rickard. I don’t want anything…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a strange man’s voice come from the call. It was as if the person was reminding Rickard. “Mr. Duval, Ms. Wight is here.”

Hesper’s hand unconsciously held the phone tighter. She felt her chest tighten for a moment.

Before she could recover from her surprise, Rickard had already impatiently hung up the call, leaving only the busy signal beeping.

Ms. Wight? Juniper is back.

If Hesper was a pile of mud on the floor to Rickard, then Juniper was the pure moonlight in his heart.

Had it not been for that accident, Hesper believed that Juniper would be Mrs. Duval by now.

It was no wonder Rickard hated her so much.

While Hesper was an orphan adopted by Mr. Duval Sr., Juniper was the heiress of the Wights with respectable status, a perfect match for Rickard.

Hesper should have yielded the position of Mrs. Duval to her from the start.

Hesper thought she had accepted it, but for some unknown reason, she felt her heart wrench in more pain.

Rickard hung up Hesper’s call and took a cold glance at the secretary who spoke earlier. “Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me when I’m on a call?”

Terrified, the secretary hastily lowered his head apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mr. Duval. It was my fault for deciding without consulting you prior.”

He was under the assumption that Rickard prioritized Juniper, so he lost his sense of propriety and informed Rickard in advance. He had not expected that his action would anger Rickard.

“Don’t do it again.” Rickard retracted his sharp gaze and let the matter go since the secretary conducted himself well at work. “Where’s Juniper?”

Feeling relieved, the secretary answered in a very respectful tone with a tinge of admiration. “Ms. Wight is waiting for you at the lounge.”

Rickard glanced at his phone to find that Hesper had not called him again. He furrowed his eyebrows ever so slightly. “Let’s go.”

Hesper wants a divorce?

That’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!

How can a woman like Hesper possibly be willing to get a divorce and shed the status of the young Mrs. Duval? Didn’t she spare no effort in getting me to sleep with her so she could marry me and bear the family’s heir?

She’s only playing a lowly trick to get my attention.

Rickard sniggered. He would never fall for Hesper no matter what trick she played. All her efforts to torment him would only go to waste.

…

“What happened?” Dressed in a lab coat, Julian Zink frowned in pity as he looked at the scald on Hesper’s face and oral cavity.
