A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 

Rickard lowered his head and pressed his forehead to Hesper’s cheek. “Hesper, what can I do to prove myself? I was so wrong in the past, but you can’t judge me now based on what I did three years ago. I stand before you now. Can’t you see?” 

Rickard’s warm breath blew on Hesper’s neck. She let him finish with no expression, then moved away 

from his arms. 

“There’s no need to keep acting, Rickard. How many times do I have to say this? The old Hesper died. I want to take Renfrew away so that the people who hurt me will fall into some nameless abyss. This includes you, Rickard Duval.” 

The two left Ernest’s home dismayed. By the time Wendly found out that Rickard was there, they were 

gone. 

“Sir..” 

Ernest seemed to have aged a few years in that short time. He waved his hand. “There’s no point in us getting involved in the life of the young people. They need to figure things out themselves. Love is a lifelong dilemma…” 

To the outside world, Duval Group and Lane Holdings were in a tough battle and seemed to have dragged the smaller companies into it. It felt as though something terrible was going to happen at Genecity, and Zikmund felt it the most. 

His best friend seemed to really be triggered. 

“What? She really plans to fight for Renfrew’s custody?” 

Rickard had been exasperated for the past two days, and when he brought it up again, the veins on his forehead started to pulse. 

“I thought that it was weird she would willingly send Renfrew back. I guess it’s obvious now why she did 

that.” 

Zikmund wanted to commend Hesper because the Duvals never talked things through with her and took. Renfrew because they had the power to do so. 

If it wasn’t because Hesper was as good as she was, she probably would never get to see her son ever 

again. 

However, Zikmund still had to support Rickard because he was his best friend. 

“I don’t think she will stop until she gets her way, and she has the monetary support from the Lanes. It isn’t going to be easy for you.” 

Rickard wasn’t worried yet, but he was worried about Hesper. Even though they seemed to be on terrible terms, he could still tell that she didn’t mean everything that she said. 

Even if she didn’t, the Duvals really did treat her terribly. Other than taking Renfrew away and cutting him off, he would be alright with anything else.
