A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 

After the interlude, the meal got carried to the end by Nathaniel’s exquisite social skills. The moment Hesper saw Nathaniel, she knew that she would not have to talk anymore tonight. 

That was Nathaniel in a nutshell. He might seem to be a soft pushover on the surface, but his ability to look after a family as huge as the Tuckers was absolutely inseparable from his exceptional observation skills and eloquence. 

The group of people went out, and Jessie could not help but stare at Nathaniel, fangirling over the way he carried himself throughout the whole meal. 

“Why did you come here out of the blue? And don’t you feel tired after bluffing to so many people?” Hesper returned the suit jacket to Nathaniel. “Let me guess, Renee and Isaac must’ve told you something.” 

“Bingo.” The corners of Nathaniel’s lips curled slightly upward. “But it’s true that I passed by your car downstairs and Matthew did give that reminder, so you should keep this coat for now. You can return it to me when we see each other next time.” 

“I’m in good health. I’m confident that I won’t get sick. But… Alright, alright.” 

“No no no, that’s not alright!” Jessie jumped out from the side and wrapped her arms around Hesper’s. ” Don’t you think that you have a lot of explaining to do?! This, this man, what about him? Is he really your 

fiancé?” 

Everything that happened tonight was like a dream to Jessie, and every scene during the meal actually went in directions that Jessie did not expect. 

“Is she your friend? She seems… very lively.” 

Hesper covered her forehead, stood still, and introduced the two of them to each other, “This is Jessie, my best friend in college and the daughter of my mentor. And this is Nathaniel, my friend.” 

“He’s just a friend?” Jessie was a little disappointed. She genuinely felt that Hesper and Nathaniel seemed to make a good match and that Hesper had found herself a new man to rely on these past few 

years. 

Hesper was a little helpless. “Stop worrying about me already. Why can’t I choose to live my life alone?” 

Nathaniel stood on the side. He did not admit nor deny anything that came out of Jessie’s mouth, and as soon as the two of them stopped talking, he said, “I’ve attended my business affair in Genecity, and I’m heading back to Emperion tonight. I’m delighted to have been able to sit down and have a meal with your today. It has been quite some time since I last felt so relaxed.” 

In fact, Hesper felt very relaxed whenever she was with Nathaniel too. She just did not have to think about too many things when he was around. 

“That fast? Why don’t you stay in Genecity for a while longer?” 

Nathaniel shook his head. “I want to too, but sadly, time waits for no one. I’ll take my leave now.” 

On the other side of the city, Michelle and Lucy went back home in the same car, and their expressions looked rather distorted from anger. 

“What happened to Hesper these last few years? Why has she changed so much?”
