A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 

Back in Genecity, Rickard was rather anxious. 

After settling down some time ago, Rickard sent Renfrew back to kindergarten to continue his classes as per what Hesper wanted, but another problem emerged very soon. 

“Everyone’s parents will be there.” 

After all this while, Renfrew had become more courageous when facing Rickard. He was currently sitting on his little stool and complaining sternly. “Sports day is going to be held on the weekend, and mommy is participating in the competition and can’t be there with me. So, if you’re not going to attend the event either, no one will care about me. 

“If that’s the case, I’ll be so lonely and so sad, I’ll cry through the whole day and finally die of sadness.” Renfrew sighed. The statement indeed consisted of a handful of exaggerations, but Rickard could not help but feel a little helpless. 

“It actually took a lot of hard work for Renfrew to be able to blend in with the other children in kindergarten like a normal child. Now that there’s such an activity in the kindergarten, it’s an even better opportunity for Renfrew to join the other children in some games too.” 

“Okay, I’ll come.” 

It was not that Rickard did not want to go to the sports day with Renfrew, but he had never gone through such an event, so he did not know how to tackle these problems with Renfrew. 

For him, stepping into the unknown was equivalent to making mistakes, but the upbringing that he had received since he was a kid told him that he must never make mistakes. 

“Then that’s a pinky promise.” Renfrew stood up and locked his pinky with Rickard’s. “Thank you, Daddy!” 

Back in the competition, the preliminary round had an individual assignment. Participants were to complete a design piece that qualified for the competition as quickly as possible. 

Hesper had been tested for her hands-on capability many times back in college, so this task was too simple for her. On the other hand, Celine had also gone through too many tournaments, so completing a design quickly was as easy as ABC for her. 

The first round had only managed to eliminate some students who had yet to graduate and had no practical experience. 

Michelle was also a little surprised when she saw Hesper’s skillful movements- 

Originally, she thought that Hesper had not been doing anything related to fashion design for so many years, and she had only been studying the theories and knowledge that they studied back when they were both in college, so her practical skills must be a lot weaker than her theory, but the reality instantly 

smacked her in the face. 

Hesper did better than most people. 

The whole game was broadcasted live, and Ernest and Wendy watched the show with great joy. 

“I knew it. The clothes that the young lady sewed when she was still a kid already looked great, so this must be a piece of cake for her.” Wendy recalled that when Hesper first arrived at the Duvals’ residence, she was reluctant to throw away her clothes even when they were already extremely old, so she would sew them herself, covering the worn-out spots with a few small flowers. It was obvious that she had not learned how to do it before that, but those patterns still looked true to life. 

understand that Grandpa did so to show me his support. I also understand that the Duvals don’t care about such a small amount of money. Thus, I’ll accept the tip this time, but I won’t allow it to happen again. 

The news related to Hesper naturally made its way into Rickard’s ear. When he saw that Ernest had spent so much money with his credit card, he felt that something had gone wrong, but he did not expect the money to be directed to Heaper. 

This amount of money was really nothing to him, so Rickard did not plan to talk to his grandfather about this matter. After all, he only wanted to show his care and support for Hesper in his own way. 

After the first round, originally, there wasn’t supposed to be much time for the contestants to rest. 

However, the live broadcast format received extremely strong and positive responses from the fans, and many audiences and spectators also began to pay attention to the tournament. So after some discussions, the competition that was originally supposed to last a month was changed into an episode- based match to attract more attention over time. 

Before leaving the venue, Hesper helped Celine export all the photos on her cell phone onto her personal phone, then bid her goodbye temporarily. 

At the same time, the contestants’ personal short interviews that had been filmed before the competition started also aired through multiple media and online platforms amidst the audiences’ demands.
