A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 

Before the two of them had the time to finish their conversation, Renfrew and his classmates had been disbanded by Ms. Zeelen. All of them went back to their respective parents and went home. 

Under the vast sunset, three extended shadows overlapped with the shadows of the camphor trees on both sides of the street. 

Hesper raised her head thoughtfully. Renfrew walked next to her, talking to Rickard about his life at the kindergarten. The warm sunlight shined on her face, and it looked as if it was coated with a layer of gold paint. 

It felt like everything that happened back then had been completely erased by time. 

When Hesper got home, Matthew was sitting in the living room. When he saw Hesper arriving, he cleared his throat twice lightly. 

“Matt?” Hesper was surprised and took a glance at the time. 

‘At this time, Matt would usually either be in the study or at the company. Why has he gone out of character and sat here waiting for me today…? Please don’t tell me that he’s here because of Rickard again.” 

Sure enough, Matthew lifted his gaze. 

“Did you go out with Rickard again today?” His tone sounded like he knew about the fact that she had gone to the kindergarten with Rickard and Renfrew to take part in the sports day. 

It also felt like he was waiting for this time to come to question her, and she was stuck in a position where confession would not get her any leniency and resistance would surely get her stricture, so she could only nod helplessly. 

“Renfrew has learned to be a little more gregarious in kindergarten. I’m his mother, so I think I should at least attend some of the kindergarten’s events when I have the time.” 

“Is it really for Renfrew’s growth?” 

Hesper nodded without hesitation. Matthew stood up and walked over with a different expression than usual, looking a little more solemn. “Hesper, don’t let revenge blind you and cause you to lose your judgment. Your feelings and emotions aren’t something that can be measured. You should understand this best, shouldn’t you?” 

Hesper was taken aback. “How do you know…” 

Remembering the phone call that she had with Matthew when she was drunk and the reason why Matthew insisted on staying there, Hesper froze for an instant then gave off a wry smile. “So, you already know about it.” 

“Yes, I know the ins and outs of it.” Matthew frowned. 

Hesper remained silent for a while then leaned against the wall and sighed. 

“This revenge plan of mine might sound ridiculous to you, but I only want to ruin him through this means.” Recalling Rickard’s rather bashful and cautious expression when he handed her the cake, the only emotion that she felt deep down was a scorching heartache. 

Matthew shook his head. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your plan, but while you’re setting him up to make him fall in love with you, can you really control your own emotions?” 

The night breeze was chilly, and Hesper lowered her gaze. “Yes.” 

Matthew looked at Hesper’s reluctance to listen to what he had to say and was a little anxious. Then what about Renfrew? I think he still values the relationship between you and his father very highly. So when you were out there carrying out your plan without care, did you think about your sont
