A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 

She had the right to turn it down. 

She was almost done talking, so she made up an excuse to escape. When she left, she saw Nathaniel and Matthew standing together, so she waved to them then turned and left. 

Hesper couldn’t be sure she would be able to maintain her smile if she kept getting asked about her marriage. 

Everyone split after Hesper walked away and Arthur saw Nathaniel there. That was when Matthew and Simon went over. 

“Happy birthday, Uncle.” 

Simon wasn’t interested in blending in with the crowd, so he only walked over with the present for Arthur when that happened. It was a tea set, nothing too lavish. Arthur didn’t really like the tea set he had before this, so this gift was just perfect. 

He didn’t say if he was happy or unhappy about the gift but instead just placed it on the table and asked, “Are you going to stay here for a while, or are you leaving soon?” 

“I came back for your birthday,” Simon said. “You know that I don’t have much going on here, and I have something to get to when I get back.” 

“You’re just not doing proper work!” Arthur tapped his cane on the floor and cleared his throat. “If your dad knew that this is how you’re living life, he would climb out of his grave to give you a knock on your head.” 

Simon didn’t know what to do. “My psychologist clinic overseas is well known now. Even though. it’s nowhere near as successful as Lane Holdings, I’m still doing quite well.” 

“Say that again? What about…” Arthur paused, then sighed. “Go away, you’re hurting my eyes. I don’t want to speak to you anymore.” 

Matthew stood there with no expression, which made Arthur angrier. Before he could put his thoughts into words, Matthew spoke. “Nathaniel is here. I’m sure you want to speak to him.” 

Nathaniel tilted his head and looked at Matthew who nodded. “I know you have something to say 

to Grandpa.” 

Simon smiled as Nathaniel accepted his fate and nodded. “Matthew, you… alright. I do have something to talk to you about. I think Matt is at an age to get married.” 

Simon started laughing. Arthur looked at the three men and frowned then waved his hand. “You three just can’t be compared to Hesper. Go away, I don’t want to be angry.” 

The three men nodded and left. 

All the guests had arrived and the night slowly crept in.
