A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346 

Hesper mentioned Renfrew to test Rickard. 

Hesper felt that something was off when he sent Renfrew to her, but she couldn’t put a finger on it. Now that he was back, why hadn’t he taken Renfrew back? 

He knew that Renfrew was her only weakness. 

Whether it was because of their companies’ situations or if Rickard really fell for her and wanted to use Renfrew to get to her, none of that should have happened. 

Why did he leave Renfrew with her? Did he really just want them to be together, or was there an ulterior motive? 

Hesper was too sensitive. Rickard knew that if he couldn’t give a good reason, she would send Renfrew back to him. Myriade would then leave and go back to Daybreak. 

All his trails would be lost then. 

“Because…” Rickard frowned. Hepser looked at him and knew that he was hiding something from her. “Because my mom wants to find me a new wife.” 

“What?” Hesper didn’t know how to react because she wasn’t expecting him to give that as a reason. She blinked. “What does this have anything to do with Ren? He’s not your illegitimate son. Your future wife can’t accept him?” 

“…” Rickard just came up with an excuse at the moment, but seeing how Hesper was just inquisitive instead of being jealous, he felt sad. 

However, he said what he said, so now he had to try and cover-up. 

Rickard cleared his throat and said, “Ren is still so young. I’m worried that he’ll feel sad if some stranger came over and said things to him.” 

“Oh…” Hesper had thought that it was a terrible excuse, but now it sounded more acceptable. 

Knowing Julie and what she would want in a daughter-in-law, she might just choose another Juniper- a conniving woman who sounded sweet. If Renfrew was only going to be bullied-again, he was better off staying with her. 

“Mm-hmm.” Rickard nodded. “So, Ren will be staying with you for now. I’ll bring him home when I’m ready.” 

Hesper nodded while still in thought, then she suddenly came to a realization. “Wait, you’re going to get married?” 

Rickard was confused. 

“… Um… I’ll delay it for as long as I can.” Rickard sighed, then continued. “I won’t remarry because it’s unfair to Ren and to you too.” 

He said that with an expression that was far too sincere, so Hesper had to look away.
