A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 

“No one knows the exact reason why, but Uncle Simon submitted an application to leave the army after Father’s accident. Grandpa has always thought that he’s a deserter, but I don’t think he left. because he was worried for his life.” 

Matthew’s voice sounded somewhat helpless. “However, Uncle Simon has never explained himself. After the incident, he went abroad and rarely comes back.” 

“Uncle Simon and Uncle Theo are very close. So, if you could build a good relationship with the former, you won’t have to worry about getting to know more about the latter.” 

Hesper said that she understood what she had to do after returning to Emperion, and the two of them moved on to briefly talk about work arrangements. After all, Hesper would return to Emperion for a period of time soon. She should deal with some of the tasks on hand in advance so that Renee would not have to bury herself in work when Hesper was away. 

“Hesper.” 

“Huh?” Hesper lifted her head. “What’s the matter?” 

Matthew shook his head. “It’s nothing, I just hope that you’re not draining yourself too much.” 

“…Mhmm.” Hesper could not help but feel that there was an underlying message lying underneath Matthew’s concern, but she could not figure out what he wanted to say. However, it was pointless for her to think too much, so she simply stopped thinking about it. 

Roberto had recuperated a lot throughout this period of time, and the wound had scabbed over. Hesper could not continue to take care of him, as she was about to go back to Emperion, so she went to visit Roberto one last time in the hospital before leaving. 

As soon as she entered the ward, she heard an ongoing conversation and was surprised to see Nathaniel standing in front of the bed. 

“What are you doing here?” 

Hearing Hesper’s question, Nathaniel waved his hands helplessly. “Obviously, I’ve come here to visit Roberto. I heard that he was injured, so as a friend, I just had to come and see him.” 

Hesper had been a little occupied lately, so she forgot that Roberto and Nathaniel were friends for 

a moment. 

It was just that Nathaniel seemed to be coming to Genecity very frequently recently, and something bad seemed to have happened every time he came by, so whenever she saw him, Hesper could not help but feel that something had gone wrong. 

“Guys, I know the relationship between you two, so why act so aloof?” 

Roberto’s question made Hesper feel a little embarrassed. She did not know where to start with her explanation. 

While she was still pondering, Nathaniel had already taken the initiative to explain. “The engagement between me and Hesper is just a unilateral wish of our parents. Hesper didn’t even grow up with the Lanes, so she and I don’t really know each other very well. We’re just friends.” 

Hesper immediately nodded in agreement. 

Roberto looked at the two of them, then sighed. “I thought you two were close to getting married. You look as if you’d make a perfect match. But in the end, it turns out that you’re just friends.” 

Hesper realized something at this moment.
