A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 378

Chapter 378 

“Even if his family forced him to go on a blind date and he was just humoring them, that was rude.” Hesper grabbed Jessie’s hand and pulled her up. “We’re going to have dinner at my home today. I’ll call Professor Jenkins and tell him that you’re here.” 

“Thank you!” 

It wasn’t the first time Jessie visited her place. She knew the place well, so Hesper went into the kitchen to start cooking. 

Hesper rarely invited friends over for dinner. Before ending her failed marriage with Rickard, she didn’t have friends. After going to live with the Lanes, she focused on self-improvement and pretending to be someone she wasn’t, so she didn’t have a lot of time to breathe. 

It was difficult for her to find time to enjoy a holiday alone. 

Isaac and Renee came together. Even though Hesper said they didn’t have to bring anything, Renee bought a few types of wine. Hesper didn’t get any drinks because they would be too heavy for her to carry. She was planning to get them from the store nearby. 

“You’re so thoughtful.” 

Renee usually wore a suit; that day, she wore casual clothes. Under the yellow lighting, her ears looked red. “I didn’t want to come empty-handed.” 

“I’m the one who carried them over,” Isaac mumbled. 

Hesper laughed. “You’re really thoughtful too. Thank you both.” 

“You’re Hesper’s assistants? That’s so cool.” Jessie started chatting with them. “I know Isaac. You’re the one who appeared in the news with Hesper before. I was so shocked when I saw the news, but you look outstanding.” 

Isaac and Renee weren’t used to being around extroverts. Luckily, Jessie didn’t really need them to reply. Hesper took the food out. 

The place was much livelier with Jessie around. Hesper, Renee, and Isaac were the quiet ones, so. they wouldn’t talk a lot when they were together. 

Hesper gave Professor Jenkins a call. 

He sighed. “Alright, I’m relieved knowing that she’s with you. Her mother is so worried.” 

“She’s an adult now and has her own mind. If there’s something she fancies, she’ll find a way to get in touch with them. Otherwise, there’s no point forcing it. She wouldn’t be happy if she married someone she didn’t love.” 

Professor Jenkins sighed, then said, “This kid really thinks that she still has all the time in the world. She should start worrying about things when she reaches a certain age, but she still acts like a child.” 

Jessie and Isaac were talking next to them, so Hesper smiled. “But it’s quite good to be like a child. 

“Alright, coddle her. I’m going to have dinner with my wife now. Take care,”
