A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388

When they arrived at the Lanes’ ancestral manor, the whole manor was already in a complete

mess.

When Hesper saw Arthur, she realized that Matthew had toned down the situation in the manor when he called her. Arthur was lying on his bed and his face looked as pale as death.

Wilfred was the first to see her. “Hesper Rivera, how dare you come back here?”

He scoffed. “It’s no wonder I didn’t like you one bit the moment I first saw you. Father defended you so much, so I couldn’t say much about my suspicions. It turns out that you’re not one of the Lanes.”

Hesper did not say anything, as she did not want to argue with Wilfred. She only wanted to know what Arthur was thinking. “Grandpa…”

During her four years living with the Lanes, Arthur was the person who treated her the best. No matter what she wanted, he would try his best to help her achieve it. No matter who badmouthed her, Arthur would defend her.

“Hesper. Matthew tugged on Hesper’s sleeve, motioning her not to say more.

Hearing Hesper’s voice, Arthur pointed to Helen and directed her to help him sit up. The moment he saw Hesper, Arthur shook his head. “Hesper, I don’t want to hear what others have to say. I only want to hear it from you.”

Hesper’s eyes were bloodshot, but she tried her hardest to suppress her emotions so that her tears would not escape her eye sockets and gushed down her cheeks.

‘At this moment, Grandpa is still choosing to believe in me… But what can I say? No matter what kind of excuse I put forward, at the end of the day, I’m just a fraud, someone who was desperate for Rachael’s identity and joined forces with Matthew to put on a show in the Lane family.”

“What else can she say? It’s obvious that she’s made a fool out of Matthew too. She’s an orphan and the unwanted daughter-in-law of the Duvals. What kind of good intentions could she have?” Wilfred sneered. “Father, I told you to not trust this woman back then, didn’t I? Just look at how…

“That’s enough.” Matthew stopped Wilfred, and his gaze looked as sharp as a razor. “I’m the one who brought Hesper back. As for you, Uncle Will, everyone in the family knows that you can be mean, but I didn’t know that you obtained the ability of a prophet and can actually foresee things that are going to happen in the future.”

Twiggy stood in the corner, looking timidly at the members of the family in front of her. Hesper noticed her at this moment and looked back at Matthew with a puzzled gaze.
