A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409
Hesper would observe Pennleigh, but every movement he made was gentlemanly and he wasn’t paying too much attention to her. Even though he said that Roberto changed his life, he didn’t flatter him.
He didn’t look like a bad person.
Even so, Hesper was still prudent because bad people wouldn’t always show it. Roberto had class the next day, so he left earlier.
“It could get dangerous at this hour, so why don’t I drive you home?”
All of Daybreak’s actions were known by the people in Antellon, so Hesper nodded. “I’m staying at Mr. Sanchez’s home. He has helped me a lot since I got here.”
“I heard that he’s a very kind man. Even though people might have exaggerated, without him, I’m sure I wouldn’t have had the courage to persevere in this industry.”
Hesper understood how he felt, so she nodded. “He helped me a lot too. If it weren’t for him, I might not be able to come and study here.”
They didn’t know each other that well, so there wasn’t a lot to talk about. The journey home was fairly quiet.
Before getting out of the car, Pennleigh parked by the road, and when he saw that she was ready to get out, he suddenly called her name as his ears turned a darker shade under the street lights. Ms. Rivera.”
“Hmm?”
Pennleigh finally let go of his tact and scratched his head, then said, “You look nice without makeup too.”
Hesper was confused. Did he think that the reason she looked different was that she didn’t have makeup on?
She didn’t know what to say. Even though that was possible, she was troubled because she didn’t know if he was simple-minded or naive.
“Thanks.”
Pennleigh nodded. He belonged to Fredonia because, under the night sky and street lights, his deep-set eyes were beautiful and passionate.
“See you soon.”
Hesper watched as he drove away and gave a tired sigh, then walked toward her building.
After tapping in, the security guard called out to her. “Ms. Rivera, you have a package.”
The guards knew who this new tenant was. He ran out of the security room while holding a package.
“Someone left this here and it has your name on it, so I held on to it.”
Hesper frowned when she heard that.
Only Roberto knew she was staying there, but if he had something for her, he probably wouldn’t send it.
“Do you know what the person who delivered this looked like?”
“No, when I saw it, no one was around,” the guard said, shaking his head. “What’s wrong? Should I call the police?”
Hesper shook her head. “No, but can I open it here? I suspect that something is wrong with the parcel.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
