A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418 

Pennleigh thought that I’d become beautiful only because of my makeup before, so maybe this can get me through the night.” 

Thinking of this, Hesper felt even more helpless and sighed softly at her reflection in the mirror. 

‘I can’t think of any other way at the moment, so I’ll have to make to go with it.’ 

As soon as Hesper entered the private room, the whole room went silent for a full second. 

“Lady, did you come into the wrong room?” Andris, who came in from outside, bumped into Hesper. “Oh, she’s Halwanese, so maybe she can’t understand Fredonian? Mr. Pisano, can you translate?” 

Pennleigh was also a little dumbfounded at first, but when he heard Andris’s question, he returned to his senses. He could not help but feel a little helpless. 

“That’s River.” 

“What?” 

Hesper sat down under everyone in the room’s fixed gazes and cleared her throat in embarrassment. “Is it that strange that I look like this? Everyone’s staring at me…” 

“It’s not surprising at all. It’s just that… You look so beautiful!” 

“I’m completely astounded. River, you usually look so ordinary/ I didn’t expect you to become so gorgeous after putting on some makeup!” 

Hesper had not thought she would get away with it so easily. Although, she thought that things. were getting a little too far-fetched. 

‘Is this how Fredonians’ brains work? Or is it because everyone has been misled by Pennleigh’s preconceived ideas?’ 

As the main character of the dinner, Hesper could deeply feel the enthusiasm radiating from her colleagues. 

‘I have to say, the social customs in Fredonia are more open. These people are so enthusiastic that it could be rather overwhelming at times.’ 

Evon attended the dinner appointment on time, but he did not say anything throughout the whole dinner and only sat in the corner and glared at Hesper with a piercing gaze. 

Hesper did not plan to let him off either. She walked to the corner under everyone’s gaze and 

looked down at Evon. 

“Mr. Etienne, what are you doing sitting here all by yourself?” She smiled. “If everyone didn’t know any better, I’m sure they would think that we’re not getting along.” Hesper lowered her voice, making herself look a little delicate and fragile, but Evon heard a hint of provocation in her tone. When he raised his head, he saw hostility instead of hilarity in Hesper’s eyes. 

“You…!” Evon was about to lose his head but was instantly reminded that Pennleigh was still pissed about what happened earlier that day and had promised to find the person who ruined Hesper’s dress, so he didn’t lose his temper. 

‘I did it very covertly… No one should’ve seen me.” 

The meal was brought in on time. Hesper uttered a few polite and stilted sentences, and everyone started eating. 

“So, the person who splashed ink still hasn’t been found yet?” 

Hesper, who was still concentrating on wrestling with her macaroni, did not expect Andris to start the conversation.
