A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424 

Very soon, Hesper had finished preparing the canned food. She had been planning to make one for Stephen, so she brought a bottle to him. 

She filled a can and brought it over to Stehen’s place, guided by the map Stephen had drawn for 

her. 

“Is there anything I can help you today, Ms. Rivera?” 

When she arrived at the gate, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Hesper had not noticed anyone around before. 

Looking at the man’s expressionless face, she blinked. 

When she came here with Roberto last time, she did not see anyone other than Stephen. She only knew that there was a gardener here who helped Stephen take care of his garden. 

“You’re the gardener?” 

The man nodded, his face expressionless as he repeated, “Is there anything you need today, Ms. Rivera?” 

“Well, there’s nothing urgent. Can I see Mr. Cyrus today?” Hesper asked. She felt the man’s attitude was a bit strange. If he was the gardener, why was he working as the gatekeeper as well? 

The man did not say anything else and turned to leave, giving tacit approval for Hesper to enter. Although it was a bit strange, Hesper ignored it. After all, Stephen was not a normal person, so it was not strange for those who worked under him to also be abnormal. She met Stephen without any further incidents and did not encounter anyone else on the way. 

Stephen was surprised to see Hesper as well. He had been sick for a few days and had not been out for a while. It was the first day he came out, and the first person he saw was Hesper. “What brought you here today? Did something happen to your face? Let me have a look at it… It’s only been a few days, so…” 

Hesper took a step back and raised the bottle up, putting it in between both of them. 

“I’m here to give you this.” 

Stephen frowned when he heard what Hesper said. Nevertheless, he was curious about what she had brought over, so he cleared his throat and said, “I won’t accept it if it isn’t any good.” 

“Really?” Hesper looked at Stepehen’s somewhat arrogant expression and felt that he was becoming more and more childish. She deliberately drew out her words and said, “Then, I won’t give it to you.’ 

Stephen turned around and glared at her. In the next second, he remembered that he was older than Hesper, so he said in a stern voice, “If you don’t want to give it, then don’t. I didn’t want anything from you in the first place.” 

“Really?” 

“Of course!”

Hesper couldn’t help but laugh, and Stephen realized that he had been fooled. He looked at Hesper with some annoyance, and sald, “Don’t you want me to give you a disguise next time? Don’t forget that I’m your elder!” 

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re my elder.” 

Hesper shook the can in front of Stephen and said, “Is a bottle of canned peaches good enough to make this elder feel better and forgive me?” 

Looking at Hesper, Stephen suddenly felt his vision go black. Countless scenes whizzed past his eyes. He tried to reach out but could not grasp anything that slipped past his fingers. 

“Mr. Cyrus?”
