A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 

However, when she compared them now… The difference was staggering. 

Was it because of their difference in age? Hesper came from a normal family but she was much more graceful than Aelinor, as if she wasn’t someone who was still in school but someone who had worked for years. 

Isobelle smiled and shook her head. 

What was she thinking? Hesper had more experience in life, so she was more mature. 

Hesper stared at her toes in boredom but heard someone coming down the stairs. She looked up and saw Pennleigh jogging down the stairs, looking anxious. When their eyes met, he frowned. 

“What’s the hurry?” Isobella grabbed his hand. “You should be more mature at your age.” 

Hesper watched what happened. Pennleigh seemed to have something to say to her, but Isobella stood between them, so he could only stare at her from a distance. 

Hesper understood something from his hesitation in speaking, but what was he trying to tell her? Hesper blinked a few times and still didn’t understand. 

“You haven’t been home for a while now, have you? You should spend more time with Aunt Isobella!” 

Aelinor looked back at Hesper smugly. She wasn’t going to let her speak to Penn. Hmmph! 

Hesper couldn’t care less about Aelinor’s childish behavior, but when she remembered how anxious Pennleigh was when he came downstairs, she started feeling uneasy, as if… 

Something bad was going to happen. 

“Mr. Duval? Welcome to Fredonia.” 

Hesper hide behind Aelinor and hoped that ‘Mr. Duval’ wasn’t Rickard. 

Aelinor was confused. 

However, hopes and reality were always different. After a moment, Rickard’s voice was heard in the quiet air. “Thank you, Mrs. Pisano. Is Mr. Pisano in the study?” 

That was the first time Hesper heard Rickard speak Fredonian. The country that was known for being romantic had the most romantic-sounding language too. 

Isobella and Rickard chatted for a bit when he suddenly looked toward a woman in the corner and thought that she looked familiar. 

“This is my son, Pennleigh.” Isobella introduced them and could tell that something was bothering him, so she followed his direction of sight. She saw Aelinor and… Hesper who was hiding behind Aelinor? 

“Mr. Duval?” 

Isobella didn’t know what was going on, but she walked over and asked Aelinor and Hesper to join them. 

22 

Aelinor, from the Lavigne family. She’s a student at Genecity University and came back for he summer break. 

After Introducing Aelinor, she pulled Hesper, who had her faced turned away. She didn’t know why she was doing that. “Are you alright, Hesper?” 

Hepser’s heart dropped and she sighed when she heard that. She wasn’t going to get away with it. 

When Rickard heard ‘Hesper’, he was stunned as he looked at Hesper who looked up at him. Rickard balled up his fist when no one was looking. 

“This is my son’s girlfriend, Hesper Rivera.”
