A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 441

Chapter 441 

“I don’t think I’ll be giving a speech or anything like that just yet. It’s very rare for our place to be this boisterous, so let’s not spoil the fun.” 

Pennleigh turned his head to the side and picked up a piece of celery and shrimp cocktail for Hesper. “This is our home chef’s signature dish, try it.” 

‘She doesn’t like celery.” 

Rickard watched this scene coldly, but in the next second, Hesper actually picked the piece of celery up and smiled at Pennleigh. “Wow, it tastes much better than expected.” 

Pennleigh realized it and said apologetically, “Do you not like celery?” 

Rickard’s gaze was still fixed on them, and although Hesper did not turn her head, she could still feel his scorching gaze, so she shook her head indifferently. “I might not have liked it very much in the past, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t like things that I didn’t like before, right…? Actually, it turns out that celery is more delicious than I imagined. It’s really good.” 

“Glad to hear that.” 

Even though she said so, Pennleigh did not see Hesper grab another piece of celery again, so he instantly knew that Hesper only said that because of Rickard. 

Aelinor did not look too happy about the reaction between the two either. After taking a few mouthfuls, she claimed with a straight face that she was not feeling well, so she would stop eating for now. 

Hesper could not care less about what had happened to Aelinor. And Rickard’s gaze continued to be fixed on her from time to time. She could feel it, but Pennleigh was very good at acting like a perfect boyfriend. He was so good at it that even Isobella patted him on the shoulder and told him helplessly that he was being way too attentive. 

“Just let us be, mother. We’ve gone through a lot just to get together. Don’t you think so, Hes?” 

Hesper was older than Pennleigh by less than one year. When she was in the company, she would usually address Pennleigh as Mr. Pisano, and although she thought of him as a younger brother deep down, she had never heard him call her Hes. 

Seeing Isobella’s gossiping gaze, Hesper rubbed her temples with her hands in embarrassment. 

“Alright, that’s enough, Penn. Can’t you see just how bashful Hesper is?” Isobella patted Pennleigh’s back. “You used to be such a boring and introverted person, I really didn’t expect you to turn into such an attentive and doting man after falling in love. You look just like your father from back when we were still young.” 

The food at the Pisanos tasted really good. Hesper was acting while eating and thinking about something else deep down too, so before she realized it, she had already eaten almost everything that Pennleigh had been fetching onto her plate, to the point where she felt a little unwell in her stomach. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have been very open to all sorts of food all night, and she did not even know how much she had eaten so far.

“I’ll stop eating now.” Hesper whispered in Pennleigh’s ear. “I want to go out for a stroll.” 

“Okay, do you want me to go with you?”
