A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449 

Rickard knew that things were not as simple as Renfrew thought, but from a certain point of view, Hesper had done nothing wrong, she was just very unlucky. 

“Now that Mommy has been found, can we bring her home?” 

Rickard shook his head. 

Seeing that, Renfrew frowned and then heard Rickard say, “But I won’t leave easily this time around. Don’t worry, the investigation about Daybreak has finally made some progress. With that, I can probably obtain some information about the doctor who can heal Mommy’s legs too.” 

“I’ll definitely heal Mommy’s leg first.” 

“You’re the one who says so!” Renfrew’s brows relaxed a little, but he still looked rather serious. Mommy doesn’t like you very much in the first place. If you were to do something wrong again, Mommy will surely abandon you for real this time around!” 

Rickard felt a little helpless. Usually, the father should be the one educating the son, but he had never seen a son teach his father a lesson. 

Just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of his room. 

All the rooms located in this wing of the manor were guest rooms and the room closest to him was Hesper’s room. 

“What’s wrong?” Renfrew did not hear the sound, but he keenly saw that something was wrong with Rickard’s expression. 

Rickard shook his head, then stood up. “It’s no big deal, I’ll go out and have a look… You should go to bed early. If Mommy were to know that I kept you up late at night, she would definitely get angry at me.” 

“…Alright.” 

Rickard opened the door and saw Hesper squatting at the door of her room with a broken glass 

next to her. 

Hesper closed her eyes tightly and bit her lower lip irritably as she knew that Rickard would surely hear her at such a close distance. 

“Can you stand up?” 

It’d been quite some time since he heard the sound of the collision. If Hesper had simply tripped and fallen to the floor, she should have gotten up by now. 

Rickard walked up to her, squatted down, and held her leg with his right hand, trying to see if her leg was swollen or if there were any other wounds, but Hesper smacked his hand. 

Hesper’s slap was heavy, so Rickard frowned out of pain, but he did not back down. 

“Let me take a look. Don’t move.” 

Hesper was speechless for a second and then scoffed angrily. “Haven’t you heard that it’s 

improper for men and women to touch each other? Especially when they’re in no way related to each other. Mr. Duval, it’s already very late at night, and I currently have a boyfriend. Don’t you think this is very inappropriate?” 

Rickard did not say anything. Seeing that Hesper’s leg did not seem to have been injured, he turned his head toward her. 

“We shouldn’t touch each other? It’s not like we haven’t done more intimate things before this.” Rickard was very calm when he said this, but his hand slid lower down Hesper’s leg and held her more sensitive ankle. “Does it hurt here?” 

Hesper felt a little ticklish, but she still put on a stubborn look. “Mr. Duval, if you don’t let go, I’ll 

scream.” 

“You’re welcome to do so. Summon everyone here to see what we’re doing.” 

“Rickard Duval!” 

There was a faint hint of hilarity in Rickard’s eyes, and when he made sure that there was nothing wrong with Hesper’s ankle, he was certain that she had not broken any bone. However, he did not let go but lifted his head and gazed at Hesper with a half-smile. 

“Rickard… Ms. Rivera, you should continue to call me by my name so that we won’t look too distant.”
