A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 456

Hesper had not seen anyone in the adjacent house since she moved in, but the property management staff would occasionally come to clean it up and prevent it from becoming completely abandoned.

She had asked Roberto about the situation next door and learned that the owner had multiple properties and left this one vacant since it was a bit far from the city center.

Now, she was wondering if the house had been sold or rented out.

As she stood in front of the courtyard gate pondering, Hesper sent a text message to Roberto and asked him to help inquire about the situation next door. After all, it had been a while since 013 showed up. She could not let her guard down in case anything suspicious was going on.

Just as she sent the message, a youthful woman with a gentle face who was dressed like a butler walked out of the courtyard. She walked straight towards Hesper.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" the woman asked.

Hesper was a bit surprised but pointed to her own house and said, "I'm a resident here. I was wondering if there are new occupants in the adjacent house. It's been vacant for a long time."

The woman nodded. "My employer has some work to do in this area and is temporarily staying here. He rented this house because he prefers a quiet environment."

"I see," Hesper replied.

It sounded logical to Hesper. The courtyard was beautifully decorated, so it was unlikely to be 013. After all, she did not think he would have such leisure time.

Hesper nodded. "It's indeed very quiet here. I'm River A. I've stayed here for a long time, so you can ask me for help if you need anything."

It was the hottest time of the day, so Hesper did not refuse. Although Roberto had not replied to her message yet, the neighbor had left a good impression on her, and she did not want to suspect them unnecessarily.

However, bad people would not write "bad person" on their faces, so after entering the courtyard, Hesper carefully checked the bouquet. She only felt relieved after she found no monitoring or surveillance camera on it.

Although the flowers were indeed beautiful, Hesper did not bring it into her home since it was a gift from a stranger. Instead, she found a vase and put the flowers in it, placing it at the doorstep of the yard.

Meanwhile, Rickard stood at the window, watching Hesper carefully unwrap the bouquet. The butler came up and said, "Ms. Rivera has accepted the flowers and doesn't seem to be suspicious."

The butler's words conflicted with Hesper's actions, and a smile tugged at the corners of Rickard's lips. After seeing Hesper put the flowers into a vase, he turned his head back.
