A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 459

There was a woman standing with her back facing her in the balcony. There were no expensive or precious flowers in the room. The entire room was filled with a few sunflowers that complemented the decoration in the room. The woman put down the bottle in her hand and turned around, smiling as she greeted Hesper, "Hello, Ms. Rivera."

Upon seeing the woman, Hesper was briefly stunned. The reason was nothing else but that the woman bore a resemblance to her. The brightness in her almond-shaped eyes had been enriched by the passage of time, making her seem even more gentle.

"Hi, Mrs. Lanning. I'm Hespe Rivera."

Elise walked over gracefully and said, "Please have a seat, Ms. Rivera. I like your design a lot. I never expected you to be so young. It's such a shame that I couldn't meet you earlier due to my poor health. It's strange, but as soon as I saw you, I felt particularly close to you. It's as if I had met you somewhere before."

Hesper actually had the same feeling. However, considering the fact that her current face was not her original one, she was certain that it must be an illusion. "There's no need to be so polite, Mrs. Lanning. You can just call me Hesper."

"But aren't you also being polite?" Elise quipped, making Hesper freeze briefly. "Judging by age, I'm about the same age as your mother. From now on, you can call me Aunt Elise. We'll probably meet frequently in the future. You don't have to treat me like a client. I don't like that kind of formality."

It appeared that Elise was indeed well-loved, and the multiple layers of screening and checks she underwent outside indicated that she was a pampered lady.

Elise's complexion was fine, but it was evident that she had been sick for a long time. When Hesper took her measurements, she also noticed that Elise was as thin as a rake.

"It's an old illness. I was exposed to radiation when I was young, and my body has been difficult to recover ever since."

Hesper had no intention of prying into her client's past, nor did she harbor any inappropriate curiosity. She was pretty sure that radiation was not something that ordinary people could be exposed to.

It was almost lunchtime after getting Elise's measurement and discussing with her about the initial design plan, and Hesper felt that it was time for her to go.
