A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 479

"We’re going to be married soon. At such a sensitive time, it’s better not to go out and offend the Lanes," Carter said. "Matthew isn’t someone that we should trifle with. If he finds out that you badmouthed his sister and looks into the both of us, that’s it. We're doomed."

There was not even a slight hint of hilarity in Carter’s voice, so Juniper restrained herself, then refuted angrily after a short while, "Why are you so fierce? Of course, I have a sense of proportion, so why are you so worried?"

"You aren’t even afraid of Rickard, so why would you be afraid of Matthew Lane?"

Juniper turned her head around and realized that Carter’s expression had not softened at all. Instead, he lowered his gaze, and there seemed to be a trace of threat in his tone. "Listen to me. Don’t act rashly and do something out of our plan."

Juniper was speechless. She then withdrew her gaze and nodded obediently. "I know, don’t worry."

Only then did Carter give a faint smile. He rubbed Juniper’s head. "Good girl. I’ll wait for you outside. Pick up your pace and pack quicker. We have to see guests later."

Watching Carter leave, Juniper’s expression became slightly colder. She then looked at herself in the mirror and gnashed her teeth.

‘He had such a deep affection for me before, I actually thought that he had changed for the better because of me. I didn't doubt him even once. Not until the moment I found out that he was actually having an affair with another woman.’

Juniper had never hated someone so much before.

‘He gave me hope of being loved by someone and then smashed it into smithereens. He wants to marry me only because I’m a suitable candidate. If it had been another woman who was sent to his room that day and she suited his taste, he would’ve accepted her too.’

After being exposed by Juniper, Carter actually took it even further by bringing other women directly back into his house. He even caused Ariana to fall ill because of anger. And that was when Juniper regretted her decision and asked Carter what it would take for him to let her and the Wights go.

In the end, Carter’s request was for her to marry him. Juniper agreed.

After going through so much, Juniper understood that only the money that she possessed was real. All the pledges of love were only little tricks used by men to deceive women.
