A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 

For a short moment, Rickard pinched the wine glass tightly. 

‘Hesper’s feelings for me? That was a long time ago, and judging from what she’s been doing recently, I can no longer believe in her.’ 

“If you feel so sorry for her, you can go down there and kneel with her!” Rickard said coldly, shutting Benji’s mouth immediately. 

The two continued to stare at Hesper silently. She remained in a straight posture from the beginning to the end as if it was the only thing she could do to protect her dignity. 

A long time went by, and the sky slowly darkened. 

Hesper was tottering in the rain when a pair of spotless leather shoes. appeared in front of her all of a sudden. 

Hesper slowly lifted her gaze, and the first thing that entered her vision was Rickard. He was standing in the rain with a black umbrella, staring at her indifferently. 

“Do you know what you’ve done wrongly?” 

Hesper opened her mouth, felt a burning sensation on her lips as if they were being torn apart from each other, and said with difficulty, “I 

I’ve done nothing wrong.” 

The man’s expression dimmed instantly. 

Benji persuaded her anxiously. “Mrs. Duval, please just give in to Mr. Duval! It’s raining cats and dogs now. Your body won’t be able to take this any longer. If you were to fall sick later on, you’re the one who would suffer!” 

Hesper turned a deaf ear. After kneeling in the rain for so long, her mind was already a haze, causing her to not be able to think quickly. 

However, the only thing that she still knew at the moment was that the Duvals were the ones who did her wrong! 

Seeing that she was so unrepentant, Rickard finally lost his patience.” Okay, since you wish to continue kneeling here, then I’ll grant you your wish! No one is allowed to help her up or let her in without my order!” 

Hesper gave off an extremely sarcastic smirk. 

Soon, the yard was quiet again. The only sound that Hesper could hear was the sound of raindrops crashing against the roof and ground. 

Everyone else hid from the rain in the villa as they watched Hesper, the former young lady of the Duvals, kneeling in the courtyard in such a state of embarrassment. 

Finally, Hesper could not hold on any longer. Just when she was on the verge of blacking out, a phone call brought her back. 

“Ms. Rivera.” Matthew greeted her while he was on his way to the airport. 

Having recalled Hesper’s request before leaving the country, he had been to the precinct and was giving her a call. “I’ve done what you asked me to do, so all the best with the rest.” 

“Okay… Thank…” Hesper opened her mouth with extreme difficulty but in the next second, her body tilted to the front and she fell straight onto the ground. 

Hearing a loud thud, Matthew paused for a split second, pondered, and asked, “Ms. Rivera? Are you okay?” 

Hesper’s cheeks lacerated against the ground, and her hands and knees were all flushed and swollen. Half of her face was laying 

against the wet ground; this was her first time getting so close to the ground. 

Hesper gave off a wry scoff. “Mr. Lane, I might have to trouble you again…” 

Hesper could no longer get up after losing balance and falling to the ground. Benji could not help but tell Rickard about the situation that Hesper was in. 

Just as he finally decided to go out and take a look at her, a limited edition Rolls-Royce suddenly rushed into the courtyard and stopped in front of everyone.
