A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 516

In the lengthy silence, neither of them took the initiative to speak first.

Hesper looked at Rickard quietly, and as soon as they exchanged gazes, they realized that apart from indifference, there was no other trace of emotion in the other party’s eyes.

She could not help but laugh at herself inwardly. Never had she been so clear that love was not an emotion that could be found in his eyes.

‘Perhaps I have a filter on whenever I look at him. Just when will I accept the fact that Rickard doesn’t love me?’

"Excuse me, is this Ms. River A.?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Hesper frowned and looked down at the caller ID. It was indeed Juniper, who had not contacted her in quite a long time.

‘Her wedding gowns have been completed and are being temporarily stored in Eustoma. So, what’s with the sudden call?’

Hesper cleared her throat and responded in her fake voice, "Yes, it’s me."

Juniper sat in front of the mirror, holding her phone in one hand and applying ointment on her face with the other. Looking at the slap marks on her cheek, Juniper took a few deep breaths before continuing. "My wedding's date has been pushed forward. It’ll be at the end of this month, so can you send the gowns over earlier?"

Hearing this, Hesper frowned. "It’s been pushed forward?"

‘Hadn’t Juniper and Carter's wedding date already been fixed long ago? Why has it changed so suddenly?’

Looking at the slap marks on her cheek, Juniper thought of the haughty look of that mistress that came home with Carter earlier. She could not help but clench her fists and sweep everything on the table to the ground.

‘No matter how embarrassed I am, who are these people to watch from the sidelines?’

"Because I’m already pregnant. If I were to get married as planned, I might not be able to fit into the beautiful gowns."
