A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

Matthew took a seat with a cold expression. “What makes you think she can’t?” 

“Sir, Master Lane isn’t someone you can easily google. He would definitely look into Ms. Rivera’s past. What if he found out-” 

Before Tanner could finish, Matthew cut him off. “So you need to wipe her records clean before he starts his investigation.” 

“Sir…” He was going to say something but halted when Matthew glared at him. 

He had been around Matthew since he was in his teen years, so he knew Matthew very well. Knowing that the man had already made up his mind, he reluctantly said, “Sir, it’s unlike you to be so impulsive. Could you tell me why you act so differently around Ms. Rivera?” 

Matthew’s hand froze. He didn’t know why. Whether it was looks or her status, it was nowhere close to the standard that would make him act impulsively. He didn’t even want to get involved most of the time, but every time that happened, he would think of his sister. 

“Maybe because she looks like my sister.” 

Tanner thought that it was a terrible reason. When Rachel went missing, she was just five or six. Ms. Rivera was an adult, so how could they look alike? However, he knew Matthew’s personality, so he was smart enough to not pry. He turned around and started planning what would happen later. 

At the same time, Hesper changed into clean clothes. 

Julian looked at her and handed a cup of ginger tea to her. “Hesper, I have a question. Is it really over between you and Rickard?” 

“Mm.” She took a sip. The tea was warm as, if it could warm her heart, 

and even the holes from being stabbed by needles didn’t hurt as much anymore. 

“We said that we would wait for grandpa to return, but they tried to get me in trouble one too many times. They tried to make me jump, then tried to kill me, and even drugged me. If I stay any longer, I might not live until the day he comes back. I just feel sorry because he cares so much me but I left without even saying goodbye.” 

“It’s not your fault. They were too malicious.” Julian consoled her. You wouldn’t have left if you had any other choice. But Hesper, the baby…” 

Hesper stopped breathing as her heart ached. 

“I don’t know what my future holds, so if I bring him along, he might suffer. I’ll let him stay there for now and ask grandpa to take good care of him.” 

“Sigh, that’s the only way, I guess…” 

After a few hours, they landed.
