A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 583

Neither of them knew what it meant to spend wisely. Whenever they ran out of money, they would just withdraw from the family account. They did not know how to save money at all. In their minds, as long as Rickard and Ernest were still alive, the Duvals would always be an inexhaustible gold mine.

They had spent nearly $45,000 a night, so one could imagine how much they had lost in the past month.

Sophia grumbled to herself about her bad luck and how she had lost too much money that day. She snuck into the house as usual but was taken aback to find the living room brightly lit.

"Welcome back." Rickard's voice echoed in her ears. He had not changed his clothes yet, and Julie was sitting on the couch with her head hung low. Sophia's heart skipped a beat, and she collapsed to the floor in fear at the sight.

Julie surreptitiously watched for any signs of Rickard's emotions, but he was notoriously inscrutable. The only thing she sensed was the palpable tension that surrounded him, suggesting that he was in a bad mood.

"She didn't lose that much money," Julie said, but Rickard shot her a glance and shut her up. Although he appeared calm on the surface, Sophia could sense the coldness lurking beneath his composed gaze.

Sophia knew they were both in trouble when Rickard found out. But gambling was addictive. It led people down a slippery slope, and she just could not control herself.

"Dick, I'm sorry. It's all my fault," Sophia said as she grabbed Rickard's trousers, tears streaming down her face. "Please forgive me. I promise I won't do it again."
