A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 686

"Wait!" Jessie shouted out and rushed forward to close the door.

"What's the matter?" the person asked, his voice thick with confusion.

Even though she had known they would be busted sooner or later, she was still fraught with anxiety and fear when it happened.

She took a deep breath and opened the door. However, she only opened the door slightly so that people could not see what was inside.

Meeting Nathaniel's puzzled gaze, Jessie cleared her throat and said, "Don't you know that the newlyweds can't see each other before the wedding?"

Nathaniel indeed had heard about such a saying before, so he nodded hesitantly and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

Jessie did not expect Nathaniel to believe in her so easily. She breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

"But can I say a few words to Hessy?" Making sure that there was no one else outside, Nathaniel said, "I'll be standing here. Is Hessy resting inside?"

Jesslie turned her head around. Fortunately, she had pulled the curtain earlier, so Nathaniel could not see what was inside. After confirming that he could not see anything from that angle, she said, "Hessy is tired and is sleeping inside."

Upon hearing Jessie's words, Nathaniel raised his eyebrows. In an instant, Jessie felt that Nathaniel's emotions were a little off.

"Did he realize something?'

Jessie's heart skipped a beat, and as expected, Nathaniel immediately said, "The wedding will be held in an hour. She might not be awake if she sleeps now. Why don't you wake her up and prepare for the wedding?"

Jessie knew that she had already been busted.

Jessie waited until Nathaniel was gone from her sight before she closed the door and let out a sigh. She walked back to Hestia and pulled the curtain open.

"You came back just in time!"

Hestia put her jewelry back on. Fortunately, Nathaniel did not have time to take a good look at what she was wearing earlier. Otherwise he would have noticed that her makeup was a bit smudged and her jewelry wasn't properly worn.

"Don't worry. Nobody would blame you even if I really ran away."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Hestia turned around. "But still, thank you for covering for me."

Jessie waved her hand and said, "You don't need to thank me. You've already helped me a lot, and I'm just returning the favor. But we're on the fourth floor, so how did you get up here? And what happened to your wedding dress? You weren't wearing it when you left, and you weren't here when I opened the door."
