A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 687

Hestia did not really want to satisfy Jessie's curiosity as she listened to her incessant chatter.

She had learned a lot of things when she was staying with the Deschamps, but those were too far away from Jessie, so she just gave some vague answers. Jessie's brain spun rapidly and changed to another topic quickly.

"Why did you suddenly leave? You scared the hell out of me. I thought you were going to run away from the wedding."

A smile appeared on Hestia's lips as she said, "Of course, I have other more important stuff to handle."

Twenty minutes ago, Hestia detected that the person in front of her had used some sort of drug on her. Luckily, she anticipated potential risks and had taken an antidote beforehand. Although the old man's words were vague and she knew that they would leave the area after that day, Hestia still gained a plethora of valuable information. For example, these two people were related to Hesper.

Each piece of information seemed to hint that her journey to this point was not a mere coincidence, but a carefully planned trap. Nonetheless, Hestia knew that she had to feign ignorance for now to ensure her plan progresses smoothly.

"So, are you still going to marry Nathaniel according to the contract?" Jessie could not figure out the situation, but she could understand what Hestia was doing right now.

Hestia nodded and looked at the tray on the table. "Did they just send this to me?"

"Yeah," Jessie replied.

As Hestia picked out a dress and put it on, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. For a moment, it was as if she was transported back in time to the day she sat in front of a mirror wearing a different wedding dress. She was so lost in her thoughts that she did hear Jessie calling out for her several times.
