A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 

Madam Duval followed everyone into the dining hall and motioned for Juniper to sit beside Rickard at the same time. 

“Juniper, don’t you like to eat fish? Eat some of this. It’s boneless, so it should be convenient for you to eat.” 

“Okay, thank you.” Juniper let off a bashful smile, took a glance at the man sitting beside her, and asked, “Rickard, would you like some soup? I’ll fetch you some.” 

“There’s no need for that.” Rickard interrupted her, and his stern expression gave off an intense sense of alienation. 

“Dick, how can you speak so rudely to Juniper?” Madam Duval frowned instantly. “Juniper came to our place because she cares about my health, not to mention that you two have known each other for so many years. No matter what, you should always treat her kindly.” 

“Mom.” Rickard looked at her. 

He could explain himself by saying that he did not understand what was going on before this, but he now had a general picture of what had happened back then. 

He then said calmly and slowly, “As you said, we’ve known each other for many years, so I’ll naturally treat her well in certain aspects. But other than that, I don’t want to create any misunderstandings.” 

Upon hearing this, Juniper’s cheeks paled, and her eyes teared up immediately. “Rickard, what happened? Are you saying that you hate me now?” 

“No.” Rickard shook his head, giving off a hint of exhaustion.* 

He did not hate. Juniper, but he did not want to get too close to her 

either. 

Ever since Hesper came back to Genecity, some of the hidden truths had been uncovered gradually, and those suspicions caused him to feel that he did not seem to know this woman all that well. 

“But if you don’t hate me, why would you keep me at such a distance all this while? You know very well that I’ve always loved you after all these years!” 

“Boom–“The moment these words escaped Juniper’s mouth, a huge noise came from the living room. 

After a few seconds, Hesper suddenly appeared at the entryway of the villa with Renfrew, but she did not expect to hear such an intense confession live. 

Everyone in the dining hall looked back at the same time, and Rickard stood up subconsciously. “Why are you here?” 

Hesper had regained her calm demeanor at this moment and gazed at him with a faint smirk. “Renfrew said that he hasn’t seen his father for a few days and he misses him a lot. However, it seems that I’ve come here at the wrong time.” 

“No…” 

“Yes, you’re interrupting our meal!” Just as Rickard was about to explain, someone grabbed his arm abruptly. Juniper wrapped her 

3 arms around him tightly as if she was showcasing her sovereignty in this household.
