A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 39



Chapter 39

In the study, the mother and son sat down.

Rickard checked the time on his watch. “Go ahead.”

Julie spoke. “I know that you’re trying to get Hesper, but have you considered why she didn’t come

home? Has she ever done this since you married? Don’t you think that this is out of character?”

How could it not be? He never imagined that she would do this, so he didn’t notice that she wasn’t

home until the helper went to wake her up.

Julie scoffed and coldly said, “I’m going to say something that you wouldn’t want to hear. I watched the

video too yesterday. She was disoriented and couldn’t even walk properly. Who knows if anything

happened after she got into some man’s car?”

“Mom!” Rickard cut her off.

“What? Am I wrong?” Julie continued. “I don’t want to accuse her of anything, but the truth is right

there. If they were both innocent, why did she not cooperate when the police asked to look for the

witness? Also, why didn’t she come home?”

Rickard’s mind went to the moment when Hesper hesitated when they were at the precinct. 411

It was true. If she wanted to find the culprit so much, why wouldn’t she tell the police who the man was?

Furthermore, even though the video wasn’t very clear, when they zoomed in, it was obvious that they

were sitting very close to each other…

Mothers know their children best. When Julie saw his face fall, she knew that he was considering what

she said, so her lips

subconsciously curled.

“You know that reputation is very important to the family. Hesper’s situation was vague, but she blew it

up. She has no respect for our family name and doesn’t care what people say about you, a CEO,

about how his wife was almost…”

“Enough.” Rickard looked bitter and his breathing was quick.

“Maybe we’re overthinking this. I’ll ask her about this later.”

“Of course. You can figure it out. Don’t let that woman trick you with her words.”

Rickard didn’t say anything, but his steps were a lot quicker. He could accept if Hesper didn’t love him,

but he wouldn’t be alright if she betrayed him.

After hearing the car engine distancing, Sophia and Juniper walked over to Julie and smiled. “Do you

think Dick would suspect her?”

“Once we plant the seed of doubt, it will always bloom.” Julie coldly raised her brows. “Besides, all we

need to do is make Dick feel disappointed in her. Once trust is lost, disappointment grows.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s true. You’re brilliant.” Juniper smiled, excited to see the couple fall out.

Splash! Hesper was woken up by a pail of water.

“Ah!” She yelled and shuddered as she opened her eyes to see the person standing in front of her.

“Rickard? What are you doing?”.

Rickard was enraged. “Do you know who you are? How could you not come home last night? Hesper

Rivera, am I too nice to you that you think you can walk all over me?”

Cold water dripped down her hair. Hesper was surrounded by cold air, but her anger rose, so she

shouted back. “So what if I didn’t go home?

Are you crazy? We’re going to be divorced soon, so why do you care if

I don’t come home!”
