A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

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 Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

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.

'What should I do?'

Just when Jessie did not know what to do, another voice suddenly interjected.

"Why are you all standing at the door?"

Stunned, Jessie turned to see Hestia walk out from the curtain.

Hestia lightly rubbed the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, as if afraid of smudging her makeup.

She seemed a bit groggy and looked at Nathaniel. "Were you looking for me?"

Jessie snapped herself back to reality. She quickly stepped forward, took Hestia's hand, and pushed

the curtain closed again. "I already told you, you two can't see each other before the wedding. You

have such short memories."

Nathaniel's face lightened up when he saw Hestia. He took a step back and said, "If you're feeling tired,

you can rest a bit longer. There's a lot to do for the wedding. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"If you really feel that way, then you shouldn't have planned so many elaborate procedures in the first

place. It's just a fake wedding, but it seems to me that you're taking it a little too seriously," Hestia said.

Jessie lowered her head and pursed her lips, secretly admiring Hestia's boldness. Nathaniel did not

say anything more and left.

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."
