A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

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 All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

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.

“Since you’ve fetched the kid here, it’s time for you to leave if there’s nothing else that you wish to say

or do. And don’t mind us for not seeing you off!”

Madam Duval and Sophia had already walked up to Hesper from the dining table.

“Hesper Rivera? Who gave you permission to come here? You’re not welcome at my house. Now get

lost!”

“That’s right, you’re a vicious woman who only knows how to provoke dissension in our family as soon

as you return here. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been grounded by Dick!”

Every single word and sentence that came out of their mouths was full of ridicule and humiliation.

Hesper listened to what they had to say indifferently, then tilted her head and smirked at Rickard. “Did

you see that? This was how my everyday life looked like when I was living with you.”

After saying so, she glanced across the hall coldly. “Just shut your traps. This place is so full of filth, do

you really think I’d like to come
