A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 96

“Ren, children shouldn’t lie. Who were you speaking to?” Rickard put on a stern face.

Renfrew was still afraid of him, so he came clean. “Mommy. I

was on a call with mommy.”

When he heard that it was Hesper, his face looked confused.

He looked at the child. Renfrew was active but he didn’t smile a lot. Ever since Hesper’s return, he

seemed to be a lot happier.

“Ren, tell me, do you love mommy?”

Rickard got to his height and started caring about him.

Renfrew nodded. “Mommy is so cool and she treats me very

well. Of course, I love her.”

“Do you want to live with her then?” Rickard asked.

He nodded but then shook his head. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Rickard didn’t understand. “Do you want to or not?”

Renfrew replied, “I want to, but that’s pointless. Mommy was bullied by grandma and Aunt Sophia, so

she would never forgive them, so she wouldn’t come back to us either.”

This little child was able to understand such complex emotions. He sadly lowered his head and

suddenly looked at his dad with puppy eyes. “Dad, why don’t you try to ask mommy to come home?

Then we’ll be able to live together as a family!”

Rickard’s heart s*ipped a beat, as he realized that he didn’t mind

that at all, but he didn’t agree. Instead, he calmly asked, “What do you think I should say to her?”

Renfrew thought about it, then replied, “You should protect her, of course. Punish the people who hurt

her and give her justice! She’ll see how much we care for her then!”

Yes, take revenge, give her the justice she deserved. Even a child could see that, but he couldn’t do it.

Rickard’s face dropped and he patted his son’s head. “Alright. Don’t watch so much television. Why do

you need to know so much, nosy?”

Renfrew felt as if he was underestimated, as he didn’t learn all that from television. Ms. Myriade told

him that, but since she said that he had to keep her a secret, he couldn’t let anyone

know for now.

Rickard felt uneasy even when he was at the office after hearing what Renfrew said.

Benji noticed that he was s*acing out. “Did something happen, Mr. Duval?”

“No.” He didn’t want to talk about it, so Benji didn’t push and continued updating him about the day’s

agenda.

“There’s a meeting at 2pm with the director of Drogon Tech and a private party at 5pm with William

Gerault. After 8pm, you’ll have time for yourself.”

“Alright.” Rickard was bored because it was mundane:

Suddenly, his phone rang and he saw that it was Juniper. Rickard ignored it. However, she called Benji

instead.

“Sir, she…” Seeing how he wasn’t saying anything, Benji tried to cover up for him. In a formal tone, he

said, “Ms. Wight, I’m a little busy right now. Could you please-”

“I know you’re with Rickard. Put him on the phone!” Juniper sounded rude and Benji was shocked.

Juniper yelled into the phone. “Hesper is ruining my life! If he has a bit of kindness in him, get him on

the phone!”

She was so loud that Rickard could hear her even when he was sitting next to Benji.
