A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 402

The hostel Fredonia U arranged for the students to stay in was a good area. Even though Hesper had

never been to this city, she knew it just by seeing how busy the area was.

“Other than students, there are private units here too. However, people who live in the university town

are mostly well-off,” Roberto explained. “However, Antellon isn’t a quiet city. Some members of

Daybreak operate here.”

Daybreak?

Hesper frowned. Roberto knew she had issues with Zoya, but he didn’t realize that a psycho was

lurking around her.

That was why 013 left so easily the other day. He managed to get into the lion’s den from a very safe

place. It was perfect for 013 who was trying to attack her.

“Sigh…” Hesper sighed, but she didn’t say more to Roberto and settled down in her room.

She knew that even if she told Roberto more, there was nothing that they could do about it. 013 was

crazy. He was the second personality of a dissociative disorder patient. Hesper shouldn’t expect him to

have moral values.

Roberto could tell that something was wrong, so he guessed. “Is someone from Daybreak targeting

you?”

He was unexpectedly sensitive. Hesper didn’t deny it but said, “I have a personal reason, but… even if

there were people from Daybreak here, I don’t think they would try to kidnap me.”

“Really?” Roberto felt that that was a stretch. When he remembered how many things Hesper brought

over, he immediately realized something. “Are you out of money?”

Hesper didn’t expect him to figure that out, but she couldn’t lie to those kind eyes, so she nodded. I’ve

cut ties with the Lanes. I don’t have enough money to get a safer home.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“But I do.” When Hesper looked up, Roberto smiled at her. “You should remember that I’m wealthy.

Getting a few extra houses isn’t that strange.”

Hesper didn’t want to rely on others; even if Roberto was her mentor now, she still felt embarrassed.

“Alright, I’ll give you a ride.”

Roberto didn’t ask her about her cutting ties with the Lanes. Hesper accepted his help, though still

feeling guilty, and enjoyed the view while they drove.

She wondered how everyone in Halwanest was doing.

All the messages Matthew sent didn’t go through. He had a bad feeling about it, but he couldn’t believe

it because Hesper had promised him that she wouldn’t leave right before she left.

When he asked Jessie about her whereabouts, Jessie was hesitant at first but then said, “Mr. Lane,

with your background, getting rid of me would be as easy as getting my number, but t

promised Hesper that I wouldn’t tell you anything. I’m going to keep the promise.”

So, Hesper was determined to cut all ties with him and even told Jessie about it. Only he had been.

unaware.

Matthew sighed and apologized. “I contacted you because I wanted to get some information about

Hesper. I didn’t mean to offend you. I’m sorry for being impulsive, Ms. Jenkins.”
