A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 424

Very soon, Hesper had finished preparing the canned food. She had been planning to make one for

Stephen, so she brought a bottle to him.

She filled a can and brought it over to Stehen’s place, guided by the map Stephen had drawn for

her.

“Is there anything I can help you today, Ms. Rivera?”

When she arrived at the gate, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Hesper had not noticed

anyone around before.

Looking at the man’s expressionless face, she blinked.

When she came here with Roberto last time, she did not see anyone other than Stephen. She only

knew that there was a gardener here who helped Stephen take care of his garden.

“You’re the gardener?”

The man nodded, his face expressionless as he repeated, “Is there anything you need today, Ms.

Rivera?”

“Well, there’s nothing urgent. Can I see Mr. Cyrus today?” Hesper asked. She felt the man’s attitude

was a bit strange. If he was the gardener, why was he working as the gatekeeper as well?

The man did not say anything else and turned to leave, giving tacit approval for Hesper to enter.

Although it was a bit strange, Hesper ignored it. After all, Stephen was not a normal person, so it was

not strange for those who worked under him to also be abnormal. She met Stephen without any further

incidents and did not encounter anyone else on the way.

Stephen was surprised to see Hesper as well. He had been sick for a few days and had not been out

for a while. It was the first day he came out, and the first person he saw was Hesper. “What brought

you here today? Did something happen to your face? Let me have a look at it… It’s only been a few

days, so…”

Hesper took a step back and raised the bottle up, putting it in between both of them.

“I’m here to give you this.”

Stephen frowned when he heard what Hesper said. Nevertheless, he was curious about what she had

brought over, so he cleared his throat and said, “I won’t accept it if it isn’t any good.”

“Really?” Hesper looked at Stepehen’s somewhat arrogant expression and felt that he was becoming

more and more childish. She deliberately drew out her words and said, “Then, I won’t give it to you.’

Stephen turned around and glared at her. In the next second, he remembered that he was older than

Hesper, so he said in a stern voice, “If you don’t want to give it, then don’t. I didn’t want anything from

you in the first place.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

Hesper couldn’t help but laugh, and Stephen realized that he had been fooled. He looked at Hesper

with some annoyance, and sald, “Don’t you want me to give you a disguise next time? Don’t forget that

I’m your elder!”

“Yes, yes, yes, you’re my elder.”

Hesper shook the can in front of Stephen and said, “Is a bottle of canned peaches good enough to

make this elder feel better and forgive me?”

Looking at Hesper, Stephen suddenly felt his vision go black. Countless scenes whizzed past his eyes.

He tried to reach out but could not grasp anything that slipped past his fingers.

“Mr. Cyrus?”

Hesper waved her hand in front of Stephen. “Are you alright?”

Stephen closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened them again.

“Mr. Cyrus?” Hesper called out to him again.

Stephen frowned. “I’m not dead yet. Stop calling my name like you’re calling my soul to come back.”

Although she knew that Stephen was just being stubborn, Hesper still felt an impulse to leave him

behind and walk away. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and help me to sit on the side for a while.”

Stephen sounded weak, and Hesper did not want to argue with a patient. She brought him to the side

and asked, “Why did you suddenly become ill again? Did you think of something? Your face. suddenly

turned very bad.”

“Yeah, every time I see you, I feel like I’m about to pass out.”
