A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 452

They were getting more and more derailed from the topic. Hesper hastily changed another topic and Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

said, "Umm… Mrs. Pisano, it's getting late. I don't want to bother you too much. I'm fine right now. You

should go back to sleep."

Isobella nodded. "Leave the broken glass at the door. You may accidentally cut your hand since it's

dark here. I'll get the maid to clean it up tomorrow… Alright, it is getting late. You should get back to

bed."

"Okay."

Hesper heaved out a long sigh of relief after sending Isobella away. She locked the door and turned

around, only to realize that she was doing something she should not have been doing, just as Rickard

had said earlier in the afternoon.

However, the thing was that she and Rickard did not do anything, and she had no relationship with

Pennleigh whatsoever.

Rickard came out of the restroom, and there was a slightly awkward and helpless expression sitting on

his face. Hesper found his expression somewhat funny, but she could not laugh out loud. In the end,

she just cleared her throat and said, "Alright. I need to sleep. You should leave now."

Rickard also had not figured out how to talk to Hesper about what happened back then. Now that she

had forgotten about it, he could think of the best way to make Hesper accept the thing, so he nodded.

"Then you rest well. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."

Frowning, Hesper asked, "Since when did I say I'm going to the hospital with you? Did you not hear my

conversation with Mrs. Pisano just now? I'm fine. I don't need to go to the hospital, and I'll definitely not

follow you to the hospital. I'm Pennleigh's girlfriend right now, got it?"

"You shouldn't look down on your leg injuries. I already told you that I've found a doctor that can treat

your leg injury. Before that, can you make sure you won't injure your leg again?"

Looking at Rickard's serious face, Hesper gave a cold smirk. "This is my leg. What has it got to do with

you?"

"This matter has been decided."

Without giving Hesper a chance to argue, Rickard pushed open the door and walked out. Then he

suddenly turned back and calmly said, "I still don't believe a word of what you said about liking

Pennleigh. Don't forget this, Hesper. I grew up with you."

It was a sleepless night for Hesper. Fortunately, she had already made plans with Pennleigh to leave

early the night before. Looking at the tightly closed door of Rickard's room, Hesper breathed a sigh of

relief.

Hesper's countenance was pale. Pennleigh had been observing her the entire time, so it went without

saying that he noticed that Hesper had glanced at Rickard's room several times. Whether it was

intentional or unintentional, he did not know.

It seemed to him that something happened last night. That being said, he snapped back to sense and

said, "Let's go."

When he saw that Hesper was behaving strangely with her leg, he frowned and asked, "What

happened to your leg?"

Hesper did not want to tell him about the thing that happened last night. She did not want to tell

Pennleigh that it was an old injury either as it involved some unpleasant memories that she did not

want to talk about. Therefore, she told Pennleigh the same excuse she told Isobella last night.

"Did you sprain your leg?" Pennleigh asked as he looked at Hesper amusingly. "Do you need me to

carry you to the car?"

Hesper responded with a punch and replied, "That's not necessary. It isn't anything serious."

They did not bring much with them when they came, and after Hesper cleaned up the glass at the door,

both of them left.
