A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love
Chapter 374

Chapter 374

She had a crush on him for over a decade. Hesper came back to the present and smiled at herself.

She always thought that she found some sort of evidence of his feelings for her, so she was willing to give everything up for that illusion.

"Hesper, what are you doing out here in the cold?"

Hesper turned around and saw Helen walking over. She put a jacket on her. "I saw that you disappeared after dinner so I came over to take a look."

Helen saw the debris on the floor but didn't comment on it and instead said, "It's too cold outside.

You're going to be sick for a long time if you catch a cold. Come inside, I'll get the cook to make

some soup for you."

"...Thanks."

Even though Hesper didn't think Helen was sincerely nice to her, she didn't want to reject her offer, so she went in with her.

Matthew could tell that something was wrong with her and walked over while Helen went to the

kitchen.

"What's going on?"

Hesper knew that she couldn't hide anything from him, so she came clean. "Rickard came and set

off some fireworks for me."

"... What is he playing at?" Matthew frowned. He saw with his own eyes how Rickard treated Hesper. Even if he had changed, to Matthew, he was someone who would frame his own wife. Hesper shook her head.

Rickard did that because he wanted to repay Hesper for loving him for more than a decade.

Hesper never realized that Rickard knew all the love and regret she felt. He had intentionally ignored the burning passion she had for him.

In Rickard's eyes, none of that was important. However, now he was trying his best to come up with a way to remind her.

Matthew could tell that she wasn't herself, so he walked over and rested his hand on her shoulder. "Don't overthink. Have some soup and go to sleep. You won't remember any of this tomorrow." "Alright."

Maybe it was psychological but Hesper kept feeling that her head was aching worse. After drinking the soup Helen brought to her, she went to sleep.

"I'm sure that you've caught a cold." Helen helped her up. "Go sleep. I'll bring Hesper to her room. Matthew, don't stay up too late too. We don't want you two to fall sick." "Alright."

Hesper pressed her lips together as Helen helped her to her room.

"Thanks, Aunt Helen."

Helen paused and leaned closer, then put her hand on Hesper's shoulder. "We're a family. There's no need to say thanks."

Hesper went to sleep after speaking to her for a little while. Helen stood next to her with a few strands of hair in her hand. She watched her sleep and looked like she had an internal struggle but soon turned around and left the room.
