A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 453

However, as soon as both of them left, Rickard opened the door. He watched their receding figures and sighed helplessly. Although he was very confident that there was nothing between Hesper and Pennleigh, he could see that Pennleigh had a thing on Hesper.

'He's such an eyesore.'

Hesper felt more relaxed after leaving Isobella and Rickard.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Pennleigh asked as he looked at her somewhat relieved face. "Did something happen again last night? Did Rickard… Did he come to look for you?"

What happened was complicated. Hesper cleared her throat and replied, "Actually, nothing happened last night. I just suddenly remembered some of the things that happened in the past and realized that I might've misunderstood him."

Pennleigh could sense the hint of hesitation in Hesper's voice. He did not know the past between Hesper and Rickard, but he knew that they were divorced and they had a son.

After hearing what she said, he asked tentatively, "Then will you reconcile with him after realizing that you've misunderstood him?"

Pennleigh was never someone who would poke his nose into other people's affairs. Hesper felt it was strange for him to ask a question like this, but she still replied resolutely, "Of course, I will not. Rickard and I have more than a few problems and misunderstandings… We can never get back together again."

Having been together for over half a year, so Pennleigh considered himself quite adept at discerning whether Hesper was telling the truth or not. After hearing that she answered with such a resolution, his mood became a lot better.

"Do you like the coffee we got last time? Let's go get a cup later."

"Okay."

Not only did Hesper go off the grid, but she also changed her appearance. Apparently, she did not want Matthew to get even the slightest bit of information about her.

Even though he found Hesper, Rickard did not tell anyone about it. After learning that Pennleigh was her superior now, he became even calmer.

If there was really something going on between Hesper and Pennleigh, with Hesper's headstrong personality, he was certain that she would never continue working in Pennleigh's studio.

[Benji: There are many vacant units for sale near the villa where Ms. Rivera currently resides. Would you like to buy one?]

Rickard thought about it for a while. Hesper was currently living in Roberto's house, so if there were any changes in the surrounding property rights, Roberto would definitely inform her.

This was because this area was well-known for its security. Rickard speculated that Hesper might be avoiding someone who could harm her, so she would be extra cautious of those around her.
