A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

Sophia and Juniper were so terrified of his icy cold tone that their bodies shivered. However, they had always been skilled at putting on an act. Hence, Sophie pouted her lips in grief right away.

“Why are you being so fierce to us? I feel very bad that she fell off the building too. I’m your sister and the baby’s aunt. Do you think I would put the mother and baby in harm’s way?”

“Yet, someone witnessed both of you making things difficult for her! Do you dare say you didn’t do it?”

Rickard flew into a great rage. If the accident was really caused by them, he could finally understand why Hesper would risk her life just to leave the Duvals.

If he was in her place, he would not be able to stay with a family as vile, cruel, and malicious as that!

Sophia continued to cry and complained, “Dick, will you please stop believing in a one-sided story I did have a brief dispute with her, but that was because she disregarded your order and insisted on leaving with the baby, and I stopped her

“But who would have predicted that Hesper would behave like a madwoman and snatch the baby’s blanket before crying and running away. Juni and I tried to stop her after noticing the situation, but by the time we arrived in a rush, she had already jumped off the building

“Are you telling the truth?”

Rickard could not believe Sophia’s statement, so he turned his head to look at Juniper He spoke in an unprecedentedly stern tone, “Juniper, you’ve never lied to me. Come and tell me if both of you were involved in this matter!”

Feeling recalcitrant and unjustly treated, she immediately assumed an expression that looked as if she was about to cry at any moment. She said in an extremely sad tone. “Are you suspicious of me, Rickard? Could it be that you still don’t know what sort of person I am? Or is it that, to you, I’ve already turned into someone so terrifying?”

At the end of her speech, crystal clear teardrops rolled out of her eyes, and she covered her face, sobbing soundlessly from being aggrieved.

Rickard was puzzled all at once. Could it be that it was his fault for overthinking?

“Don’t cry. I didn’t accuse you of anything. I was only asking.”

“If you believed me, you wouldn’t even ask!” Juniper said sadly, “I was under the assumption that we have. a friendship that lasts so many years, and my departure back then was to help you achieve your aim. But I didn’t expect that you would actually doubt me! You’re making me look like a joke!”

She cried louder and louder with her shoulders bouncing.

Rickard pursed his lips, but in the end, he could not bear to do it anymore. “Alright, I won’t ask again from now on. Don’t cry. You’ve always had sensitive eyes that hurt when you cry.”
