A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 421

“One more thing. Nathaniel contacted me several days ago.”

Hesper was stunned for a moment when she heard that name. Lowering her head, she said, “You

didn’t tell him about my whereabouts, did you?”

“Don’t worry, I know you don’t want the Lanes to know where you are. Mr. Tucker and the Lanes are

close, so there’s a chance that he’ll tell your brother if he finds out your location,” Robert replied. He ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

patted Hesper’s shoulder. “I didn’t lie to him though. I just told him that you’re still in Fredonia, that’s

all.”

Roberto had always treated his friends with sincerity. Hesper knew that he would not lie to Nathaniel,

but she was very grateful that he was willing to cover up for her.

“Thank you, Mr. Sanchez.”

“Don’t mention it,” Roberto replied. “I noticed that you’ve been frowning a lot ever since you came to

Fredonia. Actually, you don’t have to be so hard on yourself. You’ve already done a great job.”

“Yeah, thank you, Mr. Sanchez,” Hesper said, offering him a smile.

Roberto knew that Hesper was just entertaining him from the smile on her face, but he did not. want to

say anything anymore. In fact, Hesper knew everything Roberto said. It was just that time did not allow

her to take things slowly.

After Roberto left, Hesper sat on the couch for a while and let her thoughts drift away. After a while, she

took her phone out and hesitated for a moment before logging into her old account. Perhaps she had

accumulated too many messages for the past few months, so it was stuck on the homepage for a

while. By the time Hesper got in, she realized that there were more messages than she imagined.

Most of the messages were sent by Matthew, and the latest one was from that same day. Hesper

lowered her head, but she did not dare to click and read them, fearing that Matthew might be waiting

for her on the other side of the phone.

She had been enduring it for a long time, and she was finally making some progress in her career. She

would never forgive herself if she allowed her own effort to go down the drain because of a few

moments of hesitation.

Other than Matthew, Nathaniel was the one who sent her the most messages. Hesper read through his

messages, and most of them were asking how she was doing. In addition, some of the messages were

also about the Lanes as well as Matthew.

Arthur fell sick again after he learned that Hesper had left and gone off the grid. The silver lining was

that it wasn’t serious. Another piece of good news was that Wilfred did not manage to get any benefit

after she left.

As for Simon, after he was released from his grounding, Arthur sent him into the company to assist

Rachael in completing the projects that Hesper had left behind.

Hesper had already anticipated that Racheal would enter the Lane Holdings. After all, when they found

her back then, she was sent Into the Lane Holdings to familiarize herself with the business of the

company.

It was just that compared to Hesper’s dedication and quick adaptation, Rachael’s performance was

quite average.

However, Hesper did not really care about these things. It did not matter to her how the company. was

doing right now. Besides, she and Rachael were two different entities. When she was receiving

education, Rachael was staying in a construction site.

Comparatively speaking, she might be luckier than Rachael.

Hesper paused for a moment when the thought surfaced in her mind. It took her a while before. she

continued reading through the message.

[Nathaniel: Matt has been working all day long. I hardly ever see him taking a rest. He’s also

investigating Uncle Theodore, but Master Lane keeps him in a place where we can’t find him.]

‘Uncle Theodore has gone missing too?”

This was the last message.

Hesper turned off the phone and frowned.
