A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 435

Hesper removed her glasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

A few months ago, Pennleigh’s mother, Isobella invited her over too. Hesper used her studies and work

as an excuse and said that she didn’t have time to visit.

However, she didn’t expect her to still remember her.

“My mom really likes you. She always asks about you whenever I text her.” Pennleigh paused after

that, then continued. “I can’t take it anymore.”

If she said no again, it would start to sound rude. Hesper rejected her on multiple occasions, so this

time Isobella only invited her when she was sure she had time.

Hesper could tell that Isobella liked her. Maybe because she didn’t have her own family, Hesper had

always respected the elders and didn’t want them to hate her.

“Why not…”

“This weekend?”

-They spoke at the same time. Pennleigh was embarrassed. “I’m sorry, if I didn’t come up with such

a brilliant plan, you wouldn’t have to be dragged into this.”

Dragged?

Hesper beamed. “Not at all, it’s just a meal.”

“…Really?”

Hesper was confused.

When they got to Pennleigh’s home, Hesper realized that she underestimated the situation.

Pennleigh was from an affluent family, that Hepser knew. However, when she walked into the building

that looked like a castle, Hesper realized that they were filthy rich.

“…This is my dad’s preference. He’s half Halwanese and half Fredonian. You haven’t met him before,

but he has a pleasant temper, much better than my mom’s.”

Hesper hadn’t witnessed Isobella’s bad temper. Even though she turned her down multiple times,

Isobella was still very friendly to her.

Pennleigh knew what she was thinking and he looked confused too. “I don’t know why she likes

you so much either.”

Since it was an invitation by someone older, Hesper didn’t use her disguise. Instead, she put on light

makeup, which was part of etiquette.

After walking into the hall with Pennleigh, Isobella saw Hesper from afar and immediately greeted her.

“Here! The two children are finally here. I thought they’d arrive later.”

Hesper smiled and looked toward the crowd, then chuckled and asked in a tone that only Pennleigh

could hear, “Are these all your family members?”

Pennleigh signed. “They’re not. They’re more than that. All you need to know is that you’re not going to Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

get away tonight. I’ll be behind you, so just go ahead.”

Hesper thought that ‘just go ahead’ didn’t sound very reassuring. It sounded more like a tease. Then

Isobella walked over.

“You seem to be very close with Penn, Hesper.”

Isobella looked at Hesper,then paused.

“Hesper?”

Hesper nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Pisano. Do I… look funny?”

Another woman stood behind Isobella and held her hand after they walked over. “You’re too modest.

You said that even though your daughter-in-law’s looks are average, she’s good in every other way. But

from what I see, she’s a beauty.”

Hesper and Pennleigh exchanged looks while Isobella smiled and pushed Pennleigh aside and

grabbed Hesper’s hand. “Hesper doesn’t put too much effort into

absolutely stunning when she does.”

Even though she was obviously showing off, when Isobella looked at Hesper, she felt that Hesper did

look a lot prettier than usual.
