A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 437

“Aelinor, are you-

Hesper grabbed Pennleigh and made eye contact with him. When Pennleigh saw her eyes, even

though he didn’t stop frowning, he didn’t say anything more either.

Isobella saw that and appreciated Hesper even more.

“Alright, go upstairs. I’ll take care of Hesper.”

Pennleigh didn’t really want to but still nodded, then looked at Hesper. “I’ll be back soon.”

Hesper smiled and felt that Pennleigh was speaking like she was a child. The funny thing is, to her,

Pennleigh was the child. She nodded. “Go, I’ll be waiting here.”

Aelinor watched them whisper to each other and stomped her foot in jealousy.

If Pennleigh didn’t treat her as a younger sister just because she was younger, Hesper wouldn’t

happen! Penn should be hers and hers alone!

“How long do you plan to stay here? Where’s your mother?”

Aelinor turned to face Isobella and put her head on her shoulder. “She went traveling with dad. You’re

here and you treat me like I’m your daughter. That’s why my parents are so comfortable leaving me

with you.”

When Aelinor spoke, she had her eyes on Hesper half the time, but Hesper couldn’t care less.

about that.

To be exact, she had no reason to be jealous of Aelinor for how important she was to Isobella or

“Hesper, another guest will be arriving later. I’m sorry for meeting both of you on the same day,”

Isobella said. “However, you don’t need to be too constrained. Just make yourself at home.”

Hesper nodded but based on Isobella’s reaction, she could tell that Isobella saw the next guest as

someone important, so it couldn’t be just anyone.

That was even better. Everyone would stop staring at her.

Hesper thought this as she stood at the edge of the crowd. She wanted to be a wallflower until

Pennleigh came back, then she would make an excuse and leave.

“Hey.”

Hesper looked up. Aelinor was standing in front of her with her chin held high.

It was a rude gesture, but Hesper didn’t care. She was going to pretend that she wasn’t there.

“Hey, you should reply when I’m talking to you. Haven’t you been taught manners?” Aelinor didn’t

ep her voice down, so a few people around them looked around. That was when Hesper turned to look

at her.

“It’s rude to address someone just by saying ‘hey’. Where did you learn your manners?”

You-

Isobella paid attention to what was happening there. When she saw how childish Aelinor was, shel

sighed.

If they compared family backgrounds, Aelinor’s family would be the perfect match to theirs. Even

though Aelinor was a little spoiled, Isobella had known her since she was a child.
