A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 441

“I don’t think I’ll be giving a speech or anything like that just yet. It’s very rare for our place to be this

boisterous, so let’s not spoil the fun.”

Pennleigh turned his head to the side and picked up a piece of celery and shrimp cocktail for Hesper.

“This is our home chef’s signature dish, try it.”

‘She doesn’t like celery.”

Rickard watched this scene coldly, but in the next second, Hesper actually picked the piece of celery up

and smiled at Pennleigh. “Wow, it tastes much better than expected.”

Pennleigh realized it and said apologetically, “Do you not like celery?”

Rickard’s gaze was still fixed on them, and although Hesper did not turn her head, she could still feel

his scorching gaze, so she shook her head indifferently. “I might not have liked it very much in the past,

but it doesn’t mean that I won’t like things that I didn’t like before, right…? Actually, it turns out that

celery is more delicious than I imagined. It’s really good.”

“Glad to hear that.”

Even though she said so, Pennleigh did not see Hesper grab another piece of celery again, so he

instantly knew that Hesper only said that because of Rickard.

Aelinor did not look too happy about the reaction between the two either. After taking a few mouthfuls,

she claimed with a straight face that she was not feeling well, so she would stop eating for now.

Hesper could not care less about what had happened to Aelinor. And Rickard’s gaze continued to be

fixed on her from time to time. She could feel it, but Pennleigh was very good at acting like a perfect

boyfriend. He was so good at it that even Isobella patted him on the shoulder and told him helplessly

that he was being way too attentive.

“Just let us be, mother. We’ve gone through a lot just to get together. Don’t you think so, Hes?”

Hesper was older than Pennleigh by less than one year. When she was in the company, she would

usually address Pennleigh as Mr. Pisano, and although she thought of him as a younger brother deep

down, she had never heard him call her Hes.

Seeing Isobella’s gossiping gaze, Hesper rubbed her temples with her hands in embarrassment. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Alright, that’s enough, Penn. Can’t you see just how bashful Hesper is?” Isobella patted Pennleigh’s

back. “You used to be such a boring and introverted person, I really didn’t expect you to turn into such

an attentive and doting man after falling in love. You look just like your father from back when we were

still young.”

The food at the Pisanos tasted really good. Hesper was acting while eating and thinking about

something else deep down too, so before she realized it, she had already eaten almost everything that

Pennleigh had been fetching onto her plate, to the point where she felt a little unwell in her stomach.

Only then did she realize that she seemed to have been very open to all sorts of food all night, and she

did not even know how much she had eaten so far.

“I’ll stop eating now.” Hesper whispered in Pennleigh’s ear. “I want to go out for a stroll.”

“Okay, do you want me to go with you?”

“…There’s no need for that.” Hesper shook her head. “Perhaps I’ve eaten too much. I’ll be back in a

while. Mrs. Pisano will surely follow us out if you were to go out with me.”

It could be seen that Isobella was more satisfied with Hesper now than before, so what Hesper said

was not unreasonable. Pennleigh could only nod. “Okay, go then. If you can’t find the way, you can ask

the servant to lead you outside.”

“Okay, got it.”

Walking outside, Hesper finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…Although it was said to be a luncheon, it was almost evening now.

After all, it seemed that everyone gathered there that day not just for a meal but to catch up with each

other, so they talked about all kinds of topics. In addition to that, Hesper did not know anyone apart

from Isobella, Pennleigh, and Rickard, so it was really difficult for her to go around and initiate

conversations.
