A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 50

Seeing Hesper being picked up and carried by another man with his own eyes, Rickard’s gaze turned

“Stop right there.” He dashed forward so quickly that Benji, who was holding the umbrella for him, could

not even react in time and keep up with his pace.

Before anyone else present could react, Rickard had already rushed into the rain and stood in front of

Matthew, blocking their way.

‘He’s the man who made things difficult for Hesper in the hospital earlier today.’

Matthew remembered Rickard; he had never had a good impression of men who liked to bully women.

“Step aside,” he said as his black windbreaker rattled in the cold wind.

“Over my dead body!”

The atmosphere between the two men was tense. Rickard grinned ferociously. “Do you know who I

am? The woman that you’re holding in your arms is my rightful wife! And you’re asking me to step

aside?”

A hint of astonishment flashed across Matthew’s eyes. He then lowered his head and stared at

Hesper.

‘Judging solely from how they’ve been interacting with each other, it’s almost impossible to tell that the

two of them are husband and wife.’

Hesper leaned weakly in Matthew’s arm and said apologetically, “I’ll explain it to you later. Please take

me away from this place now.”

“Hesper Rivera!” Exasperated, Rickard instantly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. “Is there

any sense of shame left in you? You’re still one of the Duvals and I’m still your husband! And you’re

telling me that you’re planning to leave this place with another man?”

“That’s enough-

Hesper had never felt this fatigued before. The freezing rain had drenched her inside out, and the

bone-piercing cold and lethargy seemed to emanate from the core of every single cell within her.

She stared at Rickard and uttered one word after another. “I… I’ve signed the divorce agreement; it’s in

the nursery room. If you don’t believe me, you can get someone to go and check it out. So no matter

where I want to go or who I want to go with, you no longer have the right to interfere.”

Rickard’s body swayed and almost lost balance.

‘I remember it now. I saw her entering the nursery room before she came out here and started

kneeling. I originally thought she was worried about the baby, but I never expected her to secretly sign

the agreement in the room!

‘Pfft, she really doesn’t want to waste any more time here, not even a second more.’

“Alright, with that being said, can you step aside already?” Matthew’s tone sounded extremely cold, not

because he wanted to go against Rickard, but because he could feel Hesper’s body getting colder and

colder.

‘If her condition continues to deteriorate, this woman might freeze to death.’

Rickard was still as stubborn as he usually was and refused to give in. He continued to block their way

indifferently and ordered Benji to go inside and grab the agreement.

After a long time, he proceeded to say, “Even though the agreement has been signed, we haven’t

undergone the official divorce procedures yet. So legally speaking, we’re still husband and wife.

Thus, you’re not allowed to leave this villa without my permission!”

Hesper’s gaze dimmed. “Rickard, why do you insist on keeping me here? What’s the point?”

She took a glance at the villa coldly; she really wanted to vent all the anger that had been accumulating

within her for a long time.

“The feelings that we once had for each other are long gone, and since day one, I’ve never cared about

the privileges that I can get as Mrs. Duval. I’ve also accepted and carried out all the punishments that

you imposed on me. Now all I ask of you is to please not show up in my life ever again! Can you do

that?!”

Madam Duval and Sophia, who arrived at the scene at that moment, pointed at Hesper angrily and

shouted, “Dick, since she wants to leave, just let her go! She’s left her signature on the divorce

agreement and handed it back to you, so she’s no longer one of us!”

“What’s more, she’s now cuddling with another man right in front of you, so who knows just how many

men she’s been with behind your back!”

Juniper held onto his sleeve tightly, comforting him and coughing at the same time. “Rickard, just let

her go. It’s time for you to let yourself go too. This marriage between you two was a mistake from the

very beginning. Plus, you’ve never loved her, have you? So now that she wants to leave you, we can

take this opportunity to start over. Back then, didn’t you say that you’ll always love me?”

A trace of struggle flashed across Rickard’s expression.

Hesper took one last glance at him, turned her head around, and laid back in Matthew’s arms. “Let’s

go.”

Hearing that, Matthew strode away immediately.

When they were passing by, Rickard stretched his hand out but, in the end, put it down.

In the heavy rain, Hesper lifted her head and took a glance at the man who was still frozen in place, not

knowing what was going through.

his mind.

However, Juniper suddenly lost consciousness and fell onto Rickard. He supported her and

disappeared from the yard immediately.

“Don’t cry anymore,” a man’s voice came from above.
