A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Mrs. Potter was a little flattered. She had been a housekeeper for many years, and it was very common for others to look down on her because of her profession. Someone who could communicate with their help as they would with an ordinary person could be considered a very well-mannered employer. As for someone like Hesper... She had never met one yet.

"It's just my responsibility. If you want to thank me, then you can thank my employer." Mrs. Potter smiled and handed over the completed forms to Hesper. "Congratulations on your discharge."

After lying in the hospital for a week, it felt like her bones were about to crumble.

Fortunately, she did not completely delay her work. She had finished designing Juniper's wedding dress, and all she needed to do now was to wait for the proofs to be produced and then hang them onto the mannequin. With that, her project with Juniper would come to an end.

Hesper walked into the yard and saw the roses that had been placed by her in the yard before.

'They haven't been taken care of for a whole week.'

Hesper walked over, squatted down, looked at the fresh roses that had maintained their color from before and could not help but feel that something was wrong.

'The flowers sold by this kind of florist will be cut fresh in order to look good, which means that there's no way that these could continue to survive. Their owner can only find ways to prolong their lifespan. But these flowers are still as good as new.'

Although she could not figure it out, Hesper did not take it to heart.

'It couldn't be that a sympathetic, young girl saw that my flowers were already wilting, so she went to buy another bouquet and left it in my yard, could it?'

Thinking of this, Hesper could not help but smile then bent down and picked the flower up from the ground.

'The vase that I found before isn't really worthy of such a bouquet. I should go back and find a classier vase for them.'

Rickard watched as Hesper brought the roses into her house from the balcony. She seemed very delighted, so he was relieved.

Although he had managed to rescue the previous bouquet, it had still been a week, and most of the petals had already wilted. Hence, he had no choice but to buy a new bouquet and left it in the vase before Hesper came back.

"Mr. Duval, Ms. Rivera's condition is relatively stable now. I asked the doctor before she was discharged from the hospital. It's completely fine for her to receive any form of treatment now." Mrs. Potter came over and saw Rickard secretly watching Hesper again, but she was not surprised by his actions.

Rickard nodded. "Okay, thank you for all you've done over this period of time."

"... You're welcome." Mrs. Potter could not help but chuckle. "I don't know if you've noticed, but you seem to have become more and more like Ms. Rivera."

Hearing this, Rickard was astounded for a moment.

Mrs. Potter could not help but say, "Although I don't know what kind of past you and Ms. Rivera share, after getting to know you over this period of time, I can see that you love Ms. Rivera very much, so don't do something that you'll regret for the rest of your life."

Rickard stared at Hesper's courtyard and muttered after a while, "What if she doesn't want to forgive me...?"

'Love and an apology that came three years late? They might be worthless.'

The proof came out very soon; Hesper completed all the finishing touches of the wedding dress one day in advance.

Although the two wedding gowns were made for Juniper, they had different meanings to Hesper, as this was her first time making wedding gowns.

In her wedding with Rickard back then, the form was far greater than the content. She had not even had the chance to choose the wedding gown for herself, so her memory of that part was a little blurry. "I might have to hand these to Juniper without getting anything in return," Hesper muttered.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Hesper responded, then stood up, and went to open the door.

"Hesper."
