A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 293

Matthew snapped back when he noticed that Hesper was looking around, then looked at the cake and NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

shook his head. “Nothing.”

“Hmm?” Hesper knew that something was wrong, but he tried to cover it up. She remembered that

Matthew told her she looked a lot like Rachel Lane, and it dawned on her.

“Are you thinking about Rachel?”

Matthew didn’t hide it and nodded. He kept his eyes on the cake but they weren’t in focus. “Whenever

we have a party at home, everyone wouldn’t have time to take care of me and Rachel. She would

always sneak into the kitchen and bring cakes out.”

“The cakes were usually hot, and she would pinch her earlobes like how you did and look at me with a

cheeky smile.”

There were so many memories. Matthew would smile sadly because he had to remember his sister

based on his memories… and he was glad that they were all good ones.

Hesper covered her mouth. “You don’t have any updates on her yet? You’ve been looking for her for

years. Do you think she just forgot about her past? As you said, it was so long ago and she was really

young when she went missing.”

“Maybe…”

Matthew shook her head. “I shouldn’t have brought this up. If you’re still hungry, we can get them to

cook something. Even if there’s a party that night, we can’t let you starve.”

“I know.” Hesper took a big bite of the cake. “Don’t worry, I won’t starve myself.”

The friends and relatives that arrived the day before were the closer ones. The guests that arrived on

the day itself came in groups. Hesper hid upstairs and didn’t feel like going down.

Hepser met all the guests before this.

Some were talkative, some were nosy, and some just loved to cause drama. Hesper hated all that and

always wondered if they just had too much time on their hands.

Hesper just poked her head out from upstairs but someone saw her.

“Is that Hesper upstairs?”

“Help!”

Hesper turned and wanted to escape, but the random relative’s voice managed to draw everyone’s

attention to her, so there was no way she could get away.

Matthew was chatting with Uncle Simon, the fourth uncle who rarely went home. When he heard the

voice, he looked up and saw Hesper trying to run away and couldn’t help but smile.

“The girl really is a lot like Rachel.”

Simon’s eyes were on Hesper. He saw Hesper smiling and nodding at him, so he nodded back and

looked back to Matthew. “I didn’t know why you took her in, but I guess I could see now.”

I

Matthew didn’t speak then Simon continued. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about her. When you

came to me for a fake DNA test, you probably knew that I’m good at keeping secrets.”

“Yes.”

Simon was always overseas and rarely returned. Hesper never met the legendary Uncle Simon. All she

knew was that he was a good-looking man. Theodore, who was younger, already looked like an old

man, vet when Simon stood next to Matthew, they looked the same age.
