A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 682

Hestia did not know what Jessie and Zikmund were talking about, but she still decided to text Rickard

and ask him to take Zikmund away.

After all, Zikmund was a burden to Jessie now. Besides, Hestia did not want to waste her time on

Zikmund, so calling Rickard was the most efficient way to deal with the situation.

She assumed that the contract that Zikmund talked about was the contract that he signed with Jessie

when both of them decided to fake their marriage. Hestia did not really care about the contract. After

all, any contract could be resolved with money, and the last thing Hestia lacked was money.

Jessie did not know that Hestia had planned everything for her as she was still confronting Zikmund.

Zikmund wanted to explain himself, but he struggled to find the right words

"I don't trust you staying here with Hestia. Do you even know what kind of family the Deschamps are?"

Zikmund asked as he glanced warily at Hestia. "Do you really think that the current Hestia is the same NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

as the Hesper you once knew?"

Jessie found it absurd that Zikmund's only defense was to badmouth Hestia.

"This is the safest place for me. Since the woman you brought into my life caused me to miscarry, I can

never go back to you. You've lost my trust," she retorted.

This was the first time Jessie mentioned their unborn child and Zikmund's expression turned sour. "I

told you, it was an accident..."

"Zikmund." Jessie and Rickard's voices rang out simultaneously. Zikmund turned his head around and

saw Rickard walking toward him.

Seeing Rickard, Jessie knew that it must be Hestia who called him there. She decided to say nothing

more and turned to sit down. "If you have nothing more to say, you can leave, Mr. Gunther. Even if you

do have something to say, don't bother saying it. I don't want to listen."

Zikmund wanted to speak further, but Rickard placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder and led him

out.

After both of them had left, Hestia finally came down from upstairs. She looked at Jessie, who was

sitting on the couch in a daze. She handed her a card and said, "The money inside should be enough

to terminate your contract."

"What?" Jessie was stunned, but she soon realized what Hestia was talking about. She nodded with

tears in her eyes and took the card from Hestia's hand. "Thank you so much, Hessy. If it weren't for

you, I don't know what I'd do."

'Who among us hasn't experienced disappointment in their younger days?' Hestia thought

expressionlessly.

On the other side, Rickard led Zikmund out. Zikmund was a bit confused, but he waited until they were

outside before he said, "Didn't you say that the current Hestia isn't worth trusting? Why did you still

listen to her? Rickard, it isn't like you to get fooled by her."

"You're the one who was fooled here," Rickard said as he turned around to look at Zikmund calmly.

"Tina has been abroad for so many years. Do you really think it's just a coincidence that she suddenly

came back now? And as for what you said earlier, I once said the same thing to Hesper."

"Tina is different from Juniper." Zikmund came to a pause. After all, they did not think Juniper was that

kind of person either. They grew up together, and no one could have imagined that someone would

suddenly become so unrecognizable.

Rickard looked at Zikmund's expression and knew that he had taken in his words, so he patted his

shoulder. "We haven't seen Tina in so long since she left Halwanest, let alone know her well. Why is it

that your child with Jessie happened to fall in an accident around her? Do you really think it was a

coincidence?"
