A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 688

At last, the time for the wedding had arrived. Hestia found herself idly fidgeting with her jewelry, while

Jessie assisted in placing her veil. A sense of emptiness crept up on Jessie as she realized that none

of Hestia's loved ones were present to share this momentous occasion with her. Despite it being a fake

marriage, it still felt pitifully lonesome.

"Stop," Hestia said, noticing the sadness in Jessie's eyes. "My parents know about the agreement, and

I asked Matthew not to come. This wedding is like a stage play. It's just for show, so don't take it too

seriously." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Jessie was speechless. All the sadness she had a minute ago disappeared into the thin air without a

single trace. However, Jessie was considered as Hestia's first friend. In the past, when she was still

living with the Deschamps, she always seemed unapproachable and either caused trouble for others or

amused herself as the mischievous king. No one dared to befriend her, but she did not seem to care.

"Hessy?" Nathaniel's voice rang out from outside. Hestia responded to him nonchalantly, and Jessie

nodded at her. She then took her hand and led her out.

When Nathaniel saw Hestie, his eyes glowed with delight as he commented, "You look beautiful today."

"Only today?" Hestia smiled. Even though her smile did not reach her eyes, she still looked captivating.

"Let's hurry up and finish the ceremony so we can all rest."

In secret, Jessie gave Hestia a thumbs up, but Nathaniel seemed unfazed. He took her hand, and their

outfits matched each other perfectly. The wedding proceeded as usual, and as Hestia walked down the

aisle, her eyes subconsciously searched the crowd for Rickard. Sure enough, she spotted him sitting in

the corner of the front row with Benji and Kenji with a stern look on his face.

The scene was quite comical, as many people in the upper class of Genecity knew what kind of

relationship Rickard and Hesper had. Although Hesper had transformed into "Hestia," at the end of the

day, she was still Rickard's ex-wife.

"Am I in a war zone now?" Benji exclaimed, earning himself a smack from Kenji on his back.

Rickard calmly watched as Hestia walked past him. She seemed to notice him and even smiled back at

him, but he could not tell if it was a provocation or something else.

It was only now that Benji saw through Hestia's true nature. She was such a wicked person.

Watching Nathaniel and Hestia getting married was an insult to Rickard. Some people snuck a glance

at Rickard, but there was a calm expression on his face as he glued his gaze to the bride.

Hestia had just wanted to make Rickard feel what it would be like to see the person he liked getting

married, but looking at Rickard's expression, she felt it was not fun at all.

Standing on the stage, Nathaniel delivered a speech while Hesper put on a fake smile, something she

had become used to in such situations. She simply plastered a smile on her face and let her mind

wander, completely oblivious to Nathaniel's words.

"I'm really happy that my wife chose me as her husband."
