A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 657

Hestia had heard of the name before. As far as she could recall, Zikmund was a friend of Rickard's.

However, she had not yet had the chance to meet him since returning to Genecity, so she did not know

him well.

When Vivienne heard the name, she scoffed. "I see. So you're going to marry Zikmund. It's hard to

believe that he still has the nerve to go through with a marriage, considering what a terrible person he

is. He's even worse than Carter. All of the ladies and socialites in Genecity steer clear of him as if he's

a disease."

"I was in contact with Zikmund way before you left, Hessy. He's a student of my mother's, and I told you

about our first blind date. I don't think you remember it now, but it was definitely not a pleasant

experience," Jessie sighed and continued. "At that time, I wanted to marry someone who didn't love me

just to deal with my family's problems, while Zikmund needed a tool to deal with his grandfather.

Therefore, we collaborated on this matter."

Although Hestia could not personally relate to Jessie's situation, she could envision feeling angry if one

of her close friends married someone unworthy just to appease their parents.

However, Hestia was confident that there must be a lot more to Jessie's story. Otherwise, things would

not escalate to this point, so she pressed on, "So why did you want to escape from Zikmund?"

Jessie lowered her head. Vivienne and Cheney looked at each other and came out of the room, leaving

Jessie and Hestia alone to talk to each other.

"Because neither Zikmund nor I followed our initial agreement. I developed feelings for him, while he

fell in love with someone else," Jessie said as she clenched her fist. "If he had openly regretted the

marriage, I would have let him go. But now he wants me to marry him to lie to his grandfather so that

he can be with that woman."

Hestia saw the light now. Long story short, Jessie did not want to marry someone she loved but did not

love her back. Marriage was like a tomb, and Hesper had already experienced it. Hestia didn't like

marriage either, so she patted Jessie's shoulder and said, "As long as you're with me, Zikmund won't

catch you."

Jessie looked gratefully at Hestia and said, "You're different from before but also very similar. If it was

Hesper, she would have helped me too."

No one had ever said that she was similar to Hesper before. Hestia smiled, "My name is Hestia

Deschamps. You can still call me that until my memories are fully restored."

"Okay."

After wandering outside for so long, Jessie only truly relaxed after seeing Hesper again. The past few

days were not as easy as she described, and Zikmund went to great lengths to bring her back. If it

weren't for the fact that her mother was his teacher, he probably would have gone to her house to find

her.

Jessie soon curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. Hestia covered her with a blanket and then thought

for a moment, 'Zikmund is a friend of Rickard, and I can feel that Rickard still has feelings for me. If I

approach him now, maybe I can help Jessie get rid of this trouble.'

Today's trip was not in vain. She had not only obtained information about her target but also gained a Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

friend. Hestia walked out of the room and realized that Cheney had been waiting at the door. Upon

seeing her, Cheney said, "Ms Deschamps, you can come here often in the future. The information we

can provide may exceed your imagination."

Hestia raised her eyebrows. After all, it seemed to her that Cheney did not like her getting close to

Vivienne.
