    Watching Hugo eat, Scarlett couldn’t help but notice his slow, deliberate movements, each gesture exuding a sense of

    elegance and refinement.

    She had to admit, it was quite pleasing to the eye.

    Moreover, their three little ones had inherited Hugo’s habits. No matter where they were, they always managed to maintain

    that same poised demeanor while eating.

    Thinking about it, Scarlett’s lips curled into a smile.

    At that moment, Hugo nced at her with a teasing expression, “Watching me eat makes you this happy?”

    Scarlett snapped back to reality, “You’re overthinking it!”

    “Oh? You don’t have any special ns or thoughts about me?” Hugo asked, narrowing his eyes.

    “I just think you look quite pleasing when you eat,” Scarlett replied honestly.

    Hugo raised an eyebrow, a smile ying on his lips, “Why do I feel like you’re flirting with me?”

    Scarlett arched her browi, /i“That just means there’s something wrong with your thinking!”

    Hugo leaned in, lowering his voice, “I’m intrigued.”

    Scarlett met his gaze, and Hugo continued, “If you have any ns or thoughts about me, just say the word. I’m more than willing to offer my services, free of charge!”

    Scarlett stood there, speechless.

    Hugo’s smile grew even more mischievous.

    Scarlett wasn’t exactly shy, but her cheeks flushed, especially as images of their passionate kiss fromst night shed through her mind.

    Thinking back, that night was definitely intense.

    “I’m going to the restroom!” she said, getting up and leaving.

    Watching her walk away, Hugo’s smile was particrly charming.

    It was rare to see Scarlett so bashful in front of him.

    As he continued eating, Hugo thought to himself, the food tasted pretty good.

    Scarlett looked at her reflection, her mind asionally reying moments with Hugo.

    Even thoughst night was a whirlwind, she realized she didn’t mind it as much. Deep down, she knew it was only with

    Hugo that she’d feel this way; with anyone else, she wouldn’t.

    She spaced out for a moment until someone walked in, snapping her back to reality. She washed her hands and then

    headed out.

    Just as she stepped ioutside/ii, /iher phone rang. As she reached for itb, /bsomeone suddenly bumped into her.

    Scarlett’s phone slipped ifrom /iher hand and hit the ground with a thud.

    She frowned and bent down to pick it up, but the person who bumped into her was quicker and had already retrieved it.

    “Sorry, I didn’t mean to!” he said in perfect English.

    As he handed the phone back to her, Scarlett took it and checked it over, saying, “It’s okay.”

    “Check if your phone is damaged. If it is, I canpensate you!” he offered, his deep eyes fixed on Scarlett with an

    indescribableplexity,

    “iNo /ineed!i” /iScarlett replied, about to walk away when he spoke again, “How about we exchange numbers? That way, if there’s any issue, iyou /ican contact me anytime!”

    “Really, it’s not necessary!” Scarlett declined.

    “Let’s exchange numbers anyway!” he insisted.

    Scarlett looked at him, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Just leave me your number.”

    “But I don’t have a business card. How about I call you?” he suggested.

    Scarlett thought for a moment and then gave him her number. He took out his phone and dialed her number.

    After her phone chimed, Scarlett Adler spoke up, “Got it!”

    “If there’s any issue with your phone, just let me know, and I’ll make it right!” the man said, his words filled with genuine

    kindnessb. /b

    Scarlett nodded dismissively and turned to leave.

    However, after taking a few steps, she paused and nced back at him.

    At that moment, the man looked at Scarlett, a smile ying on his lips.

    Seeing his amber eyes, Scarlett furrowed her brow slightly, then lowered her gaze and walked away.

    Watching her retreating figure, the man’s smile widened, and his amber eyes glimmered with something unusual,

    Just then, a voice came through his earpiece, “Boss, how did it go?”

    “Everything’s fine, smooth sailing!”

    “We’ve also identified the person with her, it might be a bit tricky.”

    “I got it, heading over now!”

    Scarlett returned, and Hugo Hodges looked at her, “What took you so long?”

    “Nothing much,” Scarlett replied, not giving the previous encounter much thought.

    “By the way, Scarlett, there’s something I want to discuss with you,” Hugo said.

    “What?”

    “Did you know that Grandpa and Grandpa Adler once bought an estate together?” Hugo asked.

    Scarlett nodded. “I think I heard Grandpa mention it once.”

    “Now that they’re both getting older and don’t have anyone to look after them, I thought it would be a good idea for them

    to move into the estate. This way, they can take care of each other, and we can also ikeep /ian eye ion /ithe little ones,” Hugo

    exined.

    Hearing Hugo’s suggestion, Scarlett understood his intention.

    In the past, she might have opposed the idea, but now, she didn’t.

    After a moment of thought, she nodded. “As long as Grandpa agrees, I have no objections.”

    “And you don’t mind the little ones moving there too?” Hugo asked.

    “Nope!” Scarlett replied.

    Hugo looked at her, a hint of surprise in his eyes. “And you…”

    “I’ll visit and stay there whenever I have time,” Scarlett said.

    Hugo couldn’t help but smile. He had expected some resistance, but things were going more smoothly than he had

    anticipated.

    Sometimes, Scarlett’s thoughts were really hard to figure out.

    Noticing Hugo’s hesitation, Scarlett added, “That house is jointly owned by my grandfather and your grandfather. ording to inheritance rights, I own half of it. So even if I move in, it’s not like I’m taking advantage of you!”

    Upon hearing this, Hugo quickly replied, “Of course! If you agree, I’ll tell Grandpa to have them move out!”

    Scarlett nodded, “Agreed!”

    Hugo couldn’t help but smile as he looked at her, thinking about the wedding his grandpa had mentioned. He was

    increasingly excited about it.

    Having their wedding at that estate seemed like a great idea. It was big, beautiful, and grand enough.

    Just then, a figure passed by them. Hugo was lost in thought, but as he caught a glimpse of the person’s profile, his smile

    slowly froze.

    He recalled seeing someone at the dock, just a distant nce, but there were ovepping features with the person in his

    mind.

    As Hugo was pondering, the person suddenly turned to look at him, giving him a meaningful smile…

    At that moment, Hugo Hodges was certain.

    It was him.

    It had to be him.

    And there was no way he believed that his appearance today was just a coincidence.

    He was here for a reason.

    His gaze shifted to Scarlett. “Scarlett…”
