“Just how much more are you going to amaze me?” Hugo Hodges asked, his eyes fixed intently on her.

Scarlett Adler glanced over at First and Second, who were standing nearby, smiling with their lips pressed

together. When they caught Scarlett’s gaze, they feigned a cough and then got into the car.

Scarlett turned back to Hugo, a slight smile playing on her lips. “Hugo, you really take judging by

appearances to a whole new level!”

Hugo didn’t seem to mind. “Everyone appreciates beauty. Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Not really, it just highlights how shallow you used to be!”

Suddenly, Hugo pulled Scarlett into his arms, his hand resting on her slender waist. “Say it again. I was just

unhappy with an arranged marriage, not shallow!”

As he spoke, his hand gently brushed her hair away from her ear. “Besides, this face hasn’t changed much

from before.”

Scarlett was about to retort, but the touch of his hand slowed her heartbeat.

“Hugo, we’re on the street. Do you really have to put on a show for everyone?” Scarlett asked.

Seeing her cheeks turn red, Hugo Hodges chuckled. “What, feeling shy?”

“They’re all watching from the car!” Scarlett Adler said, enunciating each word.

“Let them watch. We’re not doing anything inappropriate,” Hugo replied, unwilling to let go of the beauty in

his arms.

Scarlett gave him a look, and Hugo’s bravado instantly faded.

With a resigned raise of his eyebrows, he said, “Alright…”

He released her slender waist and put on a gentlemanly demeanor. Just as he was about to help her into the

car, he glanced back and saw First, Second, and Henry Fallon all peering through the window. As soon as he

turned, they quickly averted their eyes, pretending they hadn’t seen anything.

Hugo closed his eyes briefly, regaining his usual cool demeanor, and opened the car door for Scarlett with a

gentlemanly flair.

Once Scarlett was seated inside, Hugo followed her in. Despite the spaciousness of the limo, he sat right

next to her, showing no intention of moving away.

Inside the car, the atmosphere grew a bit awkward.

Things weren’t as lively without Fourth around.

First and Second felt a bit of pressure trying to keep up appearances in front of Hugo Hodges, unable to be

completely at ease.

Second smiled and glanced around, searching for a topic. “This stretch limo is really something, huh? So

comfortable!”

“Like it?” Hugo raised an eyebrow.

“Uh, yeah, it’s pretty comfy…”

“Then this car is yours. I’ll have the driver take you to school in it!”

Second was speechless.

First glanced at him, “You know, staying silent isn’t always awkward.”

Sometimes, it’s better not to point out the obvious struggles, isn’t it? But he decided to keep quiet.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat strange and hard to describe.

Just before they arrived, First suddenly remembered something and turned to Second, “Oh, we forgot to call

Tara Green. Can you check where she is?”

Mentioning Tara Green, Scarlett Adler looked up at them. “You invited Tara Green?”

First and Second nodded in unison, “Yeah!”

Scarlett Adler had a peculiar expression on her face.

“Is something wrong?” First asked.

Scarlett smiled, “Oh, nothing. It’s just that things might get a bit lively soon…”

Before long, the car arrived at the hotel.

After getting out, they headed straight inside.

There was a large open–air balcony, beautifully decorated by a professional team. It had an elegant yet

playful style, perfect for children–both pretty and lively.

At the entrance to the venue, there was a big poster featuring the three little ones, all smiling happily. Their

cuteness could easily make one think it was a meet–and–greet for child stars.

Seeing the setup, Scarlett commented, “Grandpa Hugo really put a lot of thought into this, didn’t he?”

Hugo Hodges smiled, “Oh, the old man wasn’t even fully satisfied. He wanted to rent out the entire hotel for a

grand event. Luckily, you suggested a family–style birthday party, which convinced him to tone it down.”

Scarlett watched the two little ones run inside, her lips curling into a smile. “I just hope this is an

unforgettable birthday party for the three of them. Something too commercial wouldn’t mean much to them.

Being together as a family is what they truly want!”

A family…

Those words touched Hugo deeply.

Hugo Hodges glanced sideways, his gaze growing deeper as he looked at her.

Noticing Hugo’s intense gaze, Scarlett Adler turned to him, “What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like

that?”

Hugo suddenly leaned closer, his eyes burning with intensity. “Nothing, just happy to hear you call us a

family.”

Scarlett was taken aback. Did she really say that?

Even if she did, she meant it about the kids, not about her and him.

Just as she was about to explain, Hugo spoke again, “Don’t worry, from now on, we’ll celebrate every birthday

together as a family.”

Scarlett fell silent, looking at him without saying a word.

She had to admit, Hugo was slowly breaking down the walls she had built around her heart…

“Let go of me, Mr. Adler, please have some respect!”

“Respect? Weren’t you the one who came to me?”

“I came to negotiate, not to be harassed!”

“You came to me, clearly prepared for this. Stop pretending. You’ve been with Hugo Hodges so many times,

what’s one more with me?”

“Let go of me!”

At that moment, the sound of a struggle between a man and a woman echoed from behind.

Scarlett Adler glanced up and noticed the people not far away, a hint of amusement flickering in her eyes.

Following her gaze, Hugo Hodges looked over and squinted as he saw the two entangled individuals.

Andy Adler was desperately trying to pull Tiana Young into his arms, looking utterly sleazy.

Tiana was clearly unwilling, struggling against him. But when she glanced up and saw Hugo and Scarlett,

she froze in place.

It was impossible not to feel envious, especially seeing Scarlett looking so well. Tiana was nearly driven

mad with jealousy.

Andy continued to bother her, making Tiana feel sick to her stomach. She thought for a moment and then

pushed Andy away, heading straight for Hugo.

“Hugo, help me!”

As she reached out her hand, Hugo swiftly stepped aside.

Tiana was stunned. Did he really detest her that much?

Andy hadn’t expected to run into Hugo here, a flash of guilt crossing his face. Yet, he still braced himself and

walked over to Hugo.

“Hugo, long time no see!” Andy Adler greeted with a smile, but he froze when he noticed Scarlett Adler

standing next to him, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.

Hugo Hodges sure was lucky, the women around him were each more beautiful than the last.

“Hugo, who might this be?”

Hugo didn’t miss the look in Andy’s eyes and promptly stepped in front of Scarlett, shielding her. His

expression was proud, like a king surveying his domain.

“None of your business!”
