Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 No, I can’t. My stomach hurts. You guys go ahead and chat.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned back reluctantly.

Behind them stood Hugo. They nudged each other, silently urging the other to speak up.

Hugo looked up at them and softly asked, “Hmm?”

“Eat, of course, we’ll eat!” First said with a smile.

The two began walking forward.

As they approached, First suddenly clutched his stomach. “Oh no, my stomach hurts. You guys start without me, I’ll be right back.”

Without waiting for a response, First dashed off.

This left Second standing there, unsure whether to sit or not.

First! Second took a deep breath and started, “I also…”

“Sit down!”

So, Second plopped down into a seat.

Just then, a servant brought breakfast over and placed it in front of Second.

Hugo continued to eat his breakfast leisurely, his long fingers gracefully handling the knife and fork. His sleeves were rolled up to reveal his wrists, which looked like they belonged to a work of art, extending elegantly from the slightly creased cuffs.

At that moment, he resembled a nobleman straight out of a movie.

Second looked at Hugo, clearly wanting to say something but hesitating.

At that moment, Hugo glanced at him, “Not eating?”

Second finally picked up his fork and knife and began to eat.

Neither of them spoke, silently focusing on their meals. But Second knew Hugo was definitely glaring at him for a reason.

“How did you sleep last night?” Hugo suddenly asked.

“Not well.”

Hugo looked up at him, “Oh?”

“It’s been a while since I shared a room with my brother. He kept hogging the blanket!” Second replied.

Hugo listened, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“Why did you arrange for me to share a room with my brother yesterday?” Second suddenly asked.

Talking about this, Hugo looked at Second, “Is there a problem?”

“I think you have something you want to say,” Second said, looking at Hugo.

get it over with.

Sure enough, after Second spoke, Hugo’s gaze shifted to him.

He seemed to be pondering, and Second knew that taking the initiative was the right move.

A moment later, Hugo looked at him. “Have you realized the seriousness of what happened yesterday?”

Second seemed to have anticipated this question from Hugo. After thinking for a moment, he replied, “Yeah, I have.”

Seeing him admit it so directly, Hugo frowned. “And what exactly have you realized?”

“The world is dangerous, and without enough power, you can’t have a say. I need to become stronger.”

Hugo was speechless for a moment.

Looking at Second, who wore a serious expression, Hugo asked, “What’s wrong?”

Hugo took a deep breath. “Second, I know you and First have been spending time with Tara and might have learned a lot

about the outside world. Joining the Dark Web is your decision, and I won’t stop you. But no matter where you join, you

and First are my kids. Your safety is my top priority, and I can’t ignore that.”

Listening to Hugo’s words, Second nodded. “I understand.”

“You’re right; lacking ability is indeed a problem. And what happened yesterday proves that even if you’re smart, you’re still at a disadvantage against absolute power. So, I hope that no matter what, you ensure your safety first before doing anything else.”

Second looked at Hugo, speechless. He understood these principles, but it was the first time someone had told him so

directly and clearly.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“You might not consider my feelings, but what about Scarlett’s? If something happens to you, what will she do? How will

she cope?” Hugo asked.

Immediately, an image of Scarlett popped into Second’s mind.

He knew very well that although Scarlett appeared quiet and indifferent, she was deeply emotional. If something really happened to them… he couldn’t quite imagine it.

At that moment, Second found himself drawn into the hypothetical scenario Hugo had painted.

After a pause, Second spoke up, “Dad, I understand what you mean. From now on, we’ll always prioritize our safety.”

Hearing this, Hugo nodded in satisfaction.

“Then after dinner, tonight, I’ll take you to the airport!” Hugo said.

Second was taken aback, his eyebrows furrowing suddenly. “Uh, what?”

Hugo was eating quietly, not saying a word.

Second looked at him, “Dad, are you sending us back?”

“Yes,” Hugo nodded.

Second became anxious, “Dad, after all that talk, you’re just telling me you’re sending us back?”

Hugo, seemingly anticipating his response, replied calmly, “If Scarlett were here, she’d make the same decision.”

“But Scarlett already knows we’re here!” Second protested.

Hugo paused, surprised, “What did you say?”

“We talked to Scarlett on the phone. She knows we’re here. Even though she asked us to go back, she didn’t force us. Dad, Scarlett didn’t do that, so you can’t either!” Second said firmly, looking at Hugo.

Hugo looked at him, uncertainty in his eyes, “You mean, you talked on the phone?”

“Yes, twice!”

Hugo’s eyes narrowed, “Her phone is still reachable?”

“Scarlett must have set it up so she can see the messages, but whether she replies is another matter. We’ve been trying to

reach Scarlett.”

For a long time, she only called us when she knew we were coming, and then she disappeared again,” Second said.

Hugo suddenly let out a cold laugh. “So, she sees the messages but chooses when to reply or not…”

Seeing Hugo’s face turn both angry and gloomy, Second thought he might have stirred up trouble…

But right now, he couldn’t worry about that. “Anyway, Dad, I’m not going back, and neither is my brother. Even if you send us to the airport, we’ll find a way to escape. Even if you drag us back to Harbor City, we’ll just come back here!” Second declared firmly.

Hugo looked at him.

Second met his gaze, looking both worried and anxious. “Dad, Scarlett is our mom, and we’re really worried about her. If we can’t find her, we can’t just stay at home peacefully. So, instead of making us wait, let us stay here. Maybe we can help

somehow!” Second insisted.

“What can you help with?”

Just as Second was about to blurt out his response, First suddenly appeared from behind, catching them off guard. “There’s a lot we can help with. For example, a few days ago, we found out something about Scarlett…”

“Our father, or rather, a clue about our grandfather…”
