Seeing the pleased expression on Hugo’s face, Scarlett asked, “You seem quite proud of

yourself?”

Hugo raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit more cheerful inside, but he spoke with great tact, “Not

really… I just didn’t expect to have such an impact on you.” As he was about to explain,

“Actually, back then I…”

Scarlett interrupted, “I don’t like the number three because I don’t want to be constantly

reminded of a terrible past.” Her gaze fixed on him, “Besides, isn’t being a third wheel

something to be ashamed of?”

As her words fell, Hugo’s eyes darkened.

Scarlett continued, “So, I named the dog I have abroad ‘Third Wheel!“”

Hugo was speechless.

He could almost imagine Scarlett naming the dog with a heart full of resentment toward him.

Even though her words were full of sarcasm, Hugo didn’t feel angry at all.

She said she didn’t want to be reminded of that terrible past, which meant she had never truly

forgotten it.

Did this mean he still had some influence over her?

Thinking about it, her mood didn’t seem so bad after all.

Hugo watched her, a thin smile playing at the corners of his lips. “So, when you’re taking care

of your dog, you don’t think about those bad times?”

“When you face it enough, you naturally let it go!”

“Really?” Hugo questioned.

Scarlett looked at Hugo, understanding what he was probing for, and then she smiled slightly.

“Of course, but I forgot, Mr. Hodges seems to enjoy this endlessly, so he might not agree.”

Hugo’s expression darkened a bit. “Scarlett, can’t you go without a personal jab?”

“I’m just stating a fact,” Scarlett corrected with a smile.

As she smiled, Hugo found himself momentarily distracted.

Though she was teasing him, her smile was so genuine. Her fair face was free of makeup,

her skin as smooth and soft as a baby’s, and her long, dark hair cascaded freely on both

sides.

Beautiful and captivating.

Sometimes, looking at her face, he could forget everything else.

At that moment, Hugo suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.

Scarlett was caught off guard and fell right into his arms. She looked at him, her brows

furrowing.

“Hugo, what are you doing?” Her clear eyes seemed to hold a hint of displeasure.

Hugo looked at her, and after a long pause, he spoke softly, “Scarlett, I admit I’ve been a jerk.

before, but the truth is, you never really understood me!”

Scarlett squinted her eyes, seemingly pondering his words.

Her expressive eyes, full of emotion, made hearts race even more.

Hugo’s gaze traveled from her hair, to her eyebrows, to her delicate nose, finally settling on

her pink lips.

His throat moved, and his eyes grew even deeper.

Just then, the door burst open.

“Scarlett!” Fourth’s voice came from outside.

Hearing the voice, Scarlett snapped back to reality, quickly pulling away from Hugo.

However, Fourth was already at the door, having witnessed Scarlett’s previous actions…

“Uh, are Mom and Dad kissing?” Fourth thought as she walked in. “Have things progressed

this quickly? Did I come in at the wrong time?”

Scarlett cleared her throat, trying to break the awkwardness. Hugo, on the other hand, remained expressionless. Seeing Fourth, he smiled and said, “Fourth, you’re back?”

“Yeah!” Fourth nodded stiffly, trying to act as calm as possible. She was sure she had walked in at the wrong moment. But now, backing out didn’t seem like the right move either.

Just then, William and Grandpa Hodges came in, bickering as usual. They hadn’t stopped

“Hmph, say what you want. Whether his last name is Ye or Hodges, he’s still my

“Fine, whatever you say. His last name’s Ye, but you can call him whatever you want,” William

The two old men were still arguing when they walked in and saw Scarlett and Hugo, which

finally made them stop.

“Scarlett, the kid’s back,” Grandpa Hodges said with a cheerful grin.

“Thank you, Grandpa Hodges!” Scarlett smiled.

“It was me who brought her back. Why thank him? Besides, he’s only done it a few times!”

William grumbled from the side.

“You, you, you-”

“Grandpa, we’re in a hospital,” Hugo reminded him.

Old Mr. Hodges heard this and understood it was a cue to quiet down.

But he felt so frustrated inside!

He looked at Hugo, his eyes full of blame.

Seeing this, Scarlett spoke up, “Grandpa Hodges, there will be plenty of chances in the

future.”

Scarlett’s words seemed to soothe him, and his expression softened. “Scarlett always cares

about this old man!”

After saying this, he glanced at William and Hugo.

Friends, grandson–hmph, all useless!

Just then, Second noticed Scarlett and approached her, “Scarlett, you’re hurt again? What happened?” Despite being small, his eyes were filled with concern.

Fourth overheard and finally noticed Scarlett’s new injuries, his gaze instantly turning

sympathetic. “Scarlett, you’re hurt again…”

Looking at them, Scarlett smiled, “It’s nothing, just a minor injury.”

“You always say that…” Fourth muttered quietly.

Hugo’s gaze turned serious as he looked at Scarlett.

How many times had she been hurt?

What had she endured over the years?

A sudden pang of pain struck his heart.

The child’s innocent words were heard by both William and the old man.

William didn’t need to be told; he knew his granddaughter always kept her struggles to

herself, sharing only the good news. Even if Scarlett didn’t say it, he understood how tough

things were for her.

But hearing it from a child made it even more poignant.

Even a child could see it…

His eyes grew moist as he lowered his gaze.

The old man listened, his brows furrowing as he felt a deep sympathy.

Scarlett, on the other hand, acted as if it was nothing, looking at them, “Scarlett has

something to tell you!”

Fourth and Second watched her obediently.

Scarlett hesitated, thinking it over, and just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden

knock at the door.

Everyone turned their attention to the entrance.

William got up and walked over to open the door.

“Who are you looking for?”

“Is Hugo Hodges here?” Audrey asked.

William nodded and stepped aside, allowing them to enter.

At that moment, Audrey and Tiana walked in, carrying some items in their hands.

As soon as Tiana stepped inside and saw the room full of people, especially the two kids on

the floor, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

Her fists clenched tightly at her sides.
