After Tiana left, Hugo didn’t even get a chance to speak before William spoke up in a low

voice, “Kiddo, let’s head out!”

Scarlett nodded.

“Where are you going?” Grandpa asked immediately.

William glanced at Grandpa and then at Hugo lying on the bed, displeased. “Back to our

room. No need to stick around for all this mess. It’s annoying!” He reached out his hand to

the two kids, “Fourth, Second, let’s go!”

Fourth and Second knew what the right decision was at that moment. They walked over and

took William’s hand.

“Great–grandpa, Uncle, we’re leaving now. Bye–bye!” Fourth said, blinking his eyes with a hint

of reluctance.

“Bye–bye!” Grandpa watched them, his heart melting.

“Uncle will come find you!” Hugo said to Fourth and Second.

Hearing this, Fourth nodded firmly, a smile spreading across his face.

Grandpa looked at William like he was the villain. That old man was quite the troublemaker!

If they want to leave, let them leave. Why force families apart?

Hmph!

As the door closed, Grandpa’s face fell.

He turned his head, eyes filled with blame, looking at Hugo lying in bed.

“You rascal…”

“I know what you’re going to say!”

Before Grandpa could speak, Hugo interrupted, “You’re just going to scold me again.

Grandpa, I already have a great–grandchild. What more can you scold me for?”

Grandpa sat down angrily, like a child throwing a tantrum. “So what if you have one? I can’t

see or hold them. It’s driving me crazy! I want to have them around, take them out, show

them off. But can I?”

Thinking of Old Adler, Grandpa felt helpless and frustrated.

Years of friendship, and it all seemed for nothing!

Hugo’s lips curled into a smile. “Grandpa, it’s just a matter of time.”

Grandpa looked at him, “What do you mean?”

Hugo squinted his eyes, smiling as he reminded, “I remember you and Grandpa Adler bought

an estate together, right?”

Grandpa nodded, “Yes, we did. Why? We planned to retire there together, Old Adler and I.”

Hugo’s lips curled into a smile. “You know, at your age, it’s about time to settle down. Once

you all live together, the kids will always be right under your nose. What’s the point in

separating them from you?”

The old man considered this. It made some sense. “But… right now, he’s living with Scarlett

and not at the estate!”

“The place they’re living in now is rented,” Hugo explained.

The old man looked at him.

“Eventually, you can transfer the house to Grandpa Adler. They’ll naturally move to the estate,

and then you can move in too. It’ll all fall into place!”

“But… will he agree to that?”

“Agree or not, once you move in, is he really going to kick you out?” Hugo asked.

The old man pondered, “Isn’t that a bit shameless?”

“Do you want great–grandchildren or pride?” Hugo asked.

Thinking about those three kids, the old man realized pride was hardly important.

“Of course, I want great–grandchildren!”

Hugo listened, his smile widening. “Exactly, it’s just a tactical issue!”

The old man thought for a moment. While the plan seemed straightforward, there was still…

Squinting his eyes at Hugo, the old man asked, “Kid, you’re not just thinking about this, are you? Are you trying to use me?”

“Never!” Hugo replied, “I’m just thinking about your happiness!”

Ha! The old man didn’t believe him one bit!

But he had a pretty good idea of what Hugo was up to.

He eyed Hugo and said, “If you want to win Scarlett back, why all the roundabout tricks? Why

not just go straight for it?”

Hugo lazily raised an eyebrow, refusing to admit anything. “Who said I’m trying to win her

back?”

Besides, with Scarlett’s fiery temper, trying to win her over directly without some strategy

would be a miracle!

“You’re not?”

“I’m not!” Hugo looked away.

“Not when you got yourself hurt so badly for her? Not when you stabbed yourself twice for

her?” The old man said, poking near Hugo’s wounds with a hint of frustration. He was terrified

when he first found out!

Hugo winced in pain, murmuring, “I wasn’t thinking much at the time…”

“Yeah, you weren’t thinking, and your grandpa here almost had to bury a grandson!” The old

man replied.

Hugo looked at Grandpa Hector with a hint of guilt in his eyes. “Grandpa, I’m sorry… But don’t

worry, what you’re afraid of won’t happen. I won’t let you go through those things again.”

Grandpa Hector gave him a bittersweet smile. “You look just like your father did back then.”

Mentioning his father, Hugo remained silent.

Putting aside the unhappy memories, Grandpa Hector gazed at him. “Hugo, in this life, it’s

rare to find people or things more important than your own life. I won’t stop you from doing

what you want, but you need to think carefully this time. Scarlett is someone who loves and

hates fiercely. You’ve let her down once, and she won’t forgive you easily. If you do something

too extreme again, she might really cut ties with you forever.”

Hugo nodded. “I understand.”

“As long as you know what you’re doing,” Grandpa Hector said, leaving it at that.

Hugo pressed his lips together, but his dark eyes gradually became clear.

People and things more important than his own life…

The answer was obvious.

With that, Grandpa Hector stood up. “Alright then, take care and get some rest. I’m heading

out!”

“You’re leaving so soon?”

“Leaving? I’m just going to the next room to see my great–grandkids!”

Hugo sat in silence, contemplating.

“You’re right, sometimes you have to be a bit thick–skinned!” With that, the old man turned to

leave.

But as he reached the door, he paused, recalling something, and looked back at Hugo. “By the

way, that Jiang… Jiang…”

“I’ll handle it,” Hugo assured him.

Seeing that Hugo seemed to have everything under control, the old man relaxed. “Alright, then

take a break. And remember to start on that plan you mentioned earlier. I’m eager to see it in

action!”

Without waiting for Hugo to respond, he opened the door and left.

As the door closed, Hugo’s lips curled into a smile.

Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Henry calling. He answered

immediately.

“Speak.”

Listening to Henry, Hugo’s brow furrowed gradually…

“I understand. Come pick me up at the hospital later; I’ll go there myself.” With that, Hugo

ended the call abruptly.
