Scarlett answered almost instinctively.

When Hugo heard it wasn’t Yale, his brow relaxed a bit.

Since their last argument, they hadn’t seen or contacted each other, and Hugo was nearly losing his mind.

Seeing her today, he suddenly realized he wasn’t as upset anymore.

Looking at her, his gaze softened. “Since you’re here, why not come in? Do you really not want to see me?”

His expression showed a hint of displeasure.

“No.”

“No what?” Hugo raised an eyebrow.

“It was the three of them who were worried about you and insisted on coming to see you. I’m just the

driver who brought them,” Scarlett said.

Hugo’s dark eyes flickered with emotion. “And what about you? Aren’t you even a little worried?”

Scarlett looked up, meeting his sharp, handsome face and his deep, ocean–like eyes. After a moment’s

pause, she replied, “No.”

Then she turned her gaze away.

Hugo wasn’t even angry; her answer was what he expected.

He hadn’t hoped to win Scarlett over so quickly or have her admit she was worried about him.

Still, there was a hint of disappointment in his heart.

“Heartless!” he muttered softly, his low voice carrying a unique charm.

Scarlett felt her ears heat up slightly but chose not to respond.

Hugo looked at her. Even in the dimly lit car, she was breathtakingly beautiful. “Did you buy the cake?”

“Fourth was supposed to.”

“Then how did you know I prefer things with a bit of bitterness?” Hugo suddenly asked, his gaze growing increasingly playful.

Scarlett remained silent, knowing full well that Fourth must have spilled the beans.

She should have known better than to indulge that little rascal’s whims.

It was like shooting herself in the foot!

Seeing Scarlett fall silent, Hugo leaned in slightly, making the cramped car feel even tighter.

Yet he maintained a suitable distance, leaving the atmosphere charged with ambiguity.

“Why so quiet, hmm?” Hugo asked, his voice husky, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

Scarlett felt a bit awkward. “I… heard it from Grandpa Hugo once.”

“Before?” Hugo caught onto something.

Scarlett frowned.

She regretted her words the moment they left her mouth.

She must have been out of her mind to say that.

“Before, you remembered until now?” Hugo asked quietly, his voice sharp.

Any hint that she cared about him made Hugo unusually excited.

Scarlett felt uncomfortable with this feeling. She didn’t want to be led along like this. She looked up at him

and nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”

Hugo smiled, a slight curve forming at the corners of his lips, showing he was in a good mood.

“As a programmer, having a good memory is essential. Can’t help it,” Scarlett added.

No matter what she said now, Hugo believed what he wanted to believe.

He nodded, “Got it.”

Scarlett was speechless.

If he understood, then what was with that smile on his face?

Feeling a bit flustered, Scarlett glanced outside. “Where are the three?”

“They’re inside,” Hugo replied.

“What are you doing out here?” Scarlett asked.

“Just checking on a certain heartless woman,” Hugo replied.

Scarlett frowned. “Can’t you just talk without making it personal?”

“Did I say something wrong?” Hugo shot back. “You’ve been out of the hospital for days. Have you come to

see me? No. And even when you do, you don’t come in. If that’s not heartless, then what is?”

Scarlett turned to him, “Weren’t you the one who said I didn’t need to feel grateful or owe you anything? So

why call me heartless now?” she countered.

Was she really holding a grudge?

Hugo’s expression grew serious. “Yes, I said you didn’t need to repay me or feel grateful. But I never said you shouldn’t visit. Scarlett, you’ve never been this obedient before. Why start now?”

“A wise person knows when to adapt,” she replied.

“I think you’re just trying to drive me crazy!” Hugo exclaimed.

Heaven knows how much he struggled not to contact her these past few days. If she hadn’t shown up, he

wasn’t sure what he might have done next!

Hugo looked at her, calming himself down. “Scarlett, you know very well that’s not what I meant that day,”

he said.

Scarlett watched him as the night outside grew darker. Yet, Hugo’s outline remained clear, especially his

eyes, which seemed to flicker with a deeper intensity in the night.

“I’m just really upset,” he said.

He was too bothered by the fact that she had feelings for Yale.

But then again, what right did he have to stop her? If he wanted something, he had to fight for it. He

couldn’t demand anything from Scarlett.

He didn’t voice these thoughts, just looked at her with deep eyes.

After a long pause, Scarlett nodded. “I know.”

“Are you… still mad?”

She shook her head. “I forgot about it a long time ago.”

Seeing this, Hugo’s lips finally curled into a smile, sweeping away the gloom of the past few days. His

mood lifted instantly.

He glanced at Scarlett, his dark eyes filled with sincerity. “I know I’ve left marks on your heart with what I

did before. I can’t turn back time, but Scarlett, I’ll spend the rest of my life proving myself to you.”

Hearing this, Scarlett felt a gentle tremor in her heart.

Hugo didn’t want to pressure Scarlett. Instead, he looked at her and said, “Thanks for not holding a grudge

and bringing the three little ones to see me.”

Whenever Hugo got sentimental, Scarlett never knew how to respond.

At that moment, Hugo smiled at her. “Would you like to come in for a bit?”

“No, it’s fine…”

“The three little ones are still inside,” Hugo mentioned.

“My grandpa is waiting for dinner at home.”

Suddenly, Hugo leaned in closer, his masculine presence enveloping Scarlett. The next second, he

reached out and unbuckled her seatbelt. “At least stay for dessert before you go?”

His deep voice had a slight teasing lilt, carrying a unique allure.

Scarlett’s heart raced as she met his gaze, feeling a bit flustered.

“And by the way, you look beautiful today,” he added.

His warm breath brushed against her ear, leaving Scarlett a bit at a loss.

She had to admit, he was a master of flirtation. Just a few words and a glance, and he could easily stir

someone’s heart.

After all, Scarlett was just a normal woman!

“Let’s go!” Hugo said as he pushed open the car door and got out.

Scarlett watched him, feeling like if she didn’t follow, she’d come off as overly dramatic.

With that thought, she opened her door and stepped out too.

Hugo glanced at her, the night casting a soft glow on her long dress, making her look almost ethereal.

Watching her, Hugo’s smile widened, spreading across his face.
