Chapter 197 The leather jacket is clearly a bit drafty.

At that moment, Scarlett spoke up, “You guys go ahead. I’m heading home.”

Mr. Hodges, who had been smiling, turned his gaze to her. “Scarlett, why don’t you come back

with us? There are plenty of rooms at the house…”

“No matter how many rooms there are, it’s still the Hodges Family’s place. Mr. Hodges, I’ll go

back to my own home,” Scarlett replied.

Her words effectively put an end to their idea.

They wanted the child to come back with them because the child was part of the Hodges

Family. The grandfather was invited because they were old friends, but it wouldn’t make

sense for her to go back, given the fact that she and Hugo were divorced.

She needed to maintain this boundary.

At this point, Mr. Hodges looked at Hugo, signaling him with his eyes. But Hugo said,

“Grandpa, why don’t you and Grandpa Adler take the child back? I’ll take Scarlett home.”

Mr. Hodges frowned; that wasn’t what he meant!

He glanced at the three little ones beside him, signaling them to try and persuade her. But the

three kids knew Scarlett Adler all too well.

She was determined, and once Scarlett made up her mind, no one could change it.

The three little ones stood there, not daring to speak.

Being allowed to visit the Hodges Family was already a rare favor from their mom, so who

would dare to say more?

Seeing the silence among the three, Grandpa was a bit helpless.

It seemed Scarlett’s authority was unquestionable!

Beside him, William glanced at Hugo, understanding his intentions perfectly.

Although Hugo had behaved well earlier, it didn’t mean William had forgiven him.

William spoke up, “How about I go back with you, Grandpa?”

“Great–grandfather!” Fourth tugged at his hand, pouting and looking at him with pleading

eyes, not wanting him to leave.

William frowned, feeling conflicted.

Hugo’s gaze shifted to Fourth, a slight smile on his lips. Yes, she was indeed his little darling,

understanding him well.

Then he looked at First and Second…

Well, at least they weren’t trying to stop him.

At this moment, Hugo spoke, “Don’t worry, Grandpa Adler. I’ll make sure Scarlett gets home

safely!”

Before William could speak, Grandpa Hodges quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes, let him go

William knew exactly what Grandpa Hodges was thinking.

He rolled his eyes and spoke impatiently, “Oh, come on, you think I don’t know what you’re up

to?”

“I… I don’t have any bad intentions!” Grandpa Hodges muttered, refusing to admit anything.

At this moment, William glanced disapprovingly at Hugo, then focused his gaze on Scarlett.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’m not a child anymore; I know what I’m doing,” Scarlett assured him.

“You hear that? Scarlett said it herself. Just relax!” Grandpa Hodges chimed in supportively.

William thought for a moment before sighing, “Alright, just be careful.” He cast another wary glance at Hugo, clearly on guard.

“Alright, alright, let’s go,” Grandpa Hodges quickly urged, worried that they might not be able to leave if they delayed any longer.

Just as they were about to leave, First approached Scarlett. “Scarlett…”

Watching him, Scarlett smiled softly. “Be good and take care of your great–grandfather and

grandfather, okay?”

First nodded obediently.

“Let’s go.”

“But you…” First glanced at her, then at Hugo, his eyes filled with concern.

Hugo thought, “What kind of look is that?”

They say sons are like leather jackets, but this one seems to have a few holes!

“It’s fine,” Scarlett reassured him with a smile.

Only then did First nod, though still worried, and followed the old man.

In the car.

Hugo drove with a blank expression, though his mind was racing.

It seemed necessary to have a good talk with First and Second.

If he didn’t win them over to his side, his future plans might not go smoothly!

He couldn’t scold them, and he definitely couldn’t hit them.

After thinking it over, he decided he had to win them over.

With that in mind, Hugo glanced sideways at Scarlett.

His eyes were thoughtful as he cleared his throat and casually asked, “By the way, what do

First and Second like?”

Scarlett paused, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She looked up at him, her captivating gaze seeming to see right through him. A slight smile played on her lips. “So, are you trying to

impress them?”

Hugo was driving with one hand, the other casually resting on the window as he leaned his chin on it. He closed his eyes briefly and denied, “Why would I try to impress them? I’m just

asking.”

“Then why don’t you ask Fourth?” Scarlett countered.

“I already know what Fourth likes.”

“Really?”

Hugo nodded seriously.

“So, what does she like the most?”

“Me!”

Scarlett was taken aback, “…???”

Hugo turned his head, giving Scarlett a serious look. “She likes me the most.”

Scarlett was speechless, “…Narcissism is a disease!”

“Don’t you think so?” Hugo shot back.

Scarlett smiled at him, “Even if it is, it’s just because she happens to like handsome guys, and

you just happen to be her dad, with money, power, and looks. You fit her criteria, that’s all.”

Scarlett hit the nail on the head.

Hugo raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “So what? Who doesn’t like excellence? It just means my

daughter has high standards!”

Of course, he would defend his own child. Even if there were ulterior motives, he would see

them as good.

What could Scarlett say?

She chose silence.

The car cruised smoothly down the road.

Hugo drove casually, glancing at Scarlett. A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he

couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you agree to marry me back then, when our grandfathers

suggested it?”

It wasn’t for money, that was certain.

During their first year of marriage, Scarlett never took a dime from the Hodges family. Even

the money given to her by the old man at their wedding remained untouched. She didn’t care

for the expensive jewelry and bags gifted to her either.

Power? That didn’t seem to be the reason.

Scarlett never used her status to gain any advantage. Their marriage was practically a secret.

For looks?

Hugo’s dark eyes held a hint of mystery, and his lips curled into a subtle smile.

Scarlett was caught off guard when the question suddenly turned to her. Her long lashes

The more Scarlett stayed silent, the more curious Hugo became. “Hmm? Wh

reason?”

Scarlett lifted her gaze, fixing her eyes on him. “You really want to know?”
