At that moment, Scarlett stood at the bar, sipping her water.
Hugo felt a surge of joy in his heart and, without hesitation, walked over to her.
Just as she finished her drink, he suddenly leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Scarlett froze, staring at him in confusion.

“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Nothing, just a bit thirsty.”
Scarlett handed him her half–full glass of water, raising an eyebrow at him.
Hugo took the glass, noticing the spot where her lips had touched. He smiled slightly and drank from that exact spot.
Watching him, Scarlett’s lips curled into a relaxed smile. “Mr. Hodges, aren’t you a bit old to be trying these flirty tricks?”
“Old?” Hugo squinted. “Do you really think I’m old?”
“Compared to those young guys, aren’t you?” Scarlett replied with a teasing grin.
“Young guys? Who?” Hugo asked, suddenly on high alert.
Seeing Hugo’s tense expression, Scarlett leaned in closer. “What’s wrong, getting nervous?”
Noticing her teasing intent, Hugo pulled her into his arms, looking down at her. “Yeah, I’m nervous. So, who’s the new
heartthrob?”
“Take a guess.”
“Someone from your company?” Hugo countered.
“If it were someone from the company, wouldn’t you have heard about it already?” Scarlett replied.

“So, who is it?” Hugo asked, squinting his eyes. “Are you pulling my leg?”

“Not exactly,” she said, turning her head toward the TV. “The ones Fourth chases in those shows, aren’t they all
heartthrobs?” Scarlett teased.
Hugo followed her gaze to the TV, then fixed his eyes back on her face, a subtle smile playing at his lips. “Fourth’s taste in
men might need a little adjustment.”
“What, realizing the gap between yourself and the younger crowd?” Scarlett asked.
“It’s about helping her understand what kind of man truly deserves admiration,” Hugo said, emphasizing each word.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, “Well, I’ll leave this tough task to you!” She tried to wriggle out of Hugo’s embrace.
However, Hugo showed no intention of letting go.
“Mr. Hodges, isn’t there a limit to taking advantage?” Scarlett asked.
“Don’t you want to know what Fourth just told me in the back?” Hugo looked at her.
“What did she say?”
“She gave me quite the lesson.”
Scarlett squinted, curiosity piqued as she looked at him.
“She asked why I haven’t won you over yet,” Hugo said.
Scarlett paused, closing her eyes, clearly avoiding the question herself.
Hugo watched her expression closely and continued, “She also said I wasn’t assertive enough and taught me a few
tricks.”
Scarlett didn’t need Hugo to elaborate further. She could guess that Fourth had probably shared some tactics she picked
up from watching TV.
“So, what now?” Scarlett asked.

“I want to try something,” Hugo replied.
“How are you going to-”
Before she could finish, Hugo lifted her and set her on the bar counter.
Scarlett was still in shock when, the next moment, Hugo leaned in and kissed her.
Scarlett was speechless.
She had to admit, she was definitely feeling the heat.

Her heart raced wildly, and any thoughts of younger guys vanished in Hugo’s presence.
The next moment, her hands found their way to his back, pulling him closer as she returned his kiss.
Hugo had intended just to tease her a bit, but feeling Scarlett’s response, he was suddenly swept up in the moment.
He held her, savoring the deepening kiss.
Scarlett responded with equal passion.
Just as they were caught up in the moment, the door clicked open.
Fourth and Second stepped out of the room.
First’s room was directly facing the bar, so as soon as the door opened, they saw the whole scene.
Fourth’s eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing this, Second quickly reached out to cover her eyes. “Don’t look.”
But Fourth was determined, pushing his hand away to keep watching.
Oh, this scene was just too perfect, like something straight out of a TV drama.
Especially since her parents were way more attractive than any TV show leads.

With that thought, a mysterious smile crept onto Fourth’s face.
At that moment, Hugo and Scarlett, hearing the commotion, stopped what they were doing and looked over at them.
“Dad, you’re a fast learner!” Fourth remarked.
Hugo, leaning casually against the bar, his handsome features exuding a lazy charm, glanced at Fourth. “Did you really
have to show up right now?”

“Uh, it was an accident, totally an accident!”
“You’re ruining your dad’s moment here. How am I supposed to win over Scarlett with you interrupting?”

Fourth quickly replied, “Well, you guys carry on. I’ll just chat with my brother for a bit!” With that, she pulled her head back
and shut the door.
“Smart kid!” Hugo chuckled.
Turning back, Scarlett had already stepped down from the bar.
“Where are you going?”
“To change clothes!” Scarlett said, heading toward her room.
Hugo quickly followed her, and as she was about to close the door, he blocked the entrance.
“Is there something else?”
“Aren’t you going to give me an explanation or a reason?”
“What explanation or reason?”

Hugo looked at her intently. “About the question Fourth asked me today. I want to know how to respond in the future.”
Scarlett considered for a moment before speaking, “What if I say there’s no reason or explanation?”
Hugo narrowed his eyes. “Scarlett, I can feel that you still have feelings for me. So why not give me another chance?”
“Marriage is like being bitten by a snake; once bitten, twice shy. Just consider me scared!” Scarlett replied.
“I’m not forcing you to remarry. I just want a title, a way to take care of you openly!”
“I don’t need that!”
“But I do!”
Scarlett sighed, “Hugo, isn’t this good enough? We’re together when we’re happy, apart when we’re not, and you don’t
have to be responsible for anything…”
Scarlett looked at him.

Hugo listened, his brow furrowing. “Scarlett, what do you take me for?”

“I’m not taking you for anything,” she replied, her words sounding cold and indifferent. “I’m just talking about this. If you’re
not willing, you can stop anytime. I have no objections.”
Hugo’s displeasure grew. “So, Scarlett, this whole time, you’ve been dealing with me with this mindset?”
Scarlett didn’t deny it and nodded.
Hugo was getting more frustrated. “Scarlett, are you just trying to get something for nothing?”
