Chapter 330 Do something that makes adults happy.
Hugo was fuming as he looked at her and asked, “Scarlett, are you trying to get away with this for free?”
Scarlett was taken aback by his words. But after thinking it over, she realized that his interpretation wasn’t entirely off.
Once she gathered her thoughts, she looked at him and asked, “So, do you feel shortchanged?”
Hugo stared at her, lips pressed together, saying nothing.
Scarlett took a deep breath and said, “Well, since nothing’s happened yet, you can always choose to walk away!”
Hugo was left speechless. What kind of heartless comment was that?
Before he could process it, Scarlett was already closing the door. “I’m changing!”
As the door was about to shut, Hugo’s mind raced with a flurry of images. Just before the door closed completely, he
quickly reached out and stopped it with a thud.
Scarlett paused, looking up at him. “Anything else?”
Hugo met her gaze. Her words had indeed angered him, but he remembered how their last conversation had ended badly.
Arguing was easy, but making up was much harder.
He really didn’t want to keep sulking with Scarlett. That feeling was just unpleasant.
With this in mind, Hugo tried to suppress his discomfort and looked at her. “What you said… it’s not impossible to
consider.”
Scarlett blinked, confused. “What do you mean?” she asked, wondering what Hugo was up to now.
Hugo pushed the door open, his dark eyes fixed on her. “Scarlett, if that’s the case, shouldn’t you be more mature and stop
being so wishy–washy?”
“What?”
Hugo strode in, closing the door behind him, his gaze never leaving her.

Hugo stepped closer, closing the distance between them. “I’m accepting your suggestion, so shouldn’t we do something
about it?” he asked.
Scarlett was speechless.
“Let’s do something that adults enjoy. Otherwise, it would be a waste of your suggestion,” Hugo said.
Those words were just something Scarlett had said to brush him off, not wanting him to keep harping on the issue. She
hadn’t expected Hugo to take her seriously.
He was bound to be upset, but she never expected this kind of change.
Looking at him, she suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Hugo’s gaze was deep and intense. “Don’t worry, I’m in good shape. I think I can meet your expectations.”
Scarlett was speechless.
“Do you want to take the lead, or should I?” His voice was low, with a hint of displeasure.
Seeing Scarlett stay silent, Hugo decided, “Alright, I’ll take the lead then!” With that, he strode forward, and Scarlett instinctively stepped back, only for Hugo to press her onto the bed.
Their eyes locked, and the distance between them was almost nonexistent.
They could feel each other’s breath.
Scarlett looked at him, her long lashes fluttering slightly as she felt his heavy breathing.
Hugo leaned over, his dark eyes tracing her features–from her forehead, to her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and finally her lips.
Each part was so exquisite, stirring something within him.
His throat moved as he gazed at her, slowly lowering himself.
Just as his lips were about to touch Scarlett’s, she suddenly spoke, “Hugo, the kids are home.”

Hugo paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to her.
Scarlett’s eyes were unusually determined.

Hugo lowered his eyes, coming back to his senses. He had only intended to “teach” her a lesson, but he hadn’t expected…
Still, he couldn’t resist teasing her. “So, you’re saying it’s okay when the kids aren’t home?”
“Hugo, do we really need to discuss this in such detail?” Scarlett countered. “It’s not like I haven’t given you a chance!”
Hugo narrowed his eyes suddenly, looking at her intently. “Are you talking about that night?”
Scarlett remained silent.
So that night, it wasn’t just her being tipsy and confused; she was giving him another chance…
He had regretted it afterward, but now Hugo understood. “So from that moment, you intended for us to have a mutual
relationship, didn’t you?”
Seeing Hugo’s angry expression, Scarlett realized that telling one lie leads to another and another.
The fibs had somehow strung together, leading them to this point.
Scarlett didn’t know what to say, so she decided to just let him think what he wanted.
“I thought you were willing,” Scarlett said.
Hugo found that Scarlett had an uncanny ability to ignite his anger at any moment.
“Scarlett,” he growled, his handsome face clearly showing his unprecedented anger. Anyone could feel the fury he was
struggling to contain.
He wanted to say more, but looking at Scarlett’s innocent face, as if she hadn’t done anything wrong, he held back.
Hugo knew that arguing further wouldn’t change Scarlett’s mind, so the best approach was to fight fire with fire!
After a moment’s thought, he said, “Fine, I can agree, but I have one condition.”

“What is it?”
“In this game of mutual consent, it doesn’t end until I say so!” he declared.
Scarlett narrowed her eyes, displeased. “Is that a condition? That’s more like a tyrant’s demand.”
“So, do you agree?” Hugo asked directly.
“No way!” Scarlett refused and started to get up.
But Hugo was still on top of her, pinning her down, making it impossible for her to move.
“Hugo…” she began.

“Scarlett, you’re not losing out here. I can satisfy you not just physically, but emotionally too,” he said with a confident
grin.
Scarlett was speechless.
“Or, you can name your terms,” Hugo suggested.
Her eyes flickered, knowing that if she didn’t set some boundaries, this would be hard to end.
After a moment’s thought, she spoke, “Never force me into anything.”
“That’s it?” Hugo asked, raising an eyebrow.
Scarlett nodded.
“I thought you’d say something like, ‘Don’t ask to get back together again.“”
She smiled slyly, “You might enjoy this arrangement so much that you won’t want to bring that up again.”
Hugo squinted at her, finding today’s Scarlett and her words strangely unfamiliar.
Then he leaned in, whispering fiercely in her ear, “Scarlett, you’re lucky you’re a woman. If you were a man, you’d be a total
player!”

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “I haven’t forced anyone, nor have I deceived or hurt anyone. How does that make me
a jerk?” she retorted.
Her gaze was steady, making it seem like Hugo was the one with the problem.
Hugo was so frustrated his gums itched. He nodded repeatedly, “Fine, Scarlett, let’s settle it like this. Don’t re
