Scarlett Adler seemed well–prepared as she spoke calmly, “I’m heading to B City. The company has a collaboration project

there that needs some follow–up.”

“How long will you be gone?”

“For now, it’s planned for a few days, but it really depends on how the discussions go. I might need to stay a bit longer,”

Scarlett explained.

William Adler listened, his brow furrowing. “Why does your line of work require travel?”

“Grandpa, any job can involve travel,” Scarlett replied.

William looked concerned, his expression showing a hint of worry.

At that moment, Old Mr. He spoke up, “Old Adler, Scarlett is grown up now. Why are you still so worried? She’s lived abroad

for several years, and it’s just a business trip. Why are you so tense?”

William immediately responded, “I can worry if I want to! It’s none of your business!”

Old Mr. He sighed, “I’m advising you, not controlling you!”

William ignored him and turned to Scarlett, speaking with a meaningful tone, “No matter what, stay safe and call home if

you need anything.”

Scarlett listened with a slight smile, “Got it, Grandpal”

“Alright, alright, get back to your digging,” the old man urged.

William shot him a glance but didn’t argue further, lowering his head to continue his work.

Just then, Hugo finished his call and returned, noticing Scarlett eating. A smile played on his lips. “Feeling better now?”

Scarlett nodded, “Yeah, much better.”

Hugo leaned in close, whispering in her ear, “I shouldn’t have let you drink so much last night…”

Scarlett was momentarily speechless.

Noticing her ears turning slightly red, Hugo’s smile widened, and he took a seat directly across from her.

His gaze was filled with warmth as he looked at her.

Scarlett continued eating in silence, occasionally glancing up at Hugo. His gaze was becoming increasingly bold.

With that thought, Scarlett spoke up, “Aren’t you going back to the office today?”

“Yes, I am,” Hugo replied.

“When?” Scarlett asked.

Hugo looked at her, “What, you want to come along?”

“I need to head back too, just hoping to catch a ride with you!”

Seeing her being so formal, Hugo squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and then spoke, “Leaving now, are you ready?”

Scarlett paused, “Sure, but I need to change my clothes first!”

Hugo checked the time, “Alright, we’ll leave in half an hour!”

Scarlett nodded.

At that moment, William and Grandpa heard them and frowned.

“Scarlett, are you leaving already?”

“Yeah, I need to go back to the office. Grandpa, Grandpa Hodges, I’ll visit you in a couple of days!” Scarlett said.

Grandpa Hodges nodded, “Alright.”

Then William spoke up, “Girl… no matter what, be careful out there and remember to call your grandpa!”

Despite his worries, he knew young people needed their own space.

“Alright, off you go!” William said heavily.

Scarlett looked at William, her gaze filled with mixed emotions. But soon, she lowered her eyes and nodded firmly before

turning to her room to change.

At that moment, Hugo glanced at Grandpa Adler. “Grandpa, I’ll be heading out too.”

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Adler showed no reluctance, waving his hand dismissively. “Go on, go on, hurry up and leave!”

Hugo was speechless.

Without another word, Hugo left.

In the car.

Hugo drove while Scarlett sat in the passenger seat.

“Where are the little ones? Why didn’t they come to see you off?” Hugo asked.

“Fourth said Tara was taking them out to play, so I guess they’re out,” Scarlett replied softly, her gaze drifting out the

window, lost in thought.

Hugo listened and nodded.

Scarlett pressed her lips together, her mind a tangle of emotions.

Suddenly, the car came to an abrupt stop, and Scarlett was taken aback. As she turned to look at him, Hugo leaned in

closer.

Scarlett paused, looking at him. “What… are you doing?”

“Scarlett, are you being polite on purpose?” Hugo asked. She had mentioned hitching a ride with him, knowing full well

that he’d go to any lengths for her, yet here she was, playing this game.

“What?”

“In front of Grandpa Adler!” Hugo clarified.

Scarlett hesitated for a moment before understanding his point. “I was just… being polite!”

Polite…

Hugo’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at her. “Do I need to show you what our relationship really is?”

Scarlett quickly replied, “No need!”

“Are you sure?”

Scarlett, knowing when to back down, nodded. “I’m sure!”

Despite her words, Hugo reached out, pulling her in by the back of her head and kissed her hard.

As he released her, Hugo said, “That’s your punishment. Next time, it won’t be so simple.”

Scarlett remained silent, unable to find words.

Hugo was quite pleased with her reaction and continued driving away.

During the ride, neither of them spoke much. Hugo’s phone was ringing non–stop, and Scarlett didn’t know what to say, so

she leaned back and closed her eyes to relax.

After more than half an hour, the car stopped downstairs.

Scarlett looked at him, “I guess you’ll be pretty busy this afternoon, so I won’t invite you up.

Hugo narrowed his eyes, observing her, “Who said I’m busy?”

“With all those calls, aren’t you?” Scarlett countered.

Hugo’s gaze was intense as he looked at her, “If you invite me up, no matter how busy I am, it can wait.”

Scarlett eyed him, “Hugo, you’re not the kind of guy who’s easily swayed by a pretty face, are you?”

“I am!”

Scarlett was speechless.

“Am I not making it clear enough?” Hugo asked.

Scarlett thought for a moment before speaking, “Beware, Hugo, one day you might find yourself caught up by a woman!”

“Forgot to mention, I’m only captivated by you. If I’m going to fall for someone, I’m okay with it being you!” Hugo said, not

hiding his thoughts and desires.

Scarlett was speechless. “…”

“So, do you want me to fall for you?” Hugo asked, looking at her.

“How do you make such shameless words sound so dignified?” Scarlett asked, staring at him.

“It’s simple. When you’ve been thirsty for so long, you have to be a little shameless to finally quench that thirst!”

Scarlett was speechless again. “…”

At that moment, Hugo’s gaze softened as he leaned closer to her, his voice husky. “Scarlett, aren’t you thirsty too?”
