Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Did Daddy misunderstand?

“Because he doesn’t have what it takes to compete with you!” First cut in before Second could finish his sentence.

Second watched, unable to help but think, how afraid is he of me spilling the beans?

Well, it’s best to let him handle his own issues.

Second lowered his gaze, planning to eat while listehing to their conversation.

“What do you mean by ‘doesn’t have what it takes‘?” Hugo asked First.

“Well…” First was searching for the right words.

“Is he not a man?” Hugo asked.

Second couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

First shot a glare at Second, who pretended not to notice.

“So, is there a problem?” Hugo looked at them.

First quickly snapped back to attention, shaking his head at Hugo. “No…” He thought for a moment and explained, “It’s not about gender!”

“Aside from gender, there’s nothing that can’t be competed for!” Hugo said.

Second chimed in, “Dad, actually, nowadays, even gender isn’t an issue…”

Hugo looked at him, thought seriously for a moment, then nodded earnestly, “True, but I can still sense that Scarlett’s preferences are pretty straightforward!”

First and Second exchanged glances, speechless.

“So, what exactly are the conditions you mentioned that aren’t met?” Hugo asked, looking at them.

First was at a loss for words.

Second raised an eyebrow, watching how First would explain himself.

“Hmm?”

“Well, things like age, height, and some uncontrollable factors… Anyway, Dad, rest assured, this anonymous person poses no threat to you,” First said.

“Gender isn’t an issue, so how could age and height be?” Hugo questioned.

First looked at him, unsure of how to respond.

It seemed like revealing their secrets was the only way to resolve this.

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Hugo seemed to understand something. “Okay, I get it. You’re not comfortable sharing.”

“Dad, it’s not really about being uncomfortable…”

“Is Scarlett with that anonymous person now?” Hugo suddenly asked, looking serious.

As they pondered what else they might ask, Hugo Hodges suddenly set down his utensils and looked at them. “I’m done eating. You guys take your time. After you’re finished, feel free to hang around, but don’t wander off, okay?” Hugo said.

Watching Hugo get up and leave, First quickly asked, “Dad, where are you going?”

“To find Scarlett!” Hugo replied without turning back.

As his figure disappeared from the dining room, First murmured, “Dad, is this a misunderstanding?”

Turning to Second, who was eating leisurely, First frowned, “How can you still eat?”

“This has nothing to do with me. Why wouldn’t I eat?” Second replied, continuing to enjoy his meal.

First’s frown deepened, “How is it not related to you?”

“You’re the anonymous one, not me. If you’re worried Dad misunderstood, go explain to him!”

First sighed, “I was about to say something, but Dad interrupted me!”

“If you really wanted to say it, would anything stop you?” Second asked.

First was stumped, his brows furrowing, “I just couldn’t get the words out…”

“Then you might as well wait for Dad and Mom to misunderstand,” Second said.

Second was pretty laid–back about the whole situation.

First watched him, frowning slightly.

Talking about this would sound like bragging, no matter how you put it.

After thinking it over, First decided to wait for the right moment to bring it up.

After eating, First and Second wandered around the castle. They were supposedly just exploring, but in reality, they were looking for Hugo Hodges to gather some information.

However, all they saw were servants, and they didn’t discover anything useful.

First kept glancing at his phone, checking the chat with Scarlett Adler, but no new messages came through.

He was starting to feel a bit restless.

They had achieved their goal of staying here, but as for Hugo Hodges…

“Got any ideas?” First asked Second, who was standing nearby.

“Sure do!” Second replied.

First turned to look at him.

Second nodded toward a figure in the distance, signaling First to take a look.

When First saw Ray, he frowned.

“Why not just ask him? That should do the trick,” Second suggested.

“Can we really get anything out of him?”

“Why not? Don’t forget, we’re just kids!” With that, Second took the lead and walked over.

First watched Second’s back, frowning slightly.

Everyone said Second was mature and composed.,

Little did they know, he was the most reserved one!

Tara Green must be blind!

With that thought, First followed him.

Not far away, Ray got out of the car, and Second approached him. “Hello, Uncle.”

Ray turned around, and upon seeing the two kids, a strange look flickered in his eyes.

He couldn’t deny it–he was a bit envious. How wonderful it would be to have kids this age!

Looking at them, Ray spoke, “You’re Second, right?”

Second nodded. “Uncle, you have a good memory.”

Ray chuckled, ruffling his hair, and couldn’t help but remark, “Hugo Hodges is a lucky guy, always a step ahead in everything…”

“What did you say, Uncle?” Second asked.

Ray quickly put on a smile. “Oh, nothing. What are you two doing here?”

“We’re looking for Dad, but his phone’s off. We don’t know where he went!” Second replied.

“Looking for him, huh? Come on, I’ll take you to him!” Ray said.

First and Second exchanged a glance and immediately followed him.
