Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Mother and Son Confession Session

Looking at First, Scarlett hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Yes.”

She admitted it.

Scarlett never intended to hide things from them. In her understanding of education, she never used the excuse that they

were too young or didn’t understand to justify keeping secrets.

Whenever they asked, Scarlett would tell them. It was just that they had never asked before.

Now, after hearing the answer, First wasn’t surprised at all. He simply nodded calmly, “Okay, I understand.”

“Don’t you have anything to say?” Scarlett asked.

“Nope.” First shook his head. He just wanted an answer, that’s all.

Scarlett looked at him, “You know, if you had asked earlier, I wouldn’t have kept it from you.”

“Scarlett,” First leaned in, “This answer doesn’t change anything or any outcome. You’re still my most loved, most

cherished mom, and I’ll never, ever leave you!”

First rarely expressed love verbally; he usually showed it through actions.

Hearing the word from him for the first time, Scarlett felt a hint of sweetness.

“Alright!” She nodded coolly, “Remember what you said.”

“Of course,” First nodded.

“I might end up in a lawsuit with him…”

“Even if he wins, I’m not leaving. If they take me away, I’ll just come back. He might stop me for a day, but he can’t stop me

forever.”

Scarlett couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to ruffle his hair. “You’re truly my good son.”

“So, Mom, don’t worry. You’ll win this case, not lose.”

“I think so too,” Scarlett agreed.

First smiled, a rare innocent smile in front of Scarlett, like a child.

Scarlett watched him, swallowing all the questions she had wanted to ask.

She was already someone bound by constraints, and she didn’t want her child to be the same. So, she chose not to

interfere with their growth.

“Go get me a glass of water.”

“At your service.”

First happily went ahead, attending to Scarlett.

Meanwhile, Hugo Hodges left the hospital and checked on the damaged car. He made a point to visit the police station, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

Scarlett’s safety was at stake, and he needed to find the person who wanted to harm her as soon as possible.

Just after leaving the police station, Hugo got a call from Tiana. Remembering yesterday’s events, he didn’t answer and

hung up immediately.

He intended to head straight back to the office, but his clothes were dirty and stained with blood. So, Hugo decided to

return to the Hodges family estate.

Grandpa Hodges was at home practicing painting. When the butler informed him of Hugo’s return, he didn’t even look up. “To some, this house is just a hotel. Come and go as you please.”

Hugo knew the remark was aimed at him. He thought for a moment before speaking, “Grandpa, I’m back.”

Grandpa turned around, ready to make a sarcastic comment, but stopped short when he saw Hugo’s disheveled state and the bloodstains. “What happened? Why do you look like this? Are you hurt?”

Not wanting to alarm his grandfather, Hugo replied, “The blood isn’t mine. I’m not hurt. I’ll go upstairs, take a shower, and change clothes before explaining.” With that, he headed upstairs.

Watching his grandson’s retreating figure, Grandpa couldn’t help but call out, “Explain before you leave!”

But the only response was the sound of Hugo’s door closing.

“That stubborn boy…” Grandpa muttered, both frustrated and helpless.

Upstairs, Hugo was showering, his mind occupied with Grandpa Adler’s hot–and–cold attitude towards him.

Scarlett Adler’s indifferent attitude was getting under Hugo’s skin.

He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he was definitely feeling irritated.

After a quick shower, Hugo headed downstairs.

His grandfather was waiting for him, and despite his usual grumbling, he was genuinely worried whenever something

happened.

“Grandpa,” Hugo said as he walked over and sat on the couch.

“What on earth happened?” Grandpa asked, immediately reaching over to lift Hugo’s shirt.

“Grandpa, what are you doing?”

“Brat, I want to see if you’re hurt!” Grandpa checked him over thoroughly, only relaxing once he confirmed there were no

injuries.

Hugo sat there helplessly. “Do you think I’d come back here if I was hurt and let you see it?”

Grandpa gave him a sideways glance. “Who knows what you’re up to, you rascal.”

Hugo pressed his lips together, staying silent.

Seeing his grandson looking so lost, Grandpa asked, “What’s going on?”

Suddenly, Hugo remembered something and glanced at his grandfather, then continued speaking as if nothing was

wrong.

“The blood isn’t mine; it’s Scarlett Adler’s.”

Grandpa was sipping his tea, and upon hearing this, nearly spat it out. “What did you say?” He looked at Hugo with wide

eyes, utterly astonished.

“She was in a car accident yesterday.”

Something went wrong

“A car accident? Was it serious? How is she now? Why are you only telling me now?” Grandpa Adler was extremely

worried.

“No life–threatening injuries, just some scrapes, fractures, and a concussion.”

“That’s what you call ‘not serious‘? What would you consider serious then?”

Seeing Grandpa Adler so worked up, Hugo said, “Please calm down, we don’t want you having a heart attack.”

“And you, why aren’t you at the hospital with her? Why did you come back?” Grandpa Adler asked, clearly upset.

Hugo sighed, “Grandpa Adler asked me to come back…”

The implication was clear.

Grandpa Adler looked at him, “You, you deserve this!”

Hugo remained silent, pressing his lips together.

“No, I have to go to the hospital and see her.” He called out to the butler, “Uncle Evans, get the car ready. I’ll change clothe

and head out.”

“Alright, I’ll get it ready right away,” Uncle Evans replied as he headed outside.

Hugo watched him, “How about I go with you?”

At this, Grandpa Adler realized Hugo’s intention and smirked, “So that’s what you’re up to, huh?”

Hugo raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying it.

“Old Adler didn’t want you going to the hospital, so you thought you’d use my name to get in. I was wondering why you came back out of the blue… You’ve even used your grandfather as an excuse!” Mr. Herrick looked at him sternly.

“I didn’t mean it like that,” Hugo said, trying to save face and avoid admitting it.

“Fine, then don’t go,” Mr. Herrick replied, heading upstairs to change clothes.

When he came back down, Hugo was no longer in the living room, and Mr. Herrick didn’t ask any questions. He simply gc

ready to leave.

As soon as he got into the car, he saw Hugo sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Grandpa, Uncle Evans said his leg hurts, so I’ll be your driver today,” Hugo said, turning to look at Mr. Herrick.

Others might not understand Hugo, but Mr. Herrick certainly did. He didn’t say much, just closed the car door.

Hugo smiled slightly and drove off.
