    “Don’t mention her again,” Hugo Hodges suddenly said.


    The old man paused, “Are you talking about Scarlett?”


    Hugo Hodges pursed his lips, his eyes shing with a hint of coldness.


    The old man looked at him, “So, you’ve thought it through?”


    “I’ve always been clear.”


    The old man couldn’t help but smile. He knew his grandson’s personality better than anyone.


    He might say no, but his heart was clearly saying yes.


    “Alright, I won’t mention her. So, are you going to be with Tiana Young?”


    Just then, Tiana Young returned with the groceries. She was about to push the door open when she heard


    the old man mention her name, so she stopped and listened at the door, her heart pounding in her chest.


    “That’s a different matter,” Hugo Hodges said.


    “How is it a different matter? Or do you think she’ll wait for you forever?” the old man asked.


    Hugo Hodges was getting agitated by the questioning, “So, are you saying you agree?”


    “As long as you get married soon and give the Hodges Family a great-grandchild, I’d agree even if you married


    a blind woman,” the old man said.


    Hugo Hodges was speechless.


    He looked at the old man, who seemed very calm and sincere.


    Meanwhile, Tiana Young, who was listening outside the door, felt a surge of joy in her heart. Her biggest


    worry had always been Mr. Hodges’ approval. Although the old man’s analogy wasn’t pleasant to hear, at


    < Chapter 37 My taste is better than yours.


    least he wasn’t objecting, which put her at ease.


    “I’ll handle my affairs,” Hugo Hodges said.


    “Alright, I’ll give you a month to finalize things,” Mr. Hodges replied.


    A month…

    “Why don’t you just sell me off?” Hugo Hodges asked.


    “You’re the only heir; can’t sell you. If I could, do you think I’d have kept you around this long?” Mr. Hodges


    retorted.


    Hugo Hodges was speechless.


    When it came to arguing, Hugo Hodges really couldn’t win against the old man.


    “Over the years, your situation with Scarlett has been a knot in my heart. Seeing that Scarlett doesn’t me


    me and that you two parted amicably, I’m relieved. Now, I n to introduce Scarlett to a few more potential


    matches.”


    Hugo Hodges frowned and looked at the old man, whose expression was calm, not at all like he was doing it


    on purpose.


    But Hugo Hodges knew he was being deliberate.


    “You’re going to set her up with boyfriends?” Hugo Hodges asked.


    Grandpa Hearst nodded. “Yes, indeed.”


    Hugo Hodges sounded helpless. “Is that appropriate?”


    “What’s inappropriate about it? You two are divorced, and Scarlett still remembers me, calling me Grandpa


    Hearst. I’m happy about that and want her to find a good man to live a good life. What’s inappropriate? Or…


    are you unwilling?” Grandpa Hearst asked, probing him.


    Hugo Hodges scoffed. “What reason do I have to be unwilling? It’s just that your kindness might be in vain.”

    “What do you mean?”


    “She has a boyfriend,” Hugo Hodges said.


    “She has a boyfriend? Howe I haven’t heard about this?” Grandpa Hearst frowned.


    Remembering how intimate she sounded on the phone outside the Sky Garden restroom, Hugo Hodges felt a


    pang of irony.


    “She has no reason to tell you. Don’t forget, you’re my own grandfather,” Hugo Hodges said solemnly.


    Grandpa Hearst’s focus was elsewhere. “Then how do you know she has a boyfriend?”


    Hugo Hodges frowned, reluctantly saying, “I’ve met him.”


    “You’ve met him? When? What’s he like?” Grandpa Hearst asked eagerly.


    Hugo Hodges pictured themughing together in the coffee shop and finally said coldly, “Not good.”


    Looking at him, Grandpa Hodges felt relieved. Others might not know Hugo Hodges well, but he did. On the


    surface, he seemed indifferent, but in reality, he cared deeply.


    “No matter what others say, she has one good quality: her taste is better than yours,” Grandpa Hodges said.


    Hugo Hodges sneered, “Living with her will reveal that she’s all surface.”


    “You used toin that she was unsophisticated,” the old man pointed out bluntly.


    Hugo Hodges felt that the conversation was going nowhere.


    He stood up. “It’s gettingte. You should rest early. I’ll head back.”


    “Alright, go on. I’m going to chat with Scarlett for a while. I’ll make sure she brings the person over for me to


    meet,” the old man said, his words deliberately provocative.


    Hugo Hodges pretended not to hear.


    < Chapter 37 My taste is better than yours.


    Just as he was about to leave, the door opened, and Tiana Young walked in from outside.


    She acted as if she hadn’t heard or seen anything.


    “Are you leaving already?” Tiana Young asked, looking at Hugo Hodges.


    “You haven’t left yet?”

    “I went out to buy something for Grandpa.” As she spoke, Tiana Young walked over and ced some fruits


    and other items aside. “Grandpa Hodges, I specifically asked the doctor. Your blood sugar isn’t high, and


    you’re a bit anemic, so eating more fruit is good for you. I’ll leave these here for you to enjoy. When you’re


    done, I’ll buy you more.”


    Looking at Tiana Young, Mr. Hodges nodded, “That’s thoughtful of you, thank you.”


    “You’re wee, it’s the least I could do,” Tiana Young said with a smile.


    Hugo Hodges watched her, his expression unreadable.


    “Alright, it’s gettingte, I’ll take you home,” Hugo Hodges said.


    Tiana Young nodded, then looked at the old man, “Then I’ll be going now.”


    Mr. Hodges nodded in response.


    Only then did Tiana Young leave with Hugo Hodges.


    As they went downstairs, Tiana Young looked cheerful, while Hugo Hodges remained silent.


    “Hugo.”


    “Hmm?”


    “Do you prefer boys or girls?” Tiana Young suddenly asked.


    Hugo Hodges frowned, “What do you mean?”


    “Nothing, I was just asking,” Tiana Young said, already dreaming of having children with him. Hugo Hodges


    would probably love them too.


    After all, he seemed to like other people’s children so much.


    Thinking of this, she looked at Hugo Hodges beside her, his thin lips pressed together, his handsome


    features as if they were carved from stone.


    His looks, abilities, and methods made him highly sought after. This man was destined to be hers.


    “Oh, by the way, Hugo, my parents areing back from overseas the day after tomorrow, so I’d like to take a


    leave to spend time with them,” Tiana Young said.


    Hugo Hodges nodded. “Of course. Have you arranged their amodation?”


    “Not yet… because I’m not sure if they’ll be staying for a short visit or longer.”


    “Just arrange it at the Shimao Hotel. Put it under my name,” Hugo Hodges said.


    Tiana Young felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. “Well… I won’t be polite then. Thank you on behalf of my


    parents.”


    Hugo Hodges didn’t think much of it.


    Tiana Young, on the other hand, was in a good mood.


    Scarlett Adler had a boyfriend, and as long as she quickly finalized things with Hugo Hodges, everything


    would be settled, and there wouldn’t be any changes.


    Thinking of this, Tiana Young looked out the window, hoping her mother woulde quickly and help her <pe up with a n!
