That day, Mr. Hodges had those two kids with him. If they weren’t part of the Hodges family, why would he be so
affectionate with them and keep them close?
More importantly, given the stature of the Hodges family, why would they allow Hugo to be involved with a woman who
already had children?
The most crucial point was the rtionship between Scarlett and Hugo–they had <i>been </i>divorced.
Could it be that the kids were Hugo’s?
Just then, Tiana emerged from the bathroom. She hadn’t slept all night and looked quite worn out. But seeing Audrey
deep in thought, she couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, weren’t you out getting breakfast? Why are you back?”
Audrey nced at Tiana, her eyes revealing aplex mix of emotions.
If that really was Hugo’s child, then her daughter, Tiana, might not have such an easy time bing the official partner.
“Mom?” Tiana called out again when she noticed her silence.
Audrey forced a smile. “Oh, it’s nothing.”
“What about breakfast?” Tiana asked.
“Oh, I went out without my phone,” Audrey said, waving her phone slightly. “I just came back to get it.”
Tiana didn’t think much of it and nodded.
At that moment, Audrey hesitated but couldn’t hold back any longer. She looked at her daughter and asked, “Tiana, did
Hugo and Scarlett have a child before?”
Tiana paused, turning to look at her. “How did you know?”
Audrey immediately stepped closer, her expression serious. “Is it true?”
Tiana nodded. “Yeah, when they divorced, Scarlett hid the fact that she terminated the pregnancy. I heard it was twins. Because of that, Hugo…”

“I can’t stand her,” Audrey muttered under her breath.

“Did she really?” Audrey asked, her curiosity piqued. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah, because of this, Hugo’s been giving her a hard time…” Tiana couldn’t help but add a sarcastic edge to her voice. “He
ims to hate her, yet he keeps helping her. I don’t get what’s so special about that woman!” As she spoke, her fists
clenched, and her eyes sharpened with intensity.
Audrey’s face grew tense.
If that were true, then everything that happened earlier made sense.
Scarlett never got rid of the kids…
The numbers matched, the timing matched.
Now, the Hodges Family knew about the existence of these two kids… all that was left was to acknowledge them as part
of the family!
Seeing Audrey remain silent, Tiana asked, “Mom, what’s going on? Why are you asking about this? And how do you know
they had kids before?”
Audrey looked at her clueless daughter, who was still in the dark about everything!
She always thought Scarlett was no ordinary woman, and now it seemed her actions were deeply calcted. Using the
guise of a divorce, she took the kids away to have them, and now that they’ve grown, she’s back to im her stake…
Ha! What a clever scheme and strategy!
Her silly daughter, how could she possiblypete with that woman?
Audrey thought for a moment and looked at her. “Tiana, are you sure you still want to be with Hugo? Honestly, he’s not as
great as you think. There are plenty of guys like him abroad. I could introduce you to some…”
“Mom!” Tiana interrupted her before she could finish. “I’ve said it before, I only want Hugo. No one elsepares to him. I
just want him!”

“But I see Scarlett still hanging around Hugo. You can’tpete with her!” Audrey said.

“Compete?” Tiana paused, recalling what someone had told her yesterday. A fierce smile crept <i>onto </i>her lips. “I don’t need topete with her. Soon, she won’t be able topete with me, and she’ll give Hugo up!”
“What do you mean?” Audrey frowned, sensing that Tiana was hiding something from her.
Tiana hesitated, realizing she had said too much. She quickly returned to her usual demeanor and smiled. “Nothing, Mom.
Why so many questions today?”
“I… I’m just worried about you.”
“I know you’re worried, but I’m starving…” Tiana whined yfully.
Audrey couldn’t resist her charm. “Alright, alright, I’ll go get you something to eat right now. Just wait here, I’ll be back
soon!”
Tiana smiled and nodded.
Audrey hesitated for a moment but decided to clear things up before telling her.
With that thought, Audrey turned and left the room.
As the door closed, Tiana’s smile slowly faded.
She gazed out the window<i>, </i>her <i>once </i>gentle eyes turning sharp and fierce.
Once night falls, everything will change.
Scarlett, don’t me me; me yourself for crossing the wrong people…
This is just your bad luck!
With that in mind, she took out her phone and sent a message to Hugo.
“Hugo, do you have a moment? I need to talk to you.”

Meanwhile, in another room.

Fourth had just entered the hospital room and was immediately captivated by the abundance of flowers, letting out an
involuntary “Wow.”
“Scarlett, what’s going on here?” Fourth couldn’t help but ask.
Scarlett nced at her. “Some people just have money to burn.”
Hugo remained unfazed.
<b>At </b>that moment, both Lily and Max couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Hugo.
Hugo then said, “The smell of disinfectant in the room isn’t pleasant. I thought some fresh flowers might help.”
Lily and Max were speechless.
What an excuse!
William frowned, letting out a cold huff. “Always doing something useless!” He then took the breakfast to serve Scarlett
some porridge.
Hugo maintained hisposure and said nothing.
Lily, however, was quite taken by it. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Hugo.
Dad is just so romantic!
So many flowers, just thinking about it makes me happy!
Unable to hold back, Lily said, “I think they look great!” She walked over, admiring and smelling the flowers.
Hugo’s face immediately softened with a loving smile. He walked over, gently patting her head and crouching down in
front of her. “Do you like the flowers too, Lily?”
Fourth nodded eagerly, “Yeah, I like it.”
“How about I give you gifts often from now on?” Hugo asked.

“Of course. From now on, for every special day that’s yours–birthdays, happy days, even sad days–I’ll have something for
you,” Hugo promised.
Having missed so many years, Hugo was determined not to miss any more days that belonged to them.
Fourth’s happiness was almost overflowing as she nodded firmly, “Okay, you have to keep your promise.” She held out her
little pinky.
Hugo looked at her and then hooked his pinky with hers.
