So it turns out, he didn’t dislike them. He didn’t dislike him. All those assumptions were just that-
assumptions.
Even though First felt a surge of joy inside, he maintained a calm exterior. He was more interested in actions
than words. After all, anyone can say nice things.
Hugo pursed his lips, deep in thought, and then looked at him with utmost seriousness. “First, I know that no words can make up for the years I’ve been absent. I don’t expect your forgiveness, but I will spend the rest of my life proving that I can be a good father,” he said, each word deliberate and sincere.
“And what about Scarlett?” First asked.
Scarlett was always his main concern. If Scarlett wasn’t willing, they wouldn’t even be having this
conversation.
At the mention of Scarlett, a shadow crossed Hugo’s eyes. He looked at First, a hint of irony in his smile. “Of course, I want to make amends, but you know your mom’s personality better than anyone. She’s not going to
forgive me that easily!”
“So, are <i>you </i>going <i>to </i>give up?”
“No!” Hugo shook his head, a small smile ying on his lips. “Giving up isn’t in my vocabry. I’m
determined to make it happen!”
He was resolute.
First couldn’t help but feel sornewhat satisfied upon hearing those words. From witnessing Hugo’s <b>reckless </b><b>devotion </b>to Scarlett <b>to </b>hearing his current promises, Hugo’s image in First’s mind had gradually reached <b>a </b>
<b>passing </b><b>grade</b><b>. </b>

First looked at him, his face serious and earnest, mirroring Hugo’s own. “Can you promise me something?”
“Speak.” Hugo was ready to agree to not just one thing, but a hundred if needed.
First pondered for a while before speaking seriously, “Don’t hurt Scarlett anymore. I don’t know where you
two will end up, and I don’t want to interfere too much, but my bottom line is that Scarlett won’t be hurt again.
Otherwise…”
“Otherwise what?<b>” </b>
“If you hurt Scarlett again, I’ll spend my entire life tormenting and punishing you. I believe Second and Fourth share my sentiment.” First said, his young age contrasting sharply with his harsh words.
Hugo looked at him, lips pressed together in silence. He wasn’t angry, nor was he threatened by First’s words. Instead, he suddenly recalled the day First had held a knife, ready to kill Wade…
He couldn’t imagine someone so young having such drive and determination.
Moreover, he understood everything, unlike an ordinary child. In conversations, while he asionally showed a child’s longing gaze, most of the time, he was like a negotiator.
Hugo couldn’t fathom what they had been through over the years. A child who should be carefree now seemed as seasoned as an old soul.
To say he wasn’t heartbroken would be a lie.
With emotions swirling in his eyes, Hugo looked at him silently.
<b>First </b>squinted<b>, </b>seemingly displeased, “Are you thinking<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Hugo shook his head<b>, </b><b>“</b><b>No</b>, I’m just trying to figure out what <b>to </b>say to make you trust me.”

“Trust and distrust both need time to prove themselves. For now, you just need to promise me,” First replied
Hugo knew he couldn’t treat him like an ordinary child. Sweet talk wouldn’t work here; it might even ruin the
little goodwill he had built.
The only thing he could do was be sincere.
Hugo nodded, “I promise you, I will never do anything to hurt your mom again!”
Hearing his assurance, First nodded, “I believe you this time, but don’t let me down.”
Hugo smirked sarcastically. “First, is that really how you see me?”
“Well, it was,” First admitted without hesitation.
Hugo was left speechless.
Suddenly, he truly understood the saying about shooting oneself in the foot.
But he couldn’t me anyone else for this; he never imagined a day woulde when his own son would
criticize him!
“And now?” Hugo asked, looking at him. “Do you still feel the same?”
“Now<i>…</i>” First hesitated, considering how to respond.
Hugo waited patiently.
<b>“</b><b>In </b>Fourth’s eyes<b>, </b>you’re probably great<b>!</b><b>” </b>First finally said.
<b>Fourth’s </b><b>admiration </b><b>for </b>him was obvious.

“And what about you?”
“I agree with Second,” First replied.
“And what do you and Second think?” Hugo pressed on.
“It’s just the beginning… who knows?” First shrugged.

No matter how much Hugo tried, First just wouldn’t admit that his opinion of Hugo had improved even a
little.
Hugo smiled at him.

He was indeed a smart kid, not one to easily reveal his feelings.
Hugo didn’t push him. These things aren’t meant to be forced out.
“I believe one day you’ll see things differently,” Hugo said,
First remained silent, but inside, he felt something indescribable.
Actually, in his heart, things had already improved a little…
But First wouldn’t say it, nor did he want to.
Even though the man sitting across from him was his biological father, with the bond of blood, he couldas
suddenly act all warm after six years apart.
These things take time.
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Hugo looked at him. “By the way, is Tara Green a friend of yours? Hugo
suddenly asked.
First paused,
He studied Hugo<i>, </i>wondering if he had noticed something or was just making conversation.
After hesitating for a moment, First nodded. “Yes<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“How did you two meet?” Hugo asked.
At that moment, Hugo <b>wasn’t </b>thinking too deeply about it. Even though he <b>was </b>sure Tara was someone from the “underworld,” he hadn’t connected First to it yet
<b>To </b>him, First seemed like a kid who was a bit mature for his age, maybe even a bit clever and tough. <b>But </b><b>that </b>

was just potential brought out by the hurt his mother had suffered.
First thought for a moment and came up with a reasonable excuse, “She’s my martial arts instructor.”
“You’re learning martial arts?” Hugo was surprised.
“Yeah!” First nodded, his lie bing more natural, “So I can protect Scarlett in the future.”
Though the words were false, the sentiment was genuine.
Hugo looked at him. The exnation sounded reasonable, but there was still a hint of doubt.
“She’s really good to you!”
“She treats me like a little brother!” First replied.
Hugo couldn’t find any trace of deceit in his eyes.
After a moment, Hugo said, “First, Tara Green doesn’t seem like an ordinary person… I’m not sure how to put
it, but if you want to learn, I can find someone for you, someone just as good as her!”
