The trio never expected Hugo to bring Scarlett into the mix.
The three of them–no, four, including Henry–were gathered together, chatting lively.

As Hugo and Scarlett walked in, Fourth was the first to stand up and speak, <i>“</i>Scarlett, you’re here?”
“Yeah, it’s gettingte. We should head back,” Scarlett replied.
Fourth immediately frowned, “But we haven’t had dessert yet!”
She dared to bring that up…
Scarlett kept her smile, reminding herself to stay calm.
At that moment, Hugo nced at Scarlett and said, “No rush, let’s have dessert first.”
He then looked at Fourth, “Go ahead, bring the dessert and serve it.”
“Okay!” Fourth happily <i>went </i>to fetch the dessert.
Meanwhile, Henry, who <i>had </i>somehow moved next to Scarlett, greeted her warmly, “Ms. Adler, it’s been a
while.”
Scarlett nodded slightly at him, “Long time no see.
Some people just have that natural aura of wealth and elegance.
Like Scarlett.
Beautiful and confident.
When she makes a move, it’s always impressive.
With her status, she’s definitely the bossdy!

Henry decided he needed to make sure hispliments were always on point from now on.
“Ms. Adler, how have you been recoveringtely?”
“Pretty well!”
“No matter what, injuries are no small matter. Please take care, and if there’s anything you need from me,
just let me know,” Henry said.
Scarlett looked at him and nodded, “Thank you.”
“No need to be so formal, it’s my duty!”
At this moment, First and Second rolled their eyes at him.
Wasn’t he being a bit too eager?
Then, Fourth divided the dessert into several pieces, giving one to each person.
When it came to Henry, he was a bit taken aback, “For me too?”
“Of course, Uncle Henry! You’ve been taking care of Uncle, so you definitely deserve some!” Fourth said.
See, their manners are just impable!
They were so adorable and well–behaved that it was impossible not to like them.
Henry was so excited he could hardly find the words. He took the item from her hand, saying, “Thank you,
sweetie?”
“You’re wee,” Fourth replied with a small smile before moving closer to Hugo.
“Ms. Adler, please have a seat,” Henry offered.
Scarlett walked over to the couch and sat down.

As soon as she did, First and Second instinctively moved to her side, standing close by.
The room’s dynamics were clear.

First and Second seemed more attached to Scarlett, while Fourth clearly favored Hugo, practically glued
to his side.
Hugo could see it too. Whether it was a generational gap or something else, First and <i>Second </i>always
seemed mature beyond their years, greeting him with a formal demeanor every time.
Unlike Fourth, whose every word and action seemed to tug at one’s heartstrings.
Yet, when First and Second were around Scarlett, they acted just like typical kids.
Scarlett Adler usually had a cool and distant demeanor, but when she was with children, she seemed
incredibly gentle. Her every smile and expression radiated warmth.
Watching her, his gaze softened involuntarily.
“Scarlett’s beautiful, isn’t she?” Fourth suddenly asked.
Hugo snapped out of his thoughts, looked at her, and smiled, “Yeah, she is.”
“Such a shame, though. She’s beautiful but doesn’t realize it,” Fourth sighed. “She thinks the outfit she wore
today is just ordinary.”
Hugo chuckled and patted Fourth’s head, “You’re quite perceptive for your age.”
Fourth took a bite of her dessert and looked at Hugo, “Uncle, do you like Scarlett?” she asked suddenly.
Hugo paused for a moment, then nodded, “Yeah, I do.”
“Do you want to be with Scarlett?” Fourth continued.
“Yes,” Hugo replied without hesitation.

He didn’t want to hide his feelings in front of the child.
Fourth smiled, “I knew it.”
Seeing Fourth’s happy expression, Hugo didn’t have the heart to say anything more.
But just thinking about it wouldn’t help.
Scarlett had someone else in her heart now.

At that moment, Lily leaned in close to whisper in Hugo’s ear, “Hey, I’ve got a secret for you.”
“What is it?”
“On the way here, I asked Scarlett if she’d ever be with Uncle Lowe, and she said no.”
Hugo paused and looked at her.
“Uncle Lowe, that’s Yale,” Lily rified.
Hugo squinted, “Lily, are you sure about this?”
Lily nodded, “Absolutely! Scarlett said it on the way here. She said she only sees Uncle Lowe as a friend,
nothing more. So, if you like Scarlett, you better step up your game!” Lily encouraged.
Hugo’s gaze shifted to Scarlett.
If what Lily said was true, then why hadn’t Scarlett denied it when he asked her that day?
“Hey, let me tell you, a lot of people like Scarlett,” Lily continued. “But for some reason, they all end up just
being friends with her.”
It was truly puzzling.
Upon hearing this, Hugo turned his gaze back to Fourth and couldn’t help butugh.

“It’s because your Scarlett is so exceptional that most people can’t measure up; they can only be friends,”
Hugo said.
Fourth’s eyes lit up instantly. “Yeah, that makes sense. It’s the most reasonable exnation I’ve heard so
far.”
Looking at Fourth, his demeanor was just like Scarlett’s.
“Uncle, let me tell you, Scarlett might seem cool and distant on the outside, but she’s actually very
soft–hearted and easily moved. She just hasn’t been in a rtionship before and doesn’t know how to
interact with people, so she likes to act cool. If you like her, you must cherish her and not let her get hurt
again!”
Hearing Fourth’s words, Hugo’s gaze settled once more on Scarlett. “Don’t worry, this time, I won’t let her
down!”
Just then, Scarlett also looked up, and their eyes met in the air.
Seeing Hugo’s intense gaze, Scarlett felt a bit uneasy.
She feigned a cough and said, “Fourth, it’s gettingte. We should head back.”
Fourth immediately responded, “Alright, got it!”
Turning to Hugo, she whispered, “Uncle, I’m heading back now. Don’t worry, I’ll keep you updated if there’s
any news!”
Hugo looked at her with an indulgent gaze, “Okay.”
“Goodbye, Uncle.” She waved her hand reluctantly before returning to Scarlett’s side.
“We’re leaving now,” Scarlett said.
“I’ll walk you out,” he offered.

“Just to the door,” he insisted.
Hearing this, Scarlett didn’t argue further.
They walked together to the hospital entrance, and after they got into the car, Hugo considered leaving
too.
“It’ste. Let me drive you home.”
“No!”
“No!”
“No!”
The three of them spoke in unison.
Scarlett raised an eyebrow, not needing to say a word.
Fourth looked at him, “Uncle, you’re still recovering. The most important thing is to heal properly. There will
be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
Fourth’s words were always worth listening to, and Hugo nodded in agreement, “Alright, I’ll go with what Fourth says.”
Then he turned his gaze to Scarlett. “Let me know when you get home.”
Almost as if on autopilot, Scarlett nodded in response.
