<b>Chapter </b><b>204 </b><b>Enough </b><b>for him </b>to imagine a dramatic scene.
Scarlett Adler woke up feeling like the world had turned upside down.
Her news, photos, and videos were everywhere, firmly holding a spot in the top five trending
topics.
Her phone was bombarded with messages from thepany group chat–Ethan
Underwood, Brent Carter, East Hayes, and Nate Thorne, among others.
She didn’t rush to reply. Instead, she browsed through her phone, and upon seeing the news,
her brows furrowed in displeasure. She slipped on her robe and went straight to her
Satisfied with her work, she got up and went to freshen up.
Half an hourter, as she stepped out of the bathroom, her phone started ringing wildly on
the table.
She walked over, picked it up, and saw Nate Thorne’s number. She answered casually.
“Talk.”
“You finally decided <i>to </i>pick up!” Nate Thorne had been calling her non–stop.
“I was showering,” Scarlett replied simply, lounging on the sofa with her long legszily
draped over the coffee table, casually drying her hair with her other hand.
“The stuff online, that was you, right?” Nate asked. He had been scrolling through gossip
when it suddenly disappeared, and he knew it had to be her doing. He called her non–stop for

half an hour before she answered.
“Hmm.”
“So, it’s all true?”
Nate Thorne was already shocked to see Scarlett Adler involved with Hugo Hodges, but after
seeing the news from the Hodges Family annual g, his jaw nearly hit the floor.
“Which part are you talking about?” Scarlett asked calmly.
“What else could it be? Those three kids–are they really yours and Hugo’s?” Nate asked.
“Yes.” Scarlett had no intention of hiding it any longer.
Nate was taken aback, “Your biological kids?”
“Biological!”
Nate took a deep breath, “When did this happen?”
“A few years ago.”
<i>“</i>So, that’s why you disappeared for a few years?” Nate asked.
“I just wanted <i>to </i>give them a peaceful environment to grow up in,” Scarlett exined.
Nate was speechless.
Everything finally made sense. He had always wondered why she suddenly vanished years
ago, and now the truth was out.

He used to think Scarlett was emotionally distant and would have a hard time finding a man.
Now, not only did she have a man, but she also had kids.
Three at once!
Nate Thorne found it hard to believe such an advanced situation.
On the other end of the phone, Nate gave a wry smile. “Scarlett Adler, your way of doing
things never ceases to amaze. Just dealing with Hugo Hodges alone left me speechless, and
now you’ve gone and had three kids… Do you even know who Hugo Hodges is? You dared to
have children with him?” Nate asked sternly.
“I know,<i>” </i>Scarlett replied calmly.
Nate was at a loss for words. Of course, she knew. As the top hacker, Shadow Walker, there
was no information she couldn’t uncover, so how could she not know Hugo’s background?
“Since you know, you still dared to have kids with him…” Nate continued.
“When I married him back then, I didn’t think that far ahead.”
Nate was stunned, “You secretly got married without telling me?”
Scarlett remained silent.
It seemed like the more they talked, the more secrets came to light.
Nate resigned himself to it, “Alright, what else have you been hiding from me?”
“It’s over!” Scarlett Adler said.

It took Nate Thorne several minutes to calm down. “So, what’s the deal with you and Hugo
Hodges?”
“When we divorced, he didn’t know I was pregnant. He only found out when I came back this
time,” Scarlett replied, keeping it straightforward.
But those simple words were enough for Nate to imagine a dramatic scenario.
The legendary hacker, Shadow Walker, had ended up with the notorious “Wild Wolf,” known
for his ruthless reputation.
And they had three kids together.
The thought of it was quite unbelievable.
Nate pondered carefully, “Hugo Hodges is known for being ruthless. Even though he’s
gradually stepping away from the scene, he’s still involved in some way. No matter what, you
should be careful. Given your identity, it’s hard not to be targeted by those with ulterior
motives.”
Scarlett’s lips curled slightly, appreciating Nate’s concern. “Yeah, don’t worry.”
“But it should be fine. Even a tiger wouldn’t harm its cubs. You’ve given him three kids, so he
probably won’t do anything,” Nate murmured.
Scarlett Adler listened quietly, not saying a word.
“By the
way, those three kids, are they the ones we saw at Sky Garden that day?” Nate Thorne
suddenly remembered and asked.

Nate took a deep breath. “If this news hadn’te out, how long were you nning to keep it
from me?”
“I wasn’t nning to hide it from you. I had nned for you to meet them earlier, but
something came up. I’ll arrange it soon,” she replied.
The shock was real.
The excitement was real too.
Since the day he met Scarlett, she had constantly been challenging his understanding of the
world. By now, there was nothing he couldn’t ept.
In fact, it felt abnormal if she didn’t do something that surprised him.
Thinking about it, Nate said, “Alright, anyway, with you, the unexpected is the norm. I have to
say, I’m really looking forward to meeting your three little ones. I can’t imagine what kind of
kids the top two in the field would have.”
Just seeing them from a distance that day, one of the kids seemed particrly interesting.
Now that he thought about it, if they were Scarlett and Hugo Hodges‘ children, that look
made perfect sense.
However, this only made him more excited.
At that moment, Scarlett Adler’s eyes were unreadable. “I’ll let you know once everything’s
arranged!”

“OK!”

Just then, the door turned slightly as someone returned.
Scarlett spoke up, “I’ve got something to handle here, I’ll hang up now.”
Without waiting for Nate Thorne to respond, she ended the call.
The door opened, and in walked Fourth and Hugo Hodges.
Seeing them, Scarlett furrowed her brows.
“Scarlett, you’re really home!” Fourth eximed, ncing at Hugo. “I told you, Mom’s at home,
probably just woke up!”
“What’s going on?” Scarlett asked.
“Your phone wasn’t reachable, and Uncle was worried, so he had mee back with him,”
Fourth exined.
Hugo stood at the door, silent, but his dark eyes were fixed on her.
She was wearing an oversized white T–shirt that barely covered her hips, revealing her long, <i>slender </i>legs with every step she took, sparking wild imaginations.
Her hair was still damp, casually draped over her shoulders, with a towel hanging around her neck. Her skin looked bright and smooth, exuding an intense, sensual beauty.
Hugo Hodges never expected thating upstairs would bring such a pleasant surprise. A
smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

At that moment, Scarlett Adler seemed to realize something and nced at them. “Fourth,
entertain our guest. I’m going to change my clothes!” With that, she turned and headed into
the bedroom.
“Uncle, you can sit here. I need to use the bathroom for a moment.
“Alright.”
