Struggling with the straps at the back, she heard someone enter and said, “Lily, <ie </i>help
Mommy with the bra strap.”
Hugo Hodges raised an eyebrow at the request, then closed the door behind him <i>and </i>strode
over to Scarlett.
“Did Hugo Hodges ask you to bring him here?” Scarlett asked, still facing away.
Hugo didn’t reply. As soon as hisrge hand touched her back, Scarlett sensed something
was off. She turned to find Hugo looking at her intently. “Is this what you meant?” he asked.
Scarlett frowned, “Why is it you?”
She immediately turned to face him.
“Just seeing if <i>you </i>needed any help,” Hugo replied, his gaze drifting to her chest and
corbone.
Her back was smooth and alluring, while the front was a tempting sight.
Hugo’s eyes grew even more intense.
Scarlett wasn’t naive; she could read the desire in his eyes. She reached for a nearby shirt to
cover herself, but Hugo suddenly grabbed her hand to stop her.

Scarlett Adler’s eyes, pale to the extreme, remained calm, but her delicate brows furrowed
slightly. “Hugo, what are you doing?”
Hugo’s lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes swirling with hidden emotions<b>, </b>his deep voice.
carrying an unusual allure. “Nothing much, just realized my vision might have been off
before.”
Scarlett narrowed her eyes slightly. “Finally admitting it?”
“Yeah!” Hugo nodded. “Admitting it, but wondering if there’s still a chance <i>to</i>…”
“To what?”
His intense gaze fixed on her rosy lips, his throat moved, and in the next moment, Hugo
answered her with action.
His kiss was aggressive, trapping her in a confined space. Scarlett was caught off guard, but
suddenly, it felt like a surge of electricity exploded within her, making her legs feel weak. She
knew this was the most primal human impulse and desire.
With thest bit of rationality, Scarlett tried to push him away, but Hugo quickly restrained her
hands, swiftly conquering the territory, deepening the kiss, just like that night.
Scarlett Adler had never experienced anything like this before, and she felt dizzy and
breathless,
Hugo Hodges seemed unwilling to let her go easily. He held her close, teasingly, in a dance of
intense entanglement.

If it weren’t for Fourth being outside, Hugo might have already pinned her to the bed.
After what felt like an eternity, Hugo finally released her, albeit reluctantly.
Seeing the hint of emotion in her usually calm eyes, Hugo’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.
“You’re a bit inexperienced, it seems,” Hugo remarked, clearly enjoying the upper hand.
Scarlett wasn’t bothered. She shot back, “Not everyone can be as seasoned as Mr. Hodges.”
Hearing this, Hugo’s eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned in, stopping just inches from her lips,
and looked down at her. “Scarlett, since you, I haven’t been with another woman. Do you
believe me?”
Scarlett paused, lifting her longshes to meet his gaze. “Oh really? Then where did Mr.
Hodges get all these skills from?”
“Don’t you know men are naturally skilled in this area? Besides… we’ve had practice,” Hugo
Hodges teased.
Scarlett Adler was speechless.
When it came to flirting, Hugo was indeed a master.
Knowing she couldn’t win against him, Scarlett lowered her gaze to avoid his eyes and calmly
said, “I’m going to change.”
“Need any help?” Hugo asked with a yful smile,
Scarlett nced at him and reminded, “Fourth is still outside.”

“She’s well–behaved; she won’te in,” Hugo assured her.
Even if she did, she’d pretend not to see anything.
Hugo had figured out his precious daughter’s personality. She was quite the clever little thing.
Just as Scarlett was about to say something, Hugo’s phone rang.
He pulled it out and saw it was Henry Fallon calling, so he answered.
“Hello.”
While he was on the call, Scarlett quickly grabbed a couple of clothes and slipped them on.
“Is he dead yet?” Hugo asked into the phone.
“Alright, got it.”
Scarlett Adler finished dressing and turned around just as Hugo Hodges hung up the phone.
Hugo looked at Scarlett, “Guess what happened?”
“Something to do with the Lowe Family?”
She was indeed very clever.
Hugo exined, “Lucian Lowe was taking Irene Gonzalez to the airport when her car got into
an ident. She’s in critical condition at the hospital.”
Scarlett focused on the key detail, “They weren’t in the same car?”

Hugo’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Scarlett. “Exactly.”
“Looks like the Lowe Family is in for some drama,” Scarlett remarked.
“They’re just trying to protect the family name. It won’t amount to much, as long as they don’t
bother you again,” Hugo said.
Scarlett knew he was looking out for her.
Truthfully, even if Hugo didn’t step in, Scarlett could handle these matters herself, albeit in a
different way.
Since he was willing to step in, Scarlett Adler was happy to take it easy.
Scarlett might not have realized it herself, but she had begun to subtly ept his help
without even noticing.
Without saying another word, Scarlett headed for the door.
As soon as she opened it, she saw Lily sitting in the living room, ying on her phone,
behaving just as well as expected.
Seeing Scarlett and Hugo Hodgese out together, Lily’s eyes sparkled like stars. “Scarlett,
Uncle, you’re out?”
Scarlett was speechless.
Hugo, however, walked over to Lily without missing a beat. “Yeah, your mom needed some
help, so I went in to check.”

Lily then lowered her voice, “Uncle, was I good this time? I didn’t knock or disturb you guys.”
Hugo affectionately patted her head. “Yes, you were very good. Lily is the most
understanding. I think I need to give you a nice reward!”
Lily’s face lit up with a smile as bright as a flower.
At that moment, Hugo Hodges turned to Scarlett Adler and said, “Fourth said she’s hungry
and wants to eat. Want to join us?”
Fourth was puzzled. “When did I say that?”
However, the chance to dine with her mom and dad was too good to pass up, so she eagerly
looked at Scarlett and said, “Scarlett, can we?”
Scarlett, always willing to grant Fourth’s wishes, nodded, “Sure.”
Fourth was thrilled and exchanged a secret high–five with Hugo.
Half an hourter, the three of them arrived at a fancy restaurant.
For this meal, Fourth had dressed up beautifully, like a little princess, and naturally, Scarlett’s
attire was just as impressive–a long dress that made her look like a star.
As they walked into the restaurant, they drew countless gazes. After all, they were recently
trending online, and many people recognized them.
