Just as the flower delivery guy left, Scarlett Adler’s phone rang.
Everyone around her exchanged knowing nces, as if they already guessed who was calling.
“Ooh~”
“It’s Mr. Hodges, isn’t it?” someone teased.
“Mind your own business!” Scarlett retorted, then walked towards the break room with her phone.
Once she was alone, she answered the call, “Hello.”
“Did you get the flowers? Do you like them?” Hugo Hodges’s rxed voice came through the line.
Leaning against the wall, Scarlett askedzily, “Alright, what’s your angle with this?”
“What angle? I’m just staking my im!” Hugo replied.
“Staking your im?”
“Those three guys seem pretty close to you,” Hugo said.
Scarlett had thought her colleagues were just joking, but it turned out Hugo had actually noticed.
She smirked, “Is Mr. Hodges getting jealous?”
On the other end, Hugo’s voice grew deeper, “Not jealous, but I need them to know who you belong to. They
shouldn’t even think about making a move on you.”
His words were filled with possessiveness.

Scarlett Adler’s eyes sparkled as she smiled slightly. “Mr. Hodges, who do you think I belong to?”
“Sooner orter, you’ll be mine,” he replied, his tone domineering.
Scarlett paused for a moment, her eyes shining brightly in the sunlight’s reflection.
“Why so quiet?” Hugo Hodges asked from the other end of the line.
“It’s nothing. I have something to take care of here, so I’ll hang up now,” Scarlett said, cutting off the call
before Hugo could respond.
Looking at her phone, a hint of amusement flickered in Scarlett’s eyes. She smiled, put her phone away, and
turned to leave.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
First and Second were apanying William Adler as he shopped in the supermarket.
William was meticulously selecting items at the front, while First and Second exchanged nces behind him,
seeminglymunicating without words.
At that moment, William turned around and, seeing them gesturing like they were ying charades, couldn’t
help but ask, “What are you two up to?”
First quickly snapped back to attention and smiled at William. “Oh, nothing at all.”
Second smiled, “We were just discussing what to buy…” Then he walked over with a smile, “Great–grandfather,
do we need to buy anything else?”
“Just some fresh fruit, and we should be good.”

“Fruit, huh? It’s over there. <i>I’ll </i>go with you to pick some!” Second offered.
William Adler chuckled and headed toward the fruit section, with First following closely behind.
As William selected fruit, Second and First wandered nearby.
“Great–grandpa…”
“Hmm?”
“Are you still eager for Scarlett to find a boyfriend?” First asked.
Hearing this, William nced at him, “Why do you ask?”
“You were pretty anxious about it before, but you don’t seem to betely, so I was just wondering.”
William closed his eyes for a moment, continuing to pick fruit, “These things can’t be rushed.”
“Actually, it’s pretty clear that Dad’s been paying a lot of attention to Scarletttely,” Second chimed in.
Mentioning Hugo Hodges, William had a good guess about what these two little ones were up to.
“Great–grandpa, was Dad really that bad before?” Second asked.
“I don’t want to talk about him!” William Adler replied with displeasure. Despite his grievances with Hugo
Hodges, he refrained from speaking ill of him in front of the children.
“So, it seems… he must have been pretty bad!” Second concluded.
“That’s grown–up stuff. You kids don’t need to worry about it,” William said.
Regardless of whether Hugo was a good man or husband, his attitude toward his three kids was impable.

“But I heard that all those crazy things Dad supposedly did to Scarlett were fake,” Second mentioned.
Hearing this, William paused and looked at him. “Who told you that?”
“Fourth did!”
William then softened his gaze, “What does she know…”
“A few days ago, she went out to eat with Dad and Mom and ran into that actress Dad was rumored to be
involved with. Apparently, the actress confessed to Scarlett that there was nothing between her and Dad,”
Second exined.
William was taken aback.
At this moment, Alex quickly added, “Today, I heard that Charlie went to the set with that actress. They said
they’re going to act in some y!”
Listening to them, William Adler furrowed his brow.
Could this really be true?
Noticing William’s hesitation, Alex and Sam exchanged a nce and continued to persuade him.
“So, I was thinking, maybe all those reckless things Dad did in the past were intentional? Maybe he’s not as
bad as we thought!” Alex suggested.
“And during the years Dad was divorced from Scarlett, he didn’t have any scandals. I think it’s quite possible,”
Sam agreed.
William snapped back to reality, looking down at the two kids. With each of theirments, he asked, “So,
are <i>you </i>two here to speak on behalf of Hugo Hodges today?”

“No!”
“Of course not!”
They both denied in unison.
“Sure <i>you </i>aren’t. Every word you say is in his favor!” William pointed out.

“Even if what you’re saying is true, even if he didn’t do all those outrageous things, didn’t he deliberately
create all that drama to force your mom to divorce him? That can’t be fake, right?” William Adler said. “So no
matter what, he’s still a…”
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but William held them back.
He couldn’t badmouth Hugo Hodges in front of the kids!
He just couldn’t!
William kept reminding himself over and over.
At this point, Second looked at First with a helpless expression.
First continued, “Great–grandfather, I know you’re protective of Scarlett. We’re just discussing the possibility…
Besides, it at least suggests that Dad isn’t the yboy people say he is. He’s actually quite loyal. Maybe he
just… didn’t have feelings for Scarlett back then.”
“Hmph!” William snorted. “When he was young, he insisted on marrying your mom. Otherwise, would I have
agreed to the marriage?”
The two of them seemed to have stumbled upon some juicy gossip, their eyebrows raised slightly. “Dad had
his eyes on Scarlett since he was a kid?”
William Adler realized that this topic was getting a bit out of hand, so he pressed his lips together and stayed
silent, continuing to pick out fruit.
The two little ones weren’t about to let this opportunity slip away. They clung to him, “Great–grandpa, what
really happened?”

It’s nothing, it’s all in the past!” William replied, avoiding their gaze.
“Come on, great–grandpa, tell us<i>!</i>”
“Yeah, just a little bit!” the two kids insisted, clinging to him.
William knew that if he said any more, he would inevitably have to talk about what happened twenty years
ago.
