This time, Scarlett didn’t question Hugo’s sincerity anymore.
In truth, whether someone truly loves you can be felt. When he loves you, his eyes can’t lie.
At this moment, Scarlett could genuinely feel Hugo’s earnestness.
But what she didn’t trust was time.

No one can guarantee how long a rtionship willst or what it can endure.
Most importantly, she didn’t want to burden Hugo with her hatred; he wasn’t responsible for it.
Moreover, he had already lost his memory while saving her before. Scarlett didn’t want to involve him again.
With this in mind, she looked at him and spoke softly, “Hugo… I think it’s time to end this.”
Hugo narrowed his eyes, studying her. “End this? What do you mean?”
Scarlett pressed her lips together before continuing, “I mean, I’ve thought it through. There’s no future for us,
so don’t waste your time on me. Find someone more deserving of your efforts.”
Her tone was calm yet filled with despair.
Hugo stared at her, his dark eyes like the deepest shadows of the night, filled with disbelief.
“Are you serious?” he asked, his <i>voice </i>hoarse.
Scarlett nodded calmly.
“Can you tell me why?” Hugo pressed.

Scarlett paused for a moment, then looked at him and said, “There’s no real reason. If I had to give one, it’s my own. The past is the past. I tried to move on, but I just can’t.”
Their eyes locked, and Hugo’s gaze seemed to pierce into her very soul.
Scarlett didn’t flinch, meeting his eyes steadily.
After what felt like an eternity, Hugo suddenly let go of her. “I understand,” he said. Before Scarlett could say
anything else, he turned and walked away.
After a few steps, he stopped, his back to her. “There’s no one more worth the effort in this world, only those
I’m willing to make the effort for!” With that, he left.
Just as he reached the door, it opened from the outside, and First and Second walked in.
Seeing Hugo’s face turn pale, First frowned, “You’re leaving?”
“Yeah,” Hugo replied sullenly.
It was clear his mood was off.
“What happened?” First asked.
Hugo nced toward the bedroom, his gaze deep, then looked back at them. “Nothing. Just take care of your
mom.” With that, he didn’t linger and walked out with long strides.
First and Second exchanged nces, looking at each other.
“They definitely had a fight!” Second said confidently.
First stood up, ready to head to the bedroom, but Second stopped him.

“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to check on Scarlett,” First said, worry etched on his face.
Second sighed, “Give it a bit. Give Scarlett some space.
“But…”

“I know you’re worried about Scarlett. I am too. But couples fight, that’s just how it is. Let Scarlett calm down
and figure out what she wants to say before we go in,” Second exined.
First listened, his brow furrowing, but he decided to heed Second’s advice.
He nced toward Scarlett’s bedroom, his brow furrowed.
Inside the bedroom.
Scarlett leaned against the wall, her mind filled with the image of Hugo’s wounded eyes. She took a deep
breath and closed her eyes.
Half an hourter.
Scarlett finished freshening up and stepped out of her room.
First and Second were waiting in the living room. As soon as she appeared, First stood up, “Scarlett…”
By now, Scarlett hadposed herself, her emotions in check. She looked at them with a casual smile,
“Back so soon? How’s Tara?”
Seeing her act as if nothing was wrong, First was momentarily at a loss for words, “She’s fine…”
Scarlett nodded, “That’s good.”

As Scarlett seemed ready to leave, First quickly asked, “Scarlett, are you heading out?”
“How else am I supposed to earn money to support you little rascals?” Scarlett retorted.
The more she acted like everything was fine, the more worried First became, “Scarlett, about…”
“Scarlett,e back soon!” Second quickly stepped forward, interrupting First, and said with a smile.
Scarlett smiled and patted Second on the head. “Got it!” She then changed her shoes and headed out the
door.
As soon as she left, Second turned to First with a sigh. “Bro, I know you’re worried about Scarlett, but some
things don’t need to be spelled out. They’re adults and can handle it themselves. If Scarlett wants us to know,
she’ll tell us.”
“I know, but I can’t help but worry.”
“You’re just <i>like </i>Dad with that temperament,” Second said.
Mentioning Hugo, First frowned. “Do you think Dad did something to upset Scarlett again?”
Given Hugo’s recent behavior, it was hard to miss.
Second rolled his eyes, “Bro, you’re way <i>too </i>obvious in taking sides. It’s clear Dad’s the one who’s upset.
Didn’t you see how mad he was when he left?”
Now that he mentioned it, it did seem that way.
“So, what do you think caused it?” First asked.
“Well, I’m not sure about that,” Second said, “but I can tell Scarlett is definitely in control of this rtionship.
So you don’t have to worry about her getting pushed around. In fact, you might want to save some sympathy

for Dad. He might need it!” He recalled Hugo’s face turning a shade <i>of </i>blue with anger and couldn’t help but
feel a bit sorry for him.
First listened, lips pressed together, pondering something.
Just then, Second, holding his phone, suddenly noticed something and sat up with a start.
“Bro, Scarlett was online yesterday!” Second eximed excitedly.
“What?” First looked at him.
“Look!” Second showed him the phone.
First took the phone and, upon seeing the bounty list, frowned deeply.
“Why do you think Scarlett is looking for this tattoo design?” Second asked.
They both knew how long it had been since Scarlett Adler had logged into that ount. Now, she had logged
in just to search for this tattoo design, posted a bounty, and even spoke in the channel. This series of
unusual actions made them realize there must be something going on.
First frowned, “Do you think this might be rted to what Scarlett did yesterday?”
It was obvious to everyone that Scarlett Adler had been acting strange since yesterday. Even though she
pretended everything was fine, living together for so long made them sensitive to her moods.
Second thought about it seriously and nodded, “It’s very possible!”
“We can’t let this go. We need to look into it thoroughly!” First insisted.
