Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Isn't it difficult to deal with a woman who isn't interested in your money? Hugo went upstairs and headed straight to First's room. He knocked a couple of times, and the door swung open, revealing First standing there as if he had been expecting him. "Still awake?" Hugo asked, looking at him. First nodded. "Mind if I come in for a chat?" Hugo asked. First opened the door wider, inviting him inside. This room had been prepared by the old man as a wedding suite for Hugo and Scarlett back home, but Hugo had never stayed here.

Just a few days ago, the old man had given the room to First, moving Hugo's belongings here. Seeing Hugo silent, First spoke up, "Looking at this room, does it bring back memories?" His words carried an undertone, and Hugo lowered his gaze, meeting First's eyes, which were fearless and direct. "More than that, I regret it deeply," Hugo admitted. First raised an eyebrow and sat down on the bed. At that moment, Hugo walked over to him. Despite having thought of many things to say, none seemed fitting now. "I know you're still upset with me, but I want to make my intentions clear.

I'm determined to win back your mom, not on a whim, but with a lifelong commitment. I'll make amends and spend my life loving and protecting her." Listening to Hugo, his stance had been ambiguous last time, but now, there was no uncertainty. "So, what now?" First raised an eyebrow. "You need to help me, or at least, don't stand in my way!" Hugo said directly. He realized that talking to First didn't require beating around the bush. Being straightforward and simple was the most effective approach. "But why should I trust you?" "Because I'm your dad, and I won't lie to you," Hugo replied.

"I promise you, on my honor, that nothing you fear will happen again." First looked at him, his eyes flickering. Hugo's behavior had been commendable lately, but First felt that if a man was forgiven too easily, he might not value it enough. After a moment of thought, First spoke, "Alright, I won't stop you. But if Scarlett gets hurt again, I don't care who you are. You won't see her, no matter where you go." Despite being just a child, the words from First's mouth left no room for doubt in Hugo's mind. Looking at him was like seeing a reflection of his younger self.

Hugo smiled, "Don't worry, you won't have to do that." "Better be," First replied. *Are you sure you won't consider helping me out?" Hugo asked, looking at him. "Isn't it more sincere to solve your own problems?" First countered. Despite his young age, First's words and gaze were anything but childlike. Sometimes, Hugo felt like he was facing an equal opponent. Hugo nodded, "You're right. I'll handle the mess I made myself." "Then I'll be watching closely!" "Alright," Hugo smiled. "It's getting late. I need to rest. Goodnight," First said, effectively dismissing him.
