Before getting on the plane, Kiara put on a fresh outfit and tossed her mobile into a trash bin, not taking it along.
Everything here she wanted to cut off cleanly, not taking a single bit away.
‘Hugo, clean your neck and wait for me.’
..…
During that night, the Craig family home rose to the top of searches after it was blown up.
Thankfully, there were no people inside at that moment, so there were no injuries for now.
Hugo was at the office holding a meeting with top managers when he got a flood of messages from Dorothy.
Hugo called off the meeting and hurried to see Dorothy.
Because the house had been blown apart, Dorothy was living in a hotel.
When the man walked into the room, Dorothy cried and rushed forward to hold him.
“Brother Hugo, I have no idea who ruined our home. I was nearly scared to death. If I had not gotten out in time, you would never see me again.”
Her tears fell like petals in the rain, making his heart grow soft.
Hugo held her close and comforted her in a gentle voice. “It’s alright. With me beside you from now on, no one will hurt you.”
“I will investigate this issue carefully. For the time being, stay here. I will book all the presidential suites above. You can stay within the top floor area. After I have my assistant search for a few nice houses, we will move there.”
Dorothy nodded and then spoke, “Brother Hugo, can you also arrange one unit for me?”
For Hugo, a house was not much trouble, but for some reason, when he heard those words, he did not feel comfortable.
It was as if a sound inside his chest kept telling him: if it were Kiara, she wouldn’t ask in such a plain way.
He considered it seriously. During all these years, Kiara had never once asked him for anything on her own.
Either he pushed things onto her, and she accepted them quietly.
She had never opened her lips to request…
When Hugo didn’t speak, Dorothy felt a bit unsure and joked lightly. “Brother Hugo, you don’t need to feel pressured. I just said it for fun. As long as I’m beside you, I’m already satisfied. As for those outside matters, I don’t care much.”
Even though Dorothy spoke that way, Hugo still didn’t feel at ease inside.
Hugo said, “It’s only a house. Tomorrow I’ll let the assistant take you to see some homes. Pick the one you like and swipe straight away.”
When he finished, he gave her a black card.
