"Hi there, sweetie." Lianne waved her hand at her daughter. "What are you doing here?"
Lilith glanced over at Hugo before answering her mother. "I already finished the thing that Hugo gave me, so I am here to call him…"
"Perfect timing, then! We just got done with our business." Lilianne emphasized the word done before laughing out loud.
"Oh…" Lilith paused for a while when she noticed something. "Why do you look so tired, Hugo?" she curiously asked.
The corner of Hugo's lips rose up as he turned his head to Lilianne. "Well, your mother and I—'
"I told you that we were moving things around in the garden, right?" Lilianne interrupted Hugo. She nervously holds onto the table as a support for her wobbling knees.
"Oh yes, I remember now!" Lilith chuckled. She went closer to Hugo and saw the sweat on his forehead.
"My mother must have tired you out."
Hugo nodded and smiled widely. "Yeah. But don't worry, I enjoyed it more than her," he answered as he took a quick glance at the side. f reewebnovel.com
Lilianne's cheeks reddened. "You can go inside already, Lilith. Hugo will follow you immediately. I will just have him move this table on that side."
Lilith nodded disregarding what Hugo answered. She shrugged her shoulders. "Alright. Can I make some sandwiches for Hugo then?"
"Alright."
"I will wait for you in the dining hall, Hugo!" Lilith excitedly ran to the inside of the house. She was in glee as she opened their refrigerator.
"It seems like my mom made Hugo work a lot. I Should cook something delicious for him since it's my first time serving him food," she whispered in the air.
On the other hand. Lilith walked towards Hugo. She took a deep breath of relief after her daughter left them alone.
"Please don't ever tell Lilith, what happened earlier," she pleaded in.
Hugo nodded. "I won't." He saw that his answer put a smile on Lilianne's lips.
'Well, I enjoyed it too, so why would I tell Lilith about it?' he uttered in his mind.
"You can enter now." Lilianne walked closer to Hugo. She leaned against him and kissed his lips lightly.
Hugo kissed Lilianne back. It took them a couple of minutes before their face officially went away from each other.
"I will go inside, then," Hugo stood up and left Lilianne outside.
Before he goes to where Lilith was, he proceeded to go to the bathroom first. He washed his hands and gargled some water.
He made sure that there was no evidence left on his body.
When he was done, he directly went to the dining hall and saw Lilith busy preparing the table.
"Are you done with it?" Hugo asked.
Lilith nodded. She took out the paper from her seat and gave them to Hugo. "You can check it now as I prepare our food."
"Ok."
Hugo sat on the chair beside Lilith. He looked at the paper and saw that almost all the answers were correct.
"It seems like we won't be needing to tackle the past lessons," Hugo informed Lilith as she sat.
Her eyes sparkled with joy after hearing what Hugo had said. "That's nice to hear, then! But before we continue, we should eat first." The woman announced before they devour the food on the table.

"How are you, Son?" Verda looked at her son as he arrived at their house.
Hugo exhaustedly smiled at his mother. "I'm alright. Just tired," he answered as he went into his room. He didn't even manage to change his clothes. He just laid directly and stared at his phone for a couple of minutes when he saw a new article.
[Breaking News!]
[ELO has opened up a form where you could sign up on their website. This form is for those people who wanted to have early access to the vitamins that the company would release in 2 months.]
[Mr. Julius Achre said that their CEO has decided to open this up so that people who badly need the vitamins could have them for free. The public's reaction on this matter was surely positive as the form reached almost 1 million in just the first day.]
Hugo's forehead creased after reading the article. He quickly stood up as if his tiredness had immediately gone away.
'I hope my family didn't sign up for this."
He immediately went out of his room and searched for his mother.
"Mom, did you sign up for these?" Hugo asked directly questioned. He stared at his mother for a while and saw the joy in Verda's eyes. This confirmed one thing.
"I didn't know the news would be this fast! And yes, I signed up for this, son." Verda happily answered. She took out her cellphone and opened the form that she already filled out. "Here."
Hugo took out the phone from his mother's hands. His brows shot up. Everything looks fine, but there was something in his heart that was telling him to be suspicious.
"Mother, can you tell me if there will be a reply in a couple of weeks?"
"Of course," Verda nodded at his request. 'It seems like my son is curious about this. Did he find this a good opportunity too?' she smiled widely as her eyes went into Hugo.
"Anyway, I will go to the market first. Do you want me to buy anything for you?"
Hugo shook his head. He bid goodbye to his mother as she leaves their house. He walked toward his parent's room and made sure that Hailey was sleeping.
"I need to know some information…" he tilted his head.
He took out a couple of money from his drawer. He changed his clothes to all black and wore a hoodie to cover up his face. He left their house after he was done and rode a cab.
"To Crimsom Winterville, Sir."
