Chapter 442
Cicely looked at Hugo, lightly touched his head, turned away sadly, and stood up.
His tiny hands gripped her dress tightly
Hugo’s face was calm but laced with panic. He clenched his lips, tears spinning in his eyes, but he held them back
He was so much like Cicely right now
Tears rolled down Cicely’s slender neck uncontrollably, the heartache too much to bear
“When will you come back?” Hugo asked, a rare question from him.
Cicely clenched her fists tight
When would she come back?
She didn’t know
She wanted to give Hugo a clear answer, to give him, and herself, something to look forward to
But she couldn’t come and go as she pleased.

Hugo turned his head to look at her, “Really?”
“Really! I would never lie to you.” Chloe said.
Hugo hesitated for a while, and finally let go of Cicely’s dress.
Cicely quickly walked towards the door.
On the way home.
Chloe was focused on driving.
Cicely was sucking on a lollipop and said,
“Theard you’ve been taking care of Hugo, thanks.”
Chloe replied indifferently. “Do you plan to let Hugo stay in the orphanage forever? Don’t give me that excuse about
not wanting him to have a mother who’s been in jail”
Cicely laughed at this, sounding helpless. She said,
“Do you think I’m that noble? He’s still young, why would I worry about my prison record affecting his future?”
“So what’s your plan?” Chloe asked
Cicely looked ahead, her tone casual,
“Make money!”
Yeah.
Money was the foundation for a fresh start
A fresh start…
A gleam flashed in Chloe’s eyes, her lips curved up slightly.
Wasn’t everyone the same?
In a sense, the and Cicely were the same kind of people.
Chloe took a break today. After dropping Cicely off at home, she checked the time. It was still early.
She was bored at home alone, so she called Rose.
She just wanted to chat, but as soon as the call was answered, she heard Rose’s weak voice.
“What’s wrong?” she asked immediately

Chloe’s expression turned serious, “Are you at home? Is sorneone taking care of you? I’m coming over.”
“No, it’s fine, im just a bit tired I want to sleep, you don’t need to come. Let me rest Rose said.
Chloe frowned “Did you check your temperature? Do you have a fover?”
I dont have a fiver Im just very sleepy don’t worry I’m okay, you go do your things! I’m hanging up” floss sald

“Okay” Chloe said.
It wasn’t just sickness that needed care, Rose had been very busy at work recently.
But after hanging up the phone, Chloe started feeling lonely again.
She didn’t realize it before, but now she started to notice that it was a bit hard to bear when she was alone.
She thought for a bit, she’d only been to Damon’s company once in all this time.
Since she was free now, why not…
He wouldn’t get mad for this, right?
