"I'm so relieved you're staying... Chelsea, I get it. You don't believe just my word. How about this? Today, we'll go back and face that driver together. I won't admit to things I didn't do, and you have to trust me."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Hugh felt like he was about to break down. No matter how much he tried, Chelsea always seemed half-convinced. He was usually so good with words, beating anyone in an argument. With Chelsea, however, he just could not find the right thing to say.
Maybe it was true what they said, 'Every Jack has his Jill'? He was totally at Chelsea's mercy.
"Hugh, I'm giving you this chance, but you have to promise me... If anything like this ever happens again, I won't be able to forgive you!"
"Chelsea, if you'll just believe me, I promise nothing like this will ever happen again!"
Hugh's eyes, red and watery, could not hold back the tears any longer. A teardrop slipped down his cheek.
Chelsea had never seen Hugh so upset and was caught off guard. "You... Hugh, I haven't even started crying. Why are you crying?"
Chelsea took a tissue from the table and handed it to Hugh, reminded of how she must have looked when she ran into Lucy.
Hugh had never cried in front of anyone before. For years, even when his company faced huge problems, Hugh kept quiet. He just waited to show everyone they were wrong.
No matter how much pressure he was under, he never let it get to him enough to cry.
It seemed only Chelsea could make him feel that upset.
"I... Hugh, are you okay?"
Chelsea never imagined Hugh could cry harder than she did. He was sobbing into her neck, holding on to her like he would never let go.
"Hugh..." she whispered into his ear. He just hummed back, his voice full of sniffles.
The fierce lion had somehow turned into a little puppy looking for comfort.
"How about we eat something,
Hugh? You must be hungry after your trip from Eurovia. Don't go
hungry, especially with your sensitive stomach." Chelsea nudged the bowl of salad toward him "This will be gentle on your stomach."
Hugh slowly raised his head, his eyes still red from crying.
"You're such a mess. Anyone would think I
teeds mean to you..." Chelsea
gently as she handed him another tissue.
"Don't... You do it," he said, looking at her with watery eyes.
Hugh was really handsome. Even with tears in his eyes, he still looked good.
Chelsea was always a softie. Seeing Hugh like this made it even harder for her to be mad.
However, she still had her limits.
"You can cry, but I'll still ask for proof. I hope you're not lying to me, Hugh."
Her voice was firm but quiet, worried that he might start crying again.
Hugh bit his lip and nodded.
"Okay, then let's eat," she said.
Hugh gazed at the bowl of salad Chelsea had brought him. Just as he was about to step away from her hug, the room's door banged open with a loud noise.
The three of them looked at each other in an odd silence. Lucy stood frozen, unsure of what to do next.
