Chapter 1124:
It was painfully, embarrassingly obvious which one of them had been in complete control of their outdoor encounter.
Adah, Clifton, Kieran, and Damian all grimaced and looked away in unison. Just trying to imagine what had taken place out there in the garden was enough to make their eyes hurt and their faces flush with secondhand embarrassment.
Damian found himself cursing Heather silently in his head with every profane word he could think of. That woman was an absolute savage. Couldn’t she see how thoroughly she’d ravaged poor innocent Hugh? The man looked like he’d been mauled by a wild animal.
Just moments ago, Elliana’s mood had been heavy and serious due to the dangerous journey ahead. But the absolutely ridiculous spectacle of Hugh’s disheveled appearance made her burst out laughing despite herself. She had always known that Heather was tough, bold, and fiercely independent in every aspect of her personality. Now, it was crystal clear that Heather preferred to be completely in control when it came to her romantic relationships.
Elliana tried to hold back her laughter while Cole looked like he wanted the ground to swallow him. Cole rubbed his temples. Just look at Hugh—utterly hopeless. Letting a woman mark him with hickeys and still grin like a fool in love. Pathetic didn’t even begin to cover it.
Heather, of course, couldn’t care less what others thought. With a glow of satisfaction on her face, she looked every bit like a seductress who had just gotten her fill. After a quick nod to Elliana, she let out a lazy yawn. “I’m wiped out,” she muttered, heading for the bedroom. “I need sleep p>
Adah’s lips twitched in disbelief, while Clifton, Kieran, and Damian were bewildered. Heather was famous for her strength and stamina; for her to say she was “wiped out” after spending a little time with Hugh—was dating really that tiring?
Meanwhile, Hugh didn’t look tired at all. He just ducked his head, a deep blush spreading up his neck. Once again, the air was thick with that sugary scent of sweet romance. Damian couldn’t take it anymore. “I’ll be at the gate!” he barked and stormed out.
Kieran followed suit, stammering as he rushed off, “I—I’ll go mop the floors!” Clifton, wearing a grim expression, clasped his hands behind his back and calmly walked away. “Perimeter check p>

Adah shot Hugh a look full of disdain before turning sharply and heading upstairs. In the blink of an eye, all four Guardians had left. Katrina, looking lost but curious, trailed after Adah like a small shadow. Cole gave Hugh one last irritated glare, then grabbed Elliana’s hand and led her out to his black Rolls-Royce.
This time, Cole brought only Hugh with him as a driver. When Cole and Elliana reached the car, Hugh instinctively went into work mode. He opened the back door for them, waiting for them to get in before taking his place at the wheel. But Cole ignored the open door. He walked to the passenger side instead, helped Elliana in, and carefully buckled her seatbelt himself. Once she was settled, he circled to the driver’s seat, rolled the window down, and glared at Hugh. “You run
Back to the Evans family estate. “And don’t even think about setting foot on the estate until you’ve cleaned yourself up p>
There was no way Cole was letting Hugh, covered in hickeys and looking like a mess, ride home with them. The sight alone would drive him insane. With that, Cole hit the accelerator. The Rolls-Royce sped down the driveway, leaving Hugh standing there in the dust.
