The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel 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.

Chloe squatted down by Hugo, "Good boy, Hugo, next time I'm not busy, I'll take you out to play, okay? With Cicely."

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,

"I heard 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.
