Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 324

Hugh stepped off the gravel path and pushed open the door of the traditional restaurant. His cold, piercing gaze was like a blade pressing against Sarah's back.

A chill ran down her spine as sweat beaded at her temples. She turned around stiffly, just in time to catch a glimpse of a dark figure brushing past her shoulder.

Hugh walked right by her without so much as a glance, but the chill he brought with him lingered in the air like a storm front.

Sarah turned her head slowly, almost mechanically. There he was, tall and imposing, now standing protectively beside Serena.

His eyes were dark, unreadable, but his low voice cut through the tension like steel. "As long as I'm part of the Larson family, the Larson family will always have Serena's back.

"You're so eager to have her go crawling back to beg you and Howard. What is it, Sarah? Are you hoping that I drop dead soon?"

Sarah opened her mouth to explain, but Serena was faster. She tugged on Hugh's sleeve with a frown.

"It was just a pointless argument. Don't say things like that. It's bad luck. You're going to live a long, healthy life, okay?"

Some things should never have been said out loud. Words had power.

Serena's disapproval was written all over her face, and she tugged his sleeve with
