Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 389

Perhaps Hugh had been overthinking it back then. He thought that single rose might stir something in Serena's heart. He believed that if he took it slowly, he would eventually find a way into her heart.

It turned out he was still far from it.

They sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

The birthday party on the island had started in a lively bustle and ended in quiet calm. When they returned to Javerton City, the moment their feet touched solid ground, the soft sea breeze was replaced by the sharp gusts slicing through the concrete jungle.

Serena and Hugh returned to their homes in Crestview Bay.

After a few days apart, Snuggle meowed and clung to her affectionately. He rubbed against her legs and flopped over to show his belly.

"I'm so sorry, my adorable Snuggie. I was worried you'd get seasick, so I left you behind."

Serena didn't even bother closing the door. She scooped him right up and buried her face in his soft belly, taking a deep, contented sniff.

Snuggle let out a string of sweet, melodic mews as she buried her face in his fur. Outside the door, Hugh coldly stared at Snuggle. Great, he should never have helped Serena rescue that furball in the first place.

Serena sneezed as a puff of fur hit her face.

Hugh turned back and picked up the shedding kitten with one hand.

"Take him for a bath first. He has been running wild for days and is covered in dust."

and that was his fur! He struggled with all four paws but couldn't escape. With Serena sneezing non stop, Hugh handed the cat off to Chandler to bathe
