Chapter 312: Hugo Wants the Potion

After finishing their shopping trip, Jared kept his promise and took Tina back to the Reed family. The time they spent together was too short, and watching Tina get out of the car and leave felt like a piece of his heart was being torn away. Just wait a little longer; the time isn't right yet. Tina was still investigating her master's matters and needed to stay with the Reed family. Jared knew how important this was to Tina. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted, and he didn't want to either. Once everything was over, he would give her the grandest wedding and marry his girl.

On the other side, Tina had just returned home when Hugo called out to her before she reached her room.

"Tina!" He rubbed his hands together, a slightly nervous smile on his face, and asked with concern, "Where did you go? Why did it take so long to come back?"

Tina raised her eyes slightly, her expression indifferent. "Is something wrong?"

Hugo waved his hands repeatedly as if afraid she'd misunderstand. "Nothing much, just wanted to chat with you."

"You see, Jennie and I have been here for so long but haven't had a chance to sit down and talk with you. I also want to know how you're doing here."

Tina gave him a meaningful look and then nodded. She didn't take him to her room but went to the courtyard instead. There were several lounge chairs in the courtyard. Tina casually picked one and sat down, getting straight to the point. "What do you want to know?"

Hugo paused for a moment before sitting beside her with a forced smile. "How do you feel staying with the Reed family? How are they treating you?"

The same few questions over and over again. Tina looked disinterestedly at the wisteria in the yard and replied, "It's okay, no particular feelings."

Annabelle indeed treated her well, always considering her emotions. In contrast, Muff and Jasper were harder to pin down. When it came to feelings weighed against interests, those two always calculated the pros and cons. Seeing that she had no complaints about the Reed family, Hugo continued, "Actually, I came to the Reed family this time also to see where your mother used to live."

"If time could go back, I really wish I could have treated her better then. She suffered so much but was indeed a good mother."

Hearing him mention her mother made Tina's expression soften slightly, adding a bit more emotion to her eyes. She lowered her gaze; no one knew what she was thinking. "I know she was great."
