No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 207
“Are you giving me this castle?”
Even Jane could not help but frown.
This thing was worth hundreds of millions.
“Since we’re in Fousm, this gift was an original idea that I thought of. Why? Don’t you like it?”
Hugh sounded a little nervous.
Although he had expected such a situation, sensing that Jane might not like his Christmas gift, Hugh still panicked.
After all, his backup plan was inferior to this castle.
“No… I like it very much, but it’s too expensive. It makes my Christmas present for you look so dull, Jane explained.
Seeing that Jane did not ***his gift, Hugh secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, he spoke gently.
“It’s fine. As long as it’s from you, I’ll treat it like a priceless treasure. I’ll cherish it for the rest of my life.”
Hugh had received countless gifts in his life.
Ever since his mother died in a car accident, no matter how many gifts Hugh received, they were not as precious and warm as the gifts his mother used to give him when he was a child.
But now…
The feelings that Hugh thought would never appear again had come back to life.
As long as it was a gift from Jane, even if it were a pebble, Hugh would be overjoyed.
Because it was from Jane.
No one else could replace how much she meant to him.
He would reserve all his love and tenderness for her alone.
In Hugh’s heart, no other woman mattered except for Jane.
“Here. I figured you’d fly here. I’ve brought your Christmas present.”
Jane was holding a vintage Chanel bag she had taken from the changing room.
She handed it to Hugh.
Hugh took the bag and shook it.
He could hear the sound of the gift clinking in her bag.
One after another, they sounded like the bells of a wedding hall. It struck the deepest corners of Hugh’s heart.
Hugh smiled. “I’ll treasure it.”
Hugh rarely smiled.

Despite that, it did not affect his appearance.
And his smile did not look stiff.
His entire person emitted an indelible glow.
It dazzled Jane’s eyes, even though she knew that Hugh was very handsome.
Hugh could transform his beauty into a lethal weapon at his will.
Sometimes, Jane would think that if Hugh were willing to sell himself, countless people would fall before his knees.
Just like now…
Jane thought she had seen all kinds of beauty and was immune to them.
Yet she still could not help but pause.
She had become obsessed with his looks.
“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me… so intensely?”
While Jane was lost in thought, Hugh approached Jane again.
Jane could feel his even breaths at the tip of her nose.
She felt the depths of her soul stir.
Jane subconsciously took a few steps back.
But Hugh was holding her hand.
She could not escape.
Her ears turned uncontrollably red.
To hide her embarrassment, Jane coughed a few times and forced herself to be calm. “Hugh, you really should smile more. When you smile… you look quite handsome.”
Jane was still covering the truth.
Hugh was not “quite handsome”.
Even a dictionary could not describe how Jane had felt when she caught a glimpse of Hugh earlier.
He was so dazzling that even the Darknet Queen, who had lived two entire lifetimes, was captivated by him.
His handsomeness was other-worldly. He looked like a god who had descended from another world and lived among mortals.
“Oh…”
Hugh’s thin lips parted slightly. His voice was low and magnetic.
He only uttered a simple sound, but Jane could feel her body pulsing with excitement.
Hugh had never felt so lucky to have a handsome face.
Even Jane was stunned.
At that moment, Jane’s gaze had landed on Hugh. She had stared at him so intensely and did not look away.
Words could not describe how happy Hugh felt.
If he could seduce Jane with his looks and make her his, he would not mind using the “beauty” he despised most as a weapon, using the method he disliked the most.
If he held on to his pride, he would not win her.
Hugh had already understood the truth behind those words after meeting Jane.
“Janie, your hand is so hot, and your ears are a little red. Are you feeling unwell?”
Hugh pretended to be concerned.
His devilish words sounded tempting and bewitching.
“No, I’m afraid I’m reacting to your Type Omega blood.”
Jane replied very calmly.
However, the imperceptible quiver in her voice betrayed her emotions.
“Speaking of which, it’s not worth going through all that gesture to give me this castle as a Christmas gift, is it? Are you still hiding some other surprise I don’t know about?”
Jane cleverly chose a tried-and-true battle tactic-changing the topic.
Avoidance might be shameful, but it was useful.
Now that her state of mind was in chaos and her heart was pounding wildly, she could no longer maintain her rationality.
If she continued to go head-to-head with Hugh from a disadvantaged position, Jane must be an ***.
“Of course, there is…”
“Since this castle belongs to you, what do you think about giving it a better name?”
“I’m sorry. Please allow me to say no. I’m bad at naming.”
Thinking that she would have to come up with a name, Jane felt a headache.
When she named the Red Star Team, it was because the team consisted of a group of patriotic hackers who wanted to serve and bring glory to the country.
