Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1108: I don't mind that, though, since I benefit from it.

In the end, Max and Hugo ended up having to carry all of Lily's shopping bags since there was just too much for one person to do it.

"Why did she even buy so much if she can't carry it herself?" Max grumbled, now walking back to the hotel where Ginnie and Lily were staying. He peeked over at the side of the shopping bags he was carrying, narrowing his eyes to see that neither Lily nor Ginnie were carrying anything.

"Heh. If you regret even volunteering, why did you volunteer?" Hugo mocked, making Max glare at him.

But alas, Max couldn't even get angry anymore because Hugo had this improvised collar where he hooked some of the shopping bags.

"Tsk." Max clicked his tongue irritably, shaking his head. "You should've just gone with your sister or Slater."

"As if I'd let you win."

"This is not about winning or losing, idiot." The vein in Max's forehead protruded. "The only reason I volunteered is because my accommodation is close to these girls. You had to catch the ferry to go to the other island. Well, you're athletic. If you run, you could probably reach the last ferry."

Hugo's steps halted, frozen in place. Noticing this, Max slowed down and looked back.

"There's... a last ferry?" Hugo blurted out, his face full of dread.

Max's face twitched as he asked, "Don't tell me you didn't know that?" and Hugo's expression gave him the answer.

Hugo had no idea there was a curfew to cross the island. Max shook his head and resumed his steps.

"Why do I even bother arguing with an idiot like him?" Max wondered to himself. "Doesn't that make me the bigger fool?"

With that, Max didn't care about Hugo anymore. He had no idea how Hugo recovered, but eventually, the latter caught up.
