Sheila glared at Jarrick. "He is a good man unlike you!" she exclaimed loudly which made Hugo laugh.
"I like your sister's honesty," he commended.
Jarrick made a face. "Well, we should be going now, Hugo." He patted his shoulders before taking his bag and Sheila's bag.
"Alright." Hugo smiled before glancing at Sheila, who seems like she wanted to say something.
"It was nice meeting you, Hugo." Sheila shyly uttered.
"You too."
Jarrick waved his hands at Hugo. He looked at his sister, lightly pulling her in her arms. "Don't tell me you have a crush on him?" The corners of his lips rose up.
"What are you saying, brother? I'm just happy that I was able to talk to the highest student in our school!" Sheila answered. The smile on her face couldn't die down. She touched her cheeks and massaged her jaw to stop it.
"Really?" Jarrick doubted as he watched over at what Sheila was doing. He doesn't believe that she has no hots for Hugo.
He remembered that Sheila had mentioned Hugo's name multiple times already in their house. It was fun, since she didn't know that he was Hugo's friend.
"Yeah." Sheila rolled her eyes.
"Then what about the times you mentioned his name in our house?" He stopped walking and looked at Sheila. He wiggled his brows, obviously teasing her.
"Y-YOU!" Sheila's face instantly turned tomato red from embarrassment. "Why didn't you tell me that you were his friends?! I told you that I was idolizing him since he was good-looking and smart at the same time!"
Jarrick laughed out loud. He held onto his stomach when it started to hurt from too much laughing. "It was fun!"
"Hmph!" Sheila crossed her arms to her chest.
He wiped the tears from his eyes before looking at her. "I'm sorry, alright? You didn't even ask, so why would I tell you?" trying to reason it out, went closer to her. He placed his right hand on Sheila's cheeks, suddenly pinching them.
"Ouch! You asshole!" Sheila grabbed Jarrick's hands before kicking him on the feet. Sheila glared at him before taking a deep sigh.
"You know what? Let's go now, brother. We still need to go to the church after this."
Jarrick and Sheila were picked up by a car. On the other hand, Hugo went outside of the university and went to the same alley. When he saw that there was no one around, he immediately teleported in front of their house.
Entering inside, he directly went towards his room. Hugo changed his clothes before lying down on the bed.
'It seems like it's a wrong decision to instantly lie down,' he breathed out when he felt his eyes getting heavier after feeling the soft mattress against his back.
'Well, since I just got a few hours of sleep because of yesterday, maybe I should just take a nap for a couple of hours. It's not like my phone will run away if ever.' he tilted his head to the side.
He plugged in his phone's charger to the port beside his bed. '.Let me charge you first,' he smiled before plugging in his phone.
Hugo placed his phone on the table before fixing his sheets. He laid down once again comfortably and closed his eyes.
It took him 2 hours of a nap before he was woken up by the noises outside. His forehead creased as he looked at the clock on the wall.
"It's just 4 pm… what are they doing to be this noisy?" he couldn't help but sigh. He fixed himself first before opening his door and going out.
"Mother, what is happening?" Hugo curiously asked when he saw his mother in front of his door.
Verda smiled. "We will be having a visitor for dinner! You should go and help your father outside."
"A visitor?" Hugo scratched the back of his head. He unconsciously nodded and went outside to see his father busy repairing their table.
"Don't you have work, father?"
Hitano nodded. "Yes, but I will leave once our dinner is done. Can you help me with this, son?"
"Of course," Hugo went closer to Hitano.
He grabbed the wood near his father's legs and gave it to Hitano. "Why are you repairing this? Last time I checked, this is still okay?" his mouth twisted.
"I saw that there was a crack on the side. This will be dangerous for you and Hailey," Hitano answered as he grabbed the damaged wood behind him.
"Ohh," Hugo took the wood from his father's hands and stared at it.
"It was a good thing that you noticed this, Father." He smiled before placing it back on the floor.
Just like what his father told him, there was really a crack on the side of the table. This will be dangerous for Hailey since she likes going on top of the table.
Thinking of that, he glanced to the side and asked. "Where is Hailey?"
Hitano stopped what he was doing. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "She's in our room. You should go there and check up on here. I can manage this already." He showed a big smile on his face.
"Alright. Just call me when you need me, father." He bid goodbye before going to where Hailey was.
"Brother!!!"
Hailey ran toward Hugo to give him a big hug. Hugo giggled. His eyes flew to some of Hailey's dresses that were scattered on the bed.
"What are you doing to your dress, Hailey? You're creating a big mess here," He questioned as he picked it up.
Hailley pouted, "I am picking a dress for later brother! Mother said to pick the best one I have."
'For later?' Now that Hailey had said that, he forgot to ask his mother who will be their visitor.
Kneeling to the floor so he can have the same height as Hailey, "Do you know who will be our visitor, Hailey?"
"I heard he is one of the people who went to your birthday, brother." Hailey scratched the back of her hair. "What's his name again?"
"Is it Julius?" Hugo's brows shot up.
"Yes!" Hailey exclaimed before continuously nodding her head.
When Hugo heard it, his lips instantly stretched out.
'It seems like he knew it already. I wonder why is he here. Does he plan to threaten me by using my family? If that is it, then Julius is already starting to make a move.'

Author's Note- There will be no update for tomorrow. I wanted to focus more on editing the early chapters since I wasn't satisfied with them.
Rest assured that I won't be making any drastic changes. I will just try to fix some grammatical errors and maybe some plotholes that I left previously.
