The man clicked his tongue in displeasure.
"We'll proceed exactly as you wish."
Watching Hugo calmly give his assurance, Dominic Chae's face was changing through various colors.
Hugo glanced at Julian, who was still kneeling in a daze. Julian's face was deathly pale.
Hugo turned away nonchalantly. His eyes met with Winter's, who was watching from a distance.
"Will you wait just a little while, until I set everything right?"
"I'll solve it for you."
"No, I'll do it with my own strength."
"Why make it difficult for yourself?"
"I don't want to create any more unnecessary commotion. For both of us."
The words Winter had said to him the day after returning from Jeju echoed clearly in his ears.
Hugo immediately understood what Winter meant.
If they revealed their relationship first, even if Winter managed to rectify the past with Julian on her own, they would inevitably be engulfed in baseless rumors.
