บท 68: An Offer To Work

"An accident?!" Verda's mouth fell hung open. She placed the utensils down back on the table before turning her head unto Hugo. "why didn't you say anything to us?"

'Why would I say it when you are obviously siding with Hugo?' He thought on his mind. "I just forgot it, Mother. I was doing a lot of things, so it slipped in my mind.

Verda doesn't look happy with what Hugo answered her. She stood up and went near to him. "Are you okay? Did anything happen to you?"

"Nah. I'm fine." He shrugged his shoulders. "Just go eat your food, Mother."

Taking a deep sigh, Verda nodded. "It's a good thing that you mentioned that Sir because it seems like our son here had no plans on telling us about it."

"No. That's all right, Verda. I heard that it was quite a shock for everyone. So, don't blame your son for that." Julius reassured.

A smile crept into his lips when he remembered Hugo's answers. He was feeling a mixture of both happiness and disappointment.
