Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 167

Warmth returned to her body as Serena placed the little calico cat in her room.

Seeing Hugh dragging his suitcase over, she asked, "How was your business trip?"

"It went well." A little exhausting. He had wanted to come back as soon as possible.

Hugh glanced deeply at Serena, then shifted his gaze toward the living room, where scattered dishes and an opened box of porcelains lay. The packaging looked freshly unsealed.

Inside were the exact pieces from the photos Samuel had sent him—a gift meant for him.

Hugh stopped in his tracks. But when he saw the little calico start lapping at the water inside one of the porcelain bowls, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Samuel had been talking nonsense.

He was about to turn away when Serena noticed his gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of the porcelain bowl for the cat?"

"It looks nice." He didn't like it.

A chill started to spread around him.

Serena, oblivious, picked up the two cups from the entryway and handed them to him.

"I made these just for you. Last time, I only gave you a small charm—it was too simple. So this time, I took the opportunity while working at your friend's place to craft these two blue ripple-patterned cups. They match the decor of your home."

The cups were cool to the touch, but Hugh's mood noticeably improved. Even watching the little calico drink water no longer annoyed him.

He finally commented, "They look good."

Serena let out a quiet sigh of relief. It was great that Hugh liked them.

She reached for the small bag from his suitcase.

"It's good that you like them. Let me help you organize your luggage. The sooner we finish, the sooner you can rest—consider it my thank-you for helping me find the cat."

Hugh didn't refuse.
