Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 297

Hugh frowned as he walked over.

Thinking about everything Serena had been through, he felt that two hours in the basement wasn't nearly enough punishment. Yet here she was, taking a casual stroll.

Serena was briefly surprised. But soon, she realized that Hugh hadn't contacted her because he'd been investigating the hospital incident.

After a short nap earlier, she'd come to terms with everything.

"Cole is the one who's really hurt. Instead of staying home and worrying, I might as well take a walk. Besides, you skipped work this afternoon. Are you going to have to work overtime tonight? Will it be tiring?" She explained herself before showing concern for him.

Hugh's frustration disappeared instantly. He sighed, stepping closer. "No overtime, and I'm not tired."

"That's good. Want to pet Snuggie?" Serena smiled and lifted Snuggle, holding it out to him.

Snuggle liked Hugh too. It spread its little paws and let out two soft meows.

Hugh gave in, tapping the kitten's head with a finger. In response, Snuggle meowed even more sweetly.

Serena laughed and ruffled its fur. "Such a little attention-seeker. You turn into a sweetheart the moment you see a handsome guy, huh? Why don't you ever act cute like this around me?"

"Meow…" Snuggle immediately meowed again, as if to make up for it.

Serena nearly buried her face in his fluffy belly from excitement. Hugh tugged lightly at the cat's tail, as if praising its obedience.

They were so absorbed in their playful exchange that they didn't notice the growing whispers around them. A few parents were watching in amazement.

"I thought she was just another single cat lady, but she actually has a boyfriend?"

"They live together, so he's probably her husband! And he's way taller than my husband and so handsome too. Ugh, I'm jealous."

"Seriously! Comparing him to my husband just makes me depressed. If mine had even half this guy's looks, I'd wake up smiling every day!"
