Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 389

Perhaps Hugh had been overthinking it back then. He thought that single rose might stir something in Serena's heart. He believed that if he took it slowly, he would eventually find a way into her heart.

It turned out he was still far from it.

They sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

…

The birthday party on the island had started in a lively bustle and ended in quiet calm. When they returned to Javerton City, the moment their feet touched solid ground, the soft sea breeze was replaced by the sharp gusts slicing through the concrete jungle.

Serena and Hugh returned to their homes in Crestview Bay.

After a few days apart, Snuggle meowed and clung to her affectionately. He rubbed against her legs and flopped over to show his belly.

"I'm so sorry, my adorable Snuggie. I was worried you'd get seasick, so I left you behind."

Serena didn't even bother closing the door. She scooped him right up and buried her face in his soft belly, taking a deep, contented sniff.

Snuggle let out a string of sweet, melodic mews as she buried her face in his fur.

Outside the door, Hugh coldly stared at Snuggle. Great, he should never have helped Serena rescue that furball in the first place.

Serena sneezed as a puff of fur hit her face.

Hugh turned back and picked up the shedding kitten with one hand.

"Take him for a bath first. He has been running wild for days and is covered in dust."

Snuggle meowed like he was protesting. That wasn't dust, and that was his fur!

He struggled with all four paws but couldn't escape. With Serena sneezing non stop, Hugh handed the cat off to Chandler to bathe him.

The soft meows faded into the distance. Serena's nose turned red from all the sneezing.

Hugh used the excuse of "too much fur in the air" to bring her over to his place to sit down.

Still sniffling, she followed him to his house. She quickly booked a cleaning service from her phone.

As soon as she sat down, she spotted a mess of documents spread across the coffee table. There were papers about various government grants and business support plans.
