Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 496

Lucy had planned to burst in, ready to save Chelsea from big trouble.

She had listened at the door and heard crying, so she thought Chelsea was upset by Hugh again. However, what she saw inside took her by surprise.

Hugh was holding Chelsea close, his arms around her waist. He was not letting go. What shocked Lucy the most were Hugh's red eyes. It was clear he had been crying a lot...

Could it be that the crying she heard was not Chelsea's but Hugh's? When Chelsea noticed Lucy, she was about to say hello but then realized she and Hugh were still hugging.

Chelsea felt a little awkward for a moment, but her face showed a happy smile. "Lucy, you made it! Is all the food out yet?"

Lucy was totally confused. Why was everything so different from what she had expected?

It was supposed to be... either Hugh got caught cheating, with the lipstick mark on his shirt collar left by another woman to upset Chelsea, or the whole thing with Hugh was just a big misunderstanding and Chelsea had made up with him.

Even if it was supposed to be a happy ending, it did not make sense for Hugh to be the one crying in Chelsea's arms, did it? What in the world was happening? Lucy, frozen in shock, was waved over by Chelsea to come and sit down.

Lucy, still trying to piece together her thoughts, felt like her feet weighed a ton.

The whole thing was super awkward for Lucy, but Hugh? He acted like everything was normal. He continued to hug Chelsea and was leaning into her a little...

Hugh was always the cool, in-control guy. All this crying just did not fit his image. Lucy grabbed the chance when Chelsea was not glued to Hugh. With a pretty weak excuse, she got Chelsea out of the room.

Lucy had a hard-to-describe look on her face but went ahead and asked what she was dying to know.

"Chelsea, what's the deal with you and Hugh? He was crying, wasn't he?"

"You didn't fall for his crying act, did you?"

While they were both scratching their heads over what was going on with Hugh, a middle-aged man popped up at the door of their private dining room. Chelsea asked if he was looking for someone, and he said he needed to see Hugh.

The room's door swung open, and there was Hugh, sitting at the table like he was waiting for someone.

He was back to being the guy who always had a plan. It was like the guy who had just been sobbing in Chelsea's arms was someone else entirely.

Hugh did not wait for the man to speak. "Did you bring the person with you?" he asked.

Chelsea and Lucy did not have a clue what he was talking about.
