Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband? novel Chapter 155

"All you ever do is find ways to take my money!"

Mila couldn't stand to listen any longer and tried to shake him off.

Hugo, although a bit timid around strangers, feared Charlotte's disappointed gaze and harsh words even more. There was no way he was leaving empty-handed.

"Sis, I was wrong last time, I shouldn't have pushed you. But didn't you also hit me on the head? So we're even now!"

He pointed to his head, still wrapped in bandages, shouting defiantly.

Mila couldn't help but laugh at his audacity. "How much strength do you think I have? Come on, let me take a look."

She reached out to pull at Hugo's bandages, but he dodged, retreating towards the bed where a child was sitting.

The child instinctively shrank back.

"Stop right there!" Mila's voice was sharp.

Years of authority and memory made Hugo involuntarily freeze in his tracks.

"Get over here!"

She called him to a corner away from the child and motioned for Eugene to comfort the little one. With a steely gaze, she fixed her eyes on Hugo.

Hugo avoided her eyes and mumbled, "Sis, it's about the dowry money again. Just help me out this one time. I know ten thousand dollars is a bit much, but you and your husband aren't strapped for cash. I'm your brother, after all. I'll pay you back when I make some money."

"Not a chance," Mila replied coldly.

Expect Hugo to make money and pay her back? She might as well expect pigs to fly!

Asking for money in front of others only to be rejected left Hugo flushed with embarrassment.

He grew desperate, "Sis! Just help me this once. Charlotte is already pregnant with my child. Once we're married, I promise I won't bother you again."

Mila was at a loss for words dealing with this fool blinded by love.
