Broken Ch 19
Chapter 19 Clearly moved.
From the angle of the photo, it was undoubtedly intimate.
Hugo Hodges tried to help Tiana Young up, but she seemed to have passed out in his arms and couldn’t
stand.
“Hugo, I can’t anymore…” she said, leaning against his chest.
“Tiana, Tiana,” Hugo called her name a couple of times, but seeing that she didn’t respond, he reluctantly picked her up, opened the car door, and placed her inside.
Then he drove off.
As he left, the car following them quickly tailed behind.
Inside Tiana Young’s apartment.
Hugo Hodges opened the door with her fingerprint. Having been here before, he knew his way around.
After carrying her into the bedroom, Hugo prepared to leave.
“No, no, get away, let me go!” Tiana suddenly shouted.
Hugo turned back to see Tiana flailing her arms in bed, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.
He immediately went over and held her hands down. “Tiana, Tiana, it’s okay, you’re safe now, you’re at your
place.”
After a while of comforting, Tiana Young finally opened her teary eyes. “Hugo,” she said, and hugged him
tightly.
“I’m so scared, I’m so scared,” she sobbed, clinging to Hugo Hodges.
Hugo Hodges patted her back. “It’s okay, everything’s alright now.”

After an unknown amount of time, seeing that she had stopped crying, Hugo Hodges gently removed her
arms from around his neck.
“Tiana, you should rest. You don’t have to go to work tomorrow. Take a few days off at home,” Hugo Hodges
said.
Tiana Young didn’t speak, just looked at him with a pitiful expression.
“It’s getting late, I should go,” he said.
But Tiana Young grabbed his hand, looking weak and scared. “Hugo, can you stay here with me? I’m really
scared…”
“Or, you can leave after I fall asleep, otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep,” she said.
Hugo Hodges nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait outside and keep watch.”
Tiana Young nodded.
“Rest early.” After settling her in, Hugo Hodges got up and left the room.
Tiana Young knew that if Hugo Hodges had promised her something, he would definitely keep his word.
As the door closed, her previously pitiful eyes instantly turned clear and determined.
Hugo.
No matter what it takes, I will make you stay by my side.
It was early morning when Tiana Young finally emerged from the room.
After freshening up, she changed into a comfortable silk pajama set, looking relaxed and gentle.
Hugo Hodges was curled up on the sofa, his eyes closed as if he were asleep.

She grabbed a blanket and quietly walked over, intending to cover him.
But as her hand touched him, Hugo Hodges suddenly opened his eyes.
“Oh, you’re awake?” Tiana Young asked, looking at him.
At such a close distance, she carried a unique fragrance, and Hugo Hodges felt a sudden flutter in his heart.
“Yeah,” he responded with a hoarse voice, his gaze shifting away from her.
“Did I wake you? I saw you were asleep and was afraid you’d get cold, so I wanted to put a blanket over you,”
Tiana Young said.
“No need…” Hugo Hodges started to get up, but Tiana Young, as if losing her balance, fell directly into his
arms.
The sweet fragrance filled the air, and Hugo Hodges felt something intoxicating take over him.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Tiana Young said, but she made no move to get off him.
Their eyes met, and Hugo’s gaze changed.
“Hugo, what’s wrong?” Tiana asked softly in his ear.
Hugo didn’t say anything, just kept looking at her.
Tiana’s heart suddenly raced. Over the years, her desire for Hugo had grown deeper and deeper, and she
wished she could become his woman right now.
Reaching out to touch his face, Tiana brought her lips closer to his, little by little. “Hugo, I can…”
Suddenly, the image of Scarlett Adler’s sarcastic and indifferent face flashed in his mind.
Hugo immediately turned his face away, and Tiana’s kiss missed his lips.
“Hugo, what’s wrong?” Tiana asked.

“It’s getting late, I should go.” With that, Hugo helped Tiana up.
He pushed her gently and said, “Rest for a couple more days. There’s no need to rush back to work.” He got
up, didn’t wait for her to say anything, opened the door, and left.
As the door closed, Tiana Young felt a mix of disappointment and resentment.
He had clearly shown desire, and she had been so forward, yet he managed to restrain himself.
She grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa and hurled it across the room.
Hugo Hodges came downstairs, and a gust of wind cleared his head.
He thought about the intimate moments he had shared with Tiana Young, and how he had felt out of control.
Strangely, at the most crucial moment, Scarlett Adler’s face had flashed in his mind.
Indeed, that woman had become a nightmare in his heart, always there to warn him.
Without dwelling on it, Hugo Hodges got in his car and drove away.
By the time Hugo Hodges had showered and changed, news of him and Tiana Young kissing passionately in
the street and spending the night together had spread like wildfire.
Hugo Hodges listened to his assistant on the phone and looked at the news online, his brow furrowing
slightly.
“Boss, did you really… spend the night with Ms. Young yesterday?”
“Did you call just to gossip?” Hugo Hodges retorted coldly.
After so many years of rumors, Hugo Hodges didn’t take them seriously.
“No, no, I just wanted to remind you about today’s meeting time. I’ve already sent it to your phone.”
Hugo Hodges glanced at his phone and hung up immediately.
Looking at the news, Hugo Hodges’s deep eyes revealed a hint of unfathomable light.
First Adler stared blankly at his phone.
Second Adler walked over and sat beside him. “What are you so engrossed in so early?”
First Adler handed him the phone directly.
Looking at the news on the phone, Second Adler couldn’t say anything for a while. “This… he’s so rich?”
“So, he’s getting married?” Second Adler asked.
“Take a look at the scandals he’s been involved in over the years.”
Second Adler took the phone and did a quick search. It was just that Hugo Hodges was too famous, even more outstanding in appearance than celebrities. Even though he never appeared in public, any slight
movement would attract public attention.
After looking through everything, Hugo Hodges had a lot of past scandals, but in recent years, there’s only been one woman, Tiana Young.
“It seems like this woman is important to him. Besides her, there haven’t been any recent scandals. If he really is our dad, does that mean we’re about to have a stepmother?” Second Adler asked.
