No Way Back

Chapter 277

Life felt that the current Hugh was even more intimidating than the one with a darkened face shrouded in darkne

Then, he left silently.

“Oh, my God!

“I can’t imagine how surprised other colleagues staying long with Mr. Croft will be if they see that expression on his face.

“They will probably be even more shocked than I am now

“It was so scary” Life muttered in his mind.

At this moment.

Hugh’s voice came.

“Life”

“I’m here!”

Life trotted back to Hugh, thinking that Hugh had recognized his escape “Boss, I’m here to report to you the follow up of Raymond and the others…”

“It doesn’t matter now!”

“What?”

Dumbfounded, Life thought.

He had worked for Hugh for so long.

This was the first time he had heard these words….

It was unbelievable that Hugh would say that work was not important!

“Contact the flower seller who sells Juliet roses and let him send a hundred Juliet roses over by air as soon as possible.”

“You don’t need to consider the price. I have to use the roses tonight!”

Juliet roses?

That type of rose was regarded as the king of roses.

As a classic cut rose, it was stunning and elegant, light but passionate.

The price was even more terrifying!

Three million!

Not dollars.

300 million pounds!

For Hugh, this small fortune was nothing important

The most shocking thing was…

The fact that Hugh wanted to buy roses….

For those who were familiar with Hugh, it was no different from a comet hitting the Earth.

Unlike Connor and Robert who had known Hugh’s deep affection for Jane, Life had no idea of it

Now, Life truly felt….

A huge change would happen to the Croft family!

The night closed in.

Life ***Hugh to Jane’s.

For this meal, Hugh even dressed up meticulously.

He changed into a casual dark green shirt and suit pants

And he wore a pair of casual high-tops.

Coupled with his strikingly handsome and noble face. His cold and thin lips were compressed slightly, making him look roauish but charming.

And a bouquet of newly picked Juliet roses was held in his hand.

No woman would like to push such an enchanting and outstanding man with the most beautiful roses worth three million pounds in his hand.

But…

Life felt strange to see that his cold and ***boss spared no effort to please a woman.

Life just could not believe it.

“Life, how do I look now?”

“Hmm… Huh?”

Life was sunk in thought.

He stared at Hugh with a dumbfounded expression.

“I asked you do I look good now?”

Hugh’s voice turned colder.

Life muttered, “Yes… pretty handsome…”

Life had never seen a man who looked better than Hugh.

It was not flattery.

Life really thought so.

How could such a confident man become so unsure of himself now…

“Okay” replied Hugh.

Hugh then took a deep breath.

And he got out of the car with the roses.

Life was left alone.

Unknowingly, he was already drenched in a cold sweat.

As if having lost all his strength, he sat paralyzed in his seat.

Jane received Hugh’s message.

And she jogged over to answer the door for Hugh.

What greeted her eyes was the bouquet of fragrant roses.

And next to the roses was the handsome Hugh.

Jane’s face broke into a smile and she took the roses without hesitation.

“Mr. Croft is quite gentlemanly. Juliet roses are not available in Crucsia now. You must have spent heavily on them, right?”

“Janie, as long as you like them, money does not matter at all.”

“You’re such a sweet talker. Well, come in and have a seat. Dinner is ready soon.”

Jane then held the bouquet of roses carefully and placed it gently on the sofa in the living room,

She hummed a little merry tune and ran to the kitchen to continue preparing the meal.

Hugh could smell a strong flavor as he made his way to the living room.

He quietly swallowed.

And he could even hear his stomach rumble.

He was indeed a little hungry.

Hugh had undergone special training before and had extraordinary self-control.

Obviously, Jane was really an excellent cook.

Or rather…

The delicacy was personally cooked by Hugh’s beloved woman for him.

Therefore, it would definitely be the most perfect and delicious food in the world.

No other food could be compared to it.

He watched as Jane was busy cooking in the kitchen with an apron.

His eyes were filled with tenderness.

And he felt for the first time…

Such “simple” happiness.

It was the scene that Hugh had yearned for all the time since he had an idea of what wonderful life was like.

The flavor of the food and the woman he loved waiting for him to return home after work. They would share what had happened that day and their plans for the next day.

Jane was spooning the soup in the kitchen.

She could feel a gentle gaze fixed on her.

In the end, she served the soup, took off her rubber gloves, and rolled her eyes at Hugh.

“Don’t look at me like that. You’re making me sloppy.

“Look, it’s five minutes later than the scheduled time. My plan is upset Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“I’m sorry… Janie, it’s really you… make my eyes glued to you.”

It was rare for Hugh to be more nervous. Afraid that Jane would be annoyed, he quickly explained.

His answer was so sincere and straightforward.

“Ahem! Ahem! I know I’m beautiful, but you don’t have to be so straightforward. I don’t even know how to respond.”

Jane stole a look at Hugh with a grimace

“It’s not just that… Janie, you know my past.

“Ever since I was young, even with Grandma by my side, I’ve never felt the warmth of a family of three.

“My mother died of dystocia when giving birth to me. My father was prostrated by my ***death. Although he did not abuse me, he blamed me for my ***death like everyone else.”

“It’s the first time that someone important to me personally cooks four dishes and a soup for me while I wait quietly nearby.”

Jane didn’t know how to reply.

She gazed at Hugh’s self-deprecating expression.

And she sighed quietly.

Several seconds later, she spooned a bowl of soup for Hugh.

“Try it. I bought the crucian carp and tofu from the market this morning and made this soup. I’m looking forward to your evaluation.”

“Got it,” replied Hugh.

Hugh also realized it was the wrong time to mention such a heavy topic at this enjoyable moment.

After taking a sip of the soup, Hugh raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“It’s weird… Why…”

“Isn’t it delicious? Have you found the flavor of soup?”

Hugh nodded. “Looks like you expected this. Janie, how did you make it?”

Although Hugh recovered a bit of his sense of taste, it was only slightly better than when he had suffered the side effects of Type Omega blood before having met Jane.

At least he could slightly feel the flavor of food now

But why….

Hugh could not completely sense the taste of the food made by Jane.

But it reached 85%!

Jane answered excitedly. “Didn’t I ask you for the scientific recipe of Type Omega blood people you made? I extracted some ingredients myself and added them to the food.

“You could only eat that black thing when you completely lost your sense of taste. Now that your taste has recovered by 10%, the ingredients should be effective for you.

“Ljust want to have a try. I didn’t expect it to succeed! Hooray!
