Eleanor Hollis was tense all over, but when she saw Hugo Quinn’s eyes were also red, she suddenly felt a sense of relief. However, she still didn’t speak, just remained silent as he held her.

Julian Sterling naturally sat aside, squinting slightly, as if what was happening between the two was unrelated to him. "Best Actor Sterling, would you like some tea?" She asked cautiously, observing his expression. Julian Sterling slowly opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Sorry to trouble you, I am indeed thirsty." Gloria quickly brewed a pot of tea and placed it on the coffee table. The room suddenly echoed with the sound of a cat’s meow, as a kitten crawled out of its nest, seemingly about to approach Hugo Quinn. Eleanor Hollis didn’t forget Hugo’s severe allergy to cat fur, so she quickly stood up and picked up the kitten. "There’s a cat in the house, you can’t stay here." She said lightly, but someone was holding her hand tight, as Hugo stared at her unblinkingly. "Then come with me, if you stay here tonight, I’ll stay here too." His tone was firm, not at all like he was joking. Eleanor Hollis furrowed her brows and then sighed. "If you stay here, you’ll have an allergic reaction." A house with cats is full of fur, by tomorrow morning he’d likely have to be sent to the hospital. Hugo Quinn slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice was soft. A sharp pain suddenly pierced Eleanor’s heart, her eyes reddened slightly, and she awkwardly averted her gaze. "Hugo Quinn, can you not do this..." When there was clearly no place for her in that home, why should she go back, just to be a laughingstock? "Come back with me, Eleanor." Hugo’s grip on her hand didn’t loosen a bit, instead becoming tighter and tighter. Eleanor Hollis slowly closed her eyes, this person was clearly using his body to threaten her, but she damnably feared this kind of threat. She said with difficulty, as she was pulled out the door, leaving Julian Sterling behind. At that moment, the room was left with only Julian Sterling and Gloria Galloway. Gloria became even more nervous; after all, she was alone in the room with Best Actor Sterling, and if anything else happened, that would be wonderful. Julian Sterling had large dark circles under his eyes. Seeing that the two had already left, he leaned back against the sofa. He called out softly, his voice weary. Gloria was still lost in the dream she had woven for herself when she suddenly heard him call her, and she jumped in fright, hurriedly pushing aside the colorful thoughts in her mind. "Best Actor Sterling, what is it?" "I’m going to rest here tonight, is there an extra bed?" He really didn’t want to go back; he was too tired. That beast Hugo seduced someone and left him here, exhausted. When Gloria said this, she felt completely weak, with no strength at all. "Best Actor Sterling, come with me." She said with difficulty, feeling hot all over. Julian Sterling got up and followed her to the guest room. The guest room was quite large and looked like the blankets were very comfortable. He yawned and laid down. "Sorry, I’m really too tired. Could you close the door?" He had fallen asleep even before he finished speaking. Gloria nodded, secretly wanting to stay a bit longer, but hearing the faint sound of his breathing in the room, she slowly turned around and closed the door. The moment she closed the door, a look of excitement suddenly flashed in her eyes. Was her idol really sleeping in her home? If she told anyone, would they really believe it?! Gloria took out her phone, wanting to show off in her group chat, but considered that since Julian Sterling was a public figure, if there were any paparazzi in the group, the news of him being alone with a woman would hit the headlines the next day. So although she was very excited, she restrained her emotions and slowly walked to the master bedroom next door, taking off her shoes and getting into bed. The master bedroom and the second bedroom were connected, with the two beds separated only by a wall. It was as if she and her idol were sleeping together. Thinking of this, Gloria felt delighted and couldn’t sleep. She reached out and placed her hand on the wall, not knowing why, but doing so made her feel even sweeter inside. Good night, Best Actor Sterling. She quietly said in her heart and then fell asleep. On the other side, Eleanor Hollis and Hugo Quinn had arrived at the doorstep of the house. Looking at the villa in front of her, she suddenly hesitated, afraid to see Jane Shaw inside, and also scared of seeing Chloe. "Eleanor, let’s go in." Hugo put his arm around her, his voice gentle. Eleanor Hollis stiffened all over; she didn’t know why she agreed to come back, only that she felt out of place. As soon as she opened the door, Marcus ran over and jumped into her arms. "Mommy, you didn’t abandon Dad and me, that’s wonderful!" He said excitedly, his body trembling slightly, clearly afraid that she wouldn’t come back. Eleanor’s heart softened, and she placed her hand on his head. "It’s so late, why aren’t you asleep?" Marcus lifted his smiling face, suddenly looking a bit aggrieved. "Mommy, how could I sleep when you left without a word? I was afraid you’d never come back." Hugo hadn’t expected Marcus to be awake. When he left, the child seemed to be sleeping soundly. Was he faking it? He sighed and placed a pair of slippers by Eleanor’s feet. Eleanor nodded, changed out of her shoes, and headed to the sofa. "Marcus, you have class tomorrow, go to bed now." She patted his shoulder as she spoke. Marcus obediently walked to the staircase, and halfway up, he turned back to look at her. "Mommy, don’t leave, especially while I’m asleep. If I wake up and can’t see you, I won’t go to school tomorrow." Eleanor found it amusing how both father and son were good at making threats. She glared at Hugo; he was clearly the one who raised this boy. Hugo looked quite pleased, but in a flash, he hugged her. He said hoarsely, his intention clear. Eleanor went stiff all over and shook her head. But Hugo picked her up in a princess carry, slowly heading upstairs. Hugo said firmly, kicking open the bedroom door and closing it with his foot. Eleanor was a bit angry. After what had happened, she wasn’t in the mood for intimacy at all.
