Chapter 156 Julius’s Affair?

The whole night passed swiftly. Hugo was already wide awake even if it was just early in the morning. He glanced over to the side and saw that both Jimon and Hendrix, who were sleeping on the ground were still deep asleep.

He looked at the clock that was hung up on the wall and saw that it was still very early. 'I didn't know that I could wake up at 6 am,' he amusingly said to himself. He carefully stood up and changed his clothes.

He planned to do some morning walk and tour around the neighborhood this early. The last time that he had been here was a few days ago and he had to leave immediately because of Hendrix. Now that he was assured, he could freely use his time to go around.

Hugo took his new phone and his wallet with him in case he wanted to buy something. He ate some bread first before going out. Since everyone was still asleep, no one noticed Hugo getting out.

He walked around freely.

He was feeling happy as he stared around his surroundings. There were a few people doing their morning jogs as well.

Hugo was silent all the time. He was just mesmerized by how huge the houses he was passing by. He met an elderly woman on the side of the street.

"You are the new one, right?" The elderly woman asked Hugo.

"Yes, Maam," Hugo answered respectfully. He scratched the back of his head. He didn't know what happened and why was he having a conversation with the people around him.

He was just helping the elderly woman cross the street when she suddenly talks to him. It would be better if he could just leave alone, but now, it seems like the woman will most likely talk to him for a few minutes.

"Call me Auntie Freya. Most people in this neighborhood, call me that way." The old woman laughed as she looked at Hugo.

"Alright, Auntie Freya." Hugo awkwardly smiled as he say it.

"Well, anyway, thank you for helping me. You should go now, it seems like I am already taking too much of your time." Freya uttered as she nodded her head to tell Hugo that she could go already.

Hugo waved his hands. He started walking away and when he was meters away from Freya, a loud sigh of relief escaped from his lips.

It was really awkward talking to people that he had just first met.

Hugo looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that an hour had already passed. 'I should go back now, I have been walking around for so long. It will take me another 30 minutes to come back." Hugo uttered to himself.

He passed by a small stall on the side that was selling some freshly baked bread. Deciding to buy some, he went inside and looked at the freshly baked goodies that were displayed.

'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',

He bought some pieces of bread that would last them until tomorrow. While he was waiting for the baker to finish packing all the things that he pointed out, he took a seat first and ordered some hot chocolate.

There was a television inside the shop for bored customers like Hugo. Instead of wasting his time, he decided to listen to the news that was being aired.

[Breaking News! Julius Achre and Noah Willington had gained consciousness already. This information came from their family. Their family wishes that people would still pray for their well-being and that the truth may serve as well as justice.]

Hearing about the news, Hugo couldn't help but chuckle. It was funny to think how those two families were talking about justice, when they, personally have done the worst thing.

"Are you interested in them too, young man?" The baker who has been watching Hugo silently on the side asked.

"Well, It's just that their story was very interesting," Hugo uttered as his eyes turned back to the television. After the news anchor said the news, they flashed different pictures of Noah and Julius in the hospital together with their family.

The baker looked at Hugo for a couple of minutes. "Did you know that he one time went into this place?" the man asked as he looked at the television.

Hugo's forehead creased. "And so?" he asked, since he does not know the context of why the baker told him that thing.

"It was said that Julius was having an affair in this place…" the baker warily announced.

Hugo's eyes widened after hearing it. "What do you mean?"

"He was seen in this location multiple times with a woman. Although no one knows who she was since her face was always covered with a white scarf." The baker continued at the same time, he was done packing.

"Here is your order, Sir. I hope you come back next time." He smiled as he gave Hugo his bread.

Hugo nodded as he finished his chocolate drink. He stood up and left the bakery aterward.

"So… what are we going to do now?" Natalie's brows shot up as she remembered what Jimon had uttered yesterday. Now that Julius was wide awake, then they could abduct him and make him suffer just like what he did to them!

Hendrix shrugged his shoulders. "The only person that could really have a say on that matter is Hugo." He uttered, as he couldn't interfere with their plans. The only thing that he could do was support and help Hugo whenever he needs it.

Natalie pouted as she nodded her head. She glanced over to Alliyah, who has been quiet the whole time. "Are you still feeling bad?" she asked when she saw that her mood was still gloomy.

Alliyah shook her head. "Nope. I'm just feeling sleepy." She uttered as she yawned.

The four of them were all at the dining table. Since Jimon was the only person who could cook, among all of them, he had no choice but to take in charge of the kitchen now that Hugo has been missing.

"Where is Hugo, by the way?" Alliyah asked, since it was odd for him to be away at this hour. "It's just 8 in the morning," she ducked down and placed her head on top of the table.

'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',

"He's probably just wandering around. I knew for sure that he will be back already after a few minutes." He answered, as he could feel Hugo's presence getting nearer.

"Can someone help me here?" Jimon's loud voice caught their attention. Both Natalie and Alliyah instantly stood up to go inside the kitchen. In there they saw a few plates of food lined up.

There were eggs, sausages, some grilled tomatoes, and many more that would satisfy their stomach this early.

They helped Jimon in taking out the food, and placing them on the table. Hendrix does not know whether he should help or not, but when he saw that everyone was moving, he decided to give them a hand.

Hendrix helped Natalie in placing clean plates on the table. While Alliyah made some juice and Jimon takes care of the hot food.

Hugo's eyes widened as he entered the apartment once again.

"Wow!" He exclaimed when he saw that all of them were wide awake already. He didn't expect that they would wake up in the morning. He thought that they will probably be awake near the afternoon or past that.

Hugo placed the plastic of baked goods that he had bought on the table. When Jimon saw it, he took them out and placed them cleanly in a large bowl.

Jimon, being the eldest among all of them, acted as if he was the father of the family. It must be because he was so lonely all his life that he could only take care of people now, as if they were his own kids.

Hugo sat on the end chair. After a few minutes, all of them were already sitting in their respective seats.

He cleared his throat as he looked around. He could feel their stares as if it was piercing through his soul.

'I know that it was still early to talk about things, but what do you want to do now that Julius was wide awake already?" Hugo asked as he glanced over at Alliyah, who was at his side.

Alliyah was shocked when Hugo's eyes turned to her. She was speechless for a moment before she could think of what to say.

"I want to know what happen to my brother… and I want to take revenge for what he has done to me." Alliyah spat bitterly. Her fist clenched under the table after saying what she felt.

"What about you Natalie?" Hugo's eyes turned to Natalie, who was beside Alliyah.

Natalie bowed her head as she sighed. "Just like Alliyah, I wanted them to experience what I experienced too." She uttered breathlessly.

Hugo's eyes moved towards Jimon who was on the other side. "And you?"

Jimon smiled. "I just want to perform my duty and be loyal to you. Whatever you want to do, then that will be what I want to." He uttered as his smile became wider.
