Chapter 124 – You Need to Apologize
The young man who received such deference from the director of the Artist Alliance...
Was none other than John.
But as soon as Hugh noticed eyes on them, he quickly withdrew the arm draped around John's shoulder and returned to his usual solemn demeanor—frowning slightly, nodding seriously, like he was discussing national policy.
In reality?
They were arguing over where to eat dinner.
"I know a new seafood place nearby," said Alton, the head of the Wood family. "The food's pretty good. Let's go there."
Hugh immediately shook his head. "Too much seafood isn't good for your health. We should eat something milder—like at the Royal Garden Hotel."
Alton rolled his eyes. "It's not like we eat seafood every day. Come on, live a little! What are you afraid of—gout?"
He smirked, then added, "Even if you do get gout, Dr. John here will fix you up in no time."
Hugh insisted, "I still prefer something simple tonight."
"Seafood is simple. And it's delicious."
