Chapter 154 Running into Justin, Frederick is in Trouble!
Hugo's feelings for Frederick were naturally not as strong as for Dennis. He whispered, "But Mommy won't stay here. If you want to stay with Daddy, you can't always be with Mommy."
"Can't Mommy stay?"
"Probably not. What happened back then hurt her too much. She doesn't want to stay here anymore."
"What if Daddy realizes his mistake, apologizes, and even falls in love with Mommy?" Dennis asked hurriedly.
Hugo was silent for a moment and then said, "That would depend on Mommy. If she forgives him and falls in love with him, she will stay. But that's unlikely. He hurt her too deeply! And right now, he doesn't like Mommy. It's hard to make him apologize and admit his mistake."
Dennis quickly said, "That's because Daddy doesn't know that Mommy is the person he's been looking for. If he knew, he would immediately change his attitude towards her."
Hugo looked gentle, "We can't tell them the truth yet. If they knew, Frederick would definitely pursue Mommy aggressively. But he might not do it out of genuine love; it could be out of guilt for what happened back then.
Moreover, his aggressive pursuit might scare Mommy. Not only would she not stay, but she might also take us and leave immediately.
There's also a possibility that Mommy might stay with Frederick reluctantly, just to give us a complete family.
That's not what we want, and it's not what you want, right?
We all want Mommy to be happy, not to sacrifice herself for us."
Dennis nodded vigorously, uttering, "I also want Mommy to be happy and joyful."
"So it's best if they fall in love without knowing the truth. Genuine love, without any other factors involved.
Frederick doesn't need to feel guilty and responsible for what happened back then.
Mommy doesn't need to sacrifice herself for us to be with him.
They should love each other purely and genuinely, without any external factors. Only then can Mommy truly be happy, and Frederick, too. Do you understand, Dennis?"
Dennis nodded vigorously again, replying, "I understand."
"So we can't tell Frederick and Mommy what we know for now, got it?"
"Yeah!"
Seeing Dennis a bit sad, Hugo comforted him, "I know you're eager to tell Frederick the truth, but the time isn't right yet.
Even though Justin, Paul, and I don't like Frederick much because he hurt Mommy so deeply back then, if Mommy truly falls in love with him, the three of us can forgive him.
For your sake, I'll try to delay Mommy's departure from Teronica, giving her and Frederick more time together to see if they can develop feelings for each other.
If they can, that would be great. If not, I hope you won't have any regrets. After all, feelings can't be forced."
"Yeah! I'll try to make Daddy fall in love with Mommy quickly, and then make Daddy work hard to make Mommy fall in love with him too!" Dennis stated.
"Alright! Let's settle on it for now. You have to endure a bit and not reveal yourself to Mommy. Stay with Frederick for now. If there's an emergency, we'll contact each other by phone."
"Yeah."
Suddenly, Hugo's smartwatch rang.
It was Justin calling. Hugo answered, "Hey, are you done?"
"Hugo, I'm in trouble!" Justin's voice was anxious.
Hugo's brow furrowed as he inquired, "What happened?"
"Frederick found me!"
"What? Tell me in detail!"
"I just dealt with that stalker and sneaked into the amusement park to meet you guys. But I ran into Frederick! We bumped into each other, and I couldn't escape!"
Hugo was tense, asking, "Where are you now?"
"I'm in the restroom. Frederick is waiting for me outside."
"Weren't you wearing a mask? How did he recognize you?"
"I was wearing a mask, but he booked the whole place today. Dennis is the only kid in the amusement park. When he suddenly saw a child, he naturally thought it was Dennis! Then he took off my mask and was even more sure I was Dennis."
"So, he just thinks you're Dennis and hasn't discovered anything else?" Hugo questioned.
"Yeah!"
Hugo let out a sigh of relief, saying, "That's good!"
It's unfortunate, but at least the true identity wasn't exposed.
Hugo steadied himself and asked, "You and Dennis are wearing different clothes today. Didn't he suspect anything?"
"He asked, and I said I changed because playing in a suit was uncomfortable. He asked where the clothes came from, and I said I prepared them in advance. Then I rushed into the bathroom. What should I do now?"
Hugo thought for a moment, inquiring, "Is he still at the door?"
"Yeah! Not moving at all, like a professional bathroom guard! And this bathroom doesn't even have windows, so I can't escape!"
"Where's Mommy?"
"I don't know. I just ran into Frederick and didn't see Mommy."
"Not seeing Mommy is good. Frederick doesn't know about us. If he sees you, he might think Dennis has a split personality. But Mommy is different.
Mommy would know it's you at a glance. The clothes and shoes you're wearing were bought by Mommy! So you can't let Mommy see you!" Hugo stated.
"What should I do now?" Justin asked.
Hugo thought for a while, uttering, "Go with Frederick and say you don't want to play anymore and want to go home! Go home immediately! If he wants to find Mommy, don't let him. Say you can't stay a second longer and need to go home right away."
"What? You want me to pretend to be Dennis and go home with Frederick alone?"
"Yeah! That's the best option right now."
"But I get annoyed just thinking about him. Seeing him makes me angry. If I have to go home with him alone, I'm afraid I can't control myself and might hit him."
Hugo was silent.
Justin was straightforward and impulsive, clear about grudges, and loved fighting. He was best at solving problems with his fists!
Given how much he disliked Frederick, he might really get physical if they were alone. The scene could be quite intense!
But it was the best option right now!
Hugo could only say, "Try to control yourself. After all, he is your dad."
Justin unhappily asked, "Are you sure the paternity test wasn't wrong? Isn't his family supposed to have only one child per generation? How did he end up with four sons all of a sudden?"
Hugo said, "Don't doubt it. You and he are definitely father and son! Listen, go home with him for now. I'll think of another way. Under no circumstances must he become aware of our existence."
Justin reluctantly said, "Alright, I'll try to control myself."
After hanging up, Hugo sighed inwardly.
Tonight wouldn't be easy for Frederick. Running into Justin, Frederick was in for some trouble!
