Chapter 101

  The entire house was quiet and everyone just stares at us. Ben is just looking at him. I could see hope in Hugo's eyes and how he looks like he wants this so much. I know he doesn't want his own son to say no to him in front of everyone else here right now.

  He is trying.

  He is really trying.

  Ben finally nods.

  "Alright. Let's go grab that cake so you can slice it." I begin to say.

  Hugo quickly carries Ben on his arms and we march our way to the kitchen.

  "Anyone wants cakes and drinks as well?" I offer.

  "I'll slice them for us." Vivian chimes.

  Vivian happily rushes to the kitchen as well while I watch Hugo carry Ben peacefully. He sits on top of a chair while he place Ben on top of his lap, securing Ben with his long arms. I grab a few utensils exactly for everyone to use while Vivian is starting to get busy slicing the cake.

  "I'm glad Hugo finally knows the truth." Vivian blurts out.

  Hugo gazes at Vivian and I am just standing awkwardly.
