Chapter 143

  My tears quickly rolled over my cheeks and I hurriedly wiped it with my thumb.

  "Zachary, Leon, Ned and I will always be here for both of you." Hugo mutters.

  I smiled sheepishly.

  "Oh and Landon?" Hugo calls his attention.

  "Yes Hugo?" Landon answers.

  Hugo sets his eyes on Landon, "If I was you, I'd never let her go."

  My heart leaps.

  "She's the kind of rose that I would want to see first thing in the morning in my garden. Always blooming and beautiful. You're damn lucky to have her and she's lucky to have you too." He adds.

  My tears were uncontrollably filling my eyes.

  "Congratulations once again." Hugo smiles and everyone began clapping.

  Don't fall.

  Tears, don't fail me now.

  Don't fall.

  Please.

  But I failed. They're creeping out from the corners of my eyes.

  Damn it Hugo Saintclare.

  Suddenly, from the corner of my eyes I noticed that someone handed Landon a microphone and he quickly got it with his hands.
