Hugo changed, that was for sure, but there were things and habits he hadn't quit. For example, he didn't mind my presence as they talked about important things. Although Azazel hinted at Hugo, the latter explained he trusted me more than him.
Azazel didn't argue, since the two of them were in the same boat. If for a stupid reason, I leaked the important information they were spewing right now, the two of them would go down together. As if I would do that to Hugo. I would rather get my tongue cut out than purposely put my husband in danger.
"I see." Hugo rocked his head in understanding with his lips curved down slightly. "So that's how the Hendrik Empire reacted, huh?"
He snapped his eyes ever so tenderly, gazing at Azazel. "Will you be alright?"
"Are you, perhaps, worried about me?" Azazel inquired with an amused smirk on his face. "That is quite moving."
