Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love
Chapter 493

Hugh breathed in the scent he had missed all day long, the one he knew so well. He held her close, afraid she might slip away again.

However, his hug was so tight that Chelsea started to cry.

"Hugh, what are you doing? Let me go!" she cried out.

"I won't, not for anything," Hugh said, his voice firm. "You can't just leave me like that. Did you sneak away because you're mad at me? If you're upset, you should talk to me.

"I don't know what I did to make you leave without a word... I can't take this kind of punishment."

Chelsea bit her lip, still unable to talk about what was bothering her.

She looked at Hugh, wondering if his words were real or just a mask he wore. Was he really being honest with her?

"Hugh... I think we need a break. Can I stay with Lucy for a bit? You should head home. I just can't see you right now."

"No way. If I'm going home, you're coming with me."

The Eurovia trip ended so suddenly. Since Chelsea wanted some peace and quiet to think things over, he would help her replace it. However, Chelsea could not just walk away in silence, leaving him behind. "Chelsea, you have to come with me, or at least let me come with you. If not, I'll think you don't want me anymore, and I can't handle that."

Hugh... How could he say that? Who was the one pushing who away?

He already had someone new, so why did he bother coming all the way to Charleston to replace her? "Hugh, be honest with me. Is there someone else?"

Chelsea's voice echoed loudly in the empty room.

Hugh was stunned by Chelsea's accusation.

Someone else... When had he ever looked at another woman? His heart belonged only to Chelsea. Had she really gotten it all wrong?

"Chelsea, who told you such nonsense?"

"I didn't hear it from anyone; I saw it with my own eyes. Seeing is way more shocking than hearing. Don't you think, Hugh?"

Hugh quickly shook his head, not wanting to hear more.

He never did what she was accusing him of. His love for Chelsea was deep and true. Why did she get it so wrong?

Chelsea was steaming mad. One look at Hugh's clueless face and she knew he did not have a clue about his mistake.

"If you really want to clear the air, then let's get everything out in the open... When you got home from that party, you were so drunk I had to helpyou change. That's when I saw a lipstick smudge on your coffar. Whose was it?"

Hugh was baffled. A lipstick smudge on his collar? How? Chelsea added, "You're not going to tell me you kissed your own collar, are you?"

Hugh gently held Chelsea's arm,

trying to explain calmly, "Chelsea, you've got to believe me. It's not at all what you think. I didn't cheat on you. I was pretty tipsy that night, and the driver had to take me home.

QUMS

"Why don't we ask the driver what really happened and who I was with?"

Chelsea was starting to cool off. If Hugh had a witness, she should bear

them out to verify whether or not

Hugh was not lying. That was the only way she would trust him.
