Super Cutie Adopted 273
Chapter 274
Gabriel didn’t know that his brother thought of him this way
That evening, he rearranged his schedule to collect Hudson from school, not noticing the girl who always watched him.
Gabriel assumed her family had picked her up.
When his brother first started school, the girl would stare blankly at Gabriel while he came to pick Hudson up.
Gabriel would playfully wink and tease the girl until she turned away in embarrassment. Only then, satisfied, would he leave with Hudson in his arms.
Gabriel found the girl’s embarrassment amusing, though he knew it was a bit mean.
As an adult, he often felt pressured to pretend for others, so he felt a special connection with this innocent child.
On their way back, Hudson remembered what Yvonne and Anna had said in class, and curiosity prompted him to ask his brother about it
“Gabriel, my friends told me people who are good with knives are usually good cooks. Why isn’t your cooking very good?” asked Hudson.
Gabriel hesitated, his eyes flickering with unspoken emotion as they passed over Hudson’s innocent face. Finally, he settled
on a smile.
“Maybe I’m just not talented,” he said casually.
Hudson didn’t pursue the matter further.
Back home, Hudson reluctantly retrieved the grapes Yvonne had given him from his backpack.
As expected, Gabriel cut them up and threw them into the pot.
After dinner, Hudson bathed and settled into bed. A few minutes later, Gabriel opened the door to tell him he was going out
Hudson was not surprised; Gabriel often went out in the middle of the night.
But Hudson remembered Gabriel had just said that very morning that his work was finished and he could take a well- deserved break
He was curious why Gabriel suddenly had more work.
Unable to figure it out, Hudson decided to stop puzzling over it.
That day in Strate City, two significant events occurred. The always took precedence.
first one was related to Tinley, and matters concerning her
People who saw her at the school gate that afternoon were so excited that they went back and told everyone
It was truly shocking, Rumors had circulated about Tinley’s declining health and fading beauty, with some even whispering that she didn’t have long to live.
What they saw at noon today proved the rumors
s were false.
Thus, they could only conclude that Tinley’s recovery was due to the emotional healing she experienced after finding her

daughter.
However, even so, her recovery was unbelievable.
While people who saw Tinley every day didn’t share this view, those who only saw her occasionally felt like she had completely dunged.
Yvonne’s classmates were captivated by Timley’s beauty and excitedly told their parents all about her. Those whose parents hadn’t picked them up from school that afternoon were envious
They decided to take their children to school themselves from then on.
Tinley loved her daughter so much that everyone assumed she wouldn’t have sent her to school only once.
They would be satisfied if they could see her.
There were too many curious people, and people all loved beautiful women. After that noon, Tinley came a few more times. People watched her from a distance, their feelings a mixture of awe and curiosity, but no one dared to approach.
After that, she became increasingly visible at events, as though she had gone back to her pre–motherhood life.
However, despite their exceptionally close relationship with the Adler family, the Holmes family maintained a much lower profile than they had in the past.
People in the circle had mixed feelings, and those who had taken advantage of their vulnerable position felt particularly remorseful.
The second event was about the Jones family.
One night at dinner, the bodyguard at the door delivered an envelope to Carlson, the head of the Jones family
The envelope had been opened and checked. Only after making sure there was nothing wrong with it did he dare to hand it to Carlson.
Carlson set down his spoon and looked up. The bodyguard’s face was drained of color, as though he had witnessed something horrifying
A surge of unease gripped Carlson, prompting him to rip open the thick envelope. Several photos lay inside. Overcome with rage after seeing the photos, Carlson’s vision blurred, and his hand shook as he gripped them. Seeing this, his wife hurried over to help him up, and she also saw the contents of the photos.
Shocked, she turned to her daughter, who was calling the doctor, and exclaimed, “What have you done?”
The photos, all high–definition and taken from various angles, clearly showed Hope’s face as she hugged and kissed Hope froze, stunned, as she walked over and saw the photos..
After regaining her composure, she quickly clarified, “No, it’s all just camera tricks! I have nothing to do with him!”
The serious, quiet looks on her parents‘ faces nearly made her cry
h that man
She didn’t do anything with that man
The most affectionate gesture she’d displayed was a hug: any photos that appeared to show kisses were merely clever photography, creating an illusion of intimacy.
Hope was smart When she saw these obviously carefully taken photos, she realized she had been set up.
