The Long Road to Love: The Capable CEO Dad-Chapter 557: What You Like, I Like Too

Once the shop owner left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That uncle really has a great memory. He still remembers things from so many years ago."

She saw Hugo Quinn already looking down and taking a bite, feeling a bit nervous.

"How is it? Is it good?"

Hugo Quinn nodded, his gaze gentle, "What you like, I like too."

Eleanor Hollis felt warmth in her heart instantly, rolling her eyes at him; this man indeed had become sly, now speaking sweet words so smoothly.

The two of them leisurely finished their meal. When they were paying the bill, the owner even charged them a few dollars less and kept advising them to live a good life.

"Let’s go back to the company."

Eleanor Hollis, holding Hugo Quinn’s hand, walked with a lighter step, letting him know that her past life was truly a blessed one.

Hugo Quinn’s steps came to a halt, and he looked around at the surroundings. The environment here was excellent and just his style.

Probably because Eleanor Hollis had studied here, he found this place particularly pleasing. Sometimes people are like that; they fall in love with a place because of someone, or maybe they stay in a city for someone.

"Eleanor, show me around."

He suddenly didn’t feel like returning to the company; after all, mundane business affairs were not as fun as this.

Obediently, Eleanor Hollis took him around, even introducing the surrounding scenery to him.

By the time they came out, it was already afternoon.

Hugo Quinn directly called Lan Yancy, canceling all the evening engagements.

Lan Yancy was a bit surprised, but upon hearing that Eleanor Hollis was over there, he wasn’t surprised at all, patting his chest and taking on all the work.

Hugo Quinn had put the phone on speaker, so Eleanor Hollis naturally heard it too, and couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Hugo Quinn.

"Don’t you think you should give Lan Yancy a raise?"

Hugo Quinn was taken aback. He had never considered this issue before, but hearing Eleanor Hollis say this now, he realized it.

"Double the salary from now on."

Lan Yancy was a bit excited and assured them he would definitely complete the tasks.

After Hugo Quinn hung up the call, he drove the car back home.

Along the way, Eleanor Hollis kept scolding him for forgetting to give Lan Yancy a raise.

"Mommy, Daddy, you’re back."

Marcus was running outside. His body had recovered exceptionally fast over the past few days, and his little face was rosy from running.

"There’s an uncle waiting for you inside, Daddy, you’d better go in quickly."

Hugo Quinn initially planned to relax with Eleanor Hollis tonight, but hearing Marcus say that, he was a bit helpless, assuming it was probably Xavier Crawford.

He walked inside, and sure enough, saw Xavier Crawford sitting on the sofa, appearing at ease; not like someone with urgent matters.

However, Xavier Crawford was always like that; no matter how urgent things were, he always appeared calm and composed.

"Those people will be here soon. You can’t protect your medical team. I advise you to send him away early. Now that you and Eleanor Hollis have stabilized, you have family and children you care about. Those people over there never consider the consequences. This time, they’re coming with determination. If you don’t handle it well, it might implicate your woman and child."

He had already asked his brother to find out about the situation over there. The pharmaceutical company is very keen on this medical team, and they aren’t planning to leave empty-handed, considering the number of people they dispatched this time.

"Between their power and Felix Ford’s overseas power, which is stronger?"

The Ford Family’s influence from the shadows is evident to all. Due to family matters, Hugo Quinn was careful not to get too deeply involved in underground affairs, but Felix Ford was different. He was born into this, and although everything had been washed clean with his help, at least his prestige was well known.

"Do you intend to ask Felix Ford to intervene?"

Xavier Crawford didn’t know about the transaction between Felix Ford and Hugo Quinn. In his perspective, Felix Ford was extremely difficult to deal with.

"If Felix Ford gets involved, it will make things much easier, but I heard that Felix Ford is already planning to make an appearance in Serenford. I doubt he wants to get involved again in these matters."

Hugo Quinn smiled and decided to call Felix Ford.

Felix Ford hadn’t appeared for a long time. After cleansing his business, he had become more relaxed and was recently thinking about how to show up in the public eye.

"You’re talking about them?"

He frowned. He had heard about the matters over there and looked down on their methods, but couldn’t deny that they had amassed considerable power through these disreputable means and had grown significantly, especially after collaborating with the Wexler Family, exhibiting very effective strategies.

"Hugo Quinn, you can’t let your medical team go. You know about the previous virus situation, right? If your medical team is taken by them, new issues will arise in the future. I can help you, but only a little. This matter is best handled in cooperation with the government, turning your medical team into state property, making those people hesitate to make a move on your territory."

Felix Ford’s idea was similar to Hugo Quinn’s—more of a last resort. No matter how aggressive those people are, they wouldn’t dare oppose a nation.

Quickly, he contacted higher-ups and personally communicated with the medical team, gaining their consent before signing a contract.

Although it was officially stated as state property, the people at the top understood that Hugo Quinn’s team merely bore the state’s name, though future research would benefit national development. So, this arrangement was mutually beneficial.

The people had just arrived in Serenford when Felix Ford and government officials had them arrested. They hadn’t even settled in when they were all escorted to jail.

Hugo Quinn felt a deep sense of relief; the upcoming trial was now the higher-ups’ responsibility, releasing him from concern.

"That’s about it, President. Do you think there’s any area that needs supplementing?"

Hugo Quinn was secretly planning the wedding process, hoping to surprise Eleanor Hollis, so everything was quietly underway, completely unbeknownst to her.

This was the plan he devised recently, but he still felt something was missing.

"Think it over again; something feels off. Also, leave a spot for Marcus. He’s been eager to prepare for the wedding for a long time, so let’s make him happy this time."

Lan Yancy nodded, genuinely happy to see the happiness in Hugo Quinn’s eyes.

Even though the entire event was being kept from Eleanor Hollis, Hugo Quinn still wanted to find out where she hoped to have the wedding.

Every time he asked her, she would still be contemplating.

Three more days passed, and Hugo Quinn finally couldn’t hold back, "Eleanor, haven’t decided yet?"

Eleanor Hollis was taken aback; she had mentioned several places before, but after checking online, she wasn’t entirely satisfied.

"How about we hold it at Quinton Manor? I think that place is quite suitable for a wedding."

Quinton Manor was big and spacious enough.

Over the years, few people had the privilege to visit Quinton Manor. Those able to connect with the Quinton Family were the elite among Serenford.
