Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 174

"What about Archer? Any news lately?"

At the mention of his twin brother, Arthur's lips twitched upward, showing a rare hint of a smile. "He just complained to me on the phone yesterday. He said Jade keeps trying to sleep with him, and he's fighting for his life to protect his virtue..."

A faint smirk touched Hudson's lips.

Arthur subconsciously checked the rearview mirror. Seeing that his boss was in a decent mood, he carefully chose his words. "Boss, Archer asked me to find out when he can come back..."

"End of the month, after the wedding."

Arthur's eyes lit up. "That's soon, just one week left."

Hudson didn't reply, but the slight curve of his lips lingered for a fleeting moment before vanishing.

...

Meanwhile, at Star Tower.

Edmond Sterling rushed straight to the company headquarters the moment he got off the plane.

But when he arrived, he found out that Nora hadn't come to work today.

His expression was thunderous as he walked out of the building. The sun was scorching, making his vision go dark for a moment.

Ferris Quinn hurried after him, holding an umbrella over his head.

"Mr. Sterling, let's head to the hotel first. Standing out in this heat is going to give you heatstroke."

Edmond didn't move, his face only growing darker.

Watching him, Ferris felt a knot of frustration in his chest.

During the three-hour flight from Northampton to San Francisco, Edmond hadn't spoken a single word.

Sitting next to him, Ferris hadn't even dared to breathe too loudly.

He didn't know how to advise him anymore.

Or rather, he didn't know if he even should.

"Let's go," Edmond finally said, his voice terribly hoarse.

Ferris let out a breath of relief and quickly followed.

But Edmond walked straight to the driver's side of the car and got in.

"Mr. Sterling? Are you driving? Where are we going?"

"Azure Bay," Edmond snapped his seatbelt into place and gave the location.

Ferris froze, his face changing as he realized where that was.

Cloudwater Estate.
