Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 224

Grant shot him a glare. "Excuse you?"

Jude's gaze drifted past Hudson and landed on Nora.

"And this is?"

Hudson naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer against him.

"My wife, Nora."

Nora's heart skipped a beat.

Nora.

Not Jade.

It was the first time he had used her real name in front of an outsider.

"Jude Winslow." Jude extended a hand toward her with a warm smile. "Hudson's college friend."

Nora reached out and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you."

Jude's eyes lingered on her face for a fraction of a second before he smoothly turned back to Hudson. "You're a lucky guy."

Hudson smirked. "Yeah. My wife is pretty incredible."

Nora's ears flushed hot as she shot him a covert glare.

Watching their little exchange, Jude let out a soft chuckle.

Hudson kept his arm securely around Nora, his smirk lingering. "I heard you got promoted again last month?"

Jude waved it off. "It's an empty title. Nothing worth mentioning. I heard your chip project had a major breakthrough, though."

Hudson raised an eyebrow. "You're well-informed."

"Not well-informed. Just paying attention."

Jude smiled, and it was the kind of warm, gentle expression that made people feel instantly at ease. "If your project succeeds, it's going to completely reshape the landscape of the domestic tech industry."

Hudson didn't reply, but his smile widened slightly.

"By the way, we just released a batch of deer, wild boars, and a few foxes into the preserve this weekend. Hunt whatever you want."

Jude pulled a sleek black card from his pocket and handed it to Hudson.
