Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 250

The hallway was now completely empty.

"Nothing..."

Nora shook her head. She just had a bad feeling about the way Jade had looked at her.

For the past decade, whenever Jade was plotting to ruin her life, she always wore that exact expression.

"Are you tired? It was a four-hour flight. I'll have Arthur take you back to Cloudwater Estate to rest."

"No, I'm not tired..."

Before Nora could finish her sentence, Hudson chuckled and playfully tapped the tip of her nose. "Can't you tell I'm trying to get you out of the crossfire?"

"..."

"My grandmother clearly knows about the substitute bride situation. She's bound to throw a fit. If you stay here, you're just going to get caught in the blast radius."

Nora gave him a helpless, amused look. "And I won't get caught in it if I go home?"

Hudson leaned in, his tone smooth and persuasive. "Do you know the secret to a perfect relationship with your in-laws?"

Nora shook her head.

"What is it?"

"No matter what goes wrong, the husband stands in front of the wife."

A rush of warmth flooded Nora's chest. She completely understood his intention.

"But..."

"It's fine. Trust me, my grandmother adores me. Having you here will only throw me off my game."

"Really?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"Well... um..."

As Nora wracked her brain for an excuse to stay, Hudson leaned down, his voice dropping to a seductive murmur meant only for her ears. "If you really care about me, go home and wait for me like a good girl. I bought some gorgeous lingerie. Pick one out and wear it for me tonight..."
