Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 336

Hudson didn't press the issue. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Come on, let's get you something to eat."

Perhaps channeling her sorrow into an appetite worked, because after finishing a few small pastries, Nora surprisingly felt her sadness begin to lift.

At the very least, she wasn't agonizing over her mother the way she always used to.

It seemed that after being hurt so many times, she had actually built up an immunity.

"Feeling a bit better?"

"Mhm," Nora mumbled in agreement, popping another bite of strawberry shortcake into her mouth.

Hudson reached out and wiped a smudge of frosting from the corner of her lips. His thumb lingered for a second as his deep voice rumbled, "Want to hear some gossip?"

At the mention of gossip, Nora's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.

"Do you know what the Latin tattoo on Grant's collarbone means?"

Nora blinked, instinctively glancing toward the other side of the ballroom.

Grant was currently holding a drink, chatting up some older guests. He was dressed in his usual flashy style—no shirt underneath a wide-open blazer, leaving the tattoo on his collarbone boldly on display.

She had always been curious about what the text meant, but she felt it would be too abrupt to ask him directly.

"What does it mean?"

Hudson's lips curved slightly, and he lowered his voice. "Grant used to be huge into the motorcycle scene a few years back. With his looks and status, women were constantly throwing themselves at him. Some even tried getting him blackout drunk and bringing him home to force a relationship."

"Every time, he'd have his driver take them home. Afterward, he would claim he was giving them a parting gift to express his gratitude—and then hand them a bottle of Sunny Boy Milk."

Nora froze for a second before bursting into laughter.

"Sunny Boy Milk?"
