Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 359

Nora frowned. Before she could decipher the meaning behind his gaze, Finnian had already looked away.

Her eyes drifted to Liana, who was practically glued to his arm.

Ever since they entered the private dining room, Liana hadn't let go of him. Meanwhile, Finnian's actual girlfriend trailed quietly behind them like an invisible ghost.

To be treated like a Living Blood Bank and still endure such humiliation—love really did make people blind.

Even as an outsider, it made Nora's blood boil.

She felt a mix of pity for the girl's misery and frustration at her utter lack of a spine.

"Alright, don't just stand there. Have a seat," Sebastian chimed in smoothly.

Once everyone settled around the table, he signaled the staff to start serving the food.

Jude sat across from Hudson, flashing a polished, diplomatic smile as he tried to defuse the simmering tension between the two rivals.

"Hudson, whatever happened between you and Finnian in the past was just a misunderstanding. Let's clear the air and move on."

Hudson leaned back in his chair, taking a slow sip from his glass. He didn't say a word.

Finnian matched his silence, leisurely taking a drink of his own water.

Neither man bothered to look at the other.

Jude offered a few more placating remarks, but seeing that both men were giving him the cold shoulder, he finally gave up.

Fine.

He washed his hands of it.

Let them tear each other apart for all he cared!

The atmosphere in the room grew suffocatingly heavy, though the two instigators didn't seem to notice—or care.

Coming from old money, Finnian had a refined palate and paid far more attention to his food than the average person.

He had to admit, Sebastian knew what he was doing.

The Argent Club wasn't just elegant; the culinary execution was flawless.

The man clearly wasn't just another trust-fund playboy who only knew how to party.

Just then, a bowl of Double-Boiled Medicinal Consommé made its way to him on the lazy Susan.
