Hudson let out a noncommittal hum, staying silent.
Seeing his expression, Nora knew his anger had mostly dissipated, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had experienced Hudson's obsessive possessiveness firsthand.
Because of that, the most crucial part of this plan had been keeping him in the dark.
From the very beginning, her strategy with Jude had been a complete cover-up. Thankfully, Jude was tight-lipped. Even with news of the engagement flying everywhere, not a single person had discovered the true identity of his so-called 'fiancée.'
"Alright, you need to go back now. Elias will be returning soon, and if he sees you here, this whole act will be for nothing!"
Nora hurriedly pushed Hudson toward the door.
Hudson let himself be pushed for a few steps before suddenly stopping. "Darling..."
"Hmm?"
"You don't need to hide things like this from me in the future..."
"..."
Nora blinked in confusion. Did he seriously not understand how insanely jealous he got?
If she had told him about this from the start, she probably wouldn't have gotten her hands on that half of The Ivory Pill in a million years!
"Got it."
Nora nodded dismissively.
Sure, got it. She'd absolutely do it again next time.
Seeing her clearly perfunctory attitude, Hudson felt an itch at the back of his throat. He wanted nothing more than to...
His Adam's apple bobbed as he took a deep breath, forcing down the sudden surge of dirty thoughts.
"Fine, I'm leaving."
He turned and headed for the door.
Nora let out a small sigh of relief, but a second later, just as Hudson reached the exit, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside!
Finnian Fairchild stood frozen in the doorway, a look of utter shock on his face. His gaze darted between Nora and Hudson, finally landing on Hudson's undone belt buckle...
"!!!"
These two!
Were they really just...
Seeing Finnian cover his eyes and turn around as if he had just witnessed something completely scandalous, Nora was entirely confused.
It was only when she saw Hudson glance down at his waist and slowly, methodically begin to buckle his belt that the realization hit her.
"..."
"Finnian, don't misunderstand..."
Before Nora could even finish, Finnian hurriedly interrupted, "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, you guys just carry on..."
With that, he slammed the door shut.
Nora felt like the most wrongfully accused person in the world.
She and Hudson hadn't even done anything!
Yet her own brother had completely misunderstood the situation...
Now there was no way to explain this away.
Seeing Nora looking like she wanted the ground to swallow her whole, Hudson let out a low chuckle. He knew she had a thin skin, and being caught by an outsider...
