Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 814

Before she could react, his lips were already chasing hers. Just as he was about to kiss her, Nora quickly pressed her hands against his chest, her palms flat against his rock-hard muscles. "Hudson... what are you doing!" she whispered urgently. "Arthur and the others are right downstairs."

Hudson had no intention of stopping. The curve of his lips was caught in the dim light as he leaned in closer.

"Boss! Nora! I walked around the whole place and couldn't find our rooms! This is a single-family house—there aren't enough bedrooms!"

Olive's booming voice suddenly echoed from the staircase landing.

Nora instinctively shoved Hudson away. She quickly spun around, snatched a tissue from the box, and pretended to be deeply engrossed in wiping down the already spotless coffee table.

Hudson fell back against the sofa cushions. He turned his head to watch her obvious overcompensation, the amusement in his eyes deepening. Draping his arm casually over the back of the sofa, he glanced toward the stairs.

Olive was hanging halfway over the banister, one foot still planted on the third step from the bottom. She looked like a bat dangling upside down.

...

Did this girl think she was a monkey?

Hudson pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

The main house at Cloudwater Estate had a dual-wing layout, providing ample space for Arthur and the security team.

But Skystone Manor was a single-family home.

"This isn't Cloudwater Estate. The security tier is lower. You guys take the first floor. There are enough rooms for the three of you to figure it out."

Hearing this, Olive immediately vaulted over the banister and landed lightly on her feet.

"I get first pick!" Before her voice even faded, she darted into the largest bedroom.
