Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 821

"I had Archer swap out the half Ivory Pill ahead of time."

Hudson leaned back against the sofa, looking up at Jude with a lazy smirk. "The half that your maid stole was a fake. The real one is already in my stomach."

"..."

Jude stood in stunned silence.

His expression shifted from utter confusion to shock, and finally to a complicated mix of emotions...

Eventually, he let out a wry chuckle, shaking his head and rubbing his temples. "My grandfather just got out of surgery, and he's been consumed with guilt, saying he failed to protect the pill and let you and Evangeline down... I guess we worried for nothing..."

He pointed a finger at Hudson. "You... you really... Forget it. As long as you're okay, that's what matters. At least my grandfather and I don't have to carry this guilt anymore."

Hudson took a deep breath.

This man—

His sheer decency almost made Hudson feel like a completely shameless bastard...

Standing up, Hudson clapped Jude on the shoulder. "Thanks, man."

Jude glanced at him. "I don't know what kind of game you're playing with Finnian, but I'll play along. I won't breathe a word about the decoy pill to him either."

"Appreciate it." Hudson pulled his hand back, a sudden smirk appearing on his lips. "By the way..."

Jude raised an eyebrow.

"Do you need a wife?"

Jude blinked.

Hudson spoke with absolute seriousness. "My sister, Tiffany Lancaster. You've met her. She's beautiful, has a great personality... I think you two would be a perfect match."

"..."

A vein throbbed at Jude's temple. "...Shut up."
