What did he mean by that? She wasn't even married to Luis or engaged to him before. How had she su Despite that, she remained calm outwardly, still looking like the timid and meek lady she pretended t "What do you mean, Hudson?" she looked at him in confusion. "I mean, yes, I loved Luis, but he was...moked, letting tears wet her eyes. "He was gone before we could get married." Hudson watched her silently, feeling suffocated himself, but he cleared his throat and continued, "Tha lawfully."
"Are you..." Emely swallowed. "Are you planning to cancel our engagement?" Hudson shook his head, and Emely relaxed slightly.
"I will still marry you," Hudson said seriously. "It's for Luis. But Emely, we wouldn't be a real couple." Emely clenched her skirt tighter. Wouldn't be a real couple?
"We will stay together in the same house after we get married, but we won't sleep in the same bedroo "In public, we will act like a married couple, but in private, we won't," he added.
at I mean, Emely. Luis loved you until his last dying breath. For him, you are his one and only. Thus, that makes you my sister-in-law in a way, even if not
dson explained.
"Why, Hudson?" Emely asked. She thought everything would go according to her plan, but what brought about this sudden decision of his? "Don't you love me? Luis has passed away," Emely kept her voice soft, but in truth, she was coercing him to be a real couple with her. Hudson exhaled heavily and leaned back against his chair. "I did, Emely. I did. I loved you a long time ago, but you chose Luis over me." Emely looked down and bit her lip before looking at Hudson again and whispered, "But he's not here anymore."
"He's not, but I can't do this to him, Emely," Hudson's voice turned gentle. "I can't love his woman."
Emely still wanted to argue, but Hudson continued with his explanation.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"To be honest, when you left without a word, you broke my heart for the second time," he said. "And over time, seeing how happy Luis and you were, my love for you changed." "Changed?" She came back here because she thought Hudson was still in love with her.
"I think of you now as... As I've said before, my sister-in-law or maybe my sister," Hudson replied. "I will take care of you; you don't have to worry about that. I hope you understand all these, Emely."
Still pretending to be the gentlewoman, she nodded and said, "Of course, I understand, Hudson. To be honest, it is kind of weird if we are to be a real couple."
She laughed softly as if she had been thinking about it herself. "I loved Luis and will always love him. Thank you for making this easier for me."
Forget it, she thought. As long as they were married, she could make him fall in love with her again, and she would have many chances to get into his bed.
Hudson heaved a sigh of relief and felt like one of his burdens had been lifted from his shoulders. He thought Emely would fight him over it, but it seemed she was really lovely, and his grandma and everyone who thought poorly of her was wrong. "Thank you for understanding and thinking the same way, Emely," Hudson said gratefully to her.
"Oh, please don't let my mother and sister know of our arrangement," Hudson added. "You know how they felt about you before, and I don't want them to feel that way again, or I won't be able to take care of you."
"Of course." Emely nodded in understanding, but her mind had already cooked up plans to use Dahlia and Polly to make Hudson entirely hers.
"And if any of our acts in public ever make you feel uncomfortable, please let me know." Hudson, after all, was a gentleman. He didn't want this brother's beloved to feel uncomfortable around him.
"I won't," Emely shook her head. "I know you won't cross any line we shouldn't have."
"Alright," Hudson nodded his head. "Thank you for your trust in me.
"Well..." Emely stood up. "I'm glad we have this conversation." Then she frowned. "But we do have to act like a couple in love as we are to be engaged. Will you be okay with it?"
"I will." Hudson knew he would most probably only treat her gently like he used to be. Just showing her gentleness was nothing hard to do for him.
He stood up and round the table, reaching out to hug her. This time, he felt slightly more comfortable than the time at the mansion because now he knew Emely's thinking was in line with him. "Thank you," he said softly.
"I should be the one thanking you." Emely hugged him back but secretly smiled triumphantly. She was confident of her seducing techniques. Hudson wouldn't be able to escape her clutch now.
She let him go and stepped back, smiling her gentle smile at him. "I'd better get going. I'm sure you have many important things to do."
"I do." Hudson nodded and went back to his seat. "Thank you for the lunch. I'll ask Miles to take you back." "Oh, I know you sometimes skip meals when you are swamped with work, so I just made something for you. We need to keep up our act, don't we?" Emely laughed softly. "And don't worry about Miles; I can find my way back."
"Thank you again, Emely." Hudson was very grateful for her.
"I'll leave now," Emely said, and Hudson nodded.
Once outside his office, Emely's gentle face contorted into an ugly frown, but she inhaled and turned gentle again. She needed to act well to trap Hudson.
Then suddenly, she thought of Cherise and Hudson's inability to take his eyes off her. She wouldn't let Cherise get in her way, and her smile turned slightly evil as she thought of the first step to humiliate her.
Days passed, and Country B buzzed with the news of Hudson and Emely's engagement party. Many wondered why the party was being held so rushed, but Polly and Dahlia assured everyone that it was because the couple had been in love for so long. Since Hudson was already divorced, there was nothing to hold them back from being together as soon as possible.
With the rumors of Emely being Hudson's first love spread, everyone forgets the thought of Emely being a mistress.
That made every lady sigh dreamily. To have someone as handsome and rich as Hudson Amery fell in love to the point of couldn't wait to spend the rest of their lives together was every woman's dream.
They all felt envious of Emely. Hudson even divorced his wife for her. How could they not feel jealous?
Julian, Logan, and Cherise were gathering at Cherise's office when suddenly Neil knocked on the door and entered.
"Mr. Julian, Miss. Cherise, Mr. Logan," he greeted them respectfully. "The Amery has sent you invitations to Mr. Hudson and Miss. Emely's engagement party."
