319: Chapter 13, Don’t Mess with the Fiancee_3 319: Chapter 13, Don’t Mess with the Fiancee_3 An explanation was out of question.
He didn’t dare to expose his dealings with the mysterious organization.
For safety’s sake, Hudson had not even investigated the origin of the mysterious organization.
Even though deep down, he was convinced that the mysterious organization was a front for the clergy, Hudson strictly referred to it as the mysterious organization, determined not to associate it with the Clergy.
The “Blood Moon Horn” didn’t exist, and neither did the transactions.
All there was, was his love at first sight with Isabel, which then developed into a romantic relationship.
This was now the truth, and whoever tried to dig deeper, had to stop at this point.
There was no choice, the deal was too huge.
Leaving aside the priceless knowledge, the Magic Crystal and Magic Core he had gotten, were worth millions of gold coins alone.
These were things that could not be bought with money.
To sacrifice his reputation for it, was not unacceptable.
Being caught flirting by his father-in-law, he was certainly guilty.
Considering Viscount Orlan’s numerous illegitimate children, Hudson’s tense heart gradually settled.
At most, he would be scolded, and ignore it.
Such a minor incident wouldn’t lead to a divorce negotiation.
“Melissa, what are you doing here?”
No sooner than the words left his mouth, Hudson regretted it.
It was a classic mistake, digging his own grave.
“This is my home, why can’t I be here?
Or is it because my presence is untimely, disturbing some people’s…”
Before Melissa could finish speaking, Hudson rushed up to shut her mouth, pulling her into his arms.
Trying to reason at this time would definitely lead to disaster.
Better to act wantonly now and cross this bridge when it comes around.
“Let me go!”
Just as she finished struggling with these words, Hudson kissed her again.
The delicate little mage couldn’t break free at all.
What was initially a scolding session gradually turned into playful banter.
The servants in the room silently left, knowing this was not something they should interfere with.
“Hudson, if you continue, I’ll scream!”
Her anger was still there, but there was already a slight change compared to her previous indifference.
“Scream if you want!
I’ve set up a magic barrier, however loud you scream, your voice won’t reach the outside.
Even if someone saw us, given our relationship, who would dare interfere!”
While he spoke, a soundproofing magic barrier enveloped the two.
The originally aggressive Melissa was instantly stupefied.
Her big eyes stared blankly at Hudson as if to say: I’m angry with you, this isn’t over yet!
Unfortunately, all of this posed little to no threat to Hudson.
Seeing this, he briskly started examining his future wife’s body.
“Stop it, don’t fool around here!”
While speaking, a hint of fear flashed in Melissa’s eyes.
She was a young girl after all, unprepared for anything like this.
She was afraid that Hudson would increase the intensity right here…
Seeing this, Hudson quickly stopped.
Making a show was one thing, but taking it seriously could lead to big trouble.
This was a reception hall, where people could arrive at any time.
Taking some advantage or indulging in a bit of teasing wouldn’t be a problem, but if he took it any further, Viscount Orlan would explode.
“Should we move to your room?”
Hudson asked tentatively.
“No!”
Melissa said in alarm.
At this moment, she was no longer concerned about settling scores with Hudson, but was figuring out how to escape.
In the noble’s world, becoming intimate with a future husband before marriage was also considered scandalous.
This kind of reputation could be detrimental to both sides.
The only difference was that—Hudson’s promiscuous reputation had already spread, and there was no hope of repairing it.
It wouldn’t be surprising if he decided to take the plunge.
“When did you come back?
Why didn’t you notify me?”
In an instant, Hudson swapped to a concerned face.
The process didn’t matter, first he had to solve the trouble at hand.
“Hmph!”
Melissa, back to her senses, couldn’t help but scoff: “Some people promised me when they were in the Capital.
Just a short while later, they’ve taken someone into their house.
If I had returned a bit later, would I have been able to attend your wedding?”
A “wedding” was out of question, if he dared to bring a singer home, the Koslow Clan would probably implode.
There was even a possibility that Baron Redman would show up with a whip trying to settle accounts with Hudson.
The family’s underlings, would in all probability switch sides.
Everyone knew that following an unreliable boss had no future.
“How can a mere singer be compared to you?
She threw herself at me, how can that be my fault?
If it wasn’t for an accident, some people would’ve married early, and none of this would’ve happened.”
While speaking, Hudson pulled Melissa into his arms again, his hands roaming over her body once more.
Melissa, recognizing his tricks, quickly pushed him away and said: “Don’t misbehave, my father is waiting for you in the study, don’t let him wait too long.”
Receiving this answer, Hudson looked at the blushing Melissa and chuckled.
Knowing the two of them had a dispute, but still letting his daughter pass the message, this father-in-law probably didn’t mean for him to go at all.
But considering the constant fluttering banners outside Viscount Orlan’s house, and no real issues inside, perhaps he didn’t really care about this after all.
“Understood!
However, someone should freshen up a bit, otherwise, if you go out looking like this, everyone would think I did something to you.”
Hudson said with a mischievous grin.
His intuition told him that if he really wanted to, he had a good chance of succeeding today.
As for what would happen afterwards, whether he’d be hunted down by Viscount Orlan, that was hard to say.
Such a thrilling thing, Hudson thought, was better left untried.
Even if he wanted a taste of forbidden fruit, he should change the location—not right under his father-in-law’s nose.
Should he invite Melissa over as a guest?
This thought had just arisen when Hudson put it out immediately.
There was still a singer at home to be dealt with, to let his wife-to-be go there would be like walking into a warzone.
