She waited and waited, but the update never arrived.

Finally unable to sit still, she dialed the contact number herself.

No one picked up.

A faint sense of dread began to flicker in Amara’s mind.

She called a private investigator to look into it and soon learned that the thugs had been thrown into prison by Hudson.

Amara’s face drained of color as she bolted upright from the sofa.

“Hudson sent them in? Are you absolutely certain?”

“The information I dig up is never wrong,” the voice on the other end replied.

“I see.” Amara hung up, her thoughts a chaotic mess as she paced the living room.

It was Hudson?

But how could it be Hudson?

He had appeared the second Jade was in danger; did he care that much about her now?

Fury and jealousy collided and surged within Amara’s chest.

Gradually, after the initial emotional wave passed, a deep sense of panic rushed in.

She had no idea if those thugs had said anything they shouldn’t have.

What if they had sold her out…

The front door was suddenly pushed open.

Amara jumped, her heart skipping a beat as she saw a stone-faced Hudson walking in; her face turned even whiter.

The thugs were just arrested, and here he was.

Hudson took in Amara’s expression; a flicker of coldness crossed his eyes before he sat on the sofa, acting as if he knew nothing.

“Amara, why the long face? Aren’t you happy to see me?”

She snapped out of it, forcing a tight smile. “How could I not be? Don’t you know seeing you is the highlight of my day?”

“Come and move into my place,” Hudson said out of the blue.

Amara hadn’t even recovered from her panic when she was blindsided by this sudden joy; delight sparked in her eyes.

She maintained a front of practiced reserve. “Hudson, what made you think of asking me to move in?”

Hudson’s tone was casual. “Cortney is used to staying there, and it’s easier for you to look after her. Besides, the house is too quiet with just me; it needs some life.”

Wasn’t this him asking her to finally be the lady of the house?

Amara’s smile was so wide it almost reached her ears.

“I… I’ll go pack my bags right now.”

Once her things were ready, she followed Hudson to the main villa.

The moment she entered the living room, she shifted into her “loving mother” persona.

She found Cortney and showered her with hugs and kisses.

“Sweetie, how are you liking it here at Uncle Hudson’s? Did you miss Mommy?”

Cortney wrapped her arms around Amara’s neck and said obediently.

“I did.”

Amara kissed her cheek, and then heard Cortney whisper in her ear.

“Mommy, I’ll tell you a secret.”

Amara asked instinctively, “What secret?”

Cortney leaned into Amara’s ear and spoke in a tiny rasp.

“I accidentally heard Uncle Hudson talking to Grandma Rosa. It sounds like he’s planning a surprise for you.”

A surprise?

Amara’s mind raced; was it a surprise for her official welcome?

No, knowing Hudson’s style, a “surprise” would never be as simple as just moving in.

So what exactly was this surprise going to be?

The curiosity was like a physical itch. She gripped the girl’s shoulders.

“Baby, tell Mommy. What else did you hear?”

Cortney winced at the tight grip and didn’t dare speak; she thought back and shook her head.

“Nothing else.”

Amara let go immediately and stood up, feeling a desperate urge to find Mrs. Stanley or Hudson.

But if Hudson said it was a surprise, asking would only ruin the effect.

Amara forced her excitement down and hurried upstairs to pick a guest room near Hudson’s.

Although the signs of her becoming the next Mrs. Walter were everywhere.

She couldn’t afford to be impatient until Hudson officially broke the ice.

That said, Amara still ended up rolling around on her bed in a fit of giggles.
