Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Joe ordered flowers early and brought them straight to the office. Hudson had never felt so anxious, not even with all the things he had been through growing up.

Joe came with 99 roses. Some people might have said giving roses was pretty common, but it actually worked wonders.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I asked for flowers with different meanings. What good are all these roses?"

Joe replied, "Mr. Xender, you're missing the point. Roses might seem simple, but they're actually the most effective gift." Hudson was not convinced. He believed that a gift should be unique to show his true feelings.

Joe might be new to the business world, but he knew a lot more about love than Hudson did.

"Mr. Xender, it's not really about the gift itself. It's about being genuine. You can't let it seem fake."

However, Hudson had a nagging feeling that something was off. He had never told Joe who he was giving the flowers to.

"How do you know who I'm giving them to? You talk as if you know it all."

Hudson was a little upset. Why did it seem like everyone else got the idea of 'love' better than he did? It made him feel like he was clueless about love.

Joe had a hunch about who Hudson was planning to surprise with a gift, but he never spilled the beans. It was because Hudson was the type who would rather go through tough times than let his pride slip.

"Actually, I've known for a while, Mr. Xender... You don't have to hide it. Really, it's pretty clear who you want to give those flowers to..." said Joe. Those words hit Hudson like a punch to the gut. He had not realized that trying to keep his secret had actually given it away.

Was he that transparent? "Okay, I got it."

Feeling awkward, Hudson quickly sent Joe out and was left alone with the roses.

He wished the 99 roses could make his dream come true.

Hudson got to Chloe's place just before lunchtime.

Chloe was a wizard in the kitchen, and anyone who had tried her food would say it was second to none.

Maybe if Chloe invited him in, he

could finally have some of her pumpkin pastries again. However, things did not turn out as he hoped.

Chloe, with an apron on and in the middle of cooking, opened the door with a puzzled look. When she recognized Hudson, her face dropped.

"What are you doing here?"

She did not say it, but her look was cold. Hudson felt like he had a bucket of ice water poured over his head.

Still, Hudson remained composed.

Koven had

drilled into him that

if he got the cold shoulder, he should

not just give up and leave

"I came to check on you..."

Hudson brought out the roses he had hidden behind him. "These are for you."

Chloe was taken aback but did not take the flowers. "Thanks, but my place is too small for such a big gift."

Just as Chloe tried to shut the door, Hudson quickly blocked it with his knee.

"Chloe, we haven't seen each other in so long."

Chloe looked calm and composed, but inside, she knew exactly how long it had been since she had last seen Hudson-nearly a month.
