Chapter 72
Hudson knew he sounded unbelievable and unreasonable. He was the rich*st man in Country B, he had more than one car available in his garage, each one as expensive as the one he usually used.

But after realizing his feelings for his ex–wife, he wanted nothing more than, desperate even, to spend as much time as he could possibly be with her, even if it reduced him to a shameless idiot.
Cars they were married and the months after.
And it was not like he hadn’t done so for the past three years they

her, and his mind churned fast like a motorboat engine
Then it came to him, the most excellent excuse he could think of. “I’ll pick you up after work. Grandma has been begging me to take you to see her.”
Those words stopped Cherise from rejecting Hudson’s offer. It had been a long time since she met Agatha.
Agatha was the only nice family member of Amery to her. She even treated Cherise like her own granddaughter.
Cherise felt guilty for divorcing Hudson without telling her and didn’t contact her at all after that.
Cherise sighed and gave in just this one time. After all, she owed Agatha for being nice to her during her marriage to Hudson.
“Fine,” she huffed and walked out of her penthouse with Hudson following close behind her.
Hudson couldn’t keep the smile off his face but maintained his cool demeanor again once they stepped into the elevator that went straight to their exclusive parking lot so Cherise wouldn’t see how elevated he w
Thankfully he had already called Miles to drive away his car when Cherise was getting ready so his bullshit excuse of his car being looked at by the insurance company seemed to be true.
He let Cherise walk in front of him as he assessed her from behind. Cherise, unlike other women working in an office, preferred to wear pants rather than skirts.
But he’d be damned if she didn’t look good in them. Today she wore a black suit just like him, which accentuated her slender form, especially her long legs.
For once, Hudson wished there were paparazzi to take pictures of them together because they would look great standing side–by–side. Like a power couple.
He let out a deep sigh. Why hadn’t he seen this side of her when they were married? He remembered her trying to give him. some advice about his business, but at that time he scowled and sneered at her, thinking what could a mere country bumpkin know about business?
Regret crept up on him again. He should have been nicer to her just like Keith had told him many times. He should have erased his prejudices about her, then maybe they wouldn’t be in this situation now.
But what was done was done. He couldn’t take back all the hurt he had done to her. All he could do was to try to make everything right – make up for every hurt he had inflicted on her, get close to her, get in her good grace, make her fall in

love with him again, and get her back.
Suddenly Cherise stopped and turned to face him, handing him the key of her car.
Hudson took the key casually and froze when he saw the car. He had forgotten Cherise drove a soft pink car!
Cherise saw his expression and smirked. “Is Hudson Amery too embarrassed to drive a pink car?”
Hudson swallowed in nervousness. He really wanted to be with her, b reputation?!
driving a pink car? God, what would they do to his
Cherise moved to take the key away from his hand, still smirking, enjoying Hudson’s embarrassment, but Hudson snatched his hand away and strode to the passenger seat to open the door for Cherise, surprising her.
She really thought he would give up on driving with her! She couldn’t get her mind on why Hudson would do things normally he wouldn’t do for her, even going as far as swallowing his pride to drive her around.
For all she knew, Hudson seldom drove himself. He preferred to be driven by Miles, his friends, or his chauffeur.
Bringing her breakfast, eating comfortably together without him glaring at her and even driving her pink sports car were not things Hudson Amery did.
But since he was willing to do those things, why not take advantage of it?
Cherise slid into the passenger seat elegantly and let Hudson close the door for her. She watched as he circled toward the driver seat and slid in, adjusting the seat and rearview mirror.
Hudson caressed the steering wheel, feeling the soft leather yet hard enough for his grip not to falter in case happened.
something
He started the car and enjoyed the rumbling of the engine. This was a car that was only being manufactured in five units all over the world. He didn’t know whether to continue enjoying it or trashing it since Julian was the one who gifted it to Cherise.
“Where’s the button to close the hard top?” he asked, trying to at least maintain his dignity by not allowing anyone to see him driving a soft pink car.
But of course Cherise wouldn’t give it to him. She smirked again and said, “I prefer to enjoy the wind.”
“But it’s cold,” Hudson complained softly, knowing this was a battle he wouldn’t win.
Heck, he didn’t even try too hard to convince her they needed to close the hard top.
At this point, he might just about do anything she asked him to do other than staying away from her.
Cherise shrugged and took a lipgloss and compact mirror from her bag, applying it as she told him, “This is my car. Take it or leave it.”
Hudson sighed helplessly and started driving, glancing at his ex–wife out of the corner of his eyes from time to time.
Seeing her leaning her head back and enjoying the cold autumn wind around them with her eyes closed, a small smile playing on her lips brought a smile to Hudson’s own lips.
That didn’t mean the drive wasn’t torturous for him. Her lips glistening from the lipgloss she had applied seemed to be calling out to him and he had to ground himself from stopping the car on the sidewalk just to have a taste of those luscious lips.
When they reached the Angelworld building. Cherise could feel many pairs of eyes looking at them, but she ignored them.

She opened her door, slid out, closed it, and turned around to face Hudson, issuing him a warning. “One scratch and I’ll make sure you won’t be able to produce any heir for the Amery family.”
Hudson winced inwardly, knowing she meant every word and could deliver her threat without even batting an eyelid, but outwardly, he showed his usual aloofness.
He nodded and said, “See you later after work.”
Cherise tuned to enter the building without looking back while Hudson kept watching her until her figure disappeared before driving to his office.
Miles was already waiting for him when he reached the Amery Group’s building and he and the other employees nearly dropped their jaws to the ground when they saw their cold CEO getting out of a pink convertible car.
“Say one word and I’ll fire you,” Hudson warned him and gave him the key so he could park them in the underground parking lot.

“Oh, and one scratch on the car and I’ll cut your balls off,” Hudson warned him with the same threat Cherise had issued him.
Miles nearly peed on his pants when he heard his boss‘ threat. He had never driven a limited edition car, how could his boss threaten him like that?!
But being the perfect PA, he kept quiet and slipped into the driver’s seat and carefully maneuvered Cherise’s car into the parking lot, all the while praying for his poor balls that had been threatened.
The first thing Hudson did when he sat on his chair in his office was to call his grandmother.
“Finally stopped being stupid?” Agatha’s voice rang in his phone the moment the call was connected, without even bothering to say hello.
“Grandma…” Hudson greeted helplessly.
“What do you want to tell me this time?” Agatha asked impatiently. “If it’s something about that scheming woman, I won’t listen to it.”
“I know I was wrong,” Hudson apologized. “I’m just calling to tell you I told Cherise you sked me to bring her to meet you for dinner.”
There was silence for a few seconds before he heard his grandmother sneering, “You finally realized what a perfect woman she is and used me to get her back?”
Hudson pursed his lips, not knowing how to reply, but then he heard Agatha’s curious voice.
“So, did she agree?”
“She did,” Hudson replied.
“That is good news!” His grandmother practically screamed with joy into the phone and he heard her ordering the maids to cook Cherise’s favorite dishes.
Hudson could only shake his head at how different the treatments his grandma was giving him and Cherise.
“We’ll see you at dinner, Grandma,” he mumbled, knowing Agatha was already only half–listening to him.
“Yes, yes. Go and do your job,” Agatha said and hung up the call without even a single goodbye.
Hudson looked at his black screen phone before setting it down on the table and started working, wishing the day could be
shorter than usual.
Chapter 72
During her break, Cherise thought of what to bring when she was meeting Agatha later on.
After thinking for a while, she called Julian and asked him if she could take some of his tea collections.
Julian, as the protective big brother, had already heard from Neil about Cherise and Hudson and asked her about it.
Cherise had no problém telling him about what happened and why she needed the tea.
Julian knew Agatha was the only one who treated Cherise nicely during her hell of a life as Hudson’s wife, so he had no problem giving us tea to her.
He asked Neil to get them from his mansion and reminded Cherise to be careful of Hudson.
Cherise laughed and reminded him of how she trashed Hudson’s apartment the last time he tried to touch her, and even though Julian was still worried, he believed his sister could protect herself from Hudson, especially since Agatha would be there with them.
When Cherise had finished all her work for the day, she took the tea and went down to the lobby to find many female employees loitering around instead of going home as usual.
Some of them were giggling and whispering with each other, but most of them were gawking toward a spot outside of the building.
When they saw her, they parted a way for her to exit the building and Cherise’s steps halted as she saw the source of the female employees’s giggles and whispers.
