I Love You More Cade by Coral Hume ( Nydia and Jackson) Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Nydia replied, [Just showered. Sorry for the delay. I’ll attend it.] Those few words answered all of Troy’s questions.

Troy chuckled and quickly typed, [How did the conversation with Tanya go?]

Nydia wrapped her damp hair with a towel, grabbed a tissue from the table, wiped the water droplets off her phone screen, and replied, [It’s in progress.]

Troy followed up, [Are you confident?]

Nydia pondered and replied, [Hard to say.]

Troy paused, recalling Cade’s last visit to Nydia and absentmindedly brushed his eyebrow. If Cade discovered he advised Nydia on her divorce, Cade wouldn’t let him get away with it.

Troy took a puff of his cigar, his eyes darkened as he messaged Nydia, [Contact me if needed.]

Nydia responded, [Thank you. I will.]

After the chat, Nydia started packing for the three–day travel, carefully selecting outfits to leave a perfect impression as a devoted wife. The thought of Cade being criticized for being a jerk made her satisfied.

Suddenly, Cade’s teasing voice sounded. “Are you that happy to travel with me?”

Nydia was startled. Cade seemed to have a knack for appearing out of nowhere. Though cursing him internally, she maintained a bright smile. “Oh, Mr. Jackson.”

Cade, leaning lazily against the wardrobe, arms crossed, gazed down at her, “It’s just a business trip, not a fashion show. Why bring so many clothes?”

Nydia retorted playfully, “So many clothes? I thought they were not enough.”

Cade, seemingly in a good mood, disregarded her disdain and asked casually, “What about mine?“–

Nydia, slightly puzzled, inquired, “What do you mean?”

“Clothes,” Cade reminded her irritably.

“Your clothes are in your wardrobe.” Nydia deliberately ignored his scowl and

innocently replied.

Cade frowned, pointing at her suitcase. “Pack mine for me. They need to match yours

Nydia gritted her teeth with frustration, but she maintained a gentle smile. “We usually buy our own clothes, so they probably won’t match, right?”

“From now on, you’ll buy mine, Cade asserted. “If they don’t match, buy new ones tomorrow morning, and we’ll leave in the afternoon.”

Before she could respond, Cade added, “Be more careful. Don’t embarrass Jackson Group.”

As he turned to leave, Nydia called out, “Wait.”

Cade turned back, and Nydia promptly held out her hand. “Money”

“What money?” Cade frowned in displeasure.

“Money for clothes!” She wasn’t going to let him freeload off her.

“Nydia, I pay you a monthly salary, and you don’t even have money to buy me a few clothes?” Cade looked surprised.

“You’ve got some nerve to bring up my salary, huh?” She sneered inwardly. “I secured so many projects for Jackson Group. Did you ever give me any bonus for it?

Nydia grew angrier as she thought about it. She retorted. “My salary is my due, and how I use it is my right. Your expenses are not my concern.”

Cade’s gaze darkened, and after a while of silence, he threw a black card to the and walked away.

ground

Nydia stared at his retreating figure and picked up the card. It would be foolish not to take the money. Holding the black card, she felt excited.

Ever since Dara arrived, Nydia had been having late–night snacks. She noticed she had gained weight recently.

Tonight, Dara had prepared a large bowl of fish soup, which almost made Nydia burst into tears when she saw Cade’s dark face.

Dara struggled to contain her amusement as she explained, “Mr. Cade, Mr. Orson told me to cook this for you.” Then, she served Nydia a bowl of chicken soup, saying, “Mrs. Jackson, this is for you.”

Nydia was speechless, realizing that she shouldn’t have gloated. She glanced at Cade’s slightly arnused expression and retorted, “Mr. Jackson, if you want to laugh, go ahead. It’s bad for your health.”

Cade, calmly eating his soup, replied, “As long as it’s not bad for my kidneys.”

Nydia stopped engaging in banter with him and started eating.

Dara couldn’t help but smile; she sneakily took a photo and sent it to Orson. She believed that soon, the Jackson family would welcome a new heir.

After finishing the meal, Cade went to the study, while Nydia returned to the bedroom. Having broken a light sweat, she took a shower. Upon coming out of the bathroom, she saw Cade lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He seemed to have showered, wearing loose black pajamas that accentuated his muscular physique, exposing his strong chest and narrow waist. She couldn’t resist his body’s allure.

Feeling her intense gaze, Cade glanced at her, causing her to lose control for a moment. His face exuded a captivating sensuality.

Nydia, trying to hide her feelings, coughed lightly. “Why do you sleep without blow- drying your hair?”

Cade lazily stirred, sounding irritated as he said, “Stop nagging.”

Nydia wondered if he had been asleep. If he was that exhausted, why not just sleep instead of going for a late–night snack?

Frowning, Nydia pondered where she would sleep if he was taking the bed. She wasn’t keen on sharing a bed with him. Deciding to retreat to the adjacent guest room, she turned to leave.

Cade’s cold voice stopped her. “Where do you think you’re going?”

Reminding herself to act as the ideal “Mrs. Jackson, Nydia explained, “I thought you were tired and didn’t want to disturb you. You might not know, but I have trouble sleeping and tend to snore and grind my teeth.

Cade sat up and stared at her in disbelief. “Are you even a woman?”

Nydia chuckled. “Well then, I’ll go sleep next door.” He seemed convinced, so she thought she could leave.

However, Cade was unpredictable. He handed her a towel and coldly instructed, “Shut your mouth with this and come over here to sleep.”
