Though this question felt somewhat cruel to him, he still wanted to know what place he held in Haley's heart. He also wanted to test Haley's boundaries on this occasion.

This time, Haley did not immediately answer; instead, she fell into thought.

Did she hate it? The answer was no.

In fact, it was Haley's first time kissing someone. She had never experienced this feeling before. Even though it had been over ten minutes, it seemed like Shane's breath still lingered between her lips.

While kissing him, Haley's mind went blank, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might leap out of her chest. Even now, whenever she recalled that moment, she could not help but blush uncontrollably and feel her heart race.

After all, who could resist the sight of a composed, aloof man losing control and passionately kissing you? Realizing what she had just been thinking, Haley's breath caught, and she became so nervous she could barely breathe.

Ugh, how could she entertain such impr

    Just then, the phone rang abruptly, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. He frowned, wondering who would call so late. When he saw the caller ID, his expression darkened. Haley noticed Shane's unpleasant expression and asked curiously, "Mr. Ford, who's calling? Aren't you going to answer?" Shane initially did not want to answer, but after some thought, he reluctantly picked up. "What's up?" His voice, already cold, now felt like icy blades, sending shivers down one's spine. Anyone could tell he was angry. However, Evelyn on the other end of the line did not seem to notice. She was frantic, her voice trembling as she cried out over the phone, "Ah Shane, it's bad! Stella committed suicide!" "So what?" Shane's tone was extremely indifferent. Evelyn's voice was urgent as she repeated, "Stella, Stella! She could not bear seeing you with other women, so she cut her wrists. If it weren't for the maid finding her in time..." Midway through her words, Evelyn could not

    However, staying at the Ford family's place was not a long-term solution. So, she started to hatch a plan. Her niece had good looks and a pleasant personality. If she could marry into the Ford family, why couldn't her niece? She shared her thoughts with Stella, and to her surprise, Stella agreed without hesitation. Stella even confessed that she had been secretly in love with Shane for a long time. This was a pleasant surprise for her. So, over the years, she had been creating opportunities for Stella, both openly and covertly. Whenever Shane visited the Ford family, she would secretly contact Stella. Stella would then use the pretext of visiting her to get closer to Shane. However, despite all these years of effort, Shane remained indifferent to Stella's advances. This left her efforts in vain, and all her schemes fell through. She had thought she was being discreet about the whole matter and would not be found out, but Shane had surprisingly seen through it all. Evelyn felt

    Haley looked at Shane and asked, "Mr. Ford, are you sure it's okay not to go?"Although she did not like the tone of Evelyn's words, she had no grudge against Stella. What if Stella really could not bear it and things took a turn for the worse?Shane threw his phone aside and looked calmly at Haley. "So, you want me to go?"Haley thought carefully. If Shane really went, could she truly remain indifferent? To her surprise, the answer was no! Perhaps no wife in the world would willingly let her husband go meet another woman late at night.Under Shane's gaze, she voiced her thoughts. After speaking, there was a long silence from Shane, leaving her anxious as she cautiously observed his expression. But when she looked up, she found a smile in Shane's eyes and between his brows, seemingly quite pleased.Shane was indeed happy because Haley's answer satisfied him. If Haley had said she did not mind and left the decision to him, it would have been akin to pronouncing a death sentence.H

    No matter how hard she tried, she could not shake those images from her mind. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Until a deep voice beside her asked, "Can't sleep?"Haley's body stiffened, suddenly afraid to move. Nervously, she held her breath and softly replied, "Mm."In the darkness, Shane opened his eyes and turned to look in Haley's direction. His eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he could vaguely make out the small lump beside him through the moonlight filtering in through the curtains.He thought for a moment, then slowly moved closer, wrapping Haley and the blanket she was under in his arms.Startled by the unexpected movement, Haley jumped, her body tensing even more. "Mr. Ford!""Yeah, don't be afraid. I won't do anything, just holding you," Shane reassured her softly.Haley, who had been facing away from Shane, slowly turned to face him upon hearing his words. Their eyes met.Haley asked Shane, "Mr. Ford, have you ever regretted marrying me?"She wa

    Shane was momentarily taken aback, but then burst into laughter when he understood what Haley meant. He lazily lay on the bed, chuckling heartily, looking quite pleased.Haley did not know what he was laughing at, but her cheeks uncontrollably grew hotter.She glared at Shane in annoyance. After all, it was his own words! Shane immediately suppressed his laughter, stretched out his long arm, and pulled her into his embrace. Haley instinctively wanted to struggle, but she heard his deep, hoarse voice above her. "You can understand it as me wanting to have a normal romantic relationship with you, just like any other couple. After all, our marriage was too hasty. I want to give you enough time to adapt and make up for what we missed, without any regrets."Pausing for a moment, Shane hinted, "Of course, if you want to take it 'to the next step' with me, I don't mind."Haley lifted her head in confusion, "Can we still date after getting married?"Shane nodded, his tone firm, "As

    In truth, Evelyn was prepared to give up. Shane had a heart tougher than anyone she'd encountered. When he liked something, he liked it; if not, he didn't. So no matter how hard Stella tried, it was all in vain. Unfortunately, Stella did not see it that way. She stubbornly believed that Haley's appearance had disrupted all her plans. Over the years, she had considered giving up and even tried to get along with other men. But she always unconsciously compared those men to Shane. The result was clear. None of those men could even compare to Shane's pinky finger. In her heart, Shane was the perfect man. Not only was he from a prestigious family, good-looking, and wealthy, but he also held control over the entire Ford Corporation. If she could bear him a son, her son would inherit the entire Ford Corporation. Then everyone would have to flatter and fawn over her. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to hardship and endured much humiliation and abuse. She had had enough! From

    How could Evelyn possibly accept that? The thought of James suffering so much because of that little wench Haley made her seethe with anger. She wished she could tear Haley to pieces to relieve her heartache. But she remained rational and shook her head. "I can't help you with this favor. Haley is no longer the helpless, unfavored, down-and-out miss she used to be. If Shane finds out, we'll all be finished."Evelyn knew Shane's methods better than anyone. Despite his aloof demeanor, he was not one to lose his temper easily. But when he did, those who offended him would meet a terrible fate. Evelyn had heard rumors before about a few partners who offended Shane with their disrespectful remarks. Soon after, those companies encountered various problems—either exposed for shoddy workmanship or reported for tax evasion. There was even a company where several executives were suspected of sexual harassment and misconduct, leading to a plummet in the company's stock price. Everyone su

    Xena jumped up from the bed in excitement, her voice raising several degrees, "Really? That's wonderful, James! We can finally be together openly and honestly!"But despite Xena's excitement, there was no hint of joy on James's face. Calling off the engagement was what he wanted most, and theoretically, he should be happy now that he got what he wished for. But he could not muster any happiness because the price of this termination of the engagement was too steep. Not only had Shane frozen his bank account, but he also had to address his most hated ex-fiancee as "Aunt." Most importantly, he had not convinced his grandmother to accept Xena into the family. His grandmother never liked Xena due to her background, and with Haley marrying his uncle, it was even harder for Xena to enter the Ford family. After leaving the Ford residence, he immediately made plans to go to the bar with friends. However, Xena was completely unaware of his troubles, holding her phone tightly with exciteme

    Since that day, the number of bodyguards at Violet Grove had multiplied several times, and Shane even had the latest security system installed at home. It was a top-of-the-line model with built-in defense mechanisms. If anyone unfamiliar tried to break in, the alarm would go off instantly. After hearing about how close Evangeline and Nicholas had come to being kidnapped, no one thought these precautions were excessive. In fact, they only wished more could be done."This is just despicable! I can’t believe Xena could be so vicious!""We were too soft on her before. Someone like that is just a waste of air."Shane and Haley remained silent, but their thoughts were the same.Shane reassured everyone, "It’s over. Xena will never have another chance to get out."Hearing this, everyone felt a bit more at ease."By the way, where are Mom and Dad? I don't see them," Haley asked, noticing that her parents were not around, though everyone else had gathered.Zac didn’t say anything but q

    Just the thought of what could have happened made Haley’s heart ache unbearably.The nannies stammered for a long time but couldn’t describe the person who had approached them. All they could recall was that the person had been thoroughly covered and that it was a woman.Shane immediately called his assistant, instructing him to investigate as soon as possible.It was past 3 a.m., and Haley still sat at the edge of the bed, unable to close her eyes. Her eyes were red from exhaustion and worry.Shane wrapped his arms around her, whispering words of comfort, "Don’t be afraid, it’s all over now. Everything will be okay."Haley sniffled and nodded. "I know, but I’m still so scared. We were just in time. If we’d been any later…"Shane pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I won’t let anything like this happen again. Trust me."At that moment, Shane's assistant, Dean, walked in, dragging someone who was covered head to toe.The person stumbled, falling to their knees in front of Haley and

    Late that night, Shane and Haley finally sent off the last guest. Haley leaned heavily against Shane, exhaustion written all over her face. "Ugh, no one told me getting married would be this tiring. I'm never doing this again."Shane chuckled. "Who else do you plan on marrying besides me?"Haley blinked innocently at him. "Who says you can't marry the same person twice? That's what they do in books and dramas."Shane sighed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and gently tapping her on the forehead. "You need to cut back on those dramas."Haley giggled, rubbing her forehead. "Hey, they’re useful! I’ve learned a lot from them."Shane raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did you learn?"A mysterious smile curved on Haley's lips. "Not telling you. You'll find out if you ever make me mad."Seeing that she wasn’t going to spill the secret, Shane let it go. He bent down and suddenly hoisted Haley over his shoulder.Caught off guard, Haley yelped in surprise. "Shane, what are you doing?"

    Jenny and Charlotte stayed behind to keep Haley company. Jenny teased her with a grin, "Can you believe we’re all getting married now? Back in college, we used to imagine what our future partners would be like."Haley shot her a sideways glance and retorted, "Not ‘we,’ just you. Bet you never imagined you’d end up with someone who’s nothing like your ideal type, huh?"Back then, Haley was still engaged to James Ford. Though James was far from a good guy, Haley felt obligated to honor her mother’s dying wish and marry him. She didn’t spend much time fantasizing about love. Jenny, on the other hand, practically lived in her romantic daydreams."Oh, so you’re teasing me now?" Jenny’s face flushed for a moment, then she lunged at Haley, pretending to tickle her.Haley dodged, laughing, and soon the two were playfully tussling. Watching from the sidelines, Charlotte couldn’t help but smile along with them.Soon after, the wedding officially began. The venue was packed with guests,

    On the fifth of May, the wedding took place as planned.Shane had started preparing the venue two days in advance, meticulously arranging every detail himself. The expansive wedding grounds were filled with romance, from the long red carpet laid out on the lawn to the balloons adding a whimsical touch.Haley donned her wedding dress and let the stylists work their magic, crafting an exquisite look for her. Just then, Shane entered the room, standing behind her with a warm smile."You look absolutely stunning today, Haley. The most beautiful bride in the world," he said, admiration in his voice.Haley turned her head toward him, her face glowing with happiness. "Weren’t you busy greeting the guests? How did you find time to sneak in here?"Ignoring the people around them, Shane bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. "I stole a little break to come see you," he whispered playfully.At that moment, a teasing voice interrupted them from behind. "You two really can’t stop showi

    After what felt like an eternity, Haley was nearly out of breath when Shane finally let her go reluctantly. However, even though his lips had only pulled away slightly, his hands still firmly gripped her waist."Do you like it?" he asked, his deep eyes filled with affection.Haley blinked innocently. "Like what?""Me," Shane replied with a playful grin, his gaze never leaving her face. "Do you like me?"Her cheeks flushed, and her heart raced as she bit her lip and looked up at him. "Why don’t you guess?"Shane chuckled and pulled her onto his lap. "I’d guess... you do."Caught off guard, Haley let out a small yelp and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, shooting him a playful glare. "You already knew, so why ask?"Her response only made Shane laugh harder. After a bit more playful banter, he held her close as they leaned back on the couch. Then he brought up their wedding. "I talked with Mom and your parents. We all agreed that our wedding will be held in a month.

    Haley had always known how much Shane doted on Evangeline, treating her like the apple of his eye. But she hadn’t expected his protectiveness to reach such an extreme level. She couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated at the same time.Gently, she grabbed Shane’s hand and comforted him softly, "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Hugo is only a month old. He didn’t mean any harm. If anything, it just shows how lovable our Evangeline is."Shane sat on the edge of the bed, the tension in his chest easing slightly, but he still couldn’t shake off all his frustration. In his mind, he made a firm decision that he would do everything in his power to protect his little treasure from now on. No one would be allowed to get too close to her again.From that day on, everyone noticed how Shane’s protectiveness over Evangeline had reached a whole new level. He barely let her out of his sight, as if he needed to be by her side 24/7. Anyone who dared approach her was met with a cold, pier

    Jenny couldn't help but laugh. "You haven't seen this little guy when he's awake. He's a real handful. If you did, you'd probably take back all those compliments."When Hugo was awake, he was full of energy, and when he cried, his voice could shake the walls. Jenny looked at Nicholas and Evangeline, who were awake but contentedly sucking on their tiny fists, and said, "These two are so much easier. They’re quiet and calm, the more I look at them, the more I like them."Seeing the twins were awake, Haley quickly leaned over, gently poking their soft, chubby cheeks. "Awake already? You only napped for a little while."Nicholas stared up at Haley with his big eyes, silently taking her in. Evangeline, on the other hand, waved her tiny hand and let out a soft "ah," which nearly melted Henry and Jenny's hearts.Henry knelt beside the crib, unable to tear his eyes away from Evangeline. He playfully reached out to her, and when she giggled at him without fear, he adored her even more. "S

    Haley took a small sip, smiling as she saw the eager look in Shane's eyes. "Mmm, it’s good.""Really?" Shane smiled as well, taking another spoonful for himself. He tasted it thoughtfully before nodding. "Yeah, it’s good. The seasoning is just right, and it’s refreshing. Even with the herbs, it’s not bitter at all."He quickly brought another spoonful to Haley’s lips, feeding her until the bowl was nearly empty.Seeing Haley’s good appetite, Shane tidied up the dishes and called Dean. "Tell the restaurant that all the chefs’ salaries are doubled this month."Dean was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. "Got it. I’ll take care of it right away."As he hung up the phone, Dean couldn’t help but think, "When will it be my turn for a bonus?"As if Shane could read his thoughts, a low voice came through the receiver. "Haley’s pregnancy has been tough, and you’ve worked hard these past few months too. Your year-end bonus will be tripled, and you’ll get extra vacation days. Spend
