Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 148
Shane’s words suddenly echoed in Haley’s ears, startling her. Another wave of suppressed bitterness surged up, even more intense and urgent than before. Haley felt like she was on the verge of suffocation.She nervously swallowed, maintaining her posture with her back to him, and said slowly, "Mr. Ford, I'm sorry, I... maybe I'm not ready yet."It was supposed to be just a transaction. Shane had been too kind, giving her tenderness and favor she had never experienced before, making her unable to help but develop feelings. But this affection probably should not exist. If Mr. Ford knew she had feelings for him that she should not have, what would he think of her? Haley did not dare to continue thinking. She forcefully closed her eyes, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.Since her feelings for Mr. Ford were not deep enough, she needed to quickly cut off this unrealistic fantasy. If she knew there was someone else in his heart and this relationship had no future, it was better to

Sure enough, the next moment, Haley's father, Joe, slowly spoke, "Haley, is it true or false that you're marrying Mr. Ford?""Does it make any difference to you whether it's true or false?"Joe was caught off guard by her words, momentarily unsure of what to say. After a brief silence, he finally found his voice again and smiled, "Of course, it matters. You're my daughter. How could you not discuss such a big decision with me?"Haley scoffed, "Even if I told you, would you have a say in it?"Joe choked again, his face burning hot. He really did not have a say in it. Shane was the one who called the shots in Jasper City. Who dared to provoke him? If he wanted a woman, wasn't it just a matter of saying so?But facing Haley, he did not want to lose face, so he said sternly, "Haley, how can you say such things to your father? I hope you'll be happy."Haley did not buy into his nonsense, deciding not to waste any time on him. She got straight to the point, "Alright, what do you want f

Joe felt his face flush with embarrassment, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in it. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine he would be on the receiving end of a lecture from Shane. Yet, he could not find any excuse to refute, so he could only retort in annoyance, "Mr. Ford, this is a matter concerning our Carter family. You shouldn't meddle in it!"Shane's lips curved into a chilly arc, his gaze growing colder by the moment. "Haley is my wife, so her affairs are mine as well. Or do you think I'm not worthy of being your Carter family's son-in-law?"Joe's heart sank, hastily denying, "No, that's not what I meant, Mr. Ford. I admit I was a bit harsh with Haley just now. I'm sorry."He now needed Shane's help and had no choice but to swallow his pride, even though he did not feel he was in the wrong. Haley was his daughter, and it was only natural for a father to discipline his daughter. In his view, Haley's arrogance stemmed from the favoritism shown to her by Shane.

"It seems like you're not doing too well. Did you not rest well last night?" Although Shane still appeared indifferent on the surface, his tone was filled with concern and care. Haley was immersed in guilt, her brows tightly furrowed. She pursed her lips, feeling overwhelmed with apology, making it hard for her to breathe."I'm sorry, Mr. Ford." Shane sat down beside her, but instead of getting close as usual, he maintained some distance. After a moment of silence, he asked her, "Haley, are you afraid of me?" Haley hurriedly denied, "No, I'm not!" How could she be afraid of Mr. Ford when he was so kind to her?"Then why are you avoiding me? Since last night, you've been avoiding me. Can you tell me what happened? Did I do something wrong?" Haley nervously swallowed, lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing. It was not fear or avoidance, just worry.She was worried that she would repeat her mother's mistakes. Initially, although Haley's father married her mother, his heart

After leaving Violet Grove, Shane went straight to his car. Dean, sitting in the driver's seat, felt a continuous low pressure emanating from the backseat and could not help but shiver. He hesitated for a moment but could not resist asking, "Mr. Ford, are we heading back to the company?"Shane slowly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over Dean. Dean's back instantly stiffened, not daring to even take a breath. Fortunately, Shane quickly averted his gaze and instructed him, "Go to Nightshade Bar.""Yes, Mr. Ford."Although somewhat surprised, Dean followed Shane's orders and started the car towards Nightshade Bar. Shane stared out of the window at the scenery receding behind them for a while, then took out his phone and messaged Henry and Zac, "Meet at Nightshade Bar in 20 minutes."Approximately 20 minutes later, Dean parked the car in the underground parking lot of Nightshade Bar. Shane got out of the car and took the elevator directly to the top floor, entering a private r

This was also Shane's purpose in bringing the two of them together. Among the three of them, no one understood women better than Henry. As for Zac... he was just there to make up the numbers. At his age, never having been in a relationship, he surely could not help with anything. Shane pondered for a moment, then explained the recent abnormal behavior of Haley. He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled, the thin smoke clouding his cold, stern face. Henry pondered for a moment, then exaggeratedly said, "Bro, you're hopeless. It's been a long time since you got married, and you've only kissed once?" Shane was speechless. Was that the main issue here? Under Shane's deadly gaze, Henry quickly backtracked, "Bro, my bad. Could you elaborate more? Did your wife really suddenly change out of the blue? Was there no warning signs at all?" Shane fell into contemplation, then shook his head, "None." Just yesterday they had dinner together, and suddenly everything changed at n

At ten o'clock in the evening, Shane still had not returned. Haley lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Frustrated, she got up and dialed Shane's number. This was the tenth time she had called him tonight, yet he had not answered once. Listening to the busy tone on her phone, Haley could not help but start to worry. Could Mr. Ford still be upset about what happened during the day? She had not meant to upset him. At that time, her emotions were complicated, and she did not know how to face him. So when he approached, she instinctively dodged. In fact, in the split second when she met Shane's surprised gaze, she regretted it a bit. Regardless of whether Shane had a so-called unrequited love, at least she was his legal wife now. She should clarify things. If Shane really had feelings for someone else, then at least he should be honest with her. But if not...If not, what should she do? Haley did not dare to think about it, nor did she dare to hope. She closed her e

Upon hearing Shane's response, Haley felt like crying but could not shed a tear. Still, she attempted to reason with him, "Mr. Ford, I can hardly breathe. Could you loosen your grip a bit?" Shane slowly loosened his arms slightly but continued to hold her tightly, showing no intention of letting go. Haley sighed inwardly. If it weren't for the strong smell of alcohol emanating from him, she would have suspected that Shane was feigning drunkenness. Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Could we at least sit on the couch? My legs are getting tired." Finally, Shane reluctantly lifted his face from Haley's shoulder. His gaze shifted downwards and he noticed Haley standing barefoot on the cold floor, causing his expression to soften. His eyes lingered on her fair and delicate feet for a while before he cleared his throat and bent down to scoop her up into his arms. As her body suddenly lifted off the ground, Haley could not help but gasp nervously, clutching onto Shane's neck tigh

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
