"You..."James furrowed his brows, about to interject, when a voice filled with authority echoed from upstairs."What's this? You are not even part of our Ford family, yet you're already meddling in our affairs?"Both James and Xena's hearts skipped a beat as they instinctively looked up to see Mrs. Ford Sr. slowly emerging from the upper floor.Xena's face turned pale in an instant as she hastily tried to explain, "Grandma, I was just speaking casually. I didn't mean anything else."Mrs. Ford Sr. let out a disdainful hum, her shrewd eyes seeming to have already pierced through everything.Xena met her gaze and could not help but feel a twinge of guilt.She feared that Mrs. Ford Sr. would have a negative impression of her because of what happened just now, so she quickly took out the gifts she had bought on the way."Grandma, these are nutritional supplements I specifically bought for you. You must take care of your health, otherwise both James and I will worry."Mrs. Ford Sr.

Upon hearing that James had brought Xena to the Ford family, Evelyn could not sit still. She hurried over, her anger boiling inside her, almost ready to burst out. Seeing Evelyn's furious appearance, Xena shrank back into James's embrace, frightened. James quickly hugged her, shielding her, and frowned at Evelyn. "Mom, it's me who brought Xena home. It's not her fault.""And now you're defending her? Who am I doing this for?" Evelyn could not believe it. Why would her son fall for Xena as if he were enchanted? A woman would understand another woman best, and Evelyn could tell at a glance that Xena was not as innocent and kind as she appeared. On the contrary, she was a cunning woman, even skilled at appearing weak in front of men to win their sympathy. This was the type of woman Evelyn had always looked down upon. But unfortunately, her beloved son had fallen for her. James remained silent, but he kept Xena protected in his embrace, making his stance clear. Unable to do anyt

James was frightened and quickly released Xena's hand, walking up to Evelyn."Mom, please don't get yourself worked up."Evelyn shook off James's hand, pouting stubbornly. "Don't touch me. Just go with that little vixen. You don't care if I live or die anyway."James sighed helplessly and apologized to Evelyn, "Mom, I'm sorry."Evelyn took the water brought by the helper and swallowed a blood pressure pill, calming down slightly. She said to James, "It's either her or me. You choose.""Mom, are you trying to put me in a tough spot?" James was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. One was his own biological mother who loved and cared for him, and the other was a woman who had suffered a lot to be with him. Whichever he gave up, he would be devastated.He sought help from his grandmother, who had been silent all along. "Grandma, please talk to Mom."Mrs. Ford Sr. watched the scene coldly and said in a chilly tone, "I can't persuade her. This is your family's affair. You sho

The next day, Haley woke up to a powerful, impossible-to-ignore gaze. She opened her eyes, turned her head, and found Shane lying on the bed, propped up on his arm, staring at her without blinking.Seeing her awake, Shane's lips curved into a slight smile. "Good morning, girlfriend."His "girlfriend" directly reminded Haley of everything that happened yesterday. For some reason, her cheeks flushed red, and she pursed her rosy lips, glaring at him with a hint of annoyance."Don't call me that randomly! Who said I'm your girlfriend?"Shane grabbed her delicate, fair wrist and raised an eyebrow. "If not 'girlfriend,' then what? Wife?"As he spoke, he deliberately leaned closer, his tone casual but carrying a magnetic laziness. Plus, just waking up, his voice was slightly husky, making him even more enticing.Hearing his teasing words full of smiles, Haley's cheeks blushed uncontrollably once again. She quickly pulled the quilt over her face, covering it tightly, and muttered softly,

In fact, there was even a little bit of liking. His kiss and his demeanor seemed somewhat different, but it seemed like this was the most authentic version of him, ingrained in his very being. Those gentle and modest appearances were merely a facade.Haley could not tell how long it had been, but she felt her breath becoming difficult, her lips and tongue tingling slightly, before Shane finally let her go.However, Shane did not immediately get up, his hand still firmly holding her slender waist.Disheveled, his hot breath cascaded over Haley's sensitive neck and behind her ears, sending tingles down her spine like electric currents. Haley could not help but instinctively pull back, attempting to hide, but found herself completely immobile.She moved slightly, only to hear Shane's deep voice, "Don't move."His voice was even hoarser than before, as if he were restraining something.Haley instinctively felt the danger, her body stiffened, and she dared not move.After a long

Because of the morning kiss, Shane's mood remained pleasantly uplifted throughout the day. Even when his subordinates occasionally misspoke during meetings or filled in data incorrectly on reports, he did not get angry. He even smiled and said to them, "Pay attention next time."He thought he was showing his gentle side, but little did he know that his unusual behavior had put the entire company on edge for the whole day. Everyone in the company, from top to bottom, tiptoed around, afraid to make any mistakes. Even those who usually loved gossiping were now diligently focused on their work, fearing that Shane might be playing possum, waiting for them to drop their guard so he could catch them in the act.Perhaps their anxiety was too obvious because even Shane noticed. He was surprised to find that all the employees in the company today were especially cautious, greeting him quickly before scurrying away.He curiously looked at Dean and asked, "Do I look scary today?"Dean hurr

Unable to resist his curiosity, he tentatively pressed on, "Is it related to Madam?"Shane's handsome face seemed to stiffen for a moment, then he nodded.Dean instantly displayed a knowing expression. He knew it.Other than Madam, who else in this world could make Mr. Ford show such an expression?"Mr. Ford, why not tell me about it? Maybe I can help!" Dean suggested.After a moment of thought, Shane found the suggestion reasonable and decided to voice his doubts, "I want to get a gift for Haley. What do you think would be good?"Dean pondered for a moment before asking, "Does it have any special significance?"Seeing Shane's puzzled expression, he quickly clarified, "Like for a birthday, Valentine's Day, or an anniversary. Couples usually exchange gifts on those occasions."Shane shook his head, "There's no special significance, I just want to give her something, that's all."He had never been one for formalities and had never understood the significance of those holidays.

At the Nightshade Bar, Shane passed through the noisy ground floor lobby and took the elevator straight up to the third floor. This club was owned by Henry, and Shane had shares in it, so their private room had long been reserved. They would choose this place Every time they gathered.Upstairs, the environment was quiet, and privacy was paramount. It was their own turf, so there was no concern about interruptions.After Shane ascended the stairs, he promptly swung open the door to the private room. Upon glimpsing the scene within, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.Henry and Zac were seated on the sofa, indulging in drinks. Henry had a woman on each side, serving him. The two women were provocatively dressed, boasting alluring figures and adorned with heavy makeup. Their gazes filled with haze and allure as their ample bosoms brushed against Henry's body.Henry sat in the middle, holding a tall glass in his fair and slender hand, gently swaying it. The liquor in the glass appea

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,
Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 898
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
