Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 198
Haley went back to check the mirror and was surprised to find that the lipstick she had just applied had been completely consumed by Shane. She felt torn between anger and annoyance for a moment. Giving Shane a stern look, she retrieved her lipstick, intending to reapply it. However, Shane abruptly seized her hand and returned the lipstick, remarking, "Don't bother, you look good as you are.""But how can I not?" Haley countered. "This gown is all about being sexy, and not wearing lipstick would make the makeup look a bit dull."Shane did not understand makeup. For him, whether or not to wear lipstick made no difference at all. He just said what he thought, which earned him a disdainful eye-roll from his darling wife."You're such a typical guy, of course, you wouldn't get it."Shane awkwardly rubbed his nose and persisted, "Letting you wear this gown is already pushing my limits, so no lipstick."Haley paused for a moment, curious, "Why don't you want me to wear lipstick?""If

Haley originally just wanted Shane to tone it down a bit, but she did not expect him to actually apologize.Feeling a tad guilty all of a sudden, she fluttered her long lashes and murmured, "Hmm, just be more mindful next time."And with that, she wriggled out of Shane's embrace like a slippery fish and headed towards the door.Shane did not catch on at all. At that moment, her lips were subtly upturned, suggesting she was in quite a good mood.Shaking his head in resignation, Shane trailed after her.Dean sat in the car, watching as Haley stepped out of the villa in her evening gown. There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes.This gown had been designed by one of the most renowned international designers, whom he had personally reached out to. So, he had seen the design sketches and the finished product even before Shane did.Back then, he already found the gown beautiful, but now, seeing Haley wearing it, he felt even more confident in his eye for beauty.Haley was simply m

Shane could not resist smiling as he tried to guess what Haley was thinking. Leaning in, he whispered, "You know, as husband and wife, we have this special bond. It's like I can read your mind in a heartbeat."Haley was not buying it. "Then why can't I do the same with you?"Taking Haley's delicate hand, Shane placed it over his heart. His lips curved slightly as he explained, "Maybe it's about feeling it with the heart. So, Haley, to understand my thoughts, you have to reciprocate genuinely with your own."Haley could not help but find Shane's mix of humor and seriousness amusing. Who would have thought that the seemingly reserved CEO had this side to him? If his admirers saw this, they would be stunned, wouldn't they?Seeing Haley finally smile, Shane's deep eyes softened with tenderness. "Now, can you tell me what you were thinking just now?"Haley pursed her lips and admitted, "This gown is too sexy, it's a style I've never tried before, so I'm a bit nervous."Shane was taken

He always understood that Haley would put up a strong front for everyone, but deep down, she was more fragile than anyone realized. He hoped she could embrace the spirited and playful nature she had as a child, rather than burying it beneath a facade of obedience and maturity. It brought him joy to see Haley open up and show her true self around him, a sign of the trust she had in him.**At the Cloud Court Hotel, Evelyn warmly welcomed every guest attending the birthday party, her face lit up with a radiant smile. Evelyn felt immensely satisfied as people extended their birthday wishes to her.Stella stood beside her, her graceful presence earning her much admiration. Some subtly inquired about Stella's marital status.Although Stella was not directly related to the Ford family by blood, everyone in the circle knew she had been raised by them for years. Unfortunately, with no daughters in the Ford family, considering Stella was not a bad choice. Leveraging this opportunity to conn

With her reminder, Joe instantly snapped out of it, suppressing the resentment in his heart."How could that be? This was personally entrusted to me by your family's James. He insisted I must come, saying we're practically family now. Why bother getting hung up on these trivial matters?"He emphasized "practically family" deliberately, ensuring everyone present caught wind of it. Some cast suggestive glances at Xena, teasing, "Looks like James is about to tie the knot with Xena!"Before Evelyn could speak, Joe interjected with a cheerful smile, "It's too early for that!"With that sentence, all the guests present became more convinced that James and Xena were indeed going to wed. They congratulated them with smiles."Joe, Evelyn, when the wedding is confirmed in the future, remember to invite us to share in the joy!"Joe graciously accepted each invitation, his satisfaction evident.Evelyn was grinding her teeth, almost itching to give Joe a slap. He must be doing this on purp

Shane seemed to sense her emotions, tightly holding her hand and gently caressing the back of it with his thumb, silently comforting her.Haley met his gaze, and inexplicably felt much more relaxed, a hint of a charming smile appearing on her lips.Suddenly, someone in the crowd recognized Haley's identity and could not help but exclaim, "Isn't she the one who was abandoned by James? How dare she show her face here!"Upon hearing this, Shane's dark gaze coldly swept towards the speaker, his eyes sharp as blades.The speaker was immediately startled and awkwardly shut her mouth, taking several steps back.Watching the person retreat in fear, Shane could not help but chuckle.In full view of everyone, he reached out and pulled Haley's slender and delicate waist, pulling her into his embrace."Let me introduce you to my wife, Haley. From here on out, show her some respect when you talk. You all should be familiar with how I handle things. If I catch wind of any disrespect towards h

As they left, the previously quiet crowd erupted into a flurry of gossip. No one could believe what they had just witnessed."Wasn't Haley supposed to be engaged to James? How did she become Mr. Ford's wife?""This is just absurd! They're messing with the hierarchy.""Didn't they say James was involved with Xena? If Mr. Ford really married Haley, would Mrs. Ford Sr. allow Xena to marry into the family?"...Watching the guests chatter, Evelyn was so furious she felt like she might explode. The perfectly good party had been ruined by Shane and Haley!It was absolutely despicable!"No, I have to teach Haley a lesson, let her know what I'm capable of!"Evelyn, in her high heels, was about to storm over to confront Haley when Stella intervened just in time."Evelyn, there are so many distinguished guests at the party. It wouldn't be good for your reputation if things got out of hand. Let's talk after the party."Evelyn had acted impulsively, but Stella's words quickly calmed her

Haley's eyes widened with surprise. "Why would you say that?"Despite Stella's strong fixation on Shane, even directing her anger towards her, why was Henry able to see through it all? Weren't many men considered to lack the ability to perceive such matters?Henry flashed a bright smile, running his hand through his hair, exuding a charming aura. "Haley, that's just prejudice! Not all men are clueless about women."He even winked at Haley after saying that.Haley was speechless.Why was he boasting now?But she knew in her heart that Henry was kindly reminding her. Thus she smiled and nodded, promising herself to be more careful.Henry finally relaxed and led Zac away.Usually, he would not bother with such trivial matters, but since Haley was Shane's wife, he could not just ignore it.More importantly, he could get along well with Haley.If it weren't for Evelyn and James snatching the engagement, perhaps Haley and Shane would have been together long ago.He heard that Sh

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
