The car quickly arrived at the Ford residence, and the two bodyguards escorted Stella inside, into the living room.

Shane and Haley were already there. Evelyn's eyes were red from crying. The moment she saw Stella, she rushed forward, pushing the bodyguards aside.

"Stella, my dear Stella, you've been wronged!"

"Evelyn..."

Shane frowned, interrupting their tearful reunion, his voice cold. "Now that everyone's here, let's begin."

Hearing his chilling tone, Stella could not help but shiver. She instinctively looked towards Shane and saw him staring at her with a smirk.

She quickly rushed over and knelt in front of Shane, pleading bitterly, "Mr. Ford, I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, please spare me."

"Oh? Where were you wrong?" Shane asked coldly.

Stella sniffled and said, "Mr. Ford, I just... I love you too much. I was foolish for trying to win you over using such methods. I'm sorry."

"Love?" Haley sneered. "Stella, do you even understand what love is? Do you know y

    Stella’s voice trembled with fear. Ignoring her, Shane turned to the waiter and asked, "What about you? Do you recognize her?"The waiter instinctively lifted his gaze, meeting Shane's icy, penetrating stare, which sent shivers down his spine. At the same time, memories of being beaten by the bodyguards flashed involuntarily through his mind. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees abruptly."I... I do recognize her. That night, she gave me a large sum of money to serve you a drink.""You're lying! Don't you dare slander me!" Stella growled angrily, her eyes burning with resentment as she glared at him."I'm not slandering you. The check you gave me is still in my pocket at home!" The waiter spoke while pulling out a crumpled check from his pocket.The amount written on it was sixty thousand.Although insignificant to the top-tier Ford family, this sum represented a year or even several years' worth of salary for an ordinary person.Seeing the check, Stella felt utter

    Less than five minutes after the medication took effect, Stella could not bear it anymore. She felt like she was being roasted over a fire, her whole body uncomfortably hot. Gradually, her consciousness began to blur, and she lost control of her limbs. She reached out to pull at her clothes, trying to alleviate the heat inside her.Evelyn was frightened by her actions and quickly stopped her, saying, "Stella, I've asked someone to get ice cubes. Just hold on a little longer.""Evelyn, I feel terrible..." Stella's heart was full of grievance and unwillingness. Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes and slowly streamed down her cheeks.Seeing this, Evelyn felt even more distressed. She had done everything she could, but Shane's heart was as hard as a stone, refusing to relent and allow her to call a doctor.In just fifteen minutes, Stella had scratched herself several times, her hair in disarray. Sweat soaked her hair, dripping down her strands. Her appearance was simply too pi

    Mrs. Ford Sr. nodded. "Shane has always been reserved, and he's had his share of hardships since childhood. He's been keeping his emotions bottled up for years, but now he's slowly opening up. As his mother, I can't afford to lag behind."The butler understood. "No wonder you didn't stop today's commotion."Mrs. Ford Sr. smiled but said nothing.Downstairs, Shane held Haley's hand and stood up. "Now that everything's resolved, let's go.""Okay," Haley obediently agreed, following closely behind him.Once they were in the car, Shane noticed her lack of enthusiasm. "Are you scared?"Haley snapped back to reality and shook her head lightly. "No, I was just thinking about something.""What is it? Tell me," Shane prompted.Haley glanced at him, hesitated, and then said, "Please don't be angry when I say this.""Just say it," Shane replied.Haley said, "Stella is beautiful, talented, and she's so fond of you. When you were looking to get married, why didn't you consider her?"Shan

    After finishing his sentence, Shane lowered his gaze to Haley, noticing her changing expressions with some amusement. He thought to himself, "That little girl, what's going on in her head?" He gently tapped her forehead, "Back to the real world. Had enough kisses, or should I keep going?"Haley quickly covered her lips with her hand, blocking Shane's gaze. "Enough! No more!" she declared.Shane could not help but laugh at Haley's immediate response. Shane chuckled softly, returning to his seat and starting the engine again.Haley breathed a sigh of relief, rolling down the car window to get some fresh air. The gentle breeze swept across her face, dispersing the lingering heat.Back at the Violet Grove, Shane turned to Haley. "I'll go to the study to take care of some work. Let the kitchen know what you'd like for dinner.""Okay," Haley nodded obediently.Seeing her obedient demeanor, Shane could not resist reaching out to ruffle her hair.Half a minute later, Haley shook her

    "Guess you haven't fallen for someone yet. You'll understand when you do," Shane remarked.Henry shrugged off the comment, confident it would not happen to him. Little did he know, in the not-so-distant future, he would come to grasp the true meaning of those words when faced with unrequited love.But that was a tale for another day.Henry, being nosy, prodded, "It's been over a month since you and Haley tied the knot, and you still haven't sealed the deal. Having performance issues, huh?"Shane's response was silence.Unaware of the danger, Henry pressed on, teasingly pushing the boundaries."Oh, forgot you're still a virgin. Need some pointers? Maybe I should share some resources to help you learn?"Shane's expression darkened, his teeth gritted, "Henry, that piece of land you wanted? Gone. The limited-edition luxury sports car you had your eye on? Gone too."Henry was speechless. He realized he had crossed a line.Instantly, he backtracked, "Shane, my bad! Forgive me! I was

    Shane, however, thought that Haley had really misunderstood, hastily explaining, "I can, don't believe me? I can prove it to you."As soon as he finished speaking, he realized how inappropriate it sounded. It seemed like he was overly eager.Haley crossed her arms, calmly looking at him, saying, "No wonder you're so skilled at kissing, you must be quite experienced."Shane broke out in a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, "No, it's not like that. This is the first time I clicked on those videos. You came in just as I clicked, I can swear that my first kiss was with you."Haley's heart blossomed with joy, but she still wore a skeptical expression. "Really?""Really!"Having lived thirty years, he had never felt so flustered before. He worried that Haley might misunderstand, so he tried his best to disassociate himself from those videos while silently cursing Henry hundreds of times.Haley's delicate nose wrinkled slightly, asking, "Then why are you so skilled?"When Shane kiss

    For her, these words meant complete trust, a willingness to surrender herself entirely.Shane naturally understood the weight of these words better than anyone else. He was stunned for a moment, his mind buzzing as if blank. Then, a wave of joy washed over him. His body reacted before his brain, taking the lead to kiss Haley's lips. His lips trembled slightly from excitement. Time seemed to blur for Haley, feeling dizzy and weak in the legs. If it weren't for Shane holding her waist, she might have collapsed. Shane was not faring much better, his breathing erratic, forehead damp with sweat. The shirt, previously buttoned to the top, was now wrinkled in a mess. He bent down, scooping Haley into his arms and striding towards the bedroom. Placing her on the soft bed, Haley felt a sudden nervousness about what was to come. Shane hovered over her, his deep dark eyes fixed on her. His voice hoarse, he asked, "Haley, are you really sure? Once we proceed, there's no turning back."

    After hanging up the phone, Shane returned to the bed, but did not lie down. He was afraid that if he got too close to Haley, he would not be able to control himself. Since getting married, he and Haley had been sharing the same bed, and only he knew how much torment he endured. Although Haley's sleeping posture was very good, she often accidentally touched his body. Almost every day after Haley fell asleep, he had to take a cold shower. He worried that continuing like this would cause problems. But everything was worth it. Haley had no idea about all the thoughts going through his mind. She recalled her initiative just now and wished she could find a hole to hide in. She regretted her boldness just now. Was she too unreserved? However, she did not regret it. After spending this time together, she was sure that Shane was a responsible and trustworthy person. She wanted to take a chance. She could not just enjoy the benefits Shane brought without giving anything in return.

    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
