When they got home, the butler came out to greet them respectfully, "Sir, Ma'am, you must be exhausted after such a busy day. Dinner is ready.""Thank you, Bob," Haley said with a smile, holding Shane's hand as they walked inside. "Hurry up, my stomach has been growling for a while."Shane had no choice but to quicken his pace to keep up. Seeing them return, the helpers hurried to set the table with the prepared dishes.Haley eagerly sat down and started eating right away. The chef watched with satisfaction.Before Haley moved in, he had doubted his culinary skills. Shane only cared about eating enough to stay full and never commented on the taste. Whenever the chef asked if there was anything he could improve, Shane would always say it was fine and to keep up the good work, which left the chef feeling a bit defeated.But Haley was different. Even though she ate in small bites and did not have a large appetite, she always enjoyed her meals. She would seriously critique the dishe
Shane did not move an inch. "You came to me willingly. How could I possibly let go?"Haley pouted in displeasure. She had just wanted to tease Shane a little, but it turned out she was the one at a disadvantage.The next second, a pair of large hands pinched her cheeks, distorting her delicate face."Mmm..." Haley's soft, pink lips were forced into a pout, making her look adorable.Unable to resist, Shane lowered his head and gave her lips a quick peck. Because she had just had strawberry juice, her lips still carried its sweet flavor. Just one taste was enough to make him crave more.Being a man of action, Shane did what he wanted without hesitation. He let go of her cheeks and instead cupped the back of her head. He leaned in, and his passionate kiss engulfed Haley, carrying a force that brooked no resistance.Haley had not expected Shane to be so shameless. A simple kiss was not enough for him. He wanted more. Her eyes widened in anger, silently expressing her displeasure. S
Haley stood up, not interested in finishing her meal, and pulled him upstairs.Shane obediently followed her.The helpers cleaning nearby noticed the couple holding hands and couldn't help but remark, "Their relationship is really wonderful!"They had heard that in wealthy families, there were constant fights over inheritance, and many marriages were just business arrangements without any real feelings. Some rich men even had numerous affairs and illegitimate children everywhere.But since Haley and Shane got married, they had never seen them argue. Haley had a good temper, and her occasional little whims only made her more endearing. Shane was even more accommodating. Since they got married, Shane would come home on time every day, unless he had unavoidable work. He truly embodied the ideal of a perfect family man down to his very core.This level of commitment was enviable even for ordinary families. Haley and Shane were completely unaware that they had become the epitome of a
Shane had a tall, lean figure with no excess fat, even more perfect than those male models. It would be a shame to keep such a good body covered up.Shane removed his fingers from the buttons and looked at her with a smile. "You do it.""Fine, I'll do it. It's just taking off a shirt, no big deal!"Haley was not shy at all. She hummed lightly and stood on tiptoe to seriously unbutton his shirt. However, the buttons on Shane's custom-made shirt were difficult to undo and required a lot of patience.Under his intense, burning gaze, Haley's heart began to race. The more flustered she became, the clumsier her hands grew. After several minutes of fumbling, she finally managed to undo the first button.Shane stood still, watching her. Haley's soft little face was slightly puffed up, her expression focused and serious. Her long eyelashes trembled nervously like butterfly wings.In the end, he could not bear to watch her struggle. He wrapped one arm around her slender waist to support he
It might be hard to believe, but Shane, who was always so composed in the business world and never even furrowed his brows during the toughest negotiations, could never be completely confident when it came to Haley.He knew better than anyone that their marriage did not start out of love. Sometimes, he could not help but wonder if Haley truly loved him. This obsessive thought made him want to keep her by his side at all times, never letting her go anywhere. But logic told him that this was wrong.So he constantly tried to suppress this emotion, unsure of how to handle it. He pulled Haley into his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder and gently nuzzling her. "Haley, promise me you'll never leave me, okay?"Haley's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes were filled with confusion. She did not understand why Shane's mood suddenly turned somber, but she firmly reassured him, "I will never leave you."It was her Mr. Ford who took her home during her most desperate times, who
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up. The thin blanket slid off her shoulders, revealing her milky white, smooth skin and delicate collarbones. Even without makeup, her face was flawless, with a hint of rosy blush from just waking up, making her look radiantly beautiful.After a simple wash, she picked a long dress from the closet and put it on. Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, gently swaying with her movements. The elegant swan-like neck, hidden beneath her dark hair, peeked through now and then. Even just standing there, she seemed to glow.As she descended the stairs, she heard the butler's reprimanding voice and curiously looked toward the living room.Downstairs, all the helpers were lined up in three rows. The butler stood at the front, impeccably dressed in a black suit, with a stern expression. He was scolding the staff, "From now on, if I find anyone entering Mr. Ford and madam's room without permission, they will not be spared.""Bob, what are you
After breakfast, Haley made some final touches to her sketches from the previous night. She did not head to the office until the afternoon. Shane was always worried about her driving alone, so he assigned a driver to her. If he was unavailable, the driver would take care of all her transportation needs. Because of this, it did not take long for everyone at JY to know just how much Shane doted on Haley.Not only the employees at JY, but even those at Ford Corporation noticed the change. If it was surprising that the workaholic Shane started leaving work on time after getting married, it was even more astonishing that he now left early. This was unheard of for someone like Shane!At first, no one could believe it, because everyone knew how much their president loved his work. But ever since he got married, his wife had taken the top spot in his heart, pushing work to second place.That evening, Shane was supposed to attend a dinner with some of Jasper City's top business leaders.
In fact, everyone had long noticed that there seemed to be constant tension between William and Haley. Although Haley usually treated William with professional courtesy, it was strictly limited to work. Outside of that, she often had an attitude that practically screamed, "Stay away from me."Yet, for some reason, William kept trying to get close to her.In the conference room, Haley sat back in her chair, her gaze cool as she looked at William. "Go ahead, what do you want?""Miss Haley, there's no need to act like I'm a threat. I'm not going to eat you," William said, his hands casually resting on the table, a smile playing on his lips. When he smiled, his whole demeanor seemed gentle, and his eyes appeared harmless. But Haley knew better that this was all just a facade."I don't have time for small talk. If you have something to say, get to the point," Haley replied, tapping her pen lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound.William did not hesitate and said, "I just want
