The dinner featured an array of sumptuous dishes prepared by some of the nation's top chefs. One of the head chefs came from a long line of top-notch chefs who had cooked for royalty, ensuring a meal of the highest caliber.Haley enjoyed the feast, frequently serving food to Mr. Fisher Sr., her parents, and Shane. However, the rest of the family found the meal less enjoyable, as their minds were preoccupied with frustration and jealousy. Previously, with Charles not having any children, the second and third branches of the family had been plotting to have their sons adopted by him. This way, if Charles ever regained his position as the head of the Fisher family, the title would eventually pass to their sons. That would make them the ultimate winners in life!But now, Charles had suddenly acknowledged a daughter from seemingly nowhere, shattering their schemes. Their frustration was palpable.Charles, fully aware of their intentions, chose to maintain the façade of harmony for Mr.
Gaius was just about to speak when he heard Haley's cute yet fierce voice from inside, "None of your business!"Picking up on the hostility in her tone, Gaius raised an eyebrow and asked Ken, "What did you do?"Ken's chest tightened, almost causing him to choke. Haley opened the door slightly, poking her head out to accuse, "Cousin, he harassed me and my friend in public, and even said he wanted to sleep with me!"Her calling him "Cousin" was sweet and clear, with a hint of softness. Gaius immediately felt a surge of responsibility and glared at Ken with a fierce look. "Is what Haley said true?"Ken pressed his lips together in silence, implicitly admitting it. Gaius let out a cold laugh and warned, "Haley is our sister. From now on, control yourself. If you do this again, I won't let you off!"Ken, suppressing his emotions, retorted with defiance, "And what if I don't?"Gaius responded calmly, "If I can't deal with you, I'll have Uncle and Grandpa handle it." No man could tolera
Charles glanced at the mother and son crying on the floor, then turned to Haley, looking her over. "What happened?"Facing his expressionless face, Haley felt a bit guilty. She pointed at Ken and accused, "Dad, a few days ago, this guy harassed me and my friend while we were out shopping. He even said he wanted to sleep with me!"As she spoke, she felt even angrier and gave Ken a hard kick in front of everyone. "You jerk! All you think with is your lower half! I hope this kicks it out of commission! Let's see how you go around bothering young women now!"Hearing this, Charles's expression darkened, looking as if it could kill. His eyes narrowed, and the dangerous glint in them made Ken shudder and swallow nervously."Uncle, let me explain..." Ken started.Charles did not give him a chance to speak. "Take him to the study and have him reflect on his actions," he ordered sternly.Ken's heart sank. The strict family rules of the Fishers made reflecting in the study a severe punishme
Yvonne smiled as she ruffled Haley's hair, her voice gentle, "Be good and go home to sleep. We'll see each other again tomorrow."Yvonne thought to herself, "What do you do when your daughter is so clingy? You spoil her, of course!""Okay," Haley reluctantly lifted her head from Yvonne's shoulder, looking up at her with big, hopeful eyes, "But, Mom, remember to miss me.""Of course, I will."Only then did Haley reluctantly say goodbye to Yvonne. As Haley got out of the car, Charles couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. His daughter hadn't even pouted or shown any sign of affection towards him. She had thanked him for having her back at the family gathering, but now she seemed to have forgotten about him completely!Just as he was sulking, there was a knock on the driver’s side window. He turned his head to see Haley standing there, flashing a sweet, innocent smile. She looked like a ray of sunshine, warming his heart. When he was about to lower the window to ask what was
The veins on Shane's hand bulged as he struggled to control his surging desire. The kiss seemed to last an eternity, and Haley found herself struggling to breathe. She pushed against Shane's chest, prompting him to finally stop. Resting his forehead against hers, his deep eyes gleamed with a dangerous and intense light.Haley felt a sudden heat from his gaze and instinctively tried to look away. "What...what are you doing?"Her voice, now slightly hoarse from the kiss, sounded even more alluring, making Shane's heart flutter.Shane gazed at her, his Adam's apple moving up and down as he tried to hold back. "Wifey, I want you..."Haley's eyes widened, and she quickly stopped him. "No way! I'm pregnant!"Shane's deep, magnetic voice continued, coaxing her, "Wifey, don't you want me too? Hmm?"The slight upward lilt of his voice carried a teasing note, causing Haley's cheeks to flush even more. She blushed and whispered, "You're making things up. I don't!""Really? I don't believ
Haley glared at him, her heart racing. Though she felt a brief moment of weakness, she ultimately held her ground, deciding to teach this guy who didn't know when to stop a lesson.Seeing that his usual tactics weren't working, Shane rubbed his temples in frustration. The little rascal had gotten smarter and was becoming harder to appease!Shane grabbed a pillow and retreated to the far corner of the king-sized bed. The mighty CEO, who usually commanded respect and fear in the business world, was now pitifully staring at Haley, without an ounce of his intimidating aura."Do I really have to sleep in the guest room?""Yes, I mean it!" Haley said, lifting her chin defiantly.Shane slowly inched closer to her, hooking his pinky finger around hers and softening his tone. "Honey, as your husband, I feel it's my duty to stay with you at night. What if you have a bad dream and I'm not there?"Haley couldn't believe what she was hearing. Since when had Shane's face become so thick-skin
Haley took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.Shane sat beside her, his eyes fixed on her, filled with warmth and affection. He leaned in closer. "Really?"Haley quickly scooped another spoonful and brought it to his lips. "The cream is made from the freshest dairy, sweet but not cloying. The strawberries are the best variety, perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. It's better than anything I've ever had."Hearing this, Shane couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. "So, Zac's cake is the best, and mine is just average?"Haley paused, realizing that someone was feeling a bit jealous. She sighed and cupped Shane's face in her hands, tilting her head up to kiss him. "Nothing compares to what you buy for me."Her lips tasted of the sweet, creamy cake, making the kiss even more intoxicating. Shane's eyes darkened slightly, his voice growing husky. "I think so too."Seeing the tension leave his body, Haley smiled. "Want more?""You enjoy it. Don't eat too much, tho
Henry rushed upstairs, hoping to find a quiet place to calm down. To his surprise, he bumped into Shane and Haley at the top of the stairs. Shane maintained his usual stoic expression, but Haley's eyes sparkled with curiosity and amusement."Henry, well done!" Haley teased."Don't even start. I need to cool off," Henry mumbled, not daring to look at their reactions, and hurried off to his room.Watching his retreating figure, Haley and Shane exchanged amused glances and burst into laughter. "Who would have thought? The legendary playboy Henry finally met his match!" Haley chuckled.Patting Shane's arm, she said, "You go rest. I'm going to chat with Jenny."Shane frowned slightly, not wanting to be apart from Haley, but he remembered Henry's struggles and reluctantly agreed. But before she left, he reminded her, "Don't stay over there all night. Got it?"Haley smiled at his clinginess. "Why are you so clingy?"Shane pulled her into his arms, kissed her gently, and said, "On
