The mere thought of it seemed so romantic. If only someone would take her out for a candlelight dinner!

Haley couldn't help but laugh. "If you love candlelight dinners so much, you should have Dean take you out. He's saved up quite a bit working with Shane all these years."

Layla's cheeks turned bright red. "Miss Haley, don't tease me..."

Seeing her blushing face, Haley chuckled. "Alright, I'll let you off this time. Get back to work."

Feeling relieved, Layla quickly scurried away.

In the evening, Shane arrived on time to pick up Haley, and they headed to an underwater restaurant. The surroundings were made of transparent glass, with deep blue water and marine life swimming around them. The ambiance was serene and elegant, with an unmistakable touch of romance, complete with a violinist playing in the background.

Shane held Haley's hand as they followed the waiter to their table. He handed her the menu. "What would you like to eat?"

Haley glanced at the menu and casually ordered

    Three days later, Zac returned from the capital, bringing Rachel with him. When Haley and Shane arrived at the airport to pick them up, they were surprised to see Rachel."Zac, what's this about?" Haley's eyes fell on Rachel, her tone filled with confusion.Zac glanced at Rachel with a cold expression. "Explain yourself."Rachel, despite her reluctance, remembered her grandfather and uncle's warnings and suppressed her resentment and humiliation. She bowed slightly to Haley. "I'm sorry!"Her clear, loud apology echoed through the bustling airport, laced with a touch of resentment.Haley was taken aback for a moment but quickly realized what had happened. Rachel, always the haughty heiress, would only come all the way to apologize under the orders of her father and grandfather.A warm feeling surged in Haley's heart. "So this is what it feels like to be cherished by family? It's wonderful…" Haley thought to herself.Haley cleared her throat and addressed Rachel, "Miss Fisher, you

    Shane who was driving, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "Just for him? Wifey, you can't play favorites!"Haley playfully glared at him and laughed, "Don't worry, you won't be left out."Zac huffed in annoyance. "You and Haley are together all the time, and you still want to compete with me?""That's different," Shane replied softly. To him, all other men were potential rivals, especially those who easily caught Haley's attention.Zac shook his head, at a loss for words.Rachel, who had been silent until now, scoffed at their interaction. "So what if you can cook? What's the big deal? Just hire a chef. Why go to all that trouble?"Her comment instantly froze the atmosphere in the car.Zac's expression turned cold, his icy gaze fixing on Rachel. "Hire a chef? Do you have any money?"Rachel was immediately silenced, unable to retort. Although she hated to admit it, she was broke. Before coming here, her uncle had canceled all her credit cards and confiscated her allowa

    By the end of the meal, Rachel had eaten the most and even let out an uncontrollable burp. She quickly covered her mouth, embarrassed and wishing she could disappear. Fortunately, the others acted as if they hadn't noticed, continuing their conversation, which allowed Rachel to breathe a sigh of relief.Zac glanced at her discreetly, cleared his throat, and said, "I brought Rachel over here for another reason."Haley and Shane turned their attention to him.Zac continued, "Rachel studied fashion design in college, and since JY is a fashion company, our uncle hopes you can let her intern there for a while."Rachel had been pampered for over 20 years and lacked real experience. Without this, she would never truly grow. She might have wronged Haley this time, but what about the next time?The Fisher family couldn't always clean up her messes.Haley frowned slightly. "Doesn't the Fisher family have its own fashion companies? Why go through all this trouble to bring her here?"Zac

    Seeing Haley staring at her with that strange look, Rachel felt defiant. "Why are you looking at me like that? I’m going to prove you wrong. Just wait."Haley raised an eyebrow. "Alright, I’m waiting. I hope you don’t disappoint me, Miss Fisher."After registering at HR, Haley took Rachel to the design department."Everyone, please stop for a moment. This is your new colleague, Rachel Fisher. I hope you all get along well."Although Rachel often put up a tough front in front of Haley, she wasn’t completely lacking in social graces. She put away her prickly demeanor and smiled. "Hello, everyone. I’m Rachel. Please take care of me."The design department employees clapped and welcomed her. "Welcome, welcome! Miss Fisher is so beautiful!""Our design department has another beauty! Things are looking up!""Did you see her bag? It’s the latest limited edition from C. You can’t buy it even if you have the money.""Really? She must have come from a really rich family.""I’ve never he

    Haley was busy handling documents in her office while delegating tasks to her subordinates. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Layla poked her head in, her face showing clear signs of anxiety and confusion.Haley looked at her, slightly frowning. "What's going on?"Layla slowly opened the door wider, revealing a tall, lean figure behind her. "Mr. James Ford insisted on seeing you. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen."Haley's gaze fell on James, pausing briefly before she spoke to Layla. "You can go back to your work now. Remember to notify the design department to bring me the sketches I requested.""Right away!" Layla quickly left, although she would have preferred to stay and eavesdrop, work took priority.Once Layla and another subordinate left, Haley glanced at James, her voice indifferent. "What do you want?"Her eyes were calm, almost as if she were looking at a stranger. The past grievances had largely faded, and to her, James was just someone she used to kn

    After James left, Haley leaned back in her office chair, her fingers tapping lightly on the desk as she pondered. The large office was eerily quiet, and after a long while, a sigh escaped her lips.Haley picked up her phone and found Steven's number in her contacts. The phone only rang twice before it was answered, and she heard his slightly hoarse voice."Haley, why are you calling me out of the blue? Is something wrong?""No, Steven. James came to see me today."Steven fell silent, his tone becoming tense and urgent. "Did he cause trouble for you again? I'll call him back right away and give him a good scolding.""No." Haley explained softly, "He came to plead for Evelyn. I agreed."Steven tightened his grip on the phone, leaning back in the deck chair on the villa's balcony, looking somewhat dazed. If Haley were here to see him, she would notice that the once refined and well-maintained man had become gaunt, with numerous gray hairs streaking through his once jet-black hair.

    Steven's gaze fell on the hand tightly clutching his pant leg, and he frowned slightly. Ignoring Evelyn's pleas, he shook off her hand and sat down on a nearby sofa. Despite his gaunt frame, he exuded an innate elegance, a stark contrast to the disheveled, almost skeletal Evelyn. It was as if they belonged to entirely different worlds.He began to speak, his eyes drifting as if lost in memory. "Do you remember when we first met? Your cheeks would always turn red whenever you saw me. I thought, 'What an interesting girl.'"Evelyn's eyelashes fluttered at his words, involuntarily recalling her younger self. From the first time she met Steven, she knew he was different. She had made up her mind to win him over, to marry into wealth and become the envied wife of a rich man. But how could someone like him, who had seen countless women, ever choose her? To achieve her goal, she had resorted to underhanded methods.Steven continued, "I never loved you, but since I married you, I fulfil

    After the meeting ended, Haley briefly pointed out a few mistakes and areas for improvement before dismissing everyone.Layla gathered the meeting materials and placed them on Haley's desk. "Miss Haley, if there's nothing else, I'll head out for the day.""Okay, take care on your way home." Haley stayed a bit longer to finish some work. As she was preparing to leave and opened the door, she accidentally bumped into someone."Ouch..." Rachel clutched her forehead, wincing in pain. "What’s wrong with you? Why weren’t you looking? That really hurt!"Haley rubbed her own forehead, slightly exasperated. "I should ask you the same. What are you still doing here? Haven't you left for the day?"Feeling a bit guilty, Rachel stammered, "I... I was waiting to leave with you. My cousin said he'd be back late tonight, so... can I go home with you?"Haley was puzzled. "Isn't anyone home at my brother's place?"At this, Rachel puffed up in frustration. "Don't get me started. His place is so co

    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
