Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 78
Today, Xena felt deeply wounded after the humiliation from Haley. Upon returning home, she locked herself in her room, sinking into her bed, shedding tears of both frustration and sorrow.Why couldn't that foolish Riley handle things more discreetly? It left Xena unable to hold her head high in front of Haley, and she was sure the principal's opinion of her had plummeted.But what stung the most was Shane's behavior. Xena had assumed that, as a woman James deeply loved, Shane would afford her some respect. Yet, she never anticipated his cold indifference. What fueled her resentment even further was his preferential treatment of Haley.As Xena wallowed in her misery, her phone suddenly rang. Without bothering to check, she promptly ended the call. She was feeling annoyed now and didn't want to answer any calls. But unexpectedly, shortly after she hung up, the phone rang again, one after another, as if it wouldn't stop until she picked up.The ringing irritated Xena so much that

Zoe was setting the dinner table when she heard his remark. She looked up and playfully scolded him, "You're my husband, of course, I'll take care of you."Joe chuckled heartily, feeling content.Xena sighed with emotion, "Mom, Dad, your relationship is really amazing. When Dad wasn't around when I was little, I always wished for our family to reunite. Now it's finally happened."Joe recalled the past and felt a pang of guilt. He tightly grasped Zoe and Xena's hands, expressing, "I'm sorry for what happened before. I made you both suffer."Zoe shook her head, her eyes slightly teary. "Why bring up the past? It's all behind us now."After dinner, Joe noticed Xena sitting on the sofa lost in thought, her expression somewhat melancholic. He asked in confusion, "Xena, is something on your mind?"Xena snapped out of her daze, a hint of panic flickering in her eyes, but she vigorously shook her head. "No, nothing's wrong."Joe's suspicions were further confirmed by her evasive behavio

As Xena saw Joe about to dial, her eyelid twitched, and she intervened swiftly. "Hold on. There's no need for that. The Ford family has stepped in. Making a call won't change anything."If Joe proceeded with the call and got the truth from the principal, Xena feared it would only stir up trouble.She couldn't afford to let that happen."The Ford family?" Joe's hand paused as he dialed the phone, feeling somewhat surprised.Xena nodded knowingly. "Haley sought Shane Ford's help. Otherwise, how else would Riley end up facing disciplinary action?"Joe put down the phone, dismissing the idea of calling.At the same time, he felt a twinge of doubt.When had Haley connected with Shane? And why had she kept it from him?Zoe also felt uneasy and nudged Xena gently. "Xena, you should apologize to Haley tomorrow. Offending the Ford family wouldn't be wise."With Shane's influence in Jasper City, handling the Carter family would be a walk in the park.Joe, feeling displeased, questioned

Finally, she stressed, "I don't know when Haley got so close to Shane. Somehow, she managed to leverage him to pressure the school for Riley. Riley really didn't mean any harm..."Hearing her sobbing uncontrollably, James's heart clenched painfully. He wished he could instantly teleport back to Xena's side, hold her tightly, and comfort her.He whispered softly, "Xena, please don't cry. My uncle isn't someone who can't tell right from wrong. Let me make a call and find out what's going on.""No, James, I don't want you to feel upset because of me and your uncle. I don't know what Haley said to him. Today, I greeted him, but he completely ignored me."Xena sat on the bed, tears flowing down her cheeks, her voice choked with emotion, sounding extremely aggrieved.On the other end of the line, James heard her heart-wrenching sobs, and it tore at his own heart. He gently reassured her, "Xena, it's alright. You're so kind and gentle. My uncle will surely like you. I'll talk to him late

On the other hand, James returned Huxley's phone and stated, "Take me to find Haley. I need to call off the engagement!"Huxley accepted his phone back, hesitated momentarily, and inquired, "Are you absolutely certain about this? Breaking off an engagement is a serious matter."Though he knew he shouldn't interfere in others' romantic affairs, he couldn't shake the feeling that Haley hadn't done anything wrong. Wasn't it unfair for someone who wasn't loved to suffer such humiliation?But James was too furious to entertain such thoughts at the moment. He couldn't delay any longer. He was determined to provide Xena with a stable family and couldn't bear to witness her suffer any longer."Quit the nonsense, just take me there. If you're not up for it, lend me some cash, and I'll grab a cab."Initially, Huxley wanted to offer further advice, but upon seeing James's expression, he immediately abandoned the idea of persuasion. Suddenly, he pondered, perhaps calling off the engagemen

Haley mercilessly turned him down.James glanced at Huxley beside him, feeling embarrassed as his expression darkened. "Some things can't be resolved over the phone. Let's schedule a meeting and discuss it face to face."His tone was firm and authoritative, with a hint of command.Haley paused for a moment and questioned, "You don't feel repulsed or disgusted by seeing me now?"James was momentarily taken aback, suddenly recalling the many insults he had hurled at Haley in the group chat to vent his anger. He felt his face flush with embarrassment."I'm sorry, can we move forward from here?"A man who had been pampered and arrogant, enjoying the favor of the Ford family, was now humbled in the presence of a woman for the first time.He felt deeply ashamed, wishing he could disappear. Fortunately, besides Huxley, there was no one else around. Otherwise, wouldn't he be the butt of everyone's jokes?Haley sneered, her tone icy and indifferent. "If an apology lacks sincerity, then

James was left speechless, her words catching him off guard."Let's tackle one issue at a time. I understand I've wronged you, but the recording doesn't just tarnish my reputation—it affects the Ford family's as well. Could you consider deleting it?"Knowing Haley didn't respond well to force, he softened his approach.Haley smirked, seeing through his intentions. "Do you think bringing up the Ford family will make me compromise?""Then tell me, what would it take for you to delete the recording?""I've said it before, compensate me for the mental distress and lost years of my youth—10 million, not a cent less."James gasped. "Are you serious? 10 million? Why not just rob a bank?"While he was taken aback, Haley remained surprisingly calm.She spoke slowly, "We've been engaged for 12 years now. In those 12 years, I've never betrayed our engagement. But what have you done?"Sensing she was about to continue, James hastily cut her off. "Enough, I'll compensate you, isn't that en

Haley slowly shook her head, choosing to remain silent. James... was beyond help. She couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore. It was only out of past sentiment that she reminded him in the end, "James, I hope you won't regret your current choices in the future."Furrowing his brows, James glanced blankly at Huxley beside him. What did that mean? Why couldn't he understand it at all? Huxley shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand it either. James had no choice but to decide to personally visit Jasper City University tomorrow. Ever since getting caught red-handed in that scandal, he couldn't look Haley in the eye. Once he clarified the truth, he was determined to redeem himself in her eyes!"There's one more thing. Have you been getting close to Shane recently?"Haley was about to hang up the call but she hesitated for a moment. A faintly mocking smile forming at the corner of her lips. "That's my personal business. Why does it concern you?"James felt a lump in his

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
