Charles suddenly spoke, "There's nothing left to handle in the capital. Once we finish dealing with the inheritance, take Haley back to Jasper City."

There were too many complications and grudges to deal with in the capital, and he didn’t want Haley to get involved.

Shane glanced at Haley, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I’ll follow Haley's lead. If she wants to go back, I’ll take her, no matter how hard it is. But if she wants to stay, I’ll respect her choice."

Charles was taken aback, then fell silent. He realized Haley was no longer a child and could make her own decisions. Whether she wanted to stay and help clean up the mess or go back to Jasper City for a peaceful life was up to her.

Charles sighed internally. "Fine, you young people have your own ideas. Do as you wish."

Yvonne added, "Shane, pay extra attention to Haley’s emotions these days. She’s very sensitive and tends to bottle things up. And she’s pregnant now, so prolonged emotional stress isn’t good for the baby

    Haley raised an eyebrow. "Guests? Who would be visiting at this time?" Could it be one of Grandpa’s old friends?The helper's expression turned odd, as if she wanted to say more but ultimately held back. She simply said, "You should go see for yourself."Haley exchanged a puzzled look with Shane. "Let's go check it out," Shane suggested.Downstairs, Charles and Yvonne sat on the sofa, facing a young, beautiful woman and her equally attractive daughter. Charles asked with a blank expression, "When did you get back?"The older woman smiled gracefully. "We returned a few days ago. When we heard about Mr. Fisher Sr.'s passing, we thought we should come by."Charles nodded, falling silent again. The woman had expected more conversation but was met with awkward silence. Yvonne glanced between Charles and the woman, also staying silent.As the silence grew, footsteps sounded on the stairs. Haley and Shane descended, looking curiously at the unfamiliar visitors. "Mom, Dad, we have gu

    Haley noticed that Yvonne seemed a bit down, so she quickly approached her. "Mom, you must be exhausted these past few days. Why don’t you take a good rest?"Yvonne, lost in her thoughts, was brought back by her daughter's concern. She shook her head with a gentle smile. "I'm fine. But you, you’re the one who needs to rest the most. You’re pregnant."Haley snuggled into Yvonne's embrace and nodded softly. "Okay, I understand."Jane blinked innocently and suddenly spoke up, "Haley and Aunt Yvonne are so close. You seem closer than actual mother and daughter."Emily also smiled and nodded in agreement. "Your Aunt Yvonne hasn’t had a daughter all these years, but now she has Haley to enjoy the joys of motherhood."Haley frowned slightly at the comment. On the surface, it seemed like a compliment, but it also felt like a jab at Yvonne’s inability to have children, suggesting she needed to adopt a daughter to gain favor. It seemed this mother-daughter pair had an agenda.Yvonne caught

    Having waited a while and not getting an apology, Haley huffed, "Dad, don’t you have anything to say?"Charles looked at Haley, then at Yvonne. He had no idea what he had done wrong, but it was clear he had upset his wife. Quickly, he admitted fault, "It’s my fault. I’m wrong. Whatever punishment you think is fair, I’ll accept."Yvonne chuckled, "Do you even know what you did wrong?"Charles shook his head, "If you’re upset, then it’s my fault."Yvonne couldn’t help but laugh again, waving him off, "Alright, enough with the mushy stuff in front of the kids."Ignoring this, Charles gently moved Haley aside and sat next to Yvonne. "Honey, do you dislike Emily?"Yvonne pursed her lips, shaking her head, "No, it’s just that thinking about her being your ex-fiancée makes me a little uneasy."Charles immediately pulled her into his arms, swearing his loyalty, "Honey, I swear, from start to finish, you’re the only one in my heart. There’s no one else."Haley couldn’t help but roll her

    As soon as she finished speaking, Yvonne and Haley's expressions turned cold. If Emily's attitude yesterday wasn't clear enough, her instinctive words today were proof that she really didn't like Yvonne. Not only did she dislike her, but she also seemed to harbor a significant hostility.Yvonne couldn't be sure if this hostility stemmed from Charles or something else. However, she was never someone to be easily bullied. She immediately responded coldly, "Emily, this is a family matter. It’s not your place to decide."Emily realized she had misspoken and quickly tried to explain, "Yvonne, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean it that way. I was just surprised at how much Charles spoils you."Haley blinked innocently but her words left Emily embarrassed. "Isn't it natural for a husband to love his wife? You've been married for so long, Aunt Emily, don't you understand that?"She covered her mouth theatrically, "Aunt Emily, did I say something wrong?"If it was a contest of who could app

    She quickly slipped her hands inside Shane's suit, pressing her palms against his back. Shane noticed her action and smiled, "Feeling warmer?""Yes, very warm. Let me hold you a little longer," Haley replied.Shane bent down, scooping her up in his arms, and headed upstairs. "The capital isn't like Jasper City. Here, the seasons are distinct, and it's already late autumn. Make sure to wear more layers when you go out."Haley nodded hastily in agreement.Reaching their bedroom, Shane tucked her into bed, wrapping the blanket tightly around her, leaving only her delicate, pale face exposed. Haley’s eyes twinkled mischievously as she suddenly lifted a corner of the blanket, patting the space beside her, "Come lie down with me."Shane obliged, pulling her into his arms. Ever since they arrived in the capital, he found himself lazier. Previously, Shane had been disciplined, his schedule untouchable, even slightly obsessive-compulsive about sticking to it. But Haley was the exceptio

    Afterwards, Shane held Haley tightly, lying still for a long time. Haley looked up, taking in his chiseled jawline and sharply defined features. Shane was so handsome and alluring. She smiled softly and said, "Honey, Grandpa’s funeral is over. Shouldn’t we head back to Jasper City now?""Are you feeling homesick?" Shane raised an eyebrow.Haley shook her head and shared her thoughts. "Grandpa’s passing made me realize how important it is to cherish the people we love. Dad and Mom can handle things here. Don’t you think it’s time we went back to spend some time with your mom?"Mrs. Ford Sr.'s had two sons, Steven and Shane. Steven had left for abroad with Evelyn and James out of guilt. Shane had been juggling work and accompanying Haley in the capital, leaving them several months without visiting Mrs. Ford Sr. At the funeral, they only saw her briefly, but it was clear her health had deteriorated. Haley didn’t want Shane to have any regrets like she did.After a long silence, Sh

    However, since there had not been any overt actions from Emily, it was not appropriate to speculate maliciously. After all, it was just Haley’s intuition.The next day, Shane, Haley, and Zac returned to Jasper City. Henry and Jenny were there to greet them at the airport. Spotting them, Henry waved enthusiastically."Over here!"Haley and Shane exchanged a quick glance and hurried over.Henry gave Zac a big hug, avoiding Haley and Shane mainly out of fear of Shane. Shane was very protective of his wife, not allowing anyone to touch her.Jenny, on the other hand, was fearless. Ignoring Shane's wary look, she threw her arms around Haley. "Haley, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"Haley hugged her back. "I've missed you too! How have you been? Has Henry been treating you well?"Before Jenny could respond, Henry interjected, "What do you mean, 'treating her well'? I'd never dare treat her badly!"Jenny giggled and nodded in agreement. "That's true."If Henry ever ups

    As they were chatting, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Henry called out, "Come in."Several servers in uniforms entered, each carrying plates. The last one held a freshly opened bottle of red wine and placed it between Zac and Henry, saying, "Enjoy your meal."Henry was busy trying to get Jenny to eat more, while Zac sat quietly, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the light, making him look unapproachable. The girl pouring the wine met Zac's cold gaze, panicked, and her hand trembled, causing the liquid to spill. The wine dripped along the edge of the table, landing on Zac's suit pants, in a rather unfortunate spot. Before Zac could react, the girl hastily grabbed a napkin and started wiping the area, apologizing repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't mean to... please forgive me..."Zac looked down to see her white hand holding a napkin, rubbing the awkward spot. His face darkened instantly. If not for his ingrained manners, he might have thrown her out.Seeing she

    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
