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."

    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

    Not long after, Zac’s assistant arrived, carrying a paper shopping bag. Zac took his suit jacket off, using it to discreetly cover the stain on his pants, and headed to the restroom."You guys go ahead and eat. Don’t wait for me."He returned about ten minutes later. Haley looked up at him and suddenly said, "Hey, Zac, can I ask you a favor?"Zac turned his head, his gaze softening. "What is it?""Be my model for a day. I want to design an outfit for you, something handmade."Ever since she became the CEO of JY Group, her status had skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to wear her designs. The last piece she designed was for Grandpa, and after his passing, Charles had him dressed in it for the funeral.He said, "He didn’t get to wear it much, but your grandpa loved it. It was a heartfelt gesture from you as his granddaughter. I think wearing this suit as he leaves us will make his journey to the afterlife less lonely."At that moment, Haley truly understo

    After dinner, Haley leaned against Shane, feeling drowsy. Shane took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, then lifted her into his arms. "I’m taking Haley home. You guys can stay as long as you like.""Wait, we'll come too. We’re pretty much done here," Henry said, holding Jenny’s hand as they followed them outside. Zac, though silent, also followed suit.At the restaurant entrance, waiting for the driver, they overheard a conversation."Supervisor, please don’t fire me. I really need this job. I swear it wasn’t on purpose.""Charlotte, do you have any idea who you messed with? If they hadn't let it go, how much would we have had to pay? Now get out.""Supervisor..."Charlotte Luke could not hold back her tears, desperately pleading for her job. The familiar voice made Zac frown. He usually avoided getting involved in such matters, but the sound of a slap caught his attention.The supervisor’s sharp, gloating voice cut through the air, "Charlotte, I’ve had enough of you.

    The supervisor sneered, "Then don't blame me for being rude! What's your name? I'll make sure you're not welcome here anymore."Before Zac could respond, Charlotte tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Sir, thank you for standing up for me, but the owner of this restaurant has a lot of influence. You don't want to cross him.""Really?" Zac replied indifferently, looking over his shoulder. "You think I can't afford to cross you?"Shane raised an eyebrow and signaled Henry. Holding Haley in his arms, Shane couldn't move easily, so Henry took out Shane's phone and dialed the restaurant manager's number.In less than three minutes, a middle-aged man with a protruding belly came running out, one shoe missing in his haste. He didn't even notice, his mind consumed by a single thought that the boss was here for an inspection! And from the sound of it, the boss wasn't happy with him.Could the boss have found out about the things he had been doing?The supervisor was puzzled by how these men

    Charlotte was utterly confused, having no idea what had just happened. How had the supervisor and the manager, who were giving her such a hard time moments ago, been dismissed so suddenly?She wanted to thank Zac, but he didn't even glance at her before walking away.The next day, when Haley heard about what happened, she looked disappointed. "I can't believe I missed such a drama! Why didn't you wake me up?"Shane, unfairly blamed, laughed helplessly. "If I had woken you up, would I still be able to sleep in our room tonight?"Haley blushed and had no retort. Shane handed her a peeled apple. "Want some?"Haley shook her head vehemently, leaning back and making a face. "No way! I'm full. I can't eat another bite."Shane set down the fruit knife and leaned in, pressing his face against her soft belly. "Really? Let me check."Haley wore a thin-strapped nightgown, the fabric just a whisper against her skin. Shane's warm breath seeping through the fabric made her flush even more.

    Shane slowly closed his mouth, deciding not to say anything further. The doctor had mentioned that the fetus's hearing system starts developing around two months, and now at three months, it might be able to hear his voice. Although he secretly hoped for a daughter, he would still love a son just as much.After thinking for a long time, Shane came up with a name, "Caden Ford."Haley nodded in approval. "Okay, let's go with that. We'll see which one we end up using."Shane pulled Haley into his arms, confidently saying, "Darling, trust your husband's intuition. It's definitely a girl."Haley couldn't help but laugh. She patted his shoulder playfully, "I have an appointment with Jenny tomorrow for a check-up. Do you want to come with me?""So soon?" Shane was surprised. He still cherished the last check-up report and often took it out to admire.Haley gently touched her stomach, her eyes soft. "We've been traveling between Jasper City and the capital for the past month. Time flew b

    The results of the prenatal checkup came in quickly. Haley and Jenny had their checkups done together to save time.Haley's ultrasound results came in first. The doctor smiled and said, "Everything looks great. Both babies are healthy. You're almost four months along now, so it's a good time to start some early education and prenatal yoga. Aerobic exercise is also beneficial for the babies.""Thank you, doctor. We will... Wait, both?" Haley looked up in surprise.Even Shane was stunned. "Doctor, are you sure?"The doctor gave them a peculiar look. "How could I be wrong about something like this? There's no mistake. Mrs. Ford is carrying twins. Her body is a bit weak, so the babies' development has been slower, which is why it wasn't noticed earlier."Haley gripped Shane's sleeve tightly and looked up at him. "Honey, we're having twins!"Shane suppressed his excitement and gently pulled her into his arms. His movements were careful, as if handling something fragile."Thank you, s

    Zac looked at the mess before him, a vein throbbing at his temple. "No need, the pipe at home burst. I've already called someone to fix it.""Alright then, we'll reschedule. There's some good news I want to share with you."Zac was about to ask when Shane abruptly hung up. Such important news about the twins couldn't be shared over the phone.Curious, Haley asked, "What's going on? Is Zac busy?""Yeah, his pipe burst. He's probably cleaning up. You know how he is about his territory. He rarely lets anyone into his villa."Haley sighed, "Oh well, we'll have to tell him next time."At Zac’s private villa, he tossed his phone aside, glaring at the woman before him. "Didn't the housekeeper tell you not to touch anything?""I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't think I'd trip..." Charlotte felt incredibly unlucky.She was about to be promoted at the restaurant, but the manager’s relative took her place. She just wanted to work hard and earn money, but she nearly got fired

    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
