Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 880
Just as Shane was about to call it a night, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and answered, "What’s going on?"On the other end, Dean said something that made Shane’s expression harden instantly.Haley, sensing the change in his demeanor, asked curiously, "What happened?"Shane forced a smile and shook his head, gently ruffling her soft hair. "Nothing serious. You go ahead and sleep. I’ve got something to take care of, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back."After saying that, he quickly went to the closet. He then grabbed a suit, and got dressed before heading out the door in a hurry.Haley frowned slightly as she watched him leave. "Why was he in such a rush?" she wondered. "Is he hiding something from me?"Shane grabbed his car keys and randomly selected a car from the garage, driving straight to the police station.Dean had just called to inform him that the police had received a request from William, who wanted to meet with Shane, claiming that he had something important to

Shane returned home to find Haley already asleep. Not wanting to disturb her, he quietly retreated from the room and made his way to the wine cellar. He poured himself a glass of red wine, but just as he raised it to his lips, his phone rang.Glancing at the caller ID, Shane answered in a cold tone, "This better be important."There was a brief silence on the other end before Dean spoke. "Sir, there’s been an incident. The police just called... William... has committed suicide.""What?"Shane’s grip tightened around his phone, disbelief washing over him. He swallowed hard, struggling to find his voice. "What happened?"Dean responded, "I’m not entirely sure of the details. After you left, his behavior seemed off, but no one thought much of it. Late at night, someone noticed blood on the floor during a bathroom break. By the time they realized what had happened, it was too late... They couldn’t save him."Dean paused before adding, "He left a letter. It’s addressed to both you and

Shane’s gaze landed on the envelope in Haley’s hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "You… you saw it?"Haley pulled out the letter, nodding gently, her face filled with regret and sadness. "So, last night when you came home late, you were at the police station to see him?"Shane lowered his head, responding with a quiet "Yeah." He sighed. "I had been having Dean investigate the truth behind William’s mother’s death for a while, and we finally found the evidence a couple of days ago. I just wanted to settle everything once and for all. But I never expected…"He never expected William to take such an extreme step and choose to end his life.Haley could see the turmoil in Shane’s eyes. She moved closer, wrapping her arms around him, and whispered softly, "It’s not your fault. This isn’t on you… Don’t carry that guilt."Shane shut his eyes tightly, holding Haley close, but remained silent for a long time.After what felt like an eternity, he finally steadied his emotions, took a dee

Shane couldn’t resist Haley’s request. With a resigned sigh, he agreed, and they got into the car together.The drive to the police station didn’t take long, and soon, they were being led by officers to the morgue. "The medical examiner has confirmed that it was indeed a suicide," one officer explained. "As for the tool he used, we’re still investigating where he might have gotten it."Shane glanced at the body covered by a white sheet, then nodded to the medical examiner. "Thank you."The examiner gave a slight nod and stepped out, leaving the room for Shane and Haley.Shane turned to Haley and gently reminded her, "You should stay back. I’ll go take a look."Haley, being mindful of her pregnancy, nodded and stayed where she was.Shane slowly pulled back the sheet, revealing William’s lifeless, pale face. Haley, standing a little distance away, felt her eyes well up with tears. She looked away, unable to bear it.Shane stared at William’s face for a long moment, his voice tin

Shane’s expression darkened as he glanced at the caller ID. With a cold snort, he promptly rejected the call.Seeing him ignore the call, Haley asked curiously, "Who was it?"Shane casually tossed his phone aside and cupped Haley’s face, leaning in to kiss her again. "It was Henry. Don’t worry about it, nothing important."Before Haley could respond, the phone rang again.Shane’s expression turned grim as frustration crept over his features. His mood had been thoroughly interrupted, and now his face was a clear display of annoyance. He answered the call with a cold tone, "You’d better have a good reason for calling."On the other end, hearing Shane’s less-than-pleased voice, Henry immediately understood what he had interrupted. "Oh, uh… sorry, man. I didn’t realize you were… busy.""Get to the point. Why are you calling me?" Shane cut him off impatiently.Henry hesitated, then quickly asked, "I heard William… committed suicide?"Shane’s emotions settled slightly as he respond

Henry couldn’t help but feel a little unsettled. He slowly pulled Jenny into his arms, silently comforting her. He silently cursed, "Damn William, even in death, you’re still haunting us!" This was his wife he had worked so hard to win over. He wasn’t about to let a few words undo everything they had built.Jenny, feeling the warmth radiating from him, gradually regained her composure. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and spoke into the phone, "I understand. Thank you, Haley. I’ve already let it go."She hadn’t expected to ever receive an apology from William in this lifetime."Everything from the past is over now. I have a new life with Henry and our baby. I’m happy, and I’ll continue to be happy."As she looked at Henry, her tear-filled eyes softened into a smile. Henry’s presence had made her realize that love couldn’t be forced. True love meant never letting the person you care about suffer or feel pain.This was what Jenny had always wanted. Someone who would give her

Shane buried his face in Haley’s neck, nuzzling her gently. "Babe, please?"Haley blinked innocently, but her words were merciless. "Don’t you have a meeting this morning? You’d better hurry, or you’ll be late."In other words, no. Absolutely not!Haley thought to herself, "You couldn’t let men get away with things like this." Last night, they had agreed on just one time, and though Shane had stuck to that, here he was, unable to resist again first thing in the morning.Haley huffed inwardly. No way was she going to let him off easy. If she kept giving in, he would only push his luck further.Shane sighed, defeated. He pressed his lips to her soft, delicate skin and then bit down lightly."Ow!" Haley gasped, playfully scolding him. "Shane, are you a dog?"Shane didn’t answer, but his deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of frustration. "Haley, you’re so heartless."Haley stared at him in exasperation. "Why is he acting so childish now? Where did he learn this persistent, playf

Back in the capital, Charles had brought the renowned doctor, Dr. Lawson, to the Fisher estate for a consultation with Yvonne. Dr. Lawson, well into his eighties, was a man whose face bore the marks of time, yet he still appeared healthy and had a gentle, kind demeanor.Charles remained by Yvonne’s side, watching the doctor closely as he did his examination, barely breathing from the tension. He seemed even more anxious than Yvonne herself.Noticing his intense gaze, Dr. Lawson huffed in mild annoyance. "What’s this? You don’t trust my skills? If you don’t believe in me, then why call me here?"Feeling a bit guilty, Charles sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and muttered, "It’s not that. I’m just worried about my wife’s health."In truth, there was no one in the world who understood Yvonne’s condition better than Charles. This was precisely why he was so aware of how difficult her illness was to treat.Yvonne’s symptoms weren’t particularly unusual, but her pulse felt strang

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,
Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband Chapter 898
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
