Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 715 Make Him Proud
Belle was a little startled. "Look at all those cars! Who's here?"She had just finished speaking when Tristan and the others made their appearance.They were all quite tall, reaching about six feet in height. They wore expensive tailor-made suits, and their hair was tidy and well-groomed. They were the exact definition of wealthy young men.Some looked like gentlemen, and some others looked reserved. Some also looked nonchalant. Anyone could tell they lacked significant real-world job experience.But no matter which type they were, they radiated confidence. They had an unusual air about them.Anyone could tell at a glance that they weren't ordinary and came from noble backgrounds.Belle was even more surprised to see them. She was about to ask Grayson why they were there when Tristan knocked on their car window.Grayson lowered the window. Ignoring him, Tristan grinningly greeted Belle first."Happy New Year, Walts."Walts?Belle felt a little exasperated at Tristan's inappr

Before Belle could think further, the others began earnestly introducing themselves.Compared to Tristan, the others looked much more sensible.After Belle greeted every one of them, the group entered the house. They had also considerately brought gifts.Since Meredith was on holiday, Belle took on the roles of both the hostess and the housekeeper. When the guests entered the house, Belle invited them to sit.Then, she went into the kitchen to make some tea.In this group of friends, Grayson had a friend called Lance Zeller. Lance was the heir of the Zeller Group. He had just returned from overseas, so it was his first time meeting Belle.He stared at Belle for a long while. Then, he couldn't help but say in amazement, "Mrs. Page is so pretty! She's not only good-looking, but she also has a great figure. She has a youthful air about her."Other women don't seem appealing anymore after one has taken a glance at her. No wonder Grayson is so smitten by her."Lance had just finishe

Belle's phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from a delivery man telling her that her parcel had just been delivered."My parcel?" Belle asked in slight confusion. She hadn't bought anything online in a while.After the delivery man confirmed that it was hers, she replied, "Alright. Please hold on. I'll be there right away."As soon as she hung up, Grayson asked, "What's up?""There's a parcel outside.""It's cold outside. I'll go get it.""No, that's okay. Keep them company here."Belle turned and was about to walk out to get her parcel when she spotted the people standing in the kitchen doorway. They all had rather interesting expressions.She began to feel awkward when she recalled what Grayson had said just now.Not knowing how to ease the tension, she awkwardly said, "I need to retrieve a parcel. You guys can go on without me first."She hurriedly left after that.Grayson watched Belle leave until he could no longer see her. Then he turned back and told the crowd in

Tristan rolled his eyes at Grayson. "What happened to mates before dates? You got it all reversed!"Grayson said wistfully, "I'd rather have my date than my mates.""Hey! That's a bit overboard, you know. I'm feeling a little hurt.""Buzz off."They continued bantering while finishing Belle's tea before starting a poker game in the living room."We need to work together and make sure this guy learns why we take 'bros before hoes' so seriously," Tristan said to Lance and the others.Lance raised an eyebrow. "I've only been gone for a year. Since when have you guys been able to beat Grayson in a game?" Xavier chuckled. "If I remember correctly, the last one who lost was you, Tristan."Indignantly, Tristan replied, "We have strength in numbers! We have to be more confident, guys. We can't lose before we even start. Are we friends or not?"The others just smiled ambiguously and didn't reply. After all, when it came to poker, they took their losses like men.Some things just coul
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 719 I Love My Wife
Belle was forced to finish the strawberry before asking, "Are you sure it's okay for you to be here while all your friends are outside?"Grayson responded, "Why wouldn't it be?""You're a man, after all.""Is there a law against men being in the kitchen?""No, but I always see shows where–""Those shows are wrong. Nobody ever made it a rule that women must be in the kitchen or that men aren't allowed to cook. A man will cook if he loves his wife and wants to help her out. "In fact, I'm proud to have a wife and be able to help her out. It's not embarrassing at all. Just look at Tristan and the others. They don't even have a wife to help out."Belle opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She didn't know how to respond to that.Deep inside, though, she was thankful that he was finally being a good husband.Grayson took over the stove area while she watched from the side, munching on strawberries.She could hear Tristan and the others' boisterous laughter from the living room.
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 720 I Want to Kiss Him
Belle hurriedly locked the door when she entered the bedroom. She was panting nervously.She wanted to kiss him.She screamed inwardly. What was happening to her?Whenever Grayson kissed her, it was bad enough that she didn't fight back. Now, all of a sudden, she was thinking of kissing him!Was she finally starting to have feelings toward him?What did he do to her? Did he drug her drink with some sort of aphrodisiac?Yet, she clearly knew that he hadn't done that. With her skills, she would have known if he had slipped her any drugs.The problem came from within herself.It was the first time Belle ever had thoughts about kissing someone else. Her whole body was hot with shame.She put the strawberries down and went to the bathroom to splash her face with cold water.She wasn't even 20 yet. It was her first time feeling anything romantic, and she had zero experience in such matters. She had no idea what had come over her, and after thinking about it, she decided to ask Ging
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 721 You Are Cute
Belle hadn't heard their whispers since she had entered the kitchen.When Grayson saw her, he hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?"Belle was a pretty good actress. "I'm fine. I accidentally got some strawberry juice on myself, so I had to change."Grayson didn't think much about her answer. He simply teased, "You looked exactly like how Sixteen did when he was a puppy trying to protect his food."Belle stared at him. "Are you trying to insult me?""I'm just saying you're cute," Grayson replied.Belle opened her mouth, but no words escaped her mouth. She glanced at the living room and suddenly thought of Simon. She turned to ask Grayson, "Isn't Simon one of your childhood friends too? Is he in a different friend group or something?""No. We all grew up together.""Why isn't he here?""He might be busy. I'll call him in a bit."Simon was always there during their New Year dinners. However, he was absent today. Grayson thought Simon was just being later than normal, but he hadn't
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 722 Liquid Courage
Belle froze after hearing that. For some reason, she felt sad just thinking about it.If something really happened to him, of course, she would go to him.However, she didn't like to think about it. She didn't want anything to happen to Grayson."Nothing will happen to you. You're too skilled for that," Belle muttered."That's not true. I've been on the brink of death more times than I can count since I was a kid."Belle frowned and said, "Don't jinx yourself!"Grayson chuckled and said, "It's not like I'd let you return to the mountains alone. If you still want to go back in the future, then I'll follow. We'll build a hut and live the rest of our lives there."Belle fell silent.After a moment, she began to talk about Simon again. "Since Sabrina doesn't like him anymore, will she see him when he gets there?""She might not, but no one can stop him once he puts his mind to something. Just let him be. He'll learn his lesson after hitting the same wall over and over again."Bel

Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" Belle then held her face in her hands and pretended to cry.Sixteen immediately calmed down as it nudged Belle's hands with its paws, trying to comfort her. Belle broke character, revealing a grin. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived. She put on a gentle smile as she watched Belle

After returning to the house, Ava asked, "Why did Xenia go crazy? Wasn't she fine not long ago?"Lena wiped her hands and handed the towel back to Ava. "Someone drugged her and induced hallucinations of her worst fears. She's been on the edge ever since. After all, she did commit all sorts of misdeeds." "Someone?""Belle Walters."Ava was shocked. "Why would Belle drug Xenia?"Ava and Lena had been moving from place to place, seeking a safe hideout ever since they picked up Xenia. They had only found a relatively safe place today, so Ava finally had the chance to inquire about the details.Lena shot her a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore her question.Ava dared not press further and changed the topic. "Now that Xenia's lost her mind, can we still get her to talk?"Lena continued to ignore her and went to scribble down a prescription. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

Meanwhile, Ginger, too, was grappling with confusion. She'd also offered Hunter money, only to be stunned into silence by the astronomical sum in his bank statement. Compared to him, she was practically penniless. The largest amount she'd ever held was a few million Gabriel had won in the lottery—a drop in the bucket compared to Hunter's wealth."Why do you think Mr. Sanders was so wealthy?" Ginger queried, seeking Gabriel's insight.Gabriel was similarly grappling with confusion and remained quiet. However, he was preoccupied with a different mystery. His mind was consumed by the deaths of Penny and Terry. He had taken time to visit the corpses and noted the peculiarity surrounding their deaths. Their autopsies revealed unusual injuries that baffled forensics.Both victims, young adults in their prime, looked as if they'd been scared to death.Aware of Hunter's ties to the Nightwalkers, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the inheritance. Compared to the wealth amassed during the Sanders f
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1268 Proud Of Him
Belle pondered aloud, "While Hunter isn't as averse to exploring tombs as Benjamin, they share a similar disposition. Otherwise, with his expertise, he could easily be making a fortune.""The Sanders ancestors might not have been saints," Grayson conceded, "but perhaps Hunter's grandfather started a positive trend. Like Benjamin, he likely tried to shield Hunter from their legacy. A truly evil man couldn't have raised such a kind son."As Benjamin grew, he remained kind-hearted despite his timidity. And now, Hunter has grown into an upright, kind, and courageous young man. His talent for exploration makes him the pride of his lineage."Belle nodded and sighed. "Money is crucial for a comfortable life today. With what Hunter has, financial worries shouldn't trouble him. He'll be well provided for."Grayson pulled her into his arms and responded, "Don't fret. While Hunter may still be in school, he's mature for his age. He can take care of himself just fine."Belle leaned onto his s
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1267 Destiny's Guiding Hand
Hunter crouched by the bed, methodically clearing away the books until a single floor tile lay exposed. Prying it open revealed a dark hole just big enough for one person. Grabbing a flashlight, he squeezed through the narrow opening and emerged into a moderately sized room of perhaps about 130 square feet. Wooden boxes, weathered with age and adorned with simple designs, filled the space.Hunter made a beeline for a particular box, brushing off the dust before prying it open. The wooden box was filled to the brim with notebooks. Hunter sat down on the floor, picked up one of the books, and started reading it.This hidden chamber and its contents were discovered by a young Hunter, seemingly guided by destiny. Hunter's father, Benjamin, had buried them, driven by a desire to safeguard their knowledge from Hunter's curious gaze. Fear had gripped Benjamin after learning about the Sanders family's history, the expertise that had seemingly drawn them toward a dangerous path. He

Nora let out a long sigh. "It's fine. Just keep it with you! I don't really need the money right away or anything. Besides, an old woman like me won't be spending much in town even if I tried."Hunter stopped Nora as she was about to leave and took a wad of money from his bag. "I have 20,000 dollars right here. It's far from the actual price, but you can keep it for now. I'll pay you the rest when I can."Nora was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?""It's the money I gathered from donations for the funeral, mostly from Ms. Belle and Mr. Grayson.""Oh, that makes sense. Here I was, wondering how you managed to get such a huge amount from donations. I can tell your friends are really kind-hearted people. You should treat them just as well as they treat you, okay? Study hard and make a name for yourself, and then you'll be able to properly repay their kindness.""Yeah, I know. Anyway, the gold nugget weighs slightly over 17 ounces. So, its worth is about 37,500 dollars. I'll pay y
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 1265 Gold Nugget
As the final step of the funeral, the townsfolk gathered for a meal after Benjamin's burial. After Benjamin was buried, Belle and Ginger approached Hunter, inquiring about his plans for the future. Belle expressed her desire for Hunter to stay with her and Grayson, mentioning that their house had plenty of spare rooms. The only drawback would be that it was quite the distance from his school, but they could always arrange a driver for him.Ginger also invited Hunter to stay with her and Gabriel as their house had just finished with renovations. They also had a spare room for Hunter if he were to join their house.Hunter was genuinely touched by their offers, but he still declined them both. "I'd like to stay in my school's hostel for now. I'll think about what to do next when I graduate."Belle and Ginger recognized that they couldn't sway Hunter's decision, so they ceased their attempts to pressure him into making a choice."If you run out of space for your belongings, you ca

Hunter detailed, "I recall every person who came to offer prayers for my father... However, it was during my trip to the restroom that the dogs began barking. Upon my return, I spotted some unfamiliar footprints. Without seeing anyone there, I dismissed it. But upon hearing about Penny and Terry's deaths this morning, I began to connect the dots..."Both Gabriel and Grayson were left speechless.Gabriel exchanged a glance with Grayson before turning back to Hunter. "So, you're suggesting that the stranger who came to town also visited your house to pray for your father before departing to exact revenge on Penny and Terry for Mr. Sanders' death?""Yes.""Why didn't he meet you then?""I don't know.""Any other suspects you have in mind?"Hunter shook his head. "My father and I don't have friends other than you guys. It's just the two of us for as long as I can remember.""Could it be someone else from the Sanders family?" asked Gabriel."I don't think so. I'm an only child, and

Belle, Ginger, and the rest of the group arrived at 8:00 am. They noticed the crowd alongside police cars at the entrance to the town. The two of them then squeezed through the crowd to make it to the house as soon as they could. "What happened, Hunter?"The policemen were stunned by their sudden arrival. "Who are you?""We're Hunter's friends. You can tell us about what happened."Hunter's eyes gleamed with hope as he greeted them. "Ms. Belle and Ms. Ginger!"Grayson's car stopped in front of the town alongside a truck filled with equipment for the funeral.Without Belle and Grayson's friendship, Hunter would have had to manage all the funeral arrangements alone, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Ginger.Sam remained outside to stand guard while Grayson and Gabriel entered the Sanders family's old home.The townsfolk and the police were shocked when they saw them.They didn't recognize Grayson or Gabriel, but they could tell at a glance that they were really special peo
