Belle wanted to argue and say, "It hasn't even been that long since we last met."However, she simply couldn't argue when faced with Grayson's sad, puppy-dog stare. Her lips twitched, and she avoided his gaze as she went to the water cooler to fill her glass.She was worried that she would give in if she stared at him any longer.Her defenses against him had completely crumbled. She simply couldn't bear to make him sad.However, she really couldn't work with him around."I'm really busy today, okay? There are a ton of patients here."Grayson said, "Simon's the main doctor here. He'll run the place fine even without you. There are more than 20 doctors here in this clinic. They won't miss just one single doctor.""That's true, but I–"Before she could finish her sentence, he hugged her from behind and leaned down to place his chin on her shoulder. Almost childishly, he murmured, "I miss you."His warm breath tickled her ear, and she instinctively twitched to get rid of the sensa

Simon's bewildered eyes met two pairs of very awkward ones.He was taken aback.How much more awkward could things get?"Wait. Wait, I–"Belle suddenly said, "He wasn't feeling well, so I decided to give him a check-up."Basically, she meant that Simon shouldn't misunderstand and that they were doing completely innocent things.Simon fell for it immediately. "Is Grayson sick? What happened?""His kidneys aren't very healthy."Simon fell silent from surprise.He stared at Grayson in shock. The other man was staring at him with the most murderous glare he had ever seen.Simon innocently thought that Grayson was only angry out of embarrassment from Simon discovering a humiliating secret. He quickly said, "I'll keep my mouth shut. Don't worry."Grayson went silent.Belle was already at her desk, and she had even pulled out a few sachets of medicine for kidney deficiencies. She told Grayson, "Take these home and eat them as instructed."Grayson was speechless. Not only had he n

Grayson rolled his window down and looked at the man through narrowed eyes with a lit cigar in between his fingers.The man was stunned before Grayson even spoke. He hesitated before finally saying, "I'm sorry for blocking your way, sir. We'll clear a way for you immediately."The man yelled out, "Move aside! Let him pass first."Grayson didn't move. Instead, he said calmly, "I'll give you ten seconds to crawl back to whatever cave you came from."The other man frowned. "We already apologized for blocking your way. Isn't that good enough?""Nine seconds."The man lost his temper. "I'm not scared of you just because you have money! I'm here to kick some ass, and I don't care who I do it to! To me, you're no different than everyone else over there!""Five seconds.""Alright. Looks like you're taking it the hard way. I gotta warn you, I used to be Trent's right-hand man. After he passed, most of them started to follow me instead. I—""Two seconds.""You … Alright, this fucker ha

His confidant replied, "That is possible."Jamie froze before lamenting, "No wonder Grayson is so protective over that clinic. It's all because of love! Goddamn it. We have to keep our mouths shut now, and I'm never going to get that 700 grand back. "Love really does make people go crazy. Grayson will probably do anything for Simon at this point.""What do we do? If things continue like this, our clinic is going to get shut down."Jamie scowled fiercely. "We'll let this one pass for now. We can get them back sooner or later. Since we can't be in the spotlight over it anymore, it's time to be shady. We can't let the Sylvester family rise up again.""But with Mr. Page around, it'll be hard to do anything, especially since he and Simon are seemingly much closer than we thought.""So what? He may have Grayson, but we have the Johnson family backing us up. Don't be scared. We'll be fine as long as we don't go face-to-face with Grayson. We just have to think more carefully about what

Grayson's gaze darkened, and he stared at Belle meaningfully before managing to suppress his desires.Bending down, he kissed her on the cheek gently. "Let's eat," he said tenderly.It was already so late. She had to be starving.He was worried that she'd faint from starvation if they started doing anything else, so he wanted to make sure she was fed first.The two of them enjoyed a delicious dinner together and had quite a few glasses of wine throughout the meal.Belle, especially, was drinking a lot. Maybe the wine was good, or perhaps the atmosphere was just right, but either way, she couldn't stop downing the wine.Grayson was worried that she'd feel sick after so many glasses and tried to stop her but to no avail.He gave up trying to stop her at the sight of her joy. They could afford to drink more than usual since they were at home and nothing could happen to them.Belle's happiness came first.The result of him closing one eye was that she got drunk before they even fi
Powerless Against His Feisty Wife Chapter 863 Giving in to the Night
Alcohol really was liquid courage. Belle was usually timid, but she was being extra bold tonight.Not only was she kissing Grayson back with vigor, but she was even trying to take the lead.The moment they entered the bedroom, she started to untuck his shirt from his trousers and began feeling him all over.The feeling of her palms on his skin wasn't enough, so she started to undo his belt as well.When the belt didn't come off after one try, she got frustrated and bit his bottom hip hard. She began to stomp her feet from impatience.Grayson had never seen her so urgent to get down and dirty before.He was on the edge of bursting from her constant teasing and decided that the romantic lines he had carefully prepared were useless at that point. He tore his shirt off and took his belt off before pressing her against the door.He kissed her hungrily as he wrestled with her clothes.The room smelled like flowers from all the rose petals strewn over the floor and bed. He had prepare

Grayson heard Belle's change in tone and opened his eyes slowly, trying to wake himself up. He looked at her and said, "It's Saturday. You should rest.""I told Hunter that I'd give his father a check-up today. They're already at the clinic, and Simon just called to tell me that Hunter's father isn't in good condition. He needs me to be there."Grayson frowned. He didn't want to let her go, since he felt safe and comfortable with her in his arms.However, there was a patient that needed to be seen. He couldn't be selfish.He fell silent for a second before yawning and forcing himself to wake up. "I'll go with you."He sat up with Belle still in his arms, causing both of their bare torsos to be completely exposed. Belle quickly pushed him back onto the bed while tossing the blanket over his head."Go back to sleep. I'll go myself. You're just going to get in my way.""I'm not a kid. Why would I do that?"As he spoke, Grayson reached up and tried to pull the blanket off his head.

Hunter's father said in surprise, "Are you the doctor my son keeps talking about?"Belle nodded and smiled. "Hello, Mr. Sanders."Benjamin, Hunter's father, was clearly taken aback. "You're so young! My son told me that you're the owner of this clinic. A-Are you even Hunter's age?"Belle was young, and she looked even younger, so she usually ended up looking like a high school student to strangers.Chuckling, she replied, "I'm already 20 years old this year.""Ah, you're 20? That means you're two years older than Hunter. You're still very young, though. It's impressive that you've managed to open a clinic at such a young age," Benjamin marveled.Belle smiled and nodded before sitting down to test Benjamin's pulse.After that, she started doing a full check-up on Benjamin. She then excused Hunter so that she could be alone with Benjamin. She said with a frown, "You're in bad shape."Benjamin sighed. "I know. It's my own body, after all. How long do I have left?""Less than six

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

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

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
