Shane seems genuinely angry this time, and Valeria really doesn't know how to make him happy. She touches the vegetables, unable to resist looking a few times. Is he really back in the room?
She sneaks a peek at Shane and finds him holding a book, reading seriously. However, she can't help but want to laugh because Shane has actually turned the book upside down; he's not really reading, just pretending.
Valeria quietly closes the door, then prepares a table full of delicious dishes. She wonders what day it is today; it seems like Shane has even prepared candles. What was he planning to do? She is puzzled, but he is genuinely upset.
"Shane, dinner is served!" She opens the door, presenting slippers to him.
But Shane coldly rejects her service and walks straight out.
However, Valeria seems to have noticed something--when did Shane start wearing a ring? She glances at Shane's hand in his pocket. Her heart starts pounding; this seems even more exciting
Valeria anticipated something in her heart, and Shane knew it.He lifted her up in his arms, disregarding her protests, and carried her into the study.Shane placed her inside the study, and then, with an air of mystery, did something that was unclear to onlookers.But she felt like there was a particular scent in the study, something familiar.However, she dared not move now because she was sitting on the table barefoot, feeling quite helpless."Mr. Hunter, where did you go?" She called out in helplessness, but received no response from Shane.Yet, there were footsteps, and she sensed something.The study was dynamic; it was an automated study that could transform with remote control. Valeria's table moved, and then a beam of light shone on her face.She found it hard to open her eyes, not knowing what Shane was up to, but she knew he must have prepared something for her.After Shane opened those things, she couldn't control her tears; it was somewhat uncomfortable.Shane was indeed
"Fool, I won't force you. I'll wait until you fall in love with me!" After saying this, Shane peacefully embraced her, and they went to sleep together.However, Valeria didn't sleep well all night. Was this really happening to her? She found it hard to believe.In less than a month, she unexpectedly developed new feelings for another man, and this affection felt unique. She could sense that it was different from her previous experiences.Suddenly, a phrase popped into her mind: ‘In the right time, with the right person, doing the right thing, that's the most beautiful moment.’Meeting Shane was her best time, encountering the right person.Valeria looked back at his sleeping face. She cautiously reached out to touch his face with her fingers, gently outlining his eyebrows, eyes, contours—everything about him seemed perfect. Yet, he seemed to have encountered something less than perfect, always getting into trouble because of her. Burying her head in his chest, she fell asleep peaceful
Valeria didn't create a scene or offer any explanations. "Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Elijah Hunter. It's time for me to leave after work. I’ll go first!"Without looking back, she walked away, leaving Elijah deep in thought about her departure."Boss, should I--""No need! Let's go too!"As Valeria packed up to leave, she noticed Shane's arrival.Glancing at him, she realized his attention wasn't on her.When she turned to look, Shane was fixedly staring at Elijah.Did they know each other?"Shane? What are you looking at?" Valeria asked. They couldn't possibly be acquainted, right?Shane snapped out of it, looked at her, and said, "Nothing, I just feel like I've seen this person somewhere before.""How could you have seen him somewhere? He's Elijah Hunter," Valeria said with a hint of displeasure, seemingly not impressed by him.Unexpectedly, Elijah overheard this remark. He stopped near them and coldly stared at her.In high spirits, Shane hugged her, "Sweetie, let’s come home e
"Elijah, I've looked after you for so many years. Can't you take care of an old man like me? You don’t even have any cash! It's really disheartening," the old man grumbled, casting a disappointed look at Elijah."Grandpa, if you don't behave, I might spill the beans to Grandma about all the sweets you've been sneaking out to eat. I wonder how she'll react to that."At the mention of his wife, the old man immediately cursed, "Come on, you little rascal, that's just plain mean! If you ever spill the beans later, I swear, I'll beat you to a pulp!"Grandpa escorted him to the door. When he knocked, Shane was busy at home, and Valeria opened the door.Valeria, surprised, greeted them, "Hello... you—"‘Elijah Hunter? Why is he here?’For a moment, Valeria felt a little confused. What on earth is going on?"My granddaughter-in-law, you opened the door for me!" Grandpa Hunter exclaimed with joy, revealing his teeth in a beaming smile. His happiness was evident."Grandpa... are you Shane's gra
Shane couldn't help but feel that his grandpa was acting quite strange. What on earth was he up to?"Grandpa, what did you buy, really?" The expression on Shane's face darkened, and Valeria looked at Shane with confusion. Why didn't she sense anything?"Shane, the meal was made by your wife, but what grandpa brought is all good stuff to nourish the body!" The old man's smile sent shivers down the spine, making it clear he had some not-so-friendly intentions.Shane looked at his grandpa with great helplessness."Grandpa, next time, just keep it to yourself and take good care of your health!" Shane couldn't help but say, but then he glanced at his eldest brother, and it was just unbearable to look at him dressed like that. "Elijah, are you here to entertain us in my house? Are you trying to striptease dance and seduce my wife?"Grandpa Hunter looked at them and laughed heartily. "Shane, your task is just to ignore Elijah; this kid is too arrogant on ordinary days, simply lawless!"Elija
Valeria took a deep breath and went to the bathroom to fetch a cold towel for him. Besides that, she really didn't know what to do."Valeria, you should sleep in the living room tonight!" Shane said with a hoarse voice, which was unsettling.Valeria really felt she couldn't just abandon him like this. "No, I can't just abandon you!"Shane sometimes thought that Valeria was really stubborn, but she was genuinely cute because of her stubbornness. However, it was precisely because of her persistence that she seemed so adorable."Aren't you afraid I might turn into a wolf?" Shane said with a playful smile, as if he had returned to his old self, but there was a hint of mistiness in his eyes."I trust you. You won't really hurt me!" Valeria used the cold towel to carefully wipe him.But does she need to wipe his entire body?She hesitated. It's okay, he's her husband. If she couldn't handle it now, what about in the future?Summoning courage, she began to act."Shane?" She shook Shane, feel
Valeria stormed out of the room, her hands feeling all wobbly. Ever since that messed-up incident, she couldn't trust guys anymore. In her eyes, every dude was just a creepy weirdo and a shameless scoundrel. Fuming with resentment, she sought refuge in the bathroom, trying to scrub off the traces on her hands."Mrs. Hunter, you've been working your butt off, but about last night—"That big bad wolf, Shane, should've never been trusted. Now he was all well-fed and cheerful."Shane, you jerk, get out of here!" Her face turned beet red with embarrassment and shyness.But would Shane actually leave? Nah, he was planted there, not budging."Shane, if you don't scram, I won't be coming home in the future!" Valeria said, annoyed. Did he seriously think she couldn't handle him?But Shane's face was like, ‘Try me,’ and he just wouldn't leave."Shane, I just realized something. If Grandpa is a retired commander, doesn't that make you and your family an honorable family? Isn't there some officia
Valeria had planned this from early morning. As soon as she entered the house, she changed her shoes and rushed into the bedroom. Closing the door shut, she locked Shane outside. Let him be, considering how naughty he was—now he couldn't come in.Shane was left dumbfounded, a mix of exasperation and amusement. So, this was the game she was playing."Valeria, are you trying to tell me you're never coming out again?" The house was only so big, and there was no bathroom in the bedroom. This little woman seemed to have forgotten about basic human needs.Leaning against the door, Shane tapped on the door, waiting for his wife to open it.Valeria knew exactly what he was up to. She sat on the bed without moving. He had said whoever occupied the room first would own it, so he could go sleep in the study."Valeria, I have the key." Shane stopped talking. In fact, he was just teasing Valeria. But it worked, and his wife quickly ran to open the door."Shane, you're shameless." She looked angry,
