Semua Bab Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband: Bab 91 - Bab 100

He didn't want his grandmother to get the wrong idea about Xena, so he decided to shoulder the responsibility himself. Mrs. Ford Sr. waved him off, saying, "You don't need to explain these things to me, and frankly, I don't care to hear them. Is there anything else you want to discuss with me? If not, then please leave. I need to rest."Observing Mrs. Ford Sr.'s tired expression, James swallowed his explanations and remained silent. "Grandma, I genuinely care for Xena. I want to marry her. I hope you can approve of us."Mrs. Ford Sr. gave him a brief glance and inquired, "Are you truly unable to live without her?"James nodded firmly, "Yes, she holds a significant place in my life."Mrs. Ford Sr. fell silent, taking her time to respond.James pleaded, "Grandma, I hardly ever ask you for anything. Please consider this request.""Don't bring up this matter again in the future. I won't agree to it," Mrs. Ford Sr. declared firmly.James hesitated, wanting to say more, but upon see

Instead, there was a touch of gentleness in his demeanor.Observing such a significant transformation in him within such a brief period, Mrs. Ford Sr. felt immensely relieved.Since Shane's abduction, his demeanor had become increasingly withdrawn.Psychologists even diagnosed him, suggesting his symptoms resembled emotional detachment because he could keep his emotions under control at a steady level, without any fluctuations regardless of the circumstances.It was not to say there were no fluctuations at all, but they only occurred in specific contexts and were very subtle.Even psychologists couldn't probe into his inner world.Thus, nobody knew what exactly could trigger emotional fluctuations within him.Now, it seemed that Haley had a significant impact on Shane's emotions.For Shane, perhaps this was a positive development.Therefore, Mrs. Ford Sr. was grateful to Haley, treating her with extra affection and warmth, a sharp contrast to her attitude towards James.James

Even when they met face to face, they never exchanged a single word.Haley once softly complained to him, wondering if Shane had any opinions about her due to his cold demeanor.At that moment, his mind was completely absorbed by thoughts of Xena, so he couldn't care less whether Haley felt wronged or not.So, he casually replied, "How could that be? If my uncle truly dislikes someone, that person's fate will be miserable, and you haven't provoked him."Now, looking back, everything seemed to have had signs.Just when James was lost in his thoughts, Shane suddenly turned to him."James, now that everything is out in the open, we shouldn't forget about manners. Haley is now your senior, so you should address her as 'Aunt Haley'."This statement hit James like a sudden jolt, leaving him stunned.James had never considered the possibility of his former fiancée becoming his senior.He parted his lips, but couldn't find the words to speak.Previously, he addressed Haley by her nam

Shane exchanged a few words with Haley and then promptly left Mrs. Ford Sr.'s bedroom, leaving only Haley and James behind.James fixed his gaze on Haley, his brows furrowed tightly together as he questioned in a deep voice, "Why did you marry my uncle?""I just felt like getting married. Any issue with that?" Haley didn't want to linger alone with James in the same space. It would only bring up memories of him having a passionate affair with Xena in the hotel, making her stomach churn.James's expression turned serious as he spoke, "I recall you had no prior interaction with my uncle. It's your choice whom to marry, but why him?"Haley found his words perplexing. "Whom I choose is my concern. What gives you the right to interfere?"James shook his head slowly, a pained expression crossing his face. Despite Mrs. Ford Sr.'s previous explanations, he still held onto the belief that Haley had seduced his uncle as a form of retaliation against him."Haley, cut it out. My uncle isn't

Especially when it came to Haley, he tried to evade whenever feasible. As soon as dinner wrapped up, he came up with an excuse and made a quick exit. Mrs. Ford Sr. shook her head slowly as she watched his hurried departure.After dinner, Haley sat on the sofa chatting with Mrs. Ford Sr. for a while before heading home with Shane. This time, Shane drove himself and didn't bring a driver along, so Haley sat in the passenger seat.Taking the initiative, she asked, "Mr. Ford, did you know that James was coming back when you brought me here?""Yeah, James called me this morning to borrow money, so I figured he must be coming back."Haley nodded, sensing things weren't quite as straightforward. But instead of pressing further, she gazed out the window, watching the scenery pass by, lost in thought.Shane glanced at her and said, "I froze James's card. He's broke now, and I don't know if he can pay back the money."A faint smile appeared on Haley's lips. "Mr. Ford, he's your own nephew.
