Lahat ng Kabanata ng Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband: Kabanata 171 - Kabanata 180

After Mr. Ford and the principal left the classroom, Mr. Ford remained gloomy. The principal, on the other hand, chatted away, heaping praise on Mr. Ford. "Shane, your lecture this time was incredibly successful, simply fantastic! It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea on my part, but I never expected you to actually agree. Thank you so much, really..." Mr. Ford responded half-heartedly with his attitude rather chilly. However, the principal paid no mind, beaming broadly. He gave Mr. Ford's shoulder a hearty pat and asked, "Having some trouble with Miss Carter, huh?" Mr. Ford finally reacted, lifting his eyelids to glance at him. "Not really, just a minor misunderstanding." The principal spoke earnestly, "It's normal for couples to have disagreements. Just need to talk it out. Girls, you know, it's normal for them to be a bit willful and throw a little tantrum. They need to be pampered and cajoled." Mr. Ford looked helpless. "I actually wish she could be a bit more willful and

Haley did not immediately respond, but instead, she looked up at him.She asked, "Mr. Ford, do you really want us to be together and, you know, develop feelings?"Shane was momentarily stunned, then he flexed his fingers and tapped lightly on Haley's head. "What? Haven't I made it clear enough?" He truly felt like knocking on Haley's head to see what was inside. He was practically ready to rip his heart out and show it to her, and she was still asking him this kind of question.Haley rubbed the sore spot where she had been tapped, her eyebrows unconsciously arching. The heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart for days began to slowly dissipate.She continued to inquire, "Mr. Ford, I've got one more question for you. You're over thirty now, have you never had a girlfriend before, or been with other women?"She had been curious about this question for a long time.Although she often visited the Ford family in recent years, she had very little contact with Shane. The mos

After completely suppressing that urge, Shane finally straightened up. He looked at Haley, and there was a faint gleam in his dark, profound eyes. "Haley, did you agree to my proposal?"Seeing their hands intertwined, Haley's lips curved slightly, but she pretended to be puzzled. "What proposal? What did I agree to?"Shane was momentarily flustered, but he quickly caught on. His clever little wife was playing him now. He leaned in, trapping Haley in his embrace, and said slowly, word by word, "Of course, it's about fulfilling marital duties. Shall we start tonight?"Haley was stunned, her pupils dilated suddenly, filled with disbelief. "Mr. Ford, that's not what you said before. Didn't you say we should start with dating?"As she said this, she realized something was off. When she looked up, she met Shane's eyes, which were full of amusement.Shane humorously asked, "I thought you didn’t remember?"Haley blushed, softly defending herself, "I really didn't remember just now, but

At the Ford residence, Mrs. Ford Sr. was leisurely sipping her afternoon tea when the butler knocked and entered."James has returned, Madam."Mrs. Ford Sr. casually responded with a "Hmm" and, seeing the butler lingering, lazily raised an eyelid. "Is there something else?"The butler hesitated, then said, "James has brought Miss Xena."Mrs. Ford Sr. looked surprised and sneered, "I thought he would heed my warning, but it seems he's gone ahead and brought her home anyway."Unable to fathom Mrs. Ford Sr.'s thoughts, the butler asked, "Shall I arrange for them to meet you?""No need. Just send them away, and remind James not to forget what I've said."The butler respectfully nodded and left the room.Downstairs, James ushered Xena to sit on the sofa in the living room, anxiously awaiting Mrs. Ford Sr.'s appearance. Though he had assured Xena of his sincerity, he had no confidence in his heart.Not long ago, Mrs. Ford Sr. had threatened him, saying if he insisted on marrying Xen

Upon hearing that James had brought Xena to the Ford family, Evelyn could not sit still. She hurried over, her anger boiling inside her, almost ready to burst out. Seeing Evelyn's furious appearance, Xena shrank back into James's embrace, frightened. James quickly hugged her, shielding her, and frowned at Evelyn. "Mom, it's me who brought Xena home. It's not her fault.""And now you're defending her? Who am I doing this for?" Evelyn could not believe it. Why would her son fall for Xena as if he were enchanted? A woman would understand another woman best, and Evelyn could tell at a glance that Xena was not as innocent and kind as she appeared. On the contrary, she was a cunning woman, even skilled at appearing weak in front of men to win their sympathy. This was the type of woman Evelyn had always looked down upon. But unfortunately, her beloved son had fallen for her. James remained silent, but he kept Xena protected in his embrace, making his stance clear. Unable to do anyt
