Semua Bab Overflowing Affection From My Billionaire Uncle-in-Law Turned Husband: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Stella's heart jolted with astonishment, never expecting Haley to speak those words. She scrutinized Haley's expression, searching for any signs of deceit. Unfortunately, Haley remained calm and composed throughout, showing no indication of lying. Did she truly not care whether there was someone else in Shane's heart?This realization made Stella even more uncomfortable. She had thought this revelation would create a rift between Haley and Shane. Women understood women best. They absolutely could not tolerate betrayal and deception. Especially since Haley's mother had tragically met her end due to a scoundrel's betrayal, Haley must detest such matters deeply. Once the seed of suspicion took root in Haley's mind, jealousy would gradually consume her. Once a woman became jealous, there was no turning back. Then Shane would surely grow to resent her, ideally leading to a divorce. That would be her chance!But who would have thought that Haley had not taken the bait at all? Stell

However, Shane's reaction was completely opposite to what she expected. He stepped back, shaking off Stella's hand pulling at his pant leg, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. "Done with the act? I think you'd be better off in showbiz than as a jewelry designer. You might even win an award for being the best actress."Stella's smile froze at the corners of her mouth. "Shane, I don't understand what you mean. What best actress? What act? I'm hurt, don't you really feel any sympathy for me?"Seeing her pitiful expression, Shane felt a shiver down his spine. He took another step back involuntarily, then quickly ascended the stairs, reaching Haley's side. Haley seemed to be in shock, standing frozen in place.Unable to bear it, Shane reached out with his arms and pulled her into his embrace, feeling guilty. "Did I scare you? I'm sorry I'm late."Hearing his deep, gentle voice tinged with comfort, Haley's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She choked out a soft explanation, "It

When the incident first occurred, there was indeed a moment when she thought Shane might not believe her. But it was just a fleeting moment.Perhaps it was the sense of security he always provided, that unspoken assurance that no matter what happened, Shane would stand firmly by her side. As she looked at Shane, she felt a profound sense of gratitude and warmth. He truly was a good person. They hadn't been married for even a month, but Haley felt a level of care and protection she had never experienced before. Sometimes she even wondered how different things would be if it had been Shane she was engaged to from the start.Noticing Haley's complex gaze, Shane thought she was frightened and reassured her softly, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you."Haley blinked, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, I believe you."The public display of affection between the two deeply stung Stella's eyes. She rushed forward, almost frenzied, and growled, "Haley, do you have anything else to s

Shane pulled Haley tightly into his arms, his brows furrowed with concern. "Don't worry, this time I won't easily let Stella off the hook."Hearing his assurance, Haley felt a warm current flowing through her heart. The feeling of being trusted and protected was unexpectedly comforting. She had never experienced it before.She willingly wrapped her arms around Shane's neck, leaning against his chest with her bright eyes shining. "Mr. Ford, why are you so good to me?"So good that... she was almost unable to resist his charm.Shane chuckled softly and reached out to gently stroke Haley's hair. "You are my wife. It's my duty to defend and protect you.""But not every husband can do that, Mr. Ford, you really are exceptional."Haley smiled, tilting her face up to lightly kiss Shane's cheek. It was as light and gentle as a dragonfly skimming the water, carrying her unique sweet fragrance.Shane's heart raced, his blood boiling. He tightened his grip on Haley's arms, his dark eyes fi

Although the private room had the air conditioning on, she still felt a bit stuffy. Shane rested his chin on Haley's shoulder, gently shaking his head, "Nope, not hot." The girl in his embrace was delicate and carried a subtle fragrance, captivating him completely. In that moment, all he could think about was how wonderful it would be to hold her like this indefinitely.Haley had no idea what Shane was thinking, but she felt a warm flush creeping up her neck. Why was Mr. Ford suddenly so clingy? It was making it hard for her to resist.After what felt like an eternity, Shane finally managed to suppress the desire within him and slowly released Haley. "Had enough to eat? Let's head home."Haley gently hooked her pinky finger with his, looking at him expectantly. "Can I take a dessert to go?"Shane chuckled helplessly. "Are you not full yet?"Haley smiled and explained, "I am, but I want to bring one home for later."Peering into Haley's bright and sparkling eyes, Shane readily a
