23 023 Sharing the same bed for the first time, is this not okay?
Zoe Bell’s face flushed red all at once as William Hale
set down his tablet and stood up to walk toward her.
Getting closer,
closer and closer.
Until she could feel the breath that belonged to him gently brushing against her face.
Her fingers tightened slightly, “I didn’t mean that, I just think it’s getting late, staying up all the time is harmful to your health, you should go to bed early.”
As she was feeling nervous, William Hale suddenly let out a low chuckle.
His voice was magnetic and deep, and when he was close, his laughter made her ears tickle.
The distance between them was subtly just right, not too close, but she could clearly feel the warmth of his breath on her face.
He looked down and said:
23 023 Sharing the same bed for the first time, this not okay?
“I understand, Mrs. Hale.”
“You go back to your room and rest, I’ll reply to a few messages, and then I’ll go to sleep immediately.”
His voice was clear, gentle, and melodious; Zoe’s palms were hot, and she said with a tight throat, “Then I will go to sleep first.”
She ran off very quickly,
because she could clearly feel a gaze following her from behind!
After Zoe went upstairs, William Hale then opened his tablet; in one group chat, a few friends were talking about the recent instability in the stock market, lamenting their significant losses.
William Hale suddenly interjected: [You guys chat, I’m going to sleep.]
[Hale, it’s barely even late.]
[Don’t leave, man, it’s rare that you’re online. Tell me, which stocks are you liking? I’m losing so much, I can barely afford pants.]
William Hale: [Just now my wife said, staying up late is
had for your health.1

Everyone: […]
[It’s different for me, I’m married.]
[Rather than studying stocks, better to invest more in yourselves and the ones you love.]
[My wife is still waiting for me, you guys chat.]
If they weren’t wary of his “authority,” someone would probably reply with: [Get lost, you motherf#@%&*…]
The chat remained silent,
but William Hale could feel:
They were holding their phones, probably cursing horribly.

Meanwhile, Zoe Bell, back in her room and lying in bed, had her body tensed up, paying keen attention to any noise outside, her heart filled with extra trepidation as if before the start of a race.
Her heart pounded, as if facing a great enemy.
About ten minutes later, William Hale pushed the door and entered; Zoe heard his footsteps and went into the
bathroom.

Soon after, the sound of water flowed.
He showered quickly, and with the noise of the hairdryer, there was a rustle, and when Zoe Bell felt the bed behind her sink, the blanket on the far side was lifted, and his woody fragrance began to aggressively invade all her senses.
She turned over to face him, which quite surprised
William Hale.
Being married meant being ready to accept everything, which naturally included physical contact.
Zoe’s fingers curled and tightened inside the blanket, “Mr. Hale, I don’t have much experience with this, so…”
“You’ve been with Brandon Stone for so long and even got engaged, no experience?”
“No.”
William Hale did not speak, but his dark eyes suddenly flashed a speck of light.
Zoe’s voice tense, she slowly sat up, “But if you need it,
I can.”
“Really you can?” William Hale asked back.

She steeled her heart as if making an important decision and nodded firmly.
The next second,
William Hale suddenly leaned over, the dim light in the room cascading from above his head, blocking most of the brightness, and what Zoe Bell could see in her dim vision were his freshly showered, still moist and warm
chest.
And his neck flushing slightly with veins, his sexy Adam’s apple…
This overstepping distance made her cheeks burn hot.
She could almost feel the heat radiating from his body, making it hard for her eyes to find a place to rest.
Almost instinctively, she wanted to move her gaze
away.
But William Hale reached out, brushed her hair at the back, and supported the back of her neck.
His hand was large, the palm wide and warm, forcing her to meet his gaze…
He seemed keen on taking cold showers; his fingertips
were cool.

They touched the back of her neck, her body stiffened, her breath halted, and even her heartbeat stopped abruptly.
The icy touch not only failed to dispel the heat but seemed to ignite a fire, scalding and boiling every inch of her skin, making her face turn red.
“Is this not okay?” he whispered, his breath warm and close.
His breathing was intermittent, soothing yet scorching.
It was as if…
He was seducing her!
Zoe Bell felt her whole body becoming restless; her fingers clenched the blanket beneath her.
“I didn’t say it wasn’t okay,” Zoe Bell gritted her teeth, speaking defiantly.
His eyes, like a wolf, fervently intense.
As if carrying a heat that could devour everything.
Slowly drawing closer,
making her heart tremor, her face all ablaze with heat.

Zoe Bell dared not meet his gaze, slowly closed her eyes, but felt his breath gradually vanish from her face.
And the hand caressing her neck also let go.
Then, that hand gently smoothed her hair, settling on top of her head, and just lightly rubbed, “I’m looking for a wife, not just to solve this kind of issue; get some rest early.”
Zoe Bell hadn’t yet opened her eyes, only feeling his breath on her ear, the warmth and tingling sensation making her body tense up.
“Zoe, good night-”
Zoe Bell slowly opened her eyes to see him, William Hale had already turned off the light.
Darkness began to engulf the room, with only the moonlight outside the window flowing like water inside, saturating her heart.
She thought it would be hard to fall asleep, but probably because her nerves had been tight for so long, suddenly relaxing, she fell asleep quite swiftly.
William Hale, however, found it difficult to sleep, turning his head to look at the person beside him,
23 023 Sharing the same bod for the first time, this not okay?
silently chuckling.
Sleeping so soundly next to a man.
She really was…
Completely unguarded!

When Zoe Bell woke, William Hale had already left, the blanket beside her was cold; she stretched, reached out to touch her cellphone on the nightstand, there
was a message.
The moment she opened it, all sleepiness vanished!
It was a bank notification, alerting her to several deposits, she was puzzled, wondering who would transfer money to her, and when she clicked on the message, she was stunned.
They were large transfers, split into several amounts.
…five figures, six figures, seven figures…
So much money!
She guessed it must have been from William Hale, Zoe Bell immediately called him, “Mr. Hale, did you transfer
money to me?”
23 023 Sharing the same bed for the first time, this not okay?
“Did you receive it?”
“This is…”
“According to the agreement, this is your monthly allowance after marriage.”
Zoe Bell was dumbfounded; she had been in a daze when discussing the marriage contract, indeed there was a stipulation about allowance, but this was way too much.
Zac Cruz, driving the car, struggled to suppress a laugh.
The money must have knocked her out.
Indeed, Zoe Bell was dumbfounded; after all, back at the Bell family, she had to diligently record every bit of her spending money.
After she had washed up and had breakfast, Nanny Parker went out for a bit, and she browsed through some dance–related recruitment information in Greenland on her phone, considering finding a temporary job, as she was idle at home.
The phone vibrated, surprisingly it was from her foster mother Vivi Lange.

23 023 Sharing the same bed for the first time, this not okay?
She took a deep breath and pressed the answer
button.
“Zoe, where are you?” Vivi Lange’s voice was anxious, “I’ve searched all the places you could go in the past. few days and haven’t found you.”
Zoe Bell sneered inwardly.
When she first entered the Bell family, she had thought the foster mother kind and approachable, but later she came to understand:
She was even more hypocritical than Kevin Bell.
Looking for her?
Brandon Stone could find her doorstep, and the Bell family certainly had the capability; if they hadn’t come, it was probably because they hadn’t really searched.
Even, not a single call, after all…
She hadn’t blocked her foster parents yet.
