31 Hug: It’s too late, I’ll take you
home (2 updates)
William Hale had an excellent memory and
immediately recalled that this was the most famous
club in Greenland! a
Zoe Bell would never go there on her own initiative.
Wyatt Hale!
Zac Cruz stood by, watching as his boss’s face gradually turned ashen, and took a deep breath:
Young Master Wyatt, take care of yourself!
At this moment inside Nightless, within the dance floor, men and women were dancing closely together, bodies pressed against each other, the music booming. Wyatt Hale couldn’t help but sneeze.
“Sis, I feel like there’s too much negative energy here; I keep sneezing.”
“That’s because the air conditioning is strong.”
“No, my intuition tells me the vibe here doesn’t agree

with me.”
Wyatt Hale thought that if something blocked his way when he went out, or if his car broke down, that was a sign from the heavens that it was not a good day to leave the house.
But since he rarely got to be indulgent, of course, he wasn’t willing to leave.
Zoe Bell was so annoyed that she got a headache; fortunately, once the two stepped into a private room and closed the door, they were isolated from the noise
outside.
“Did your brother allow you to come here?”
“If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, he won’t know. We just need to go back early,” she replied. ”
After all, if anything happened, she would just hide
behind her sister–in–law.
With a sister–in–law at home, there was nothing to worry about!
“Sis, have you been here before?” Wyatt Hale asked curiously.
Zoe Bell shook her head. She had a bit of a talent for

dancing, but it still required arduous practice; she hardly had time to go out and play. Moreover, the expenses here were high, and the Bell family imposed a lot of restrictions on her spending; she couldn’t afford to come here.
“Then let’s open our eyes together and just think of it as a relaxing outing. Life should be enjoyed, after all,”
he said.
Wyatt Hale ordered some drinks, a colorful array of beverages arrayed before them, a dazzling sight to see.
“Do you often come to places like this?” Zoe Bell asked Wyatt Hale.
“I’ve been here a few times with my other brothers at home,” he said as he picked up a cocktail and handed it to Zoe Bell, “I specially requested the non–alcoholic version. Try it.”
Bringing his sister–in–law out for drinks?
Wyatt Hale didn’t have the guts for that!
“Are you drinking alcohol?” Zoe Bell frowned.
“After I came of age, the older brothers at home said I had grown up and took me out to see the world. That

very evening, I drank too much. When my brother came to pick me up, I threw up all over him.”
Zoe Bell chuckled softly, “Was he angry?”
“Definitely angry, but he was afraid that if I drank like that and went home causing a ruckus, I’d disturb our parents. So, he took me to his own place instead,” he recounted.
“My brother, well, don’t be fooled by his stern
appearance; he’s actually a good person.”
“Mr. Hale is indeed a good person,” Zoe Bell affirmed. “You seem to be quite scared of your brother.”
“Of course, he’s ten years older than me, and he was always good at studying. When I was in elementary school, he was already accepted to university without taking entrance exams, so he was the one who attended every parent–teacher meeting for me.”
“Why did he go?”
“My parents didn’t want to go; they were afraid of losing face.”
“Oh, there was this one time when he was writing a

thesis, and I was flipping through his university books next to him. My dad told me not to mess with his stuff. Do you know what my brother said?”
“What?”
“He told my dad not to worry about me and let me look through them. I was really touched at the time, but then…” Wyatt Hale lifted his glass and took a big gulp, “then he said that with my IQ, I probably wouldn’t make it to university, so at least I could say I had touched a university textbook and gained some insight.”
“Pfft-” Zoe Bell couldn’t hold back her laughter.
William’s sharp tongue was something she had experienced firsthand the first time he scolded Kevin Bell and Mina Bell for their lack of manners.
“Since then, I’ve been determined to prove myself, and I finally made it to university!” he declared.
“You’re amazing!” Zoe Bell was very supportive.
Wyatt Hale’s face beamed with pride, “But in my
freshman year, when I wanted to start a business with friends, my brother shot me down again.”

“What did he say?”
“He said he wasn’t afraid of me indulging in eating, drinking, and playing, but he was afraid of me getting ambitious and wanting to start a business. He said that I would end up bankrupting our family!”
The more Wyatt Hale spoke, the more aggrieved he felt; he took another drink and became quite emo.
Zoe Bell saw that he was upset and didn’t dare to laugh too loudly. She reached out and patted his head, then casually picked up a drink from the table and clinked it with his, comforting him not to be sad.
“Sis, pity me with all my skills and talents, with no place to show them off.”
“Everyone is good at different things; you may not have a talent for business, but you’ll excel in other areas,” Zoe Bell comforted him.
“I think I’m fairly good–looking. Can I do livestreaming?”
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you think I’m ugly?”

“That’s not what I mean.” Zoe Bell hurriedly consoled him, and in the back–and–forth, she had unwittingly drunk some alcohol as well.
When William Hale found them, his face was black
with anger.

“Um…” Wyatt Hale heard a noise, looked up toward the door, “Sis, look, someone’s coming.”
Zoe Bell tilted her slightly drunken face up, staring at William Hale.
“He looks a bit like my brother,” Wyatt Hale said, and then couldn’t stop giggling foolishly.”
“Wyatt Hale!” William Hale felt nothing but headache.
The little brother was scared out of his wits!
Shit, it really was his brother!
His tone was cool and exceptionally indifferent.
Especially his eyes, too sharp, as if they were the chilling wind of deep winter.
Dry, sharply cutting against the face.
It felt like the oxygen in the private room had been sucked out in an instant, suffocating; Zac Cruz and

Kyle Lowe stood at the door, not daring to enter.
William Hale strode over to Zoe Bell.
She was fair and pretty, with natural fine eyebrows and lychee–shaped eyes, a face that naturally drew people in. At this moment, her cheeks flushed with red, she
was even more captivating.
“Had some alcohol?”
“A little.”
She had drunk quite a bit, listening to Wyatt Hale’s complaints; she inevitably recalled her past at the Bell Family’s.
Even after preparing herself mentally, criticism from
Kevin Bell still felt uncomfortable.
After drinking, it felt even worse.
“Mr. Hale…” Zoe Bell’s voice was tight and hot, “Aren’t you working? Why did you come here?”
William Hale glanced at his brother out of the corner of his eye, then squatted down, half–sitting in front of Zoe Bell, eyes level with hers, and took the glass from her hands and set it on the table. “It’s late; I came to take you home.”

Zoe Bell’s heart throbbed fiercely.
His gaze was too gentle.
Even his voice was exceptionally smooth and soothing, especially compared to Kevin Bell’s scolding. She felt an unexplainable sourness in her nose. Perhaps it was the alcohol going to her head. She suddenly lowered her head-
The next second,
her head rested on William Hale’s shoulder.
“Mr. Hale…” Her voice was husky, her breath hot from the alcohol, and it landed right on his ear and neck.
“Hmm?”
“Can I, hug you?”
William Hale’s lips curved in a smile, “You can.”
Zoe Bell stretched out her arms, wrapped them around his neck, and buried her head in his chest. Her face
was partly resting against his neck.
Warmth transmitted…
Soft and hot.

“Let’s go home,” her voice whispered in his ear, tickling the tip of his heart.
Zoe Bell wasn’t as drunk as she seemed. Just as she
was about to let go of the hands around his neck, William Hale suddenly reached out; one arm passed under her knees, and the other wrapped around her
waist.
Lifting her from the sofa.
Zoe Bell instinctively held her breath, her skin growing even hotter from the alcohol.
“Mr. Hale, you are a good person.”
William Hale chuckled lowly; this good man, the thoughts in his mind right now, they were all quite
wicked…
