Zoe Bell wanted to chat with William Hale, but she never found the right moment, and in the blink of an eye, the day to head to Capital City arrived. She specifically sought out Wyatt Hale to ask about the preferences of the Hale Family, wanting to prepare some gifts for their first meeting.
“I heard that it will be just grandpa and grandma, with my dad and mom, and my second uncle’s family and my little uncle might not even come.”
“They’re not in Capital City?”
“That…” Wyatt Hale scratched his head, “I’m not sure.”
Actually, his brother had specifically instructed him, fearing that the entire family’s presence might intimidate his sister–in–law.
After all, they had a large family,
mainly a lot of men!
His second uncle had two cousins, plus the little uncle.

When everyone gathered in the same room, all staring at her, it was indeed quite intimidating.
He himself couldn’t stand it.
“So, what do Old Sir Hale and the old lady, and the uncles and aunts like?” Zoe Bell opened the memo app
on her phone.
“Sister–in–law, you can’t do it this way.”
“What’s wrong?”
“All this Old Sir Hale, old lady, uncles, and aunts, we’re all family. Even though there hasn’t been a ceremony, they are still your grandparents and parents.”
“Sister–in–law, you’re just too shy, too polite. My grandpa and my dad, they are quite fierce. You’ll easily get bullied at our house if you act like this. I’m a typical example; I have no status at home at all.”
Lately, Zoe hadn’t seen William Hale, so she went online to do some research.
In short:
Not one of them was easy to deal with.

Fortunately, the day before departure, William Hale came back and was working in his study. Zoe Bell, holding the incense sticks she had already made, saw Zac Cruz coming downstairs. “Is Mr. Hale still busy?”
“He has a lot of work recently.”
“May I go in?”
“Of course, he should be free now.”
Recently, that old man had been in a bad mood, making Zac Cruz walk on eggshells at work, afraid of accidentally angering him. He had just suggested, “Sir, we’re soon returning to Capital City, if we’re not staying at the old house, should we tidy up at home?”
His boss didn’t respond, which probably meant he agreed with the suggestion.
“Should I also prepare some daily necessities for the lady?”
The old man still didn’t react.
“Oh, right, isn’t there a private cinema at home? It’s usually unused, so how about we redo it, maybe create a starry sky ceiling?”

That was when William Hale finally gave him a glance
and said in a flat voice, “You’ve lost this month’s
bonus.”
Zac Cruz was dumbfounded.
What had he said?
He had almost made it to the end of the month, and
now his bonus was gone?
The sky was falling for a working man!
To this day, he still didn’t understand what he had said wrong, but he was certain he wouldn’t take out his frustration on the lady, so Zac Cruz let Zoe Bell go upstairs.
When she knocked on the door, the person inside didn’t sound very pleased.
“Is there anything else?” William Hale thought it was
Zac Cruz.
“It’s me.”
William Hale paused.
Zoe Bell, without waiting for a reply from the person inside, pursed her lips. He definitely didn’t like being

disturbed while working; she had probably overstepped.
Just as she was about to turn and leave, the door opened from the inside.
He, opened the door for her
“What’s the matter?” William Hale looked at her.
“The incense sticks are ready, I wanted you to try them out. I asked Zac Cruz, he said you were free for now.”
William Hale stepped aside to let her in, then took out a beautiful Incense Holder.
He took an incense stick from Zoe Bell, lit it with a lighter, put out the flame, and placed it into the Incense Holder. The two of them waited at a distance as the scent filled the air.
William Hale walked to the window and opened it a crack to let the air circulate.
Zoe Bell was slightly astonished.
Mr. Hale truly understood the art of appreciating
incense.

Proper ventilation allowed the smoke to dissipate quickly, making the fragrance purer. This was often done when savoring agarwood, though it also depended on personal habits.
Zoe Bell watched the smoke rise straight from the Incense Holder before dispersing in all directions.
William Hale, always perceptive, said, “Do you have something to say to me?”
Zoe Bell nodded and walked over to him, “We’re going to Capital City tomorrow, and I’ve prepared some gifts. I’m not sure if they’re appropriate?”
“Tell me, and I’ll help you strategize.”
“I…”
William Hale casually inserted a hand into his pocket, while his other hand fiddled with a metal lighter. He seriously looked at her, then nodded after she finished speaking, “That’s pretty good.”
“So, when we go back, is there anything else we need to be careful of?”
After Zoe Bell finished speaking, she didn’t get a response for a long time. When she looked at William

Hale, she found that he was staring intently at her, his
gaze direct, and a hint of a smile seemed to be lurking at the corners of his mouth.
She paused, “Mr. Hale…”
Before she could finish speaking, William Hale suddenly leaned in close.
Zoe instinctively stepped back, but her wrist was caught by him.
Caught off guard, her wrist was pulled by him, suddenly yanked toward him. Zoe, unprepared, stumbled towards him.
Subconsciously,
she reached out,
and pressed her hand against his shoulder to keep from falling entirely into his arms.
For a moment, their breaths intertwined and hovered, carrying the sweet scent of litchi incense.
Entangling, ambiguous!
Zoe’s heartbeat uncontrollably quickened. They were so close that their mingling breaths ground out a thick

warmth.
“Mr. Hale?” Her voice carried an uncontrollable slight
tremor.
“This is what you should be cautious of, you’re still not used to my proximity.” William Hale continued to stare at her, his brow still cool and detached, his eyes calm, “Zoe, just now…”
“You shouldn’t have dodged.”
“Going back like this, you’ll likely give us away sooner
or later.”
William Hale spoke, releasing the hand that held her
wrist.
“That was too sudden.” Zoe indeed got a scare.
“Once we get back home, it won’t be as simple as dealing with Wyatt. It’s not enough to just fool him with a handhold, you might need to do more. If you’re not ready, we can postpone and return later.”
William Hale glanced out the window, where the dense night settled in his eyes.
Turning into endless darkness.

His gaze was intense, and his tone seemed suppressed and muffled.
Do more…
Zoe was no fool, she naturally understood what he
meant.
The return to the Capital City had been decided for tomorrow, and changing plans at the last minute would surely displease the Hale Family elders.
“Mr. Hale, I can do it.” Zoe’s voice was firm.
William Hale looked at her, “You can do what…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zoe suddenly moved in close, rose on her tiptoes, quickly raised her head, and kissed him on the face.
Her lips,
soft, were warm.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, her kiss landed then quickly fled, so fast that William Hale had no time
to react.
While Zoe’s heart was pounding like thunder, racing
fast.

Her entire face quickly flushed with a light pink.
“Like this, is it okay?” Zoe looked at him.
William Hale’s gaze was sharp and edged, like a wolf hunting in the dark, intimidating.
His fingers suddenly loosened,
“Clack-” Zoe heard the thud of the lighter falling to the ground.
Immediately, her waist tightened.
His hand clasped around her waist and pressed her firmly against himself.
Before she could react, he bowed his head,
assertively,
restrainedly,
yet with a ferocious momentum, he kissed her.”
The room was filled with the aroma of litehi incense, spreading out as if sugar had been sprinkled in the air, a room full of sweetness.
“Zoe…”
His breath so close,
