the parents, call out ‘husband‘?
Old House of Hale Family
After Old Sir Hale woke up, he saw that his eldest son
had already returned and frowned, “You still know to
come back? You don’t care at all about your own son’s
affairs!”
“Did you sleep well?”
Old Sir Hale coughed lightly, “I was just resting my eyes, rejuvenating myself!”
“You were snoring.”
“I’m just old, my breathing is heavy!”
Having said that, he used the excuse to walk around the yard, constantly looking around.
At first, the watchdog wagged its tail nonstop upon seeing him.
Lately, the dog ignored him completely.
“Stop looking, they said they will arrive in the evening, and it’s only a few o’clock now.”
12:55-

Old Lady Hale saw him wandering around in front of her and felt a headache coming on.
Since learning that her grandson would bring his wife back, she had been tossing and turning in bed last
night, like flipping pancakes, and had gotten up before
dawn.
The dog wasn’t even awake yet when he began to
wander around.
“What am I looking at?” Old Sir Hale frowned.
“Aren’t you waiting for William and that girl to come
back?”
“What a joke! Why would I wait for them?” Old Sir Hale snorted coldly, “I can’t wait to kick that rascal out of the house. He took his Passport Card last time and ran off overnight. Does he even remember I’m his grandfather?”
“All for nothing, this worthless boy!”
Brock Hale laughed softly, “Dad, the news recently mentioned that marriage no longer requires a Passport Card.”
“Had you been this way a few days earlier, I’m afraid he

would have married and had children before telling
you.”
Old Sir Hale snorted lightly, “He wouldn’t dare! I’d break his legs!”
The Hale Family was speechless:
Of all things, it’s your mouth that’s the toughest!
Around five o’clock, the sun set in the west, and the heat hadn’t yet faded.
As the car left the highway and entered the suburban area, the trees on both sides were lush, and the remaining light of the sun filtered through the gaps between the tree branches, spilling into the car, creating a mottled pattern of light and shadow.
“We’re almost there.” William Hale reminded.
They were going to stay here for three to five days, and Zoe Bell was still very nervous.
The old mansion was away from the bustling city, with two large stone lions at the entrance and a giant Tai Mountain stone on the left.

After the iron gate opened, there were neatly trimmed green plants and ancient trees on both sides, artificial hills and flowing water, pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions. The white walls and black tiles merged with modern design. The mountains, rocks, and trees were strategically placed to offer magnificent views from different angles.
Zoe Bell was a bit surprised; she thought the Hale family lived in a villa.
“My grandmother really likes southern garden design. She and my grandfather met in the south. When the old house was renovated, my uncle turned the house into a garden.” William Hale explained to her.
“Your uncle did the renovation?”
“Madam, you’ve searched the internet so much, did you not know that our grandfather’s brother is a designer?” Zac Cruz smiled as he parked the car,
Zoe Bell really did not know this.
There was very little description of this uncle of the Hale family online because he did not inherit the family business, and there wasn’t even a single photo of him.

If he was into design, it seems he preferred to keep a low profile.
As the car parked, the sunset fell on the bluestone steps. When Zoe Bell got out of the car, William Hale was already waiting at the car door.
Zac Cruz took the prepared gifts from the trunk.
Wyatt Hale and Kyle Lowe’s car was still behind.
Because Wyatt Hale was delayed at a rest area eating, they would arrive about twenty minutes later than the
others.
“Let’s go in first.” William Hale looked at Zoe Bell.
“Okay.”
A stone bridge, a long corridor, passing through a flower hall before reaching the main hall.
Zoe Bell could only marvel:
Television shows are still understated.
She was nervous, especially upon entering the front door where the interior was furnished uniformly with huanghuali furniture, antique yet elegant, exuding a rich aura. She immediately noticed Old Sir Hale sitting

on the center sofa.
Dressed in black formal attire, his hand caressing a
cane, his frequent frowning had created very deep lines between his brows.
Beside him sat an old lady in a white silk robe.
On the adjacent double sofa, a middle–aged man appeared very refined. The woman beside him, roughly in her early forties, had a nose and lips that greatly
resembled Wyatt Hale’s.
These two must be William Hale’s father, Brock Hale, and stepmother, Lily Lott.
Old Sir Hale’s eyes were dark and sharp, like those of a hawk.
Her eyes sharp and direct, Zoe Bell, who was relatively inexperienced, felt a little thud in her heart as he looked at her.
She felt inexplicably guilty.
The next second, someone hooked her fingers.
William Hale gradually grasped her hand and tightened it, “Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Aunt Lott, this is Zoe Bell, my wife.”

When had the Hale Family ever seen William take such
initiative?
They were internally shocked, yet outwardly calm and composed.
Old Sir Hale grumbled in his heart:
Living so long,
one really encounters all sorts of strange things.

Just as Zoe was about to call them by their names, heard the old man snort coldly, “You still have the face to come back?”
“You went off and got married without saying a word, you sure are capable, huh? If you were going to get married, you should not have brought anyone home!”
“It really is, now that you’re grown up, you think you’re so tough.”
“I just wanted to find someone I love. Is that wrong?” William retorted.
“No, it’s not wrong, but your true love came way too quickly! It’s like you just grabbed someone off the street and married them!” Old Sir Hale lifted his cup to drink some tea. but his gaze still lingered on Zoe.

“You’ve come back to mock us, huh!”
Zoe was astonished; the atmosphere was truly full of
tension!
Old Sir Hale stroked his cane, sizing up Zoe, this young
woman…
She looks younger than her actual age.
Quite handsome, actually.”
Who knows what methods his grandson used to bring
her back.
Zoe, however, took a deep breath.
It seemed like…
she really was the one he’d picked up off the street.
Boldly, William said, “Then you go and pick someone up from the street, see if you can find someone as beautiful as my wife.”
Wife?
Old Sir Hale almost choked on his tea.
Zoe felt her ears getting hot, especially since William had never publicly called her his wife before.

She tried to control her emotions, smiling gently.
“Wife? Calling her quite affectionately, aren’t you?” Old
Sir Hale couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment.
“Alright, go ahead and sit down, you must be tired after such a long drive, dinner will be ready soon.” Old Lady Hale spoke up, stopping the old man from continuing.
Yet, his eyes still firmly fixed on Zoe.
He had three sons, one of whom had not yet married, and the eldest and middle sons each had two boys, so he had four grandsons, but no granddaughters.
When his sons married, he treated their wives like daughters, watching Zoe, he sighed internally.
This girl is indeed wonderful.
She walks slowly and speaks softly.
“You’ve been on the train all day, you must be tired, have some snacks first.”
Lily handed Zoe a plate of pastries, and she smiled in thanks, “Thank you, Auntie.”
The food specifically passed to her, she had to eat.

And this person was William’s stepmother.
Rumors on the internet described her as mean and small–minded, unable to tolerate William, treating him badly, which is why he ended up living with the elderly Hale couple.
Looking at her in person, she seemed quite pleasant.
Zoe picked up a piece of coconut cake closest to her
hand.
It was sweeter than she had expected, filled with coconut flakes, and just one bite felt overwhelmingly
sweet.
“What’s wrong?” William leaned closer to her, his voice
low.
“Nothing, it’s quite tasty,” she responded.
Zoe always remembered the words William had said:
Show off the love.
Thinking about how William had just referred to her; Zoe secretly cheered herself on and asked, “Husband, do you want to try some?” a
“Ahem-” This time Old Sir Hale genuinely choked on

Old Lady Hale frowned deeply:
Such an inexperienced display,
truly embarrassing!
