59 059 Kiss me, a hard kiss
Ever since Wyatt Hale barged through the door, Zoe Bell could clearly feel a subtle change in the way the Hale Family looked at her, especially Old Sir Hale, who seemed less serious than before.
Wyatt was nearly scared out of his wits.
He believed his older brother would eventually silence him for good.
So, when William Hale and Zoe Bell were about to return to Greenland, he had no intention of following
them.
But in Zoe’s absence, William Hale took the initiative to
suggest, “Wyatt, let’s go together.”
Wyatt Hale quickly waved his hands, “No, no, I’m about to start school, I need to stay home and prepare, review my lessons!”
Brock Hale: “You didn’t study over your high school summer break, and now that you’re in college, what
exactly are you reviewing?”
“Dad…”

Wyatt clenched his teeth in annoyance, was this really his own father?
“You and your brother are ten years apart, there’s inevitably a generation gap, you should communicate more. Haven’t you been saying at home that you haven’t seen your elder brother for a long time? Now you have the opportunity right in front of you, to stay with your brother day and night. You should feel happy.”
Without any courtesy, Brock Hale kicked his younger son out the door.
“Dad, I wanted to spend more time with you and Mom.”
“Your mom and I are planning to travel soon, we won’t
be home.”

William looked at his brother. “You don’t want to live
with me?”
“Absolutely not!” Wyatt shook his head repeatedly.
“Then let’s go together.”
When Zoe Bell appeared, she saw Wyatt Hale with a

despondent face, as if he was about to cry, “What’s
wrong with Wyatt?”
William Hale: “He says he wants to go back to Greenland with us, he’s crying tears of joy.”
Wyatt Hale was furious.
Listen, was that even something a human would say?
It was clearly you who asked me to go.
You, dog!
Zoe Bell just smiled slightly, but sighed deeply in her heart.
This Wyatt Hale was about to start school, yet he was going with them again. This drama seemed endless.
Right up until the last meal before departure, everyone had their own thoughts, hoping their own family members might yet come to their rescue.
When he pinned his hopes on his mother, Lily Lott just smiled and looked towards his brother and
sister–in–law:
“When you go back to Greenland, take good care of yourselves and try to visit home often.”

Zoe nodded with a smile.
“William mentioned you injured your leg, so during the season change, you should take extra care of it,” Old Lady Hale advised.
“You can get more massages, especially avoid the cold.”
Old Lady Hale gave many instructions, and Zoe Bell felt a warmth in her heart. During her time with the Hale Family, she had spent the most time with Old Lady Hale, naturally bonding the most.
So she answered with a smile, “I know, thank you, Grandma.”
Old Sir Hale frowned:
Grandma?
He turned his head to look at his wife, his eyes filled with confusion:
When did you two get so close?
Old Lady Hale chuckled upon hearing this and gave a few more gentle admonishments.
The interaction between the two was intimate and
harmonious.

Old Sir Hale wasn’t pleased and snorted, “During meals, talk less.”
Zoe immediately fell silent.
Old Lady Hale took a deep breath, a smile on her face, and under the table, she kicked her grumpy old
husband hard!
It was only after watching them get into the car and leave that Old Lady Hale’s face fell, glared fiercely at Old Sir Hale: “I was talking to the kid, what got into you?”
“She called you grandma?”
“Are you jealous? You can call me grandma too.” Old Lady Hale snorted angrily.
“You this…” Old Sir Hale choked, his gaze flitting towards his eldest son and daughter–in–law, who were trying hard to stifle their laughter, hurriedly said, “What are you saying in front of the children? Me calling you grandma? That would be absurd.”
“Look at your attitude just now. You frightened the girl so much she dared not speak,” Old Lady Hale scoffed, “Elderly Hale, you’re sleeping in the guest room
tonight”

“Oh, why bring that up now…”
With a flick of her hand, Old Lady Hale went straight
to her room.
“This old lady, why is she still angry?”
Elderly Hale had had a fiery temper even when young, and it hardly changed to this day; plus, he naturally had a stern face, which, if he spoke harshly, indeed frightened people.
“Dad, have some tea,” Lily Lott offered Old Sir Hale a cup of warm tea.
“Lily, what do you think of that child?” Old Sir Hale asked his daughter–in–law.
“I haven’t spent much time with her, but from what I see, she’s a good kid. The key is that William likes her, and that’s more important than anything.”
“William is busy with work and doesn’t live with us, lacking someone by his side who knows how to care
for him.”
“He likes her, but she might not feel the same about him…” Old Sir Hale sighed.
Lily simply smiled. “This girl has had a hard life from a

young age and just went through some unpleasant things; give her some time. If she had fallen for William right after breaking off her engagement, you’d be even more worried.”
“From Wyatt’s description, her foster parents didn’t turn her into someone selfish and cold, so she must be good–natured at heart.”
“I believe that given time, she will eventually warm up,”
Old Sir Hale nodded, “Let’s hope so; you’re always so thoughtful.”
He glanced at his son sitting not far away.
Just knowing how to joke about him.
What kind of a family have I raised? From the young ones to the old, hardly a few can give peace of mind.
“Brock Hale!”
“Dad?”
“You should be going to work!” Normally, he couldn’t stay at home for a few hours without needing to go to
work.
Brock Hale frowned, “Dad, it’s Saturday today.”

“Then get out of my sight!”
Annoyed, seeing him just made him angrier.

At this moment, as the car drove away from the Old House of Hale Family, Zoe Bell finally took a deep breath. Wyatt Hale was still not in the same car, allowing her to relax.
William Hale looked at her, “These past few days have been tough on you.”
“Not at all.” Her days at the Old House of Hale Family had been comfortable, but her marriage to William Hale was entirely a farce, always fearing that their ruse would be revealed, making her anxious.
Furthermore, Old Lady Hale kept giving her clothes, and before leaving, she even filled their trunk with them.
The nicer they were to her, the guiltier she felt.
She felt miserable inside.
If she knew the truth, she would surely be disappointed in her.

She had thought the Hale Family were all fierce and powerful people, having seen on the internet that the Hale Family were all formidable overlords, and that they were at odds with William Hale, so playing a part with him didn’t weigh on her.
But the reality was not so.
“Mr. Hale, your relationship with your family isn’t quite what I expected,” Zoe Bell frowned.
“I’ve never spoken to you about my relationship with them.”
Zoe Bell choked back.
That was indeed true; it was all hearsay she picked up from entertainment gossip, William Hale had never personally mentioned anything.
She suddenly felt duped.
Was William Hale tricking her?
“Wife, listen to some music?” Zac Cruz, who was driving, suddenly spoke up, interrupting her thoughts.
“I’m fine with anything.”
Zac Cruz played some soothing music, and as the car

entered the highway, Zoe Bell started feeling sleepy. At the Hale residence, the bed had been too small, even making her afraid to turn over, naturally affecting her sleep.
William Hale had been immersed in work until Zoe
Bell’s head tilted…
and rested on his shoulder.
He lowered his head to look at her, a few stray strands of hair on her forehead, and he reached out to gently tuck them behind her ear, turning his head to kiss her
on the side of her forehead.
Zac Cruz: “?”
Do you dare to kiss her while she’s asleep,
and on the forehead no less?
Are you that innocent?
You’ve been yearning for her for so long; recently,
you’re not focused at work but quite proactive after
work.
Kiss her on the mouth! Kiss her hard!
