“Sister–in–law… Sister–in–law…”
Wyatt Hale felt that the issue with the Bell family’s son might be unfounded, and he was worried that Zoe Bell would feel disgusted and upset after hearing it, so he chose the most unlikely thing to say.
However, Zoe Bell responded:
I really like him!
Her eyes were incredibly firm.
* Wyatt Hale cautiously glanced at his elder brother
from the corner of his eye.
The man had a profound look in his eyes, enigmatic to others.
He felt his back instantly covered in cold sweat, “Sister–in–law, you can’t talk nonsense like that, don’t joke with me.”
“I’m not joking with you, I really do like you a lot.”
“Apart from having a decent face, my academics aren’t good, and I’m also a klutz; I just like to watch the

excitement, play games, and hang around aimlessly all day…”
“Don’t speak so poorly of yourself, I think you are quite nice,” Zoe Bell said with laughter in her eyes.
“That’s all an illusion, I’m pretending!”
Wyatt Hale was on the verge of saying:
I’m just a piece of trash, don’t like me!
Seeing Zoe Bell laugh softly as he argued and argued red–faced, he said:
“Don’t laugh, I’m discussing this matter with you very seriously. Liking me is a dead–end road,” Wyatt Hale frowned, “My feelings for you are only of brotherly
love.”
Upon hearing this, Zoe Bell burst into laughter.
Beyond brotherly love, what else could there be
between the two of them?
Wyatt Hale frowned, realizing his sister–in–law was probably just teasing him for fun, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The sister–in–law of the past was so cute.
75 Mr. Hale: Then do you like me?.
They say that a couple grows to resemble each other, the sister–in–law has really picked up bad habits from
his brother.
After today’s doctor’s rounds, Zoe Bell also proceeded with the hospital discharge, and she still preferred to pack up her personal items by herself. It wasn’t until she entered the washroom and her phone vibrated that she saw some group messages.
[Did you hear about Zoe Bell seducing her own brother? Is it true or false?]
[The little son from the Bell family? How old is he?]
[I’m at the same school as him, he’s a good student; he suddenly went abroad, which everyone found strange. If he were really going abroad, there would definitely be a plan in place, so how could he leave halfway through a semester?]
They seemed to be unaware that Zoe Bell was also in the group, chatting without restraint.
It was then that Zoe Bell understood why William Hale
<
75 Mr. Halo: Then do you like me?
had someone publicly slap Mina Bell at the hospital.
He hoped that such rumors would stay within the hospital.
But in today’s society, the more perverse and sensational the story, the easier it is to attract traffic and gain more attention.
There were even vivid descriptions of how Zoe Bell lured the son of the Bell family, as if the observer was there, knowing the Bell family’s secrets better than she did, the person involved.
Triggering memories, Zoe Bell recalled many things from the past…
The little son of the Bell family was named Lucas Bell.
He was five years younger than her, only 19 this year.
Kevin Bell and his wife placed great importance on this son, but they were very busy and hired a nanny to take care of him.
They didn’t let her touch him,
Once, when Zoe Bell brought him food, Vivi Lange scolded her, saying the things she touched were dirty and not suitable for her son to eat.

75 Mr. Hale: Then do you like me?
Even so, their relationship was still not bad.
Until…
Zoe Bell’s thoughts were interrupted by a series of
knocks on the door.
“Are you not done packing yet?” William Hale pushed the door open and entered.
“Almost,” Zoe Bell said, head slightly lowered and thinking of Lucas Bell, she inevitably felt troubled; William Hale was adept at picking up on emotions and immediately detected something was off with her, “I’ll
be finished in a moment.”
No sooner had Zoe Bell spoken,
“Bang-” The washroom door closed.
She paused, and when she looked up, William Hale was already walking towards her
Zoe Bell was organizing the skincare produets on the washbasin shelf, and through the mirror, she clearly saw William Hale embrace her from behind, stretching his long arms and bracing his hands on either side of the basin, encircling her beneath him.
“Mr. Hale?”
75 Mr. Hale: Then do you like me?
Wyatt Hale, Zac Cruz, and Kyle Lowe were all outside, so Zoe Bell kept her voice very low.
“Zoe…” His voice was right by her ear.
Through the mirror, Zoe Bell could see him turning his head, his breath kissing over her ear, causing a ticklish
sensation.
The person in the mirror, her ears hot, her face red.
There were people outside, and ultimately, she was
timid.
The sensation of heat made her breathing and heartbeat chaotic.
His kisses spread from behind her ear…
The warmth, like a fire sparking a blaze,
on her neck, on the side of her face,
in the mirror, Zoe Bell’s cheeks were tinted with a soft
blush.
Her breathing was rapid and disordered, her expression uncontrollable, she didn’t dare to look.
When her body was turned around, her legs were lifted, and she sat on the sink.

75 Mr Hale: Then do you like me?
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck..
That posture,
was so ambiguous it made her feel ashamed.
She bit her lip hard, fearing that even a slight sound would escape, and she’d be too embarrassed to face
anyone.
“Zoe,” his breath was biting her lip, “Do you really like Wyatt?”
“He’s very cute.”
Zoe Bell’s voice was quick and fractured.
“What about me?”
His voice was very low, grinding, whispering, kissing her lips, “Do you like me, or not?”
That question made all of Zoe Bell’s thoughts come to a sudden halt.
The kiss just now had been ardent enough, and the question he threw out made her feel breathless.
His eyes, unlike the usual cool and severe look, were

His lips were warm.
And so was his body.
His hand rested on her waist, his fingertips kneading her slender waist, both hot and itchy, Zoe Bell didn’t know what he really meant by his words?
What part of it was sincere?
She didn’t dare to answer.
Having been through certain experiences, Zoe Bell didn’t dare to give her heart away carelessly.
Seeing her silent for a long time, William Hale just laughed softly, “Why aren’t you speaking? You were quite lively when teasing Wyatt just now, weren’t you? Have you lost your nerve now? Are you that sensitive to teasing?”
He reached out, stroked Zoe Bell’s hair, and when he lifted her off the sink, he noticed a small wet spot on her buttocks.
“I’ll go get you some clothes to change into.”
Zoe Bell nodded.
After William Hale left, she finally breathed a sigh of
<
75 Mr Hale: Then do you like me?
relief.
When William Hale asked that question earlier, her heartbeat had almost stopped.
He was too adept at hiding his emotions, she didn’t know how much truth or falsehood was in his words.
It’s often said that strategic marriages in rich families should be wary of giving away one’s true feelings. Moreover, given their ambiguous relationship, if she were to say she liked him…
Would he be happy,
or would he think she was overstepping?
Zoe Bell’s mind was in turmoil until she left the hospital, all she could think about was William Hale, not even sparing a thought for Lucas Bell, and she was oblivious to Wyatt Hale and Zac Cruz watching her with amused, gossip–eager gazes.
After returning to Larkhill, Zoe Bell went to her room to pack her things, while Wyatt Hale pretended to feed the fish and asked Zac Cruz, “Brother Cruz, what were
my brother and sister–in–law doing in the restroom at the hospital?”
“Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult affairs.”

75 Mr. Hale: Then do you like me?
“Why did my sister–in–law change her clothes? Were they dirty? How did they get dirty?”
A man and a woman, door locked tight, what could they be doing?
Naturally, they’d be doing what lovers do.
Zac Cruz felt that Wyatt Hale’s talkativeness would
lead to trouble sooner or later. Just as he was about to
remind him not to talk nonsense, Wyatt Hale blurted out, “If they were doing something not suitable for children, my brother was way too quick.”
Zac Cruz’s pupils dilated!
If you keep talking nonsense, you’ll end up as fish food.
However, Wyatt Hale was talkative but not entirely without tact, showing off mainly in front of Zac Cruz. When reporting to Grandpa, it was only one sentence:
[Sister–in–law was discharged from the hospital today.]
[Brother and sister–in–law are affectionate, rest assured, no worries.]

He didn’t mention the events at the hospital, but news
had already reached the Hale Family.
