Chapter 101: 101 Love Show, listen to your wife

Zoe Bell’s fingers suddenly tightened, and she put the fish food back in its place. The small fish, still waiting to be fed, incessantly flicked their tails in protest. "Don’t talk nonsense."

"Anyway, you two are already married and have your certificate, which makes you legitimately husband and wife. Liking your brother-in-law sounds good to me."

Mutual affection.

William Hale usually acted like a gentleman, but it was said that he had once given Ruben Fletcher a private lesson.

Just once, and he had the thug thoroughly under control.

That showed he was quite capable.

I suspect he’s a bit crazy deep down.

If he knew his sister-in-law had feelings for him, who knows what might happen.

Zoe Bell’s eyes were downcast, "Our situation is quite complicated; you wouldn’t understand."

"Then tell me. I want to see how complicated it can be. Maybe I’ll give you some advice." Lucas Bell crossed his arms, waiting for her story.

"I’m going to wash my hands, and then we can set off. Don’t delay us."

Zoe Bell used the excuse to flee. When she got into the car, she immediately changed the subject, "I heard the Fletcher Family has arrived in Greenland."

"Yeah, not only Uncle and Aunt Fletcher but a whole bunch of relatives. They blocked the company’s entrance, claiming my dad made Ruben Fletcher take the fall to protect Mina Bell."

Lucas Bell shook his head helplessly, "Yesterday they even went so far as to hang banners; it was quite disgraceful."

"The company’s already struggling, and this mess only makes things worse."

Hanging banners?

Zoe Bell was surprised.

Usually, Wyatt Hale, who loved gossip, would have told her about any commotion in Greenland.

Recently, she’d been secluded in dance practice and wasn’t aware of the trouble.

"My mom had a tailbone injury and should have been resting at home, but those Fletcher relatives just moved into our house, creating a toxic atmosphere. There was nothing she could do."

"I’ve told them repeatedly, what the facts are, are the facts. Interfering with public opinion is not going to affect the judgment; it only angered the Fletchers more. Although Ruben Fletcher is unreliable, he is still their only child."

"Uncle and Aunt Fletcher are reasonable, but the relatives are tough to deal with."

Lucas Bell sighed.

"It’s all just a mess!"

"You got dragged into this too, right?" Zoe Bell was only concerned about her brother.

The downfall of the Bell Family was also caused by their spoiling Mina Bell.

Lucas Bell was nonchalant: "After my mom was discharged, we hired a professional nurse to care for her at home. With so many Fletcher relatives, I had an excuse to stay at a classmate’s place for a few days."

"That’s good."

"Sis, come on, tell me. How complicated is your situation with your brother-in-law?"

Zoe Bell, feeling helpless, wondered how the conversation had circled back to this.

"Brother-in-law?" Zoe Bell chuckled softly, "Since when did you start calling him that?"

"Is it strange if I call you sis and him brother-in-law?"

"Does he allow you to call him that?"

"I’ve called him that in front of him before, and I think he was quite pleased when he heard it." Lucas Bell gripped the steering wheel, "The brother-in-law is really handsome, tall, and exceptionally capable."

"Lucas Bell, since when did you become his fanboy? Why are you praising him so much? What has he given you?"

"Sis, you don’t understand how influential the brother-in-law is. He can even introduce me to giants in the art world. By the way, do you know who his uncle is? That’s impressively awesome."

When it came to topics directly related to his field, Lucas Bell could go on and on.

"Sis, if you ever meet the brother-in-law’s uncle, remember to get his autograph for me."

"I haven’t met him yet."

"Typical, the real big shots are always mysterious."

"..."

Zoe Bell was feeling somewhat headache.

Until recently, he had been quite hostile towards William Hale.

What on earth had happened for him to suddenly refer to him so affectionately as ’brother-in-law’?

"About you two, I asked Wyatt Hale, and he said, ’You are the brother-in-law’s first love.’"

"You believe what he says?" Zoe Bell looked at Lucas Bell driving, "Do you often contact Wyatt?"

"He insisted on acknowledging me as his younger brother, said he would teach me how to play video games, and mentioned he recently made a fortune, inviting me to visit him in Capital City whenever I am free, promising to cover meals, lodging, and the flight ticket."

Lucas Bell was also quite helpless.

"Sis, be honest with me, if Brother-in-law is so capable, and that uncle is remarkable, it shows that the Hale family’s excellent genes are strong, so is Wyatt Hale Brother-in-law’s real brother?"

"Genuine and authentic."

"Brother-in-law has it tough too. If it were me, I would have grabbed something to shut his mouth long ago."

Zoe Bell rarely saw Lucas Bell so helpless, she chuckled softly, turning her head to look out the window.

The wind blows a leaf, and all things feel the shock of autumn.

She subconsciously took out her phone and sent a message to William Hale:

"[Remember to rest, you didn’t sleep last night.]"

He quickly replied with a good word.

At that time, William Hale had just finished the morning meeting, and Zac Cruz was preparing to check the upcoming schedule with him, "You have a meeting with Chairman Cooper later, they want you to attend the grand opening of their new company, and there’s also a remote conference in the afternoon to meet with..."

"If you can push it, please do," William Hale said, massaging his temples.

"Do you have other plans?"

"Zoe said I should rest, so I’m planning to go home and sleep. I need to listen to my wife."

"..."

Zac Cruz was dumbfounded.

My godfather, you used to be a workaholic.

Out of 365 days, you could work 360 days. Why sleep? Get back to work!

"By the way, since I’m taking a rest, you should take a break too. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, buy some things and go visit your family."

These words from William Hale deeply touched Zac Cruz.

But then he added, "And perhaps arrange a matchmaking. You’ve been with me since you graduated and never had time for a relationship. Don’t let it hinder your life."

"By the way, you mentioned that your family arranged a matchmaking and you took half a day off last time, how did it go?"

Zac Cruz was speechless, "Sir, my last matchmaking..."

"Was two years ago."

It had been so long, and he suddenly cared about his matchmaking.

William Hale fiddled with the lighter in his hand, "That girl didn’t like you?"

Zac Cruz was about to lose it.

He was not bad-looking and his job paid well, but he was too busy. Working overtime twice a year, each lasting half a year, what girl would tolerate that? It was already good that he hadn’t died suddenly.

"Sir, do you know when was the last time I went home to sleep?"

"Hmm?"

"Four months ago."

William Hale frowned, "It shows how busy I’ve been."

Zac Cruz had his grievances, but indeed William Hale was busy. Yet, he still found the time to get married, while Zac didn’t even have a girlfriend.

Orphanage

It had been a while since Zoe Bell visited the orphanage, and the children were especially happy to see her, chirping around her. Here, there were no intrigues and schemes, and the children were oblivious to the storms outside.

They only knew that Zoe Bell was kind to them, so naturally, they liked her as well.

"Sister Zoe, you haven’t come for a long time." A little boy approached her.

"Didn’t Mommy Hall tell you? Sister has been preparing for a competition lately." Another child interjected.

"Sister dances so well, she will surely win the championship."

"..."

The group of children chattered nonstop, not giving her a chance to speak.

Lucas Bell was busy handing out gifts he had brought for the children.

"Zoe?" Director Hall came out from inside, "They said you were here, I couldn’t believe it at first."

She smiled and welcomed her, grasping Zoe Bell’s hand immediately, while Lucas Bell raised an eyebrow at the side. Actually...

He didn’t like Director Hall very much.
