Chapter 260: 259 Male Lady Fox, a seductive sprite (2 more updates)

Zoe Bell brought back quite a lot of food, and Wyatt Hale, having a sweet tooth, tried some and liked it so much that he shared it with his family, then asked her, "Sis, where did you buy this?"

"A friend gave it to me."

"Does he still lack friends? I also want to be his friend."

"..."

Zoe Bell couldn’t help but laugh.

He obviously wanted to freeload food and drinks.

"Didn’t you go to see your cousin today? Did she introduce you to friends?" William asked.

Zoe nodded, but quickly changed the subject, "However, I didn’t find any suitable clothes."

"No worries, there’s still some time before the dinner party, you can choose slowly."

Finn Hale was eating roasted oats, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

This stuff...

Could it be that the guy made it?

His culinary skills are so good?

"Are you going to the Payne Family dinner party?" Old Sir Hale looked at his younger son.

Finn nodded, "Mrs. Payne specifically invited me, I can’t not go."

He didn’t really want to attend these events, finding them boring, but since Julia Yates personally invited him, he had to give face.

"The Payne family’s dinner party this time, I’ve heard there will be a lot of people. If there’s a suitable girl you like, go chase her, don’t just stay in the study room drawing all day," Old Sir Hale frowned, "You’re not getting any younger."

"Dad, I still have work," Finn said, then stood up and left.

"Finn, stop right there, I’m talking to you!"

He turned a deaf ear.

The old gentleman huffed angrily, "This rebellious child, always runs away when I talk about serious matters."

"That only means fate hasn’t arrived yet," Old Lady said calmly, "Marriage is a matter where you can’t settle."

Upon returning to her room, Tim Payne called to inform her that the ring was ready, but he was currently busy with preparations for the dinner party and couldn’t deliver it personally.

"I’ll get it myself." There might be a discrepancy in the size; it needed to be tried on.

"Then I’ll have my assistant meet you."

——

Meanwhile, at Yarden, Isaac Shea and Hannah Johnson each had their thoughts.

Isaac felt indebted, thus was treating Hannah better and better, and by night...

He exerted even more effort!

"Be careful not to leave any marks on me." Hannah would need to wear a dress in a few days, and if there were bite marks, it would be inappropriate to be seen.

"Okay."

Isaac said so.

Yet, he still left his marks in hidden places.

Hannah really didn’t know where he got so much energy from.

This led to her going to work the next day, feeling utterly exhausted.

"You’re leaving already?" Isaac had no classes today and the lab wasn’t busy, so he planned to stay home and write his thesis. He leaned on the bathroom door, tilting his head as he watched Hannah applying lipstick in the mirror.

"I have a meeting and need to meet two clients."

"Coming back for lunch?"

"Probably not until tonight." Hannah put away her lipstick, tidied her hair, and was about to leave the bathroom, but Isaac grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his embrace.

His chest pressed against her back, and he rubbed his nose against her neck.

His breath was warm and ticklish.

Hannah struggled to breathe.

"Baby, I really don’t want you to go." Isaac held her, his voice almost whiny.

"Stop it."

Isaac ignored her and bent down to kiss her neck.

The warmth of his lips on her ear...

Half of Hannah’s body went numb.

Her body was turned around, pressed against the wall by him, and a kiss, both provocative and exciting, made Hannah think if it continued, she definitely couldn’t make it to the office that morning. Out of desperation, she bit his lip.

"Baby!" Puppy whined.

"You’re the one who messed up my lipstick," she complained.

"It’s hardly smudged; this color looks even better." Isaac helped her wipe the unintentional lipstick stain at the corner of her mouth, helped her get her coat, and walked her to the door.

"Come back early, baby. I’ll be waiting at home," Isaac waved at her.

He had a charming smile, his puppy eyes full of anticipation.

His lips, stained with lipstick and bitten by him, looked reddish and slightly swollen, making him even more endearing.

Hannah nodded, feeling annoyed inside.

This guy...

Why did he suddenly seem like a male seducer?

It seemed like he was trying to tempt her at every moment.

Hannah reached the elevator and slapped her face lightly:

Stop thinking about him,

Work is more important!

I never realized before, but this Puppy is really like a vexing little fairy.

How did I misjudge him initially?

After Hannah left, Isaac spent the morning at home working on his thesis, around eleven, he changed his clothes and returned home.

"Wow, our busy guy, why are you home at this hour?"

"She’s busy at work, not coming back for lunch, and I didn’t feel like cooking, so I came home to freeload a meal."

His parents noticed his swollen lips and frowned deeply.

Is this...

What young people are like these days?

As parents, they’ve been through it all and didn’t ask in detail, but Isaac’s recent proud demeanor, especially when Hannah called him "brother-in-law," really made him float.

That expression was utterly punchable.

"Unbelievable that the Payne Family is hosting a banquet; seems like the Mario Payne couple is truly preparing to return to the capital."

"Payne Corps is definitely going through a major shake-up, bound to interfere with other people’s interests, this Payne family affair might get messy."

"It happened once before with the Payne family, apparently Mrs. Payne’s assistant died."

Isaac just listened silently, "Was it an accident?"

"It’s unclear, but the Payne family never recovered after that incident, even the elderly Payne’s health deteriorated, and Payne Corps was then controlled by Junior President Payne’s aunt’s family and his uncle."

"They probably think Junior President Payne is old enough and the Mario Payne couple also wants to secure more rights for their son."

Isaac: "It might not be for their son."

Shea Family parents: "What are you muttering about?"

"Nothing."

"But I heard that Mr. Hale will attend with his wife this time, and the girl will probably make her first public appearance with him," Mrs. Shea sighed, "Mr. Hale hasn’t had it easy, losing his mother early. To achieve so much, Brock must have really put a lot of effort into him."

Speaking of William Hale’s biological mother naturally brought up the Hugh Family.

"It’s also about being a father. Brock is very responsible compared to Hugh Family’s crappy father, there’s no comparison."

Isaac raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"Lucky for the girl from the Hugh family, she’s tough. Otherwise, she’d definitely be bullied to death by mistresses."

"Do you think she’s tough?" Isaac smirked.

"Isn’t that widely acknowledged? But with only her grandmother and mother left, many people in their circle eye her greedily, wanting to rope her in, it’s despicable."

"I hope she stays sharp and finds someone who truly loves and protects her."

Isaac pursed his lips, "Mom, do you think I am good enough?"

"You’re not worthy of her."

"..."

"And you already have a girlfriend, don’t talk nonsense." His mother warned, "What you want, you must fight for yourself, if you want money, earn it yourself, don’t always look for shortcuts, that girl has already had it tough with a scumbag father."

Isaac nodded quickly, "Mom, from your tone, you really like her?"

"She’s capable and pretty, who wouldn’t like her?"

Still, why am I not worthy of her?

Is she really my mother?

"I wonder if she’ll attend the Payne family’s dinner party," Mrs. Shea laughed, "I’m quite looking forward to meeting her."

Isaac scoffed:

I have inside information, she won’t be going!

——

And the eagerly anticipated Payne family’s dinner party arrived as scheduled...
