Chapter 21 - 21 021 Shes been sleeping in his bed
?Chapter 21: 021 She’s been sleeping in his bed! Chapter 21: 021 She’s been sleeping in his bed! Zoe Bell had no idea that someone had given her a nickname “Lady Fox” as she glanced at William Hale sitting across from her at lunch.
“Mr. Hale, thank you for today. I didn’t expect Brandon Stone to find his way here,” she said.
“As you’ve mentioned, we are husband and wife,” he replied.
William Hale looked at her, “As a husband, it’s my duty to protect you.”
Zoe Bell’s hand tightened slightly around her chopsticks.
My duty?
He said it openly and matter-of-factly.
“I think when you talk to me, you don’t need to use ‘Mr. Hale,'” William Hale said evenly. “I understand we’re not close yet, and you feel this is respectful and polite.”
“But being overly polite is like deliberately trying to keep your distance from me.”
“Mrs. Hale, between us…”
“We shouldn’t keep our distance!” he exclaimed.
He wanted to be closer to her,
Much closer!
Zoe Bell nodded, “I understand, it won’t happen again.”
After lunch, Zoe Bell started peeling lychee skins while William Hale took a nap, needing to catch up on sleep.
She never thought that the days following her arranged marriage with William Hale would turn out to be some of her most comfortable times.
Relaxed and free,
Unlike her time at the Bell Family’s home, where even the servants would give her disdainful looks.
