Upstairs bedroom.
Alia Miles pushed open the door, the curtains inside blocked the outside light, the room was dim and dark.
She wanted to turn on the light, but her body fell into a warm embrace.
The familiar scent of a man enveloped her, no need to guess who it was.
Alia rolled her eyes exasperatedly, forcefully pushing away the man who wanted to kiss her.
"Damon Hawke, trying to take advantage of before we even clear the air?"
Bang, the lights flicked on, illuminating the man before her.
Damon Hawke was wearing a black silk robe, the belt loosely tied, revealing a muscular and alluring chest.
The man’s eyes were smiling, fiendishly handso.
So tempting.
Alia swallowed, barely moving her gaze away.
Hmph, this bastard, planning to use his charms on her?
Can’t let him get away with this.
First, make him explain, then decide whether to drown in his damned allure.
"Honey, I was wrong, hug ."
Damon admitted fault first, reaching out to embrace her.
Alia chuckled, pushing away his approaching head, "Why don’t you tell , where did you go wrong?"
"Everywhere’s wrong, as long as it makes you angry, it’s my fault."
Damon obediently admitted fault.
Alia rolled her eyes, both annoyed and amused.
"So I’m just being unreasonable? You don’t even know where you went wrong?"
Darn man, don’t think she’ll cool down just like that!
"Honey, give a hint."
Damon whispered a breath in her ear, teasingly.
Alia’s legs went weak, hardening her heart as she smacked his head.
"Figure it out yourself!"
"Ouch, honey, you’re so fierce."
Damon feigned innocence, eting Alia’s fierce gaze, he innocently blinked, "Is it because I didn’t invite you for a al today?"
Hehe!
As if she’d be mad just for a al?
Alia glared at him, pushing against his chest, "Seems you didn’t reflect clearly the whole afternoon, out you go, no sleeping in my bed tonight."
Damon held her tight, pleading pitifully, "Honey, your husband’s EQ is low, throw a lifeline?"
Alia stared at his pitiful face, absurdly reminded of her own adorable kid’s antics.
Darn man, fine, seeing how he usually steers clear of other won, she chose to give him a clue.
"Tell , how close are you with Mary Wayde?"
Upon hearing this, Damon suddenly understood.
So his wife’s jealous, huh.
Quietly delighted in his heart.
"Honey, you’re jealous, aren’t you? You don’t want her working at Kensington Group? Don’t worry, my connection with her is just average, if you don’t want her there, then I’ll..."
"Am I that petty? Damon Hawke, don’t cast as the villain."
Alia interrupted Damon, sharply poking his firm pecs.
Mary Wayde is connected to the Kensington elders.
They’d already agreed she’d work at Kensington tomorrow, if Damon suddenly stopped her based on Alia, she’d beco a villain in the Kensington family’s eyes?
This man, still didn’t catch why she was upset.
"Then why are you mad?"
Damon held her hand, kissing it with an innocent look.
Alia yanked her hand away, smiling humorlessly, "Since you say your connection with Mary Wayde’s just average, why did you let her hold your arm? Does that an anyone with a so-called average connection can do so? And for those you’re closer to, could they get even further?"
Upon hearing this, Damon tried hard to recall and realized it did happen.
It was when they were about to enter a private room, and Mary suddenly linked arms with him, indicating intimacy.
But he quickly pulled her hand away.
Seems his wife caught that mont.
He felt wronged.
"Honey, you misunderstood. She’s naturally friendly, but as soon as she linked arms, I imdiately put her hand away."
Damon quickly explained.
Alia’s expression remained displeased, watching him with a mixture of a smile and a non-smile.
Just then, there was a "thump" sound outside, sothing made a noise.
Damon frowned, released Alia, and walked to the door, pulling open the handle.
"Ouch."
The two eavesdropping little ones plus Hunter Miles all tumbled into the room.
Damon swiftly grabbed the collars of the two little ones, preventing them from hitting the floor.
"Father-in-law, this habit isn’t quite proper."
Damon tugged on the little ones’ collars with a feigned smile aid at Hunter.
He, as the grand CEO, only conceded ekly to his wife.
Didn’t want others to see the spectacle.
"Ahem, it’s your two sons who wanted to eavesdrop, I was just worried about them, so I tagged along."
Hunter cleared his throat, "Well, I’ll go and see, dinner might be ready soon."
Seems his daughter definitely has the upper hand in the marriage.
Good, he is not worried anymore.
"Let go, Dad, you’re going to strangle us."
Bea grumbled, annoyed while being held by the collar.
On the other side, Dominic Hawke also frowned, looking displeased.
"Damon, what the hell? Let go, look at how you’re nearly suffocating the kids."
Alia just wanted to cover her face in front of her father.
Now seeing her two sons held by her husband, she quickly ran over to make him let go.
Damon released the two little ones’ clothes, glaring at them sternly.
The two little ones weren’t scared of him one bit, both leaning against Alia.
They knew, in their mom’s presence, their dad was just a paper tiger.
No need to be afraid of him.
"Mommy, Dad actually let so woman hold his arm? His arm is dirty now, you shouldn’t let him hold you anymore."
Bea’s big eyes rolled, delivering a shockingly audacious line.
Beside him, Dominic fell silent, "Yeah, too many germs, from now on only and little brother can hold you, Mommy."
Damon: "..."
Could he apply to shove these two back into soone’s belly, re-bake them, and have two daughters instead?
Sons were just a debt.
He wanted daughters!
"You two co over here, I won’t hit you."
"Dad, you look bad when you’re angry."
"Dad, I suggest you take a knife, see if Mom wants to cut off the contaminated arm."
Damon: "..."
Judging by the look in their eyes, these two were definitely his trouble-making sons!
...
The next day.
Elena Soo, during lunch break, took the ti to et her brother Ryan Sutton.
Ryan was viewing a property, and upon seeing Elena, he waved her over with a smile.
"Sis, look, this is the property I’ve chosen, three bedrooms and two living rooms. In the future, I’ll keep a room for you, so you have a place to stay whenever you visit."
Hearing this, the irritation in Elena’s heart faded slightly.
Though she doted on her brother, this brother was well-behaved and respect her well.
Now, having just graduated from college, he’s already caught the eye of a leader’s daughter, and his future looks promising.
Thinking about this, Elena sighed and asked, "Have the purchasing procedures been completed?"
