Chapter 268: 267 Mr. Hale tricks his younger uncle, the devilish uncle and nephew Chapter 268: 267 Mr. Hale tricks his younger uncle, the devilish uncle and nephew Brother-in-law?
William Hale felt a headache coming on, and Finn Hale leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Hannah is protective; this guy is hers. You figure it out.”
But before he could speak up, Zoe Bell, sitting on his other side, tugged at his sleeve.
“What’s up?” William Hale asked in a hushed voice.
“The oatal and dried fruit I took ho last ti were made by him.”
“So?”
“You ate it.”
There’s a saying that goes, ‘A man who eats your food will soften his words toward you.’
William Hale felt another wave of headache and looked at the man standing before him, “Young Master Shea, don’t just stand there, please take a seat.”
Zoe Bell smiled continuously at him, “Teacher Shea, please, don’t be shy.”
Isaac Shea nodded and sat down opposite the group.
“My sister had an accident tonight, and it’s thanks to you that you arrived in ti and broke through the door. Otherwise, I can scarcely imagine what might have happened,” William Hale said gravely. Gratitude was owed, and it should be acknowledged.
“Mr. Hale, you are too kind. It’s what I should have done.”
“Sothing you should have done? Are you dating my sister?”
Isaac Shea nodded, “Because the relationship is fairly new, it hasn’t been made public yet.”
“It’s not just that it hasn’t been made public; Young Master Shea, it seems you’ve also concealed your identity,” William Hale said, exposing the truth.
Those wolf-like sharp eyes scrutinized and stared down with an oppressive feeling that made one’s scalp tingle. He slightly squinted, his fingers lightly tapping on his knee, “My sister knows nothing about you, but you must understand her very thoroughly…”
“Young Master Shea, what exactly are your intentions toward my sister?”
William Hale couldn’t be blad for being suspicious.
Ever since Liam Hugh had an incident, too many people were watching Hannah Johnson.
And now, here was Young Master Shea, concealing his identity.
As William Hale spoke, he glanced at Finn Hale beside him: “Uncle Finn, as an elder, what do you think?”
Uncle?
A jolt went through Finn Hale’s heart.
This kid, was he trying to push him into the spotlight? Usually, it was all casual ‘you,’ but now it’s ‘you’ in the most formal sense?
Tim Payne had been silent beside them, as this wasn’t his business to interfere with, but as soon as he heard Finn Hale was being dragged into it, his interest was piqued, and he sat up straight.
“You’re asking ?” Finn Hale gritted his teeth, “Hannah is your cousin.”
“But she calls you ‘uncle,’ and you are the only elder present. I must respect your opinion.”
As soon as William Hale finished speaking, Michale Shaw nearly laughed out loud.
If it isn’t Hale,
Tricking his uncle like that!
It has to be you!
Finn Hale gritted his teeth; he was sure it was retaliation for keeping things from him. Clearing his throat, he couldn’t let their family be ridiculed in front of others, especially with Tim Payne present, so he had to tough it out:
“Young Master Shea, did you intentionally conceal it?”
“Although Hannah is an only child, and the Hugh Family has had so troubles, she is as close to us as family. If you have any other motives for approaching her, then don’t bla us for beating the lovebirds.”
An elder must maintain their dignity.
That scoundrel William Hale,
Actually pushed him out!
Initially, Finn had planned to leave Hot Spring Villa after the banquet, but stayed upon hearing Hannah Johnson had had an incident, to see if there was any way to help.
And now…
It had turned into this!
Good deeds never go unpunished.
Isaac Shea had no clue this was an undercurrent between uncle and nephew, and simply said, “I am serious about her, actually…”
With a bitter smile, he said, “I never intended to hide my identity. At the beginning of our relationship, she simply wasn’t interested in knowing about .”
“Probably…”
“Because she was afraid I’d cling to her.”
Isaac Shea’s expression was sowhat pitiful.
William Hale frowned:
What’s with this guy?
Showing off that pitiful look for whom?
Everyone: “…”
Isaac Shea helplessly said, “At that ti, she just wanted to have fun with , and she never even asked what I do. I was afraid that talking about my family would upset her.”
William Hale’s fingers on his knees clenched tight.
That tone,
With Isaac Shea’s pitiable and helpless expression, it seed as if his own cousin was the heartless woman playing with his feelings.
“Young Master Shea, you and my cousin are boyfriend and girlfriend, yet I don’t understand what you’re saying,” William Hale frowned.
Isaac Shea showed a bitter smile, “Anyway, I’ve always been sincere with her.”
“I was with her with the intention of marrying her.”
“If Mr. Hale is not at ease, he can investigate; I’m definitely not after the Hugh Family’s wealth.”
The Sealand Shea Family is already extrely rich.
Isaac Shea continued, “My relationship with her is just between us, it has nothing to do with our two families.”
“And we haven’t officially been together for very long”
“I also planned to find an opportunity to speak honestly to her about my family’s situation, but just haven’t had the chance yet.”
William Hale’s eyebrows furrowed.
The uncle had only t him once at the old ho, but he could tell there was sothing between the two of them, indicating that at least by that ti there was already so ambiguous relationship between them.
So much ti has passed since then, even Zoe knows about it.
Young Master Shea is actually saying they haven’t been together for very long.
So what was their relationship before?
William Hale knew his cousin well, and combining Isaac Shea’s expression with the previous and subsequent conversation, he understood most of it.
Isaac Shea’s face was indeed handso.
So, was it possible that the cousin was enticed by his looks,
and initially,
just wanted to have a fling with him?
If he were to make things difficult for Isaac Shea, that would seem quite inhumane.
“Were you the one behind the troubles at the Hugh Family?” William Hale asked about the doubt in his heart.
Isaac Shea nodded.
“Does my cousin know about this?”
“She doesn’t.”
“Why not tell her?”
“I like her, so I can’t bear to see her bullied. I am willing to help her of my own accord, not seeking her gratitude or a change in how she views out of gratefulness. I believe love should be two people liking each other, it should be purer.”
This, William Hale actually agreed with.
Isaac Shea, looking younger than his actual age, spoke and acted more maturely and steadily.
So William Hale cleared his throat and then looked towards Finn Hale, “Uncle, what do you think about this?”
Finn Hale had no words.
You little rascal…
How did you kick the ball back into my court again?
William Hale strutted around at ho, and even for marriage, he never sought anyone else’s opinion. He didn’t regard his uncle at all, but now he was pushing him to the forefront.
“So, you’re serious about Hannah?” Finn Hale gritted his teeth.
Isaac Shea nodded, “I know words alone aren’t very credible, you can judge by my actions in the future.”
Finn Hale’s gaze swept to the side, noticing Michale Shaw enjoying the drama, and chuckled, “Michale Shaw.”
“Uncle?”
“What do you think about this?”
“Ah?”
Michale Shaw was confused.
What has this got to do with ?
“After all, you’ve pursued Hannah before, and you call her ‘sister’, so you’re one of us. Share your opinion on this,” Finn Hale raised an eyebrow.
Passing the buck, who doesn’t know how to do that?
He pursued Hannah Johnson?
Isaac Shea stared at him, his eyes shifting slightly.
Michale Shaw was going crazy.
Uncle is simply the devil. What does this have to do with ? I just ca to watch the drama.
And I still have to do business with the Shea Family. Isn’t this forcing down a dead end?
Zoe Bell also stared at Michale Shaw, curious about what he would say.
As a result, Michale Shaw turned to Isaac Shea with a smile:
“Young Master Shea, since you’re my sister’s boyfriend, then I won’t hold back.”
Isaac Shea’s brow slightly furrowed, only to see Michale Shaw smile ingratiatingly:
“Brother-in-law, hello.”
Everyone: “…”
