Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 731 - 730_Part 1

How should one put it? He and Adele Horne were old classmates; they were familiar with each other and understood one another well.

"I love you!"

Noah Reyes didn’t even bother to explain. He went straight to the point, clean and decisive!

"Are you out of your mind? Do you think I’m a three-year-old idiot?" Adele Horne, startled at first, yelled back even more angrily.

He loved her? Him? Love her? How could he possibly love her? What connection did they even have? Just that one time, and he could fall in love with her? Please. She didn’t believe it. So what if she was decent-looking and had some charm? With his status, what kind of beautiful women hadn’t he seen? And considering his age—no younger than her own elder brother—how could he possibly not have had other women over the years? She was just one of the many women he’d toyed with. He was just using this as an excuse to snatch her son away! It was all about her son, right from the very beginning! If he claimed he wasn’t here for their son, she wouldn’t believe him even if she died. If he’d truly developed feelings for her after just one encounter, how could he have let her suffer for so many years?

"Come out!" Noah Reyes said, not bothering to explain further. When those three words left his lips, he too was shocked. For a cold-blooded creature like himself to utter such cheesy words was astonishing. But after saying those words, his heart became clearer. He truly did have feelings for her. A single passionate encounter had ensnared him completely. Even if she hadn’t been "good" in the past, he had still fallen for her.

Maybe this was love at first sight.

"I won’t!"

That damned Demon! By what right did he speak to her in such a domineering, commanding tone!

"Then let me come in! Otherwise, I’m going right now, straight to Talents School, and I’ll take Billy away! Believe me, I definitely have the ability. I’ve already moved most of the elites from my Flame Sect here; they’re just waiting for my order. Don’t think your elder brother can protect you. If I really take action, even if your second brother brings all the soldiers from his unit, he won’t be able to stop me!" Noah Reyes said forcefully.

When pursuing a wife, one needed to be gentle when gentleness was called for, and firm when firmness was required.

"Noah Reyes, why don’t you just die? Apart from using forceful methods, what else can you do?" Adele Horne’s face turned green with anger. How could she be so unlucky, losing her virginity to such a man? And what was more damning was that she had actually insisted on giving birth to the Demon’s spawn!

"If I died, you’d be a widow, wouldn’t you? I haven’t even heard Billy call me ’Daddy’ yet," Noah Reyes said in a deep voice. "So, what will it be? You coming out, or me coming in?"

"Go to the Police Station!" Adele Horne yelled, about to hang up.

"Deon Myers, immediately take men to Talents School and bring the young master to me! Get my private jet ready! Send the young master to the Training Base for devilish training!" Noah Reyes said, deliberately affecting a commanding tone. In reality, he was deliberately saying this for Adele Horne to hear. He was currently sitting alone in his car, still on the phone with her. How could he possibly contact Deon Myers or instruct him?

Adele Horne was so infuriated by him that she felt dizzy. She hadn’t considered that possibility and, her temper flaring, yelled, "I’m coming out right now!"

That damned Demon! He wanted to take away her son and send him to some Training Base for devilish training? Damn it, did he want to train her precious son to be a demon like him?

"Three minutes. If I don’t see you, I’ll have Deon Myers act immediately," Noah Reyes said, very satisfied that his forcefulness had an effect. It turned out that when pursuing one’s wife, the most effective method was indeed forcefulness!

Noah Reyes’s self-righteousness would cause him much suffering later on.

"Demon! I’ll have a Daoist capture you sooner or later!" Adele Horne spat viciously before slamming down the phone.

Gio Coleman looked at her with a smile.

Yes, this was the Adele Horne he remembered! Utterly fierce! Full of fire! Seeing the person she had become now, he was moved, but he was even more drawn to the her of the past!

"Gio, wait here for me. I’m going out for a moment. If I’m not back in ten minutes, call my elder brother immediately," Adele Horne said, then dashed out of the office like the wind.

"Adele..." Gio Coleman began, wanting to add a word of caution, but it was too late; Adele Horne had already vanished.

He hurried to the window again, staring intently outside the company.

Outside the company, Noah Reyes sat in his car, smugly putting away his phone.

My future bride, hehe, you are Sun Wukong, and I am the Buddha; you can’t escape the palm of my hand!

Barely two minutes passed before he saw his future bride dashing out like the wind.

Her actions reminded him of their second meeting and her formidable demeanor then.

The records showed that she had always been a formidable woman. That she had become this way was all because of him and their son. For their son’s sake, and also because of him, she had indeed suffered greatly. Thinking of this, Noah Reyes’s heart clenched with pain. Where had he been when she silently endured those rumors and all the indignities?

If he had been there, she wouldn’t have faced others’ disdain or been subjected to their pointing fingers.

He couldn’t imagine how a proud young woman like her had managed to stand so strong after enduring so many setbacks.

It was even harder to imagine how, while pregnant, she had bravely endured everything and, without regret, given birth to his son.

He etched these things into his heart, engraving them in his mind. He would love her and their son doubly, triply—far more extravagantly than Glades Horne loved Julia Bluen—to make up for everything.

As for those who had once gossiped about her, he would proudly appear before them with her by his side. He would fiercely put them in their place, teaching them the true meaning of ’disaster springs from careless talk.’

"Noah Reyes, what the hell do you want?" Adele Horne demanded, storming up to Noah Reyes’s car, raised her fist, and hammered on the window. If not for the fear of injuring her own hand, she truly wanted to smash the window to pieces!

She’d rather turn Noah Reyes into dust! No, into mincemeat!

Noah Reyes opened the car door, gazed at her, and said, "Get in the car."

"If you have something to say, say it here. I don’t have time; I need to get back to work," Adele Horne said coldly, refusing to get in. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Let’s find a place to have coffee," Noah Reyes suggested. "It’s getting late. Or perhaps we could go to the Emperor Hotel for dinner."

Adele Horne glared at him fiercely. This man...

If she dealt with him any longer, she’d be an absolute fool!

With a swift turn, Adele Horne spun around and started walking back.

"Adele," Noah Reyes called, immediately getting out of the car. He took two quick strides forward, seized her arm, and pulled her back.

In the office, Gio Coleman watched this scene unfold, his fists clenching anxiously.
