Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 756 - 755: Because I Love You, I am Overbearing (1)_1

The weather is unpredictable; clear skies can swiftly become overcast with dark clouds.

Before the storm broke, the wind howled wildly.

On the streets, pedestrians hurried along, each hoping to reach their destination before the downpour.

Lightning flashed like fiery streaks across the sky, accompanied by the rumble of thunder.

In an instant, large raindrops joyfully descended upon the world.

In an instant, the number of pedestrians on the street was greatly reduced as vehicles rushed by.

Inside his car, Noah Reyes fixed his dark eyes on the modest Office Building ahead, awaiting Adele Horne to emerge.

Large raindrops beat against his car. Perfect, he thought. This will wash the dust off, making the luxury sedan stand out even more, overshadowing that other person and highlighting my advantages.

His deep blue suit looked almost black against his sturdy frame, bringing out his darker side. The chiseled contours of his face bore a hint of worry. In his deep-set eyes, a trace of resentment lingered. His left hand rested on the steering wheel, his right on his thigh, fingers lightly tapping, drumming against his leg.

Suddenly, the sound of another car engine was heard.

A silver-white Rolls-Royce approached like a monarch. In Noah Reyes's eyes, the vehicle itself wasn't the most prestigious; it was the person inside, who always exuded a noble aura, thereby imbuing the car with an even greater sense of prestige.

"Hey, Glades, stop the car," Julia Bluen, sitting in the passenger seat, exclaimed upon sighting Noah Reyes's car.

Glades Horne's expression subtly changed. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat cold yet admiring gaze that then flitted away as quickly as lightning—there and gone in an instant.

He pursed his lips and stopped the car.

Noah Reyes had tried everything to please Glades's sister, Adele, pursuing her relentlessly, and Glades Horne knew all too well. To be honest, Reyes's methods of wooing women often give me a cringe-worthy mental image. He'd give anything—I even heard he gave her grass once.

Thinking of Noah Reyes stupidly giving her grass, Glades Horne couldn't help but laugh heartily to himself.

But after the laughter, he had to admire the uniqueness of Reyes's approach.

Giving flowers, clothes, gold, and jewelry is too ordinary; Adele might not take much notice. But giving grass—this ground-breaking, never-before-seen gesture—definitely made an impression on her. Even if it made her burst into laughter, that event, that person, would surely enter her heart.

People are like that; special things are always harder to forget.

Julia rolled down the window, and raindrops instantly slanted inside. She quickly rolled it up a bit to prevent the raindrops from being so intrusive.

Noah Reyes happened to turn his head towards them. Upon seeing Julia roll down her window, he coolly rolled his own down halfway, revealing just his head. His deep eyes, like an abyss, settled on Julia's always vibrant face. Receiving his unfathomable look, Julia smiled. This future brother-in-law's gaze is so similar to my own man's, she thought.

Those two grown men, if not for their previous confrontation that had soured things, could probably become friends.

Now, well, Glades Horne still harbored a lot of resentment towards Noah Reyes and really wanted to get back at him. But because of that bet, Glades was holding himself back with all his might.

Whenever the two of them met, they usually locked eyes for a moment before looking away, behaving almost like strangers. For the Horne family, Noah Reyes was indeed an unexpected interloper who had appeared out of nowhere, truly a stranger to them.

"Why are you here?" Julia shouted. It wasn't because she was rude; the rain was so heavy that she worried Noah Reyes wouldn't hear her if she didn't raise her voice.

Noah Reyes glanced at the Office Building, blurred slightly by the heavy rain, and didn't answer.

Julia smiled and didn't ask again, instructing Glades to drive on.

As their car approached the company building, Julia instructed the security guard, "Let Mr. Reyes in. From now on, when Mr. Reyes comes, treat him as a guest. Don't turn him away at the door."

The security guard looked slightly stunned. It was Assistant Horne who had barred this gentleman from entry, adamantly claiming the man was a Demon, a rascal, and should not be let in. Actually, this gentleman had already made a very deep impression on everyone in the company, male or female.

First, he drove a luxurious sedan that, according to those in the know, was valued at close to ten million. Second, he was tall, composed, and stunningly handsome—sometimes as cold as ice, other times as hot as fire. His female colleagues all said that if this gentleman were pursuing them, they would die happy; yet, he was here for Assistant Horne, who didn't seem to consider him important at all. Third, this man was no Casanova; his methods of pursuing Assistant Horne were so inept they could make people die of laughter. Consequently, everyone in the company, from management to staff, had an incredibly deep and, surprisingly, very favorable impression of this gentleman.

In contrast, Assistant Horne's old classmate, Gio Coleman, who was also pleasant-looking and behaved with polite, princely charm, failed to garner such unanimous positive regard. No one could quite understand why.

Clearly, Noah Reyes had been violent, even injuring a security guard in the past, while Gio Coleman had always been courteous and polite, yet the result...

"Understood, President Bluen."

Julia Bluen was the real person in charge of the company. If she said so, no one below dared to object.

After Glades Horne heard Julia give such instructions to the security guard and had parked the car in the parking lot, he turned his head to gaze at his beloved wife. Meeting her mischievously twinkling, almond-shaped eyes, he spoke in a deep, affectionate voice, "You're a Horne by marriage, but it seems your heart is siding with an outsider."

Julia laughed. "You didn't stop me. Besides, Noah Reyes will become part of the family sooner or later." Given Noah's aggressive nature, if a gentle pursuit doesn't work, he'll surely drag Adele Horne straight to the Church and force a shotgun wedding. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I generally don't stop you from doing what you want."

Even though the current focus of my wife's meddling is my only sister. As long as I know Julia will never harm Adele, I won't object, even though I very much dislike seeing Noah Reyes anywhere near her.

"Adele's resentment runs deep; she's been wronged for many years. She won't forgive Noah Reyes easily. He has been trying so hard, yet Adele always turns him away. When will they ever get their happy ending?" Julia's almond-shaped eyes twinkled slyly. The process is enjoyable to watch, but I still hope to see the outcome soon—for Billy's sake.

Billy... Ever since he found out Noah Reyes was his daddy, his eyes shone with longing every time he saw the man. He really wanted to call Noah 'Daddy.' Yet Adele's attitude remained firm; she strongly denied that Noah was Billy's father and forbade Billy from calling him 'Daddy.' Billy, who had relied on Adele for so many years, could only suppress his longing and obey her.

Mrs. Alwin Ruiz had not yet been discharged from the hospital. Every day, Camila Ruiz would visit her grandmother there. Billy and Ivan, under the pretext of visiting Grandma Ruiz, were actually going to the hospital to keep Camila company.

The friendship among the three little buddies was still quite strong.
