019 Close, Mr. Hale is very good at playing to the gallery.

William Hale had originally planned to stay home for a couple more days and wanted to give Zoe Bell some time to adjust, but Brandon Stone was restless, and he himself was anxious to return, which is why he headed back to Greenland overnight.

Zac Cruz leaned against the driver's seat, already asleep.

The marriage agreement had been signed, and she was already at home; where could she run off to?

Was it necessary to rush back overnight?

He didn't understand and even asked, "Sir, there's no need to rush back like this, right?"

William Hale simply said, "You're not married; you wouldn't understand."

Zac Cruz was at a loss for words—after all, you've only been married for a few days!

Zoe Bell couldn't sleep at all. She did a simple wash-up, changed into her pajamas, and when she went downstairs, although it was just past five o'clock, the summer day was long, and it was already bright outside.
