Chapter 255 Rogue Husband

Chapter 255 Rogue Husband

Billy didn't have a very good impression of Audrey Ryan; she seemed overly self-assured and he wasn't interested in getting involved with such a woman. However, the Ryan family, on the whole, was decent, so allowing them to participate in the Doman family's business acquisitions was a chance he decided to give them.

"I see!" Derek responded.

"Alright, let's disperse!" Billy put down his teacup and said, "Casey, go on your date. Azure Dragon, return to your post. Judge, investigate the members of the Doman family. Stout and I are heading back to Ozin."

"Oh, and Casey, tell Felicia that if she doesn't want to intern at her current company, she can directly join the World Group."

"Fine!" Casey's mouth twitched once again. He had a feeling that Billy was trying to arrange his marriage. In truth, he had a favorable impression of Felicia Knight. Not only was she stunningly beautiful, but her personality was also exactly the type he liked. Yet, his mind wasn't focused on these matters right now. There were some special circumstances that made it hard for him to wholeheartedly pursue a romantic relationship.

Billy's phone rang after he and Stout got into the car. He answered, and it was Rose's call.

"Mr Gardner, are you still in Enssea?" Rose's voice came through as soon as the call connected.

"Is something the matter?" Billy asked.

"Do you have some free time tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"Let's skip the dinner. I'll come to Enssea next time, as I'm already on my way back to Ozin." Billy replied.

"Oh, alright then." Rose's tone carried a hint of disappointment.

After a brief pause, she continued, "Mr Gardner, thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"It's what you deserve," Billy replied. "However, don't forget what you promised me. Next time I visit, I hope to see a clean Enssea!"

"Please rest assured, Mr Gardner. I won't let you down!" Rose responded earnestly.

"Alright." Billy nodded. "That's it then. If you need anything, just give me a call."

"Okay!" Rose said, "Thank you once again, Mr Gardner!"

...

"Husband, you're awake?"

At 7:30 AM that morning, as soon as Billy opened his eyes, he saw Harleen Knight gazing at him affectionately.

"Honey, why are you up so early? You only just fell asleep." Billy said, embracing his beloved and giving her a kiss.

"Don't act innocent. You always keep me up all night with your antics." Harleen Knight pouted, a blush tinting her face.

"It's hard to control yourself, huh?" Billy chuckled. "Honey, it's still early. You should go back to sleep. Look at the dark circles under your eyes."

"Oh, stop it. You're definitely plotting something," Harleen gave him a skeptical side-eye. After a slight pause, she continued, "Honey, when you were in Enssea this time, did that Miss Ryan invite you to dinner or anything?"

Billy shook his head quickly. "I wouldn't have a meal alone with another woman while my wife isn't around."

"Is that so?" Harleen smiled and looked at him with meaningful eyes. "I heard that you met another beauty in Enssea this time."

"Uh…" Billy's face turned dark. "Did Felicia tell you like that?"

"She told me nothing. Are you not planning to be honest with me?" Harleen asked, a hint of amusement in her tone.

"I haven't had a chance to tell you yet," Billy replied. "She's the owner of a restaurant. I just asked for a small favor."

"Is that so? I heard she's the number one beauty in Enssea. Is she very charming?"

"Uh, well… Wife, how's work been lately? Everything going smoothly?" Billy changed the topic with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Humph! A guilty conscience needs no accuser. I don't want to talk to you." Harleen gave him an eye roll. Then she looked at the wall clock and said, "Husband, it's the weekend today, and the weather is great. Let's take Tasha for an outing in the countryside."

"Sure! It's not a bad idea to get some fresh air in the countryside." Billy replied with a smile.

"In that case, get up quickly. We'll eat breakfast and set off," Harleen said, giving him a kiss on the cheek before getting out of bed.

After putting on their shoes and clothes, Harleen Knight bent over to pick up her clothes while playfully complaining, "You rogue husband, always so hasty. You've ruined several of my outfits."

"Uh…" Billy twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Honey, they seemed to be torn by you…"

"Shut up! Don't say anything!" Harleen blushed with shyness. "Get up quickly, or Tasha will come calling in a little while."

"Alright!" Billy smiled, then turned over and got out of bed.

After breakfast, the three of them reached the entrance of the courtyard. Stout was already waiting in the car. Originally, Billy had wanted to invite Harleen's parents to come along, but Sharon's friend invited her to go shopping, so that plan was shelved.

"Good morning, Uncle Stout!" Tasha ran over to Stout excitedly as she saw him, exclaiming, "Lift me up high!"

"Sure thing!" Stout smiled, bending down to pick up Tasha and lifting her up.

"Yay! So high!" Tasha danced in the air. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Watching Tasha's joyful expression, a sense of happiness washed over Harleen's face.

"Ms Knight, where are we going?" the four of them got into the car, and Stout asked.

"I heard there's a new eco-park near the boundary between Ozin and Yarlington, let's go check it out." Harleen suggested.

"Got it!" Stout nodded and pressed the gas pedal, setting off.

The eco-park was located within Yarlington's jurisdiction. It covered a vast area, boasting beautiful surroundings, making it an ideal place for leisure and relaxation.

Two hours later, Stout parked the car at the entrance of the eco-park.

Entering the park, their eyes were greeted by a breathtaking landscape-mountains, water, lush vegetation, and dense woods.

"Wow, it's so big and beautiful in here!" Tasha shouted excitedly as she looked around. Holding Stout's hand, she headed to an artificial lake not far away.

"Uncle Stout, can we go rowing? I haven't gone rowing in a long time. Will you take me rowing?" Tasha asked.

"Tasha, we just got here. Let's explore first. We can go rowing later when we're tired." Harleen smiled and said.

"Alright, Uncle Stout, how about we go feed the animals over there?" Tasha pointed to a feeding area not far away and exclaimed.

"Sounds good!" Stout laughed and carried Tasha as they headed toward the animal feeding area.

Twenty minutes later, after Tasha had fed the animals, they moved on to the next attraction.

"Daddy, Mommy, look! There are so many plum blossoms!"

Before long, they arrived at a plum orchard. Tasha shouted in excitement, then ran toward the plum trees.

"Uncle Stout, come quickly! I want to take pictures. Make sure you take beautiful pictures for me!"

"Hehe, alright!" Stout laughed, pulled out his phone, and followed after Tasha.

"Ah!" In the next moment, Tasha let out a scream.
