Chapter 287 The End of the Watts Family

Billy's lips twitched as he said, "Let's wait until you're less busy with work, and I'll teach you."

He suspected that Harleen had been influenced by something, and her sudden desire to learn martial arts would likely fade over time.

"Really? You promised, so no backing out!" Harleen extended her pinky finger. "Pinky swear!"

"Haha..." Billy extended his finger and said, "Wife, can't you trust me a little?"

"Pinky swear means you're bound for a hundred years, no changing your mind!" Harleen wiggled her finger and said to herself.

"Darling, have you been stimulated by something today?" After releasing their pinky swear, Billy asked Harleen with a smile.

"Billy, is Azure Fang from SHADOW, too? Are you the head of SHADOW?" Harleen didn't respond to Billy's previous question but asked somewhat tentatively.

"Well..." Billy hesitated for a moment. "You could say that."

"But I just hold a nominal position. Most of the day-to-day affairs are handled by Azure Fang and the others. I only step in when there are particularly tricky situations."

"Ah? So, you really are the head of SHADOW?" Harleen exclaimed in surprise after getting Billy's confirmation.

"Uh... Why such a big reaction?" Billy raised an eyebrow.

"Do you think I don't know what SHADOW is? It's a law enforcement agency one level above most other departments. You..." Harleen paused, looking astonished.

"Dear, no matter what I do, in our home, I'm just your husband and Tasha's father. I have no other identity." Billy interrupted her, simultaneously reaching out to caress Harleen's delicate cheek.

"Honey, I feel like I'm not worthy of you, the gap between us is too..." Harleen sounded upset.

"Didn't you promise me not to say such things anymore?" Billy responded, pretending to be annoyed. "If you keep this up, your husband won't pay any attention to you."

"I..." Harleen took a deep breath and tried to speak again. However, she was cut off when Billy lowered his head and kissed her.

"I was talking about something important..." After a few minutes, Harleen began to blush, and although she was murmuring, her words were unclear.

"This is important!" Billy chuckled. He picked up his beloved wife and carried her to the bedroom.

The next morning at 7 o'clock, Billy woke up and saw Harleen gazing at him affectionately by the bed.

"Darling, what's up?" Billy smiled.

"I didn't do anything, just wanted to see you." Harleen smiled sweetly.

"Why are you up so early after staying up so late last night? You should rest a bit more." Billy smiled again.

"You're one to talk. You kept me up almost all night." Harleen blushed slightly. "Come on, get up, dear. I've already had breakfast delivered to the room."

"Sure!" Billy rolled out of bed.

In no time, they both freshened up and sat down at the dining table.

"Billy, is everything sorted out on your end? Are we heading back today?" Harleen asked as she served him a scrambled egg.

"I still have some matters to attend to." Billy sipped his milk and took a bite of toast. "You might not be able to go back today either."

"What do you mean?"

"Your company's project hasn't been finalized yet, you want to go back so soon?" Billy smiled.

"Our company won't continue working on that project. Collaborating with a company like the Watts will only lead to more trouble even if we manage to sign the contract this time." Harleen said with a touch of disappointment.

This was the first major project she had taken charge of since becoming the president, and she had thought it would be smooth sailing. However, it had turned into such a mess.

"If Simona Salvage were to handle that project, would you be willing to collaborate?" Billy asked, compromising.
