Zoe Bell had to muster up a great deal of courage to shout that phrase. Seeing Old Sir Hale's strong reaction, she nudged William Hale with her elbow, hinting with her eyes:
Did I go too far?
Some older people might find terms like "husband" and "wife" too cloying due to their age.
William Hale showed no reaction on the surface, and Zac Cruz, standing to one side, took a deep breath:
My dear old dad,
You must be laughing like crazy!
What tolerance!
Otherwise, how could he be the boss.
This endurance, incredible.
William Hale just said, "Alright, I'll give it a try."
Before he had finished speaking, he bent down and took a bite from the spot on the coconut cake that Zoe had bitten.
Zoe hadn't expected him to do that.
She thought William would take another pastry from the plate.
