Aurum said, "I broke up with Natalie because of Gale."Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply. "Really. Just to be with her?""It's not just that.""Then why?"Aurum pursed his lips and thought for a long time before saying, "I didn't know Gale before you two got married. What if I told you I knew her way before you did?"Shawn's sharp eyes swept straight at him. "Impossible."How could Aurum meet Gale before he did!It was a fantasy!"It's true. I knew her before you," Aurum said.Moreover, she belonged to him in the first place.It had been since childhood.If it were not because of her disappearance, Aurum would have been married a long time ago. He would have married the girl he loved and lived a happy life.Shawn narrowed his eyes deeply. "Did you meet her when she was a child? Or did you go to the same school as her?""None. However, the answer will be revealed soon," Aurum replied.Gale's true identity could not be revealed casually yet!Shawn could not figure out what

"I'll bring some up for Nicole."The servant yelled, "How can you call her by name? You must learn how to use honorifics! Who allowed you to mess with things? Who do you think you are?"Gale did not want to cause trouble at first.After all, she was now dependent on others.However, it was not the turn of a servant to stand on top of her head and boss her around!In the entire Temperley Hall, everyone knew that she was Gale, Mrs. Wood!"Who am I? Winnie can bully me, but it doesn't mean that people like you can bully me!" Gale said.The servant snorted, "You also know that Ms. Nightingale is the lady of the family now. That's good. Put yourself in the right place!""What did Winnie give you for you to bend over backward for her? Let me tell you, as far as Winnie's character is concerned, she won't be able to be proud for long. I will get my revenge!"Gale was no saint.She would definitely retaliate severely!If someone offended her, she would definitely offend them!She wa

She was not dreaming, was she?Was this real?Gale moved her hand to her thigh, intending to pinch herself fiercely.However, when she was about to pinch herself, he grabbed her wrist.Immediately afterward, Shawn wrapped her hand in his palm, rubbing his fingertips on the back of her hand repeatedly."It's true. It will hurt, don't pinch yourself. When you hurt, my heart hurts too," Shawn said.Gale blinked.She felt more like she was dreaming.What happened to Shawn? Why was he being so nice to her?Gale looked aside.The kitchen was empty, beside him and her.The other servants have already left, leaving room for Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood. Gale swallowed her saliva. "You...have a fever again?""Fever?""That's right. You only act like this when you have a fever," Gale said.She still remembered that Shawn's attitude toward her changed when his high fever persisted that night.After he recovered from his illness, he began to be obedient, gentle, and considerate to Winnie.

His topic switched so fast that Gale could not react.Hand?What was wrong with her hand?When Gale lowered her head, Shawn had already stepped forward and grabbed her. "Have you applied the ointment given to you? Why hasn't the scab fallen off yet?""Ointment... I applied it every day."However, it was secretly given to her by the housekeeper.How did Shawn know?Would he not blame the housekeeper?"I bought the ointment myself. It has nothing to do with anyone!" Gale said quickly.The more cautious she was, the more Shawn felt distressed.Without saying a word, he held her hand firmly and walked out."Hey, you..."Gale wanted to struggle, but he held her tighter.The lights are bright in the living room.Shawn found the medicine box and reapplied the medicine for her carefully.Gale was not used to it, but he was very focused. The hair on his forehead fell down, adding a bit of tenderness.The gentle Shawn, in fact, was more lethal than the irritable him!It was beca

"I only have one request! I want her to return Nicole to me." Gale said.The grievances she has suffered these days were just for Nicole!Shawn's Adam's apple rolled, "Gale, that day... is coming soon.""That's what you said when Nicole just called Winnie Mommy. You told me to leave it to you. You said you would find a way to make me trust you. Shawn, I did it all, but what about you? How did you fail me?""I had to."Gale sneered. "Do you still have a problem according to what you said?"Shawn nodded deeply. "I do have..."Before he finished speaking, Gale interrupted, "Do you still want to say that you did all this for me? For Nicole? You are using Winnie, and you are confusing her so that you can find a way to recover Nicole's consciousness from her, right?"Right.She was right. She guessed right.Shawn knew that if he nodded his head like this, he would get ridiculed by Gale.She would not believe it.Gale would only think that he was talking nonsense.That was why Sh

He still did not say a word. Gale's brain was running fast, thinking back to the weird things that had happened the past few days."That's right. The night I peeled nuts and got hurt, I fell asleep in such a daze that I did not apply any medicine. But when I woke up the next day, the wounds on my fingers had been treated. Oh...Could it be that you sneaked into the room at night and gave me the medicine?" Gale said.She never thought about it.She realized that only Shawn could do this!"Would you believe me if I said it was me, Gale?"Gale gritted her teeth. "Yes, no, give me a quick answer!"Why was it so hard to communicate with Shawn?Could he not be more direct?When did he become so whiny? He was not at all like the person she knew!Shawn nodded. "It's me. I thought...you had forgotten about it."It really was him!Gale was puzzled. "You did not stop me, did not save me, and then came to help me with the medicine. Shawn, what are you thinking? Are you so afraid of offen

"She is not sick. Don't worry. Don't you like Mrs. Anne very much? Mrs. Anne will always be with you," Shawn said."I still want Mommy."Nicole looked sad and lonely.Mother's love was irreplaceable.Gale gave her so much love and cared in the past, making Nicole happy. Although she was not that rich, she gave Nicole everything she could.Now…Although Nicole had everything she wanted, she was not so happy anymore.She missed those times when Mommy accompanied her every day, taught her homework, accompanied her to draw, and told her stories."I know." Shawn hugged his daughter. "Nicole, you will have everything you want soon.""Really?""When did Daddy lie to you?"He smiled, hugged Nicole with one hand, and scratched her nose with the other.Nicole also laughed.Gale stood by and watched this scene, feeling like an outsider.However, that was obviously her child."You were in the kitchen just now. What were you going to do?" Shawn looked sideways at her.He did not for

It made Gale a little scared!He suddenly became so clingy and treated her well. It always made her feel that he had premeditated it!When she lets go of her guard little by little, Shawn will strike and give her a fatal blow!"Can you...be a normal person? Shawn, I'm weak, and I can't stand your constant shocks. Can you let me go?" Gale asked.He picked up the fork slowly and picked up vegetables for her and Nicole, as if he did not hear her.Gale touched her nose in embarrassment.Before she said anything, Shawn spoke first. "The cutlery is clean. I haven't used it yet, so don't be disgusted."He seemed to have the ability to read minds.Gale lowered her head to pick up the fork. "I can eat it myself."She could not wait to finish the meal in one bite and leave immediately!She could not stand Shawn like this!Gale just wanted to escape, but Shawn only thought that the time they spent together was too short.They were living together these days.Once Natalie was exposed

Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female

She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter

Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you

“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica

The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S

"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall

"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After

Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac

Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
