"This matter is complicated... Tricky, tricky. Then what are you going to do next? Now Gale should know that when you are so good to Winnie, you are all acting, right?" Joe shook his head repeatedly."Yes.""That's fine. Admit your mistake, apologize, coax her, and buy a bouquet of flowers or something. You have to be thick-skinned. If it really doesn't work, kneel down on the remote control, and the matter will be resolved." Joe breathed a sigh of relief.Shawn's expression darkened. "Tomorrow, I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her.""Oh, let's go." Joe waved his hand indifferently.After two seconds, Joe stood up abruptly. "Wait, where are you going? Did I hear wrong?""Civil Affairs Bureau," Shawn repeated."You, you… don't simply go to that place if you have nothing to do...what are you doing there!""We are getting divorced."He thought he had won for sure, and he was just waiting to show off in front of Summer so that she would be ready to be his girlfriend for

Shawn closed his eyes and looked indifferent because he had already accepted this fact.It was just that it was hard to digest, and every time he thought about it, it hurt so much.The only woman he loved in his life had fallen for another man?What was wrong with him?"You probably haven't given up yet… Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to the jewelry department. Gale is outside. Why don't I call her in so you can talk?" Joe asked."No need.""Then why are you here?""To look at her. I'm afraid she might be emotionally unstable," Shawn said.After all, so many things were revealed one by one in front of her, she could not accept it for a while, and she really needed to calm down."I think she is quite stable, chatting and laughing with Peach, but you are unstable. There are still more than ten hours until tomorrow. Why don't you work harder?"Shawn got up and walked out without saying a word.So what?So what if he tried harder to recover?How could he keep a person who h

She grabbed two handfuls of her hair and roared, "Okay, stop talking!"The entire office of the jewelry department fell into a deathly silence...Gale usually has a good temper. As long as no one deliberately troubled her and picked on her, she could get along with anyone harmoniously.Today, she was indeed in a terrible mood.On the one hand, she learned the truth and everything Shawn had done silently.On the one hand, they were going to divorce tomorrow."I'm sorry. I want to be alone," Gale said.She strode out.In fact, Gale did not know where she could go.She was a mess.Her mind was in a mess.Finally, she came to kindergarten.The security guard came over and asked her, "Hi, who are you looking for?""I..."Gale touched her face.She did not pretend to be old and ugly today, so she could not see Nicole."I'm Joshua's mother. I want to see him," Gale said.Gale felt that when she was at a loss and helpless, she would feel more at ease when she thought about the

Joshua choked suddenly and started to cough loudly. His face turned red!Gale quickly reached out and patted his back. "Drink slowly.""Cough, cough, cough." Joshua took a long time to calm down. "Mommy, you...you just said...cough cough cough...""Natalie is poisoned. You've been at Aurum's house every day. Have you noticed anything unusual? Besides, you didn't eat indiscriminately, did you?"Having said that, Gale instantly became nervous.Chronic poison would accumulate over time.Should he go to the hospital for an examination!?"I'm fine! Don't worry, Mommy. I'm in great shape!" Joshua waved his hand.Why would he poison himself when he was the one who poisoned her?!Besides, without him, things would not have gone unnoticed!However, Joshua did not want Gale to know.Unfortunately, as a parent, the most worrying thing was the health of the child.Gale thought for a while, feeling very worried. "No, you'd better go to the hospital with me for a full-body examination."

"Ah! Don't! Mommy, calm down..." Joshua quickly stopped her."I'll give you a minute."Gale turned on the timer on the phone, put it in front of Joshua, and slowly started drinking coke.It was delicious, but… Joshua's small face was wrinkled into a ball."Okay... well, I'll talk," he muttered.Only then did Gale pause."Let's talk about Natalie's poisoning, I did it..."This time, it was Gale's turn to choke!"Cough cough cough cough... Joshua, what are you talking about!?"She raised her voice without noticing it.After realizing that this was a canteen, Gale lowered his voice. "Say it again? You did it?"How did Joshua do it?Where did he get it?How could he do something to Natalie?"Yes, it's me. Mommy, listen to my explanation, in fact...Uncle Shawn asked me to do it." Joshua nodded and began to put the main responsibility on Shawn."Shawn!?""Yes, he gave me the poison, and he also taught me how to put it in Natalie's food, how much dosage a day, so that no one w

However, Joshua's maturity far exceeded Gale's imagination!Even if Shawn gave other tasks, as long as it could help Gale and Nicole, Joshua would do it!He was not afraid!He just wanted to protect his family!Joshua thought so in his heart, but he said, "Okay, Mommy, it won't happen in the future. There won't be a next time.""Is there really no next time?""Really. You and Nicole will not be tricked by bad guys again! I promise!" Joshua said.He patted his chest very proudly.Uncle Shawn was unreliable, too stupid, and had no courage at all.Everyone had to rely on Joshua to support the whole family!Gale patted his head. "I should be the one to protect you. I'm an adult, and I'm your mommy.""But you are a girl, and it is only right for boys to protect girls!"Gale laughed and touched his forehead. "Okay, the man of our family, cheers.""Cheers!"After seeing Joshua, Gale felt much better.She sent Joshua back to the classroom. "Finish the last two classes, bye.""G

"Is it possible that one day...even me could be your pawn?"Even if Shawn really took advantage of her, Gale would not be so angry.However, he asked Joshua, and she could not accept it!Shawn looked at her deeply. "I believe that Joshua can do it perfectly. Under such circumstances, only he can freely enter Aurum's house and get close to Natalie. He is the best candidate."Gale bit her lower lip hard. "You don't care about Joshua at all. You have always been cold-hearted, heartless, and Joshua... He's not your child. You don't care about his life!"'Shawn, that was your son!''Biological son!''If you knew Joshua's true identity, would you still give him such a dangerous task so casually!'Once Natalie accidentally found out, Joshua would be finished!"Galey, I never thought of it that way."Although Joshua was very good at such a young age, Nicole was so elated that she circled around him, and kept calling her brother, which made Shawn deeply jealous and a little dissatisfi

"Are you going? Or are you not allowing me to go?" Gale asked."I was afraid it might scare you.""I'm not as fragile as you think. Let's go," Gale said.She went out first.Shawn frowned deeply but still followed.The place where Winnie was detained was at the foot of a remote mountain.There were no street lights, it was pitch black everywhere, and it was extremely quiet that you could hear the calls of various unknown small animals.Even on the way there, Gale clearly saw a big snake slowly crawling across the road in front of the headlights.Her back hairs raised up, and thin goosebumps appeared on her arms.The car eventually stopped in front of an abandoned second-story house."Mr. Wood." The bodyguard stepped forward and opened the car door respectfully.As Shawn got out of the car, he saw Gale standing beside him numbly, her body tightly pressed against him.Usually, she wished she could put a galaxy distance away from him."Afraid? It's okay. Nothing can hurt you

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
