Divorce!She must leave!"What does it matter? We are getting a divorce.""But I want to know."Gale hesitated for a few seconds, then said softly, "Yes."It was so light that it was just a nasal sound, like an auditory hallucination.However, Shawn heard it.The whistling wind blew past his ears, but what remained in his ears was only the word 'Yes'.It was very light and thin, but Shawn felt that it was the most touching word he had ever heard.It was enough.Gale got out of the car and walked to the villa.The car lights shone on her back, and Shawn just watched this scene quietly, watching her walk away. Her figure gradually became smaller until it disappeared.He suddenly understood what Gale felt when he went to send Nicole to school with her, standing at the kindergarten gate, watching Nicole walk into the classroom with her school bag on his back.Watching a person drift away and knowing you would not be a part of their life anymore... It was certain that Nicole

He looked gentle, and he kept stroking Nicole's cheek with his fingertips. His eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.The day Nicole regained consciousness would be the day she left him.How could he not miss such a cute daughter? Gale turned her head away, not watching this scene.Although Nicole was young, she also sensed that something was wrong."Daddy, are you going on a business trip?" she asked.Shawn shook his head and said, "Business trip? No, I've always been here.""Then why... I think you seem to be leaving me. The way you look at me is different from usual. I thought you were going to leave me, and I would wait for you at home," Nicole said."No."Shawn bent down to pick her up and put her on the dining chair.Nicole pouted. "When will Mommy come back... I haven't seen her for a long time. Last night, I dreamed of her.""Are you missing her that much?""Don't daddy miss her?"Shawn took a deep sip of coffee. "Nicole.""Hmm?""If you miss Mommy so much,

They were about to get a divorce!Bad!'No, absolutely not, this matter can't be done so casually!' the housekeeper thought.He had to figure out a way.The housekeeper quietly left the dining room.Shawn and Gale only cared about Nicole's emotions and did not care about the surroundings at all.While wiping Nicole's tears, Gale said, "Then, seeing that Nicole misses you so much and cries like this, are you satisfied and happy?""I..."Forget it. There are too many mistakes.Do not explain.Shawn did not expect that Nicole's reaction would be so great. His daughter still cared for him. Thinking about it this way, his empty heart was more or less comforted.The daughter will also be the bond between him and Gale for the rest of his life."Daddy, in my heart, you are as important as Mommy." Nicole looked at him with teary eyes.She looked a bit like Gale, and Shawn's heart melted when he saw it.Shawn patted her head deeply. "Well, I see. Nicole can like Mommy and Daddy."

"Really? Why didn't I know that my home was in trouble?"As he spoke, he casually glanced in the direction of the housekeeper.The housekeeper lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.Who could resist Shawn's sharp eyes?That was a death stare!Before Lucas said anything, Shawn had already guessed who had informed him!Lucas spent his days in the old home, living a leisurely life. His greatest wish was to have a great-grandchild in his arms. It had been fulfilled, and he had no regrets or anything he must do.For ordinary things, it was impossible to please the old man!"Stop pretending." Lucas snorted heavily, pointing at Shawn, "You."Then, his finger moved slightly, pointing at Gale, "And you!"Gale looked surprised.She always felt that she could stay out of it because she could not understand what Lucas and Shawn were talking about.She thought it was none of her business.Unexpectedly... Lucas called her by name?"What's wrong? Lucas, I haven't offended

"Grandpa, the divorce is a matter between me and Gale. We have decided and reached an agreement, and that's enough," Shawn said very calmly.After a few seconds of silence, he added, "I respect you very much. As long as you are still alive, I need to support you and let you decide all matters of the Wood family.""Why are you getting a divorce? She married into the Wood family, and she is the daughter-in-law of my Wood family. Her every move represents the Wood family! It's the Wood family, and you have to get my consent for divorce!" Lucas said.The more Lucas talked, the more aggravated he became.Gale said nothing.After all, this was Shawn's grandfather, so let him handle it!"So, does Grandpa agree to our divorce?"When Gale heard what he said, she got anxious and tugged on his sleeve again.How could he ask such a question?The old man would definitely disagree! Otherwise, why would he rush here in such a hurry?"Of course, I don't agree! You have gone through so much;

However, Gale still wanted to stand up for Shawn. "Shawn didn't do anything to me.""Then why are you getting a divorce?""The relationship is broken. There is no love for each other anymore, life together is meaningless, and we will not be happy if we are forced to be together, so it is better to separate," Gale said."You guys are out of your minds! You have already reached this point. You have children. What can't be accommodated? In life, husband and wife support and understand each other to make it to the end."Lucas always felt that the two of them just bickered and quarreled, and then they decided to divorce in anger.Just a little persuasion would be fine."Couples would always quarrel, but there is a good saying: every argument ends at bedtime. Take a day to calm down. Don't do anything while you are angry.""And no matter how angry you are, don't talk about divorce casually. It is taboo in marriage. It's okay."As he said that, Lucas waved his hand. "That's it, Shawn.

"Do you think Nicole is stupid? Do you think she won't understand what divorce means? No matter how much you pretend, no matter how harmonious you are, you are no longer husband and wife. You don't eat at the same table, sleep on the same bed, and live separately!"Gale wanted to argue, but Lucas raised his hand and stopped her."Don't talk back with me. At my age, I have experienced far more than you! Gale, your parents...you were very happy until you were twenty, so I won't talk about it."Lucas paused for a few seconds, then looked at Shawn."Shawn. You are different from Gale. You grew up... living in a family environment that divorced. Your father remarried and gave birth to a younger brother. How did your life get by?"The corner of Shawn's mouth twitched slightly.It seemed to have reminded him of the past.Those childhood memories that no one knew.Gale was taken aback for a while.That was right. Shawn was a child who grew up in a divorced family environment.He was

Because of Shawn's status, others would not talk about him to his face. They would only flatter him, but when he turned around, they would speak badly of him.Moreover, the stepmother would bully him discreetly, making him feel uncomfortable, but he could not say it out loud.For example, the stepmother only bought new toys for the younger brother, not for him.For example, in the school's parent-teacher meeting, she would go to his younger brother's classroom first and arrive at his class late.He thought that he would never think of these things again, but he did not expect that he would remember them because he was going to divorce Gale... "I don't understand, but you can see that Nicole has never felt inferior," Gale replied."Not now. What about one year after our divorce? Two years? As she grows up and becomes sensible?"Gale looked sideways at his sharp jaw. "So... are you going to go back on your word?"They would not get a divorce because of what Lucas said. "I..."

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
