"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..."

After a few seconds of silence, she said, "Who on earth informed him?"She was suspicious of Shawn!However, she could not ask him directly!Shawn replied, "It wasn't me! If I don't want to divorce, I wouldn't have agreed to you. I didn't know Grandpa would make such a fuss."The phone rang.Shawn answered the phone. "Hello?""Mr. Wood...Your grandpa just... just woke up suddenly..." the housekeeper said."Woke up?""Yes, yes, he has something to tell you!"The housekeeper brought the phone to Lucas."Shawn, if you really get a divorce, then... that... would be a big disobedience! It is pissing me off!""If you still want me to live a few more years, you have to listen to me!""It pissed me off... You think the Wood family belongs to you. You can do whatever you want, and no one can control you anymore. Are you satisfied?"Lucas took a breath after speaking."Grandpa, you are threatening me," Shawn replied."I'm going to threaten you.... If you want to die and hold a fun

"It's a good thing you arrived on time. Otherwise, Shawn and his wife would have gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau… it is just a few minutes away." The housekeeper was a little terrified."I really don't know what these two people are thinking. They are still talking about divorce! Young people are just outragous!"The housekeeper replied, "I don't know what happened, it was fine two days ago.""Are you sure they're fine? Will they be fine someday… This conflict has always been there, and it hasn't been resolved at all."Although Lucas was old, he was not old-fashioned, and his heart was like a mirror.The so-called 'father-killing vengeance' doomed Shawn and Gale to indelible pain.Now, the old wound has not healed, and a new wound has been added!Lucas sighed and paused, thinking of the scene just now. He found it funny and could not help laughing."I'm old, and I just pretended to faint... I've never done this kind of thing in my life. Now, for the sake of the relationship be

Joe stroked his chin and thought for a while. "Is Shawn sick? That's why he can't go?""Or...was he in a car accident?""Broke his leg and can't walk? It's just postponed for another day?"Joe kept talking, and the more he talked, the more outrageous it became!Gale could not stand the noise from him."Mr. Winter! Can you stop gossiping?" Gale replied."No."Gale resisted the urge to roll her eyes.Joe raised his eyebrows. "Then let me gossip about something else?""What else?"Gale was stunned. What else should Joe gossip about?Seeing her blank face, Joe said, "Joshua, Shawn's son. You have been back to Sea City for so long, and I haven't seen him once... Have you left him in the small town?"Joe quite liked Joshua.He was smart and very fun.Shawn had really won the lottery. He had both sons and daughters; the son was extremely smart, and the daughter was cute and beautiful!"Joshua...has been staying at Aurum's house. Shawn also knows," Gale replied.Joe was surpris

"I will definitely choose a time, quietly take the two children away, and fly far away, so that Shawn can never find them.""Oh, by the way, before I leave, I want to let Shawn know all the truth, let him know that he has a son, and let him know the pain clearly!" Summer added.Gale lowered her eyes and remained silent.Joe said, "Summer, you're a bit cruel.""If women are not ruthless, their status is unstable!"Summer had always acted like this.Dare to love and hate! Free and easy!Joe sized her up. "You woman... tsk tsk tsk. Summer, if anyone marries you, it's really..."Summer glared. "What is it really?""It's really a curse... no, it's a blessing from eight lifetimes!"Joe did not dare to offend Summer at this time.Every time they talked about marriage, Summer was very concerned about it and would always quarrel with him!Maybe she was really afraid that she would not be able to marry?Joe thought if she really got to that point, he could reluctantly accept her.A

Joe had a relaxed expression on his face. He was sure of winning, and he was not afraid at all.Seeing him so calm, Summer became even more uneasy.She had vaguely sensed in her heart... that she was about to lose.However, she would never admit defeat until the last moment!"Let's talk. Gale, tell Summer!" Joe looked forward to it.Gale looked at Summer with a sympathetic look.Well, before she opened her mouth, Summer lost her confidence in her heart.Only a guilty conscience!Summer swallowed. "Er...Gale, did you really misunderstand Shawn?"Gale nodded. "Yes, we all misunderstood him."Summer almost lost her balance and passed out.She quickly supported herself with the table. "Wait... You need to explain. How did you misunderstand him? Who put a knife on his neck and forced him to be with Winnie, forcing him to share the bed with her?""Isn't that all his own choice! I think he enjoys it! How could it be a misunderstanding again? Gale, don't be fooled by Shawn!""A ma

"Okay, do you know you lost?""I know."Joe became more and more stunned. "Are you fulfilling the end of your bet?""Yes. I am willing to admit defeat. My vision is not as good as yours. I misunderstood Shawn, I admit it." Summer nodded.Joe smiled in satisfaction and was about to say something when Summer spoke, "But…""Huh? But what?""This doesn't mean that Shawn is a qualified husband, a good partner who is suitable for the rest of his life. If you stay with him, you won't be happy!" Summer said.Shawn was too selfish, always in control of everything, thinking that he was doing it for Gale's good, but in fact, he never asked Gale if she was willing or not.Marriage is for two people. They support each other and help each other. Not one person bears everything, and the other just enjoys it."Yes. I questioned him why didn't he tell me in advance, why didn't he plan with me in advance... Am I unworthy? Or does he think I don't have the ability to do it? He said he didn't wan

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
