Chapter 1182

Author: Wen Tang Tang
The corner of Joshua's mouth curled down, almost crying.

However, what could be done?

It was the pancake he said he wanted to eat, and he had to finish it no matter what!

It was all his own doing!

Moreover, Shawn really drove for an hour to buy him pancakes!

He was simply flattered!

Gale did not know that this scene was so warm in the eyes of outsiders.

In front of the steaming stall, she and Shawn stood side by side, with Joshua next to them, eating pancakes by mouthfuls. The corners of his mouth were covered with butter, and the boss was busy closing the stall.

Until a rapid ringtone of the mobile phone rang.

Shawn answered the phone. "Hello?"

The bodyguard's voice was very flustered. "Bad news, Mr. Wood! Natalie...she ran away!"

In the quiet night, Gale, next to him, could hear the voice from the receiver clearly!

They looked at each other, and their expressions immediately changed!

What happened?

How was it possible?

Natalie was poisoned, took the sex potion again, a

    "Mr. Wood, she is a nurse. When Mr. Yarn went in to see Natalie, she happened to change her dressing. Originally, I asked Mr. Yarn to enter first because you only gave him ten minutes. After he comes out, the nurse will go in and change the dressing," the captain explained."But Mr. Yarn said it was alright, and they went in together. Before I could say anything, he took the nurse in and changed the dressing together. Then, ten minutes later, the nurse came out together with Mr. Yarn.""I took a look inside and found someone on the hospital bed. I thought the person lying there was Natalie, so I didn't go in to check..."Shawn fully understood what was going on.He looked at the nurse.The nurse was crying. "I don't know anything, Mr. Wood. I'm the victim! I just want to change the dressing. Just after changing the dressing, my neck suddenly hurt, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself in the ward. I knocked on the door and asked the bodyguards to let me out

    Hmm… He dealt with it as a real man, as expected of his father!Shawn's cell phone kept ringing.The latest search situation was being reported from all directions."Natalie was not found at the exit of the expressway.""There is no record of Natalie's ticket purchase at the airport.""Checked the surveillance, and Natalie got into a taxi after leaving the hospital."Shawn frowned deeply.Could it be Natalie had left Sea City?Several hours had passed. Although Sea City is big, two hours was enough to get out of the city.Shawn ordered, "Continue to guard the exit and check all the entry and exit monitoring after Natalie escaped!""Yes, Mr. Wood!""Once you find it, lock the license plate and track it all the way to the ends of the earth...and chase it back!"The voice fell, and there were chaotic footsteps outside.Immediately afterwards, Matthew walked in under the guard of the bodyguards.Matthew's expression was calm, without any sign of panic, as if he had expected a

    It was because only in this way could Natalie be saved!The rest, he could not control so much now!"And, even though you knew that I was your biological daughter and Natalie was your adopted daughter, you still chose her... In your heart, the adopted daughter is more important than your own daughter?" Gale continued. This was what hurt Gale the most.Her biological father, after weighing the pros and cons, chose Natalie regardless of her feelings!Not to mention Nicole!Why...Was blood thicker than water?"Mrs. Wood, you are different from Natalie," Matthew said."Yes, it's different. She is her! I am me!""You don't understand what I mean. You have Mr. Wood, you have a daughter, you have the Warm family to take care of you, you have love, family and friendship, you are very rich, and you can have whatever you want. But… she has nothing left!" Matthew tried to explain.Matthew became more and more aggravated as he spoke, "She only had one life! I will help her keep that l

    "Don't apologize, because Natalie can't escape. According to the feedback from Uncle Shawn's subordinates, I judge...she must still be in town and not left yet," Joshua said.Joshua's sentence was well-founded and logically clear."Matthew, when you ran away with her, you already guessed that once Uncle Shawn finds out, he will definitely send people to all the entrances and exits of Sea City as soon as possible to look for Natalie.""If Natalie leaves Sea City, they can find her by following the license plate and surveillance. All your efforts will be in vain at that time, and she will be arrested again.""So, your plan must be to let Natalie stay in Sea City, wait for it to die down, wait for the people at the entrance and exit to withdraw, and then leave without anyone noticing! Only in this way can you escape successfully, and she will not be followed!"Matthew's face turned pale, but he immediately scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about!""See. Although you deny it, M

    Joshua did not play by the rules, and with his unconstrained thinking, he guessed right at once!Seeing that the plan was revealed, Matthew was extremely anxious. "No, don't catch Natalie… Mr. Wood, I beg you, please let her go. I am willing to bear everything for her. I am the one who can't teach my girl!"Shawn looked indifferent.Matthew gritted his teeth and knelt down with a plop.The man was rich and had an ego, not to mention Matthew was so old. When has he ever been so humble?However, for Natalie, he could only humble himself."Mr. Wood, let her live... She is still young. She made a mistake this time. Give her a chance to correct it!" Matthew begged bitterly.It was an image of a father who has broken his heart for the sake of ignorant children.Shawn looked at him condescendingly. "I have given Natalie a chance, and more than once. As long as she makes Nicole regain consciousness, other matters can be discussed. But how did she fare with it?""I can go to persuade..

    Could it be...Shawn attacked her?Is Matthew going to plead for mercy?"Natalie has escaped. It was your husband who helped her escape. He tried his best to help Natalie escape. Are you going to kneel down with him and beg us to let Natalie go?" Gale looked at Mary.Mary gasped.She stared blankly at Matthew. "How could you do such a thing?""Am I not doing this for Natalie?""You can persuade her, you can care about her, and feel sorry for her, but you can't let her run away! If she runs away, what will Nicole do? What will Gale think? What's more... She's also poisoned!" Mary said."I can't control that much anymore. If Natalie doesn't leave, she will either die or life will be worse than death!"Mary shook her head again and again. "You are confused! Matthew!"After doing this, Gale's heart would be broken!Mary is a woman, and women understand women.She understood Gale's sadness...Mary looked at Gale and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she did not know what

    She squatted down. "Joshua, hey, it's late. I'll ask the bodyguard to take you back, okay?""I want to be with you."I don't need you to accompany me now. I have Uncle Shawn here. You should go to bed, and you can see me when you wake up," Gale said.Joshua asked, "But you should sleep too."Where could Gale sleep?"I still have something to do. I have to deal with this bad woman Natalie. Be obedient." Gale patted his head.She did not want Joshua to see this as he was still young.Moreover, Natalie would be here soon, and she did not want Natalie to see Joshua!What if Natalie guessed that the person who poisoned him was Joshua? Joshua nodded reluctantly. "Okay. Then you have to take care of yourself!""Uh-huh."Joshua was still worried and turned around and tugged on Shawn's sleeve. "Hey, sir.""Yes.""I handed over the Big Beauty to you. You have to protect her well. Did you understand that?" Joshua urged.Shawn replied slowly, "Who dares to bully my woman?""I mean,

    Mary stomped her feet again and again. "That was such a bad idea! It hurt Natalie, hurt you, and hurt Gale!""Okay, don't talk about it, now... the most urgent thing now is to think about how to keep Natalie safe!"This was the most important thing to Matthew."Wrong! The most important thing is for Natalie to undo the spell on Ms. Nicole, let her admit her mistakes and apologize, and ask Mr. and Mrs. Wood to forgive her!" Mary corrected him.Matthew blushed and reprimanded, "Did you treat Natalie as a daughter?""Of course, I regard her as my daughter! I have taught her homework since she was a child! I want to save her because I still recognize her as a daughter!"Mary's intention was to make Natalie stand upright and accept the beating, to bow her head to admit her mistakes, correct them, pay a heavy price, and repent.However, Matthew's rescue was blindly eccentric!"I don't think you recognize Natalie's daughter anymore! It was a lie to keep saying that you treated Natalie

    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
