"Actually...I've been thinking about a question.""I know what you're thinking."Gale was startled. "You even know this?"Could he read minds?"You must be wondering whether your sudden disappearance when you were young was a premeditated plan. Someone deliberately abducted you and sent Natalie to the Yarn family home on purpose. Let you live in exile," Shawn said in a deep voice.They must have planned a way to let Natalie enter the home.At that time, Mary was immersed in the grief of her daughter's disappearance and suddenly had an adopted daughter, which was considered a comfort.How logical it was.Gale took a deep breath. "That's right. I think my disappearance paves the way for Natalie to enter the Yarn family!""Gale, then who do you think...who has the most reason to do this?"She jumped. "Matthew!"He was the most suspicious!Only he could do it!"No, I don't think it should be him," Shawn denied"Why?"Shawn rubbed her hair deeply. "It's just intuition. You ar

However, Shawn knew that if she did not want to, she would push him away.He used to think that a kiss was a kiss, whether she wanted it or not, as long as he got what he wanted.Now his mind had changed… He still needs the other person's consent… to experience the most wonderful feeling.Gale leaned obediently in Shawn's arms.She did not move or speak.The surroundings were extremely quiet as if there were only him and her left in the world.Shawn's fingers followed her hair one by one."Gale, I will always be on your side. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong," he said softly.He takes sides.Unconditionally.Just like... how Matthew favored Natalie."You, you… It's unreasonable. How could you still want to stand by my side if I make a mistake?" Gale murmured."Because I want you to know that there is also someone who will always favor you in the world."Pausing for a few seconds, Shawn took a deep breath. "So Gale, you don't have to envy others, let alone Natali

"Galey, you know, my parents divorced very early, and my father married Paula, the stepmother. You know how she treats me...""At that time, I had nowhere to vent my emotions. I only believed that my father-in-law killed my father and forced all my pain and annoyance on you. Once I was free, I would go through surveillance for two years and quietly watch you."Shawn looked at it for several hours.At first, he just wanted to see Gale's miserable state in exchange for some peace of mind and the pleasure of revenge.Gradually, it becomes a habit.Shawn was there every day.Watched it when he woke up, watched it before going to bed, watched it when he was free, and glanced at it even when he was busy.He thought that Gale would fall into a slump, that she would go crazy, that she would be stupid, and that she would want to commit suicide, but unexpectedly, she endured all this with strength and tried her best to survive in the desperate situation."Galey, your every move is beyond

Gale did not understand until today.Maybe it was because it was just too late tonight, or maybe too many things happened tonight, that Gale and Shawn were so calm talking about the past.Talk about those pains and those past."Galey, those are all in the past… We only talk about the present and the future," Shawn murmured.Gale smiled. "Now you can accept that I fall in love with other men? In the future, can you accept that I will bear children for other men?"Shawn did not answer right away but looked at her with clear eyes. "Do you want to hear the truth?""I've always wanted to hear the truth.""Galey, the truth is that I still can't accept it. But I will try to let go and make it happen. I will have very bad emotions in my heart, and I will be very uncomfortable with Aurum. But, I can suppress these emotions for you," Shawn said."It was you who taught me...Love is not possession. Love is to hope for a person's happiness. Even if the person who gives happiness is not me."

"Yes, Mr. Wood."Raindrops were crackling on the windows, and the wipers were working non-stop.The sudden violent wind and rain in the dark night looked particularly terrifying.However, the inside of the car was like another world, quiet and warm."Shawn...""What's the matter? Sleepy? Hungry? Still cold?" he quickly responded.Gale shook her head. "Neither. I found that you always like to do things but don't like to talk about them."Some men would talk about it more than ten times if they had done something. As for him, he did great things without saying anything.Shawn would never tell Gale how much he had paid and sacrificed for her.He has always only done, not said.Use his way and behavior to protect her.It was like...he was just playing around with Winnie for the sake of Nicole. He did it alone for such a big matter.Like, he held an umbrella for her, got himself wet, and protected her from a drop of water."There's nothing to say. It's only natural for a man

"Unfortunately, although the woman that you love is strong and independent, I am a coward in love. I will never say these words in front of you who are awake. I only dare to say quietly when you are asleep. Let me hear it for you…"Gale rested her head on his heart.Boom, boom, boom…She heard his steady and strong heartbeat.Gale listened to his heartbeat and said, "Shawn, I forgave you when Susan kidnapped me, and then...you risked your life to save me."She would remember that scene all her life.She would never forget it in her life.The frenzied and desperate Susan took Gale hostage.The long knife was on her neck, threatening Shawn.Whatever Susan said, Shawn followed suit.He was willing to use himself as a hostage in exchange for Gale's safety.Especially when Shawn could exchange his life for hers.He stabbed his body with a knife. He was willing to die. He was not afraid of death for her.Looking at that scene, Gale would be lying if she said she was not shocked

She asked thoughtfully again, "Is your arm okay? Is it numb?""Even if it's numb, I'm willing."Gale found the most comfortable position for her arms. "Go on and sleep.""I'll wake up. It's not so easy to go back to sleep. I just want to accompany you," Shawn said.He stroked her hair.She was very good.It was rare to see Gale being so obedient and clinging to him.Like a kitten.Shawn knew that she was so sad at the moment that she relied on him so much.Therefore, he also cherished this short time.He did not know if there would be a next time."Okay. You've had enough sleep. Let me sleep instead..." Gale closed her eyes."Okay."Shawn patted her on the back lightly, like putting a child to sleep.Fortunately, the space inside the car was spacious enough, and the air was fresh after the rain... It was very pleasant.Soon, Gale really fell asleep.Shawn raised the corners of his lips deeply.Two very childish people.He fell asleep, and she fell asleep after.Think

The car could not lie flat and stuffy and was hard to turn over. How can they sleep all night?Shawn gave him a cool look. "You're single, of course, you don't understand."As he said that, he was about to raise the car window lest Joe woke Gale.Chattering, very noisy.However, Joe had sharp eyesight and quick hands and immediately lay down on the car window."Hey! How dare you look down on me! I have a girlfriend now!" Joe retorted proudly.Shawn's hand landed on the window button, and he paused.What did he hear?A girlfriend?Joe actually did it?"Are you serious or joking? You have a girlfriend?" Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply.Could Joe let go of Summer and love another woman?Or did Joe use some bad trick...to get rid of Summer?After much deliberation, Shawn only thought of these two possibilities.The third case was absolutely impossible!"Yes. An old iron tree like you can bloom, get married, and be a father, but I can't?" Joe became more and more complacent

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
