Shawn nodded deeply. "As you can see.""I thought Joe was just talking casually. Even if he wins, it's almost enough to just brag. At most, he will use this matter to suppress Summer every now and then so that Summer knows that she has lost to him before, and she will not dare to fight him in the future."In the end, Joe was so ambitious! He wanted to let Summer fulfill the bet and become his girlfriend!What a surprise!"Perhaps, Joe is taking advantage of this bet to do something he wants to do but has been too late?"At the beginning of a relationship, both parties were testing each other.No one dared to take that step before confirming the other party's intentions.Fear of failure, fear of rejection.They were afraid the other party did not like them.So, just do not talk about love, do not show love, pretend that they do not like it at all, and have no emotion.In fact, being so cautious because they were afraid that the two of them would not even be able to be friends.

Shawn took it.Confidential documents that needed his signature?How could he not know about this?Was it because he did not go to the company, or did some new project get planned?After opening it, he only glanced at it, and the corner of Shawn's mouth twitched.He finally understood. There was no need for him to sign... It was Joe's excuse!This guy just wanted to come in front of him and Galey to show off that Summer has become a girlfriend!So stupid!So childish!However, Shawn did not expose him either.After so many years, Joe and Summer have finally made some progress, so it could not be ruined.Shawn took out a pen from his pocket and signed his name in a swish. "There."Joe looked at him.They were all brothers, and they supported each other."So sloppy? Mr. Wood, don't you carefully read the terms inside?" Summer was taken aback.Shawn turned on his lying face. "Fiona checked the terms long ago, and Joe also confirmed it a second time. I can rest assured that

There was a sound of a child's footsteps at the top of the stairs, followed by Nicole's voice. "Daddy! You're back!"Nicole went downstairs very cheerfully. "Daddy, why didn't you come home last night? I've been waiting for you because I wanted to say good night to you, but I fell asleep while waiting…"Her words stopped abruptly when she saw Gale.Nicole looked at Gale intently, without blinking, and a strange yet familiar expression came over her."Nicole..."Gale wanted to ask her what was wrong.It was just that Gale already knew why Nicole looked at her like this and stopped short of asking!It was because she did not have makeup on!She looked like the mistress now!Oops!Gale panicked and wanted to cover her face, but it was too late.Nicole had seen her!She could see it clearly in her expression!Gale immediately turned her back!Shawn reacted quickly, took a big step, and stepped forward to block her from behind."Nicole, Daddy was busy last night and didn't co

Nicole took a quick step back, avoiding his hand.She did not want Daddy to hug her.Nicole's expression, demeanor, and movements at this moment greatly resembled Gale's.They were exactly the same.The same was true for Gale. After she found out that Shawn had done something that made her sad, she would not make a scene. She would only debate and reason calmly.Nicole was a spitting image of her!"I won't listen. You must be lying to me. I've seen it all. It's useless for you to explain. I believe what I see with my own eyes!" Nicole said.Shawn could not convince her otherwise.It was hopeless!Originally, he thought that in the whole world, he could only not have any defenses against Gale, but in fact, now there was also Nicole.Both daughter and wife deserve to be pampered and coaxed!"Daddy, did you deliberately send Mummy away so that you can stay with this mistress of yours?""No. Nicole, no," Shawn said.He and Nicole looked at each other with sincerity in their ey

Every word pierced Gale's heart.She still did not speak, just looked at Nicole quietly, with melancholy.Gale was afraid that tears would fall uncontrollably when she opened his mouth.She was even more afraid that she would say something that hurt Nicole when she was in a foul mood.Gale kept telling herself that Nicole was not sober now and that she did not know that she was her mother.'So, don't take these words to heart, let alone care about them!' she thought.She had to think about it from another angle. Nicole was protecting Mommy and the relationship between Daddy and Mommy!Gale took deep breaths, suppressing her sad emotions."Nicole! Don't speak anymore! Apologize to her quickly!" Shawn's voice rose even higher.Nicole also raised her voice. "Daddy, you defend her so much. Are you worthy of Mommy?"In her world, she thought Daddy belonged to her Mommy.Other women could not get close to Daddy!However, this mistress, who appeared in front of Daddy again and aga

"Tonight, I'll ask her to call you. Okay?" Shawn said."Okay.""Good girl.""However, Daddy. You are not allowed to meet your mistress! She can't destroy your relationship with Mommy!" Nicole was still firm in his position.Shawn still replied calmly, "Nicole, she didn't destroy anything, and she is not a bad woman.""I won't listen! I don't believe it either! You must have been bewitched by her! Hmph, vixen!" Nicole said.After finishing speaking, she began to push Gale again. "Go, go, don't show up at my house. Daddy, if you are not willing to drive her away, I will drive her away! Mommy is not here. I will get rid of the bad woman for her!"Nicole put all her strength into her body and insisted on driving Gale out of the house!Gale bit her lips, holding back her sobs. "Okay, I'll go. I'll go now. Nicole, you don't need to push me. I can leave by myself.""Are you really leaving this time? Will you continue to stay with Daddy in a place where I can't see?"Gale shook her h

Nicole grabbed his sleeve. "Daddy, you have to make a choice.""Choice?""Yes! If you want your mistress, you will lose me and Mommy. If you want me and Mommy, you must lose your mistress! You... choose!" Nicole cried so hard that she was about to lose her breath.She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and the tears flowed more. Her whole face was wet."Nicole, of course, I want you and your mommy," Shawn said.These two people are his whole world.More important than himself!"Then why are you with your mistress?" Nicole asked.Shawn could not answer.Nicole suddenly thought of something, and she opened her mouth half-opened in astonishment. "Is it... Daddy, you don't want Mommy, but you want me... so you sent Mommy away on purpose?""Nicole! No, don't think wildly!" Shawn immediately denied."But Mommy never goes without calling me for so long!""I said that… "Nicole was also quite smart and interrupted Shawn, "I'm going to call Mommy right now. Daddy, give me your phone

First appease Nicole, and then think of countermeasures!Shawn thought so too!However, they all underestimated Nicole.Although Nicole was a girl, cute and well-behaved, not as naughty as Joshua, she was also really smart!She was not that easy to fool!"Why did you help me find my mommy? How do you know where my mommy is on vacation? Mommy hates you so much. It's impossible for her to have any contact with you!" Nicole asked back.Gale could not answer for a while.She hesitated for a long time. "I know where. I heard it from Shawn. He told me.""Is that so, Daddy? Are you sharing Mommy's itinerary with her?"Shawn had no choice but to nod.Nicole's expression immediately changed. "You teamed up to drive Mommy away, lied to me that she was going on vacation, and then the two of you secretly got together behind my back...""I just thought to myself why Daddy has become very busy during this time. It turns out that he's just been with you!"After thinking about it, Nicole w

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
