"Because I did something wrong. Gale would rather risk feigning death than stay by my side. So I have no right to be angry.""You actually chose to forgive?"Shawn nodded. "Yes. I don't need to pursue this matter. It's just that you should also know the existence of this matter."Shawn knew how to anger and trigger Natalie!"Natalie, why did Aurum take such a big risk to help Gale? Is it because of friendship? Is it because he sympathizes with her? Or is he trying to fight against me? You are also a smart person. You understand why."Natalie said softly with difficulty, "He loves… Gale.""That's right. Four years ago, he fell in love with her! He already wanted to break off the engagement with you back then!""Aurum loves Gale… Once, he loved the daughter of the Yarn family. The little Gale in his time. Once, he fell in love with Gale, who reunited after many years!" Natalie murmured, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.That was to say, no matter if Gale was Gale or th

In Aurum's heart, he still did not want Natalie to die.No matter what, living was better than dying!"Shawn! Let her go!" Aurum ran over.Shawn let go expressionlessly.Natalie's body fell limply to the ground.She clutched her neck, and coughed loudly. Her face was flushed, and it took several minutes to recover."Drink some water. Please, slow down, don't choke." Aurum squatted beside her, hugging her.Natalie gulped water furiously, and her hands were shaking.Aurum looked at her nervously. "Is it better?"Natalie met his gaze."Ah... Aurum...""It's me.""I know it's you. Why do you still care about me… Am I dreaming? Is this real? Did it happen?" Natalie looked at him infatuatedly.She raised her hand to touch Aurum's face.Aurum did not dodge.Natalie laughed, "Really! It's you!"Aurum sighed, "Natalie, seeing you like this makes me feel bad. Don't be so stubborn anymore. For yourself and for the Yarn family, admit your mistake!""The Yarn family? Hehe, the Yarn

"Well…""It's not even the daughter of the Yarn family that you want to marry. You want to marry the little girl in your memory. And I would have replaced the little girl for the next twenty years," Natalie said."Yes. So even though Gale tempted me, I kept my restraint until I found out she was the one I was looking for all along," Aurum admitted.At that moment, all the emotions came overwhelmingly.How could Aurum resist?A great surprise enveloped him.She is Gale, and she is also the person he has loved since childhood!No one could match her position in his heart!"You love her. You only love her… What am I? Aurum, what am I from the beginning to the end?! Just now, you treated me like that? Why do you take care of me? You should hate me…" Natalie covered her face, heartbroken."Natalie, I have no love for you, but how can I bear to watch you degenerate after all these years together?"Aurum raised his hand, pinched her shoulder, and said emphatically, "Natalie, you can

He gave her the identity of the young mistress of the Lefting family, his care and concern. Just… no love.If Gale had not appeared and the mystery of her life had not been solved, Aurum would have always been kind to Natalie.Unfortunately, there was no if.In addition, Aurum was shocked and heartbroken when Natalie did such a thing, and it was absolutely impossible to forgive her.Therefore, even if Gale was not the missing daughter of the Yarn family, Aurum would never be with Natalie again.He could not accept marrying a cruel and vicious woman!"Wrong. Natalie is not just the adopted daughter of the Yarn family. She is the biological daughter of the Yarn family," Shawn said.Aurum looked at him. "What are you talking about? How could she be a biological daughter?""Two paternity tests have been done, and the results will be available soon.""Two tests? Gale's and Mary's, and who else's?""Natalie's and Matthew's."Aurum's pupils dilated unconsciously.He seemed to unde

His purpose was not to torture Natalie but to get the antidote!In the corridor, there was a deathly silence.Both men pursed their lips tightly, thinking about countermeasures.After a while, Aurum slowly said, "I have a way."Shawn looked at him sideways. "Are you sure it will work?""I'm not sure. But it will definitely be our last and only way. If this trick doesn't work, then nothing or any means can make Natalie compromise," Aurum replied.Natalie did not care about the life and death of the Yarn family.Then, what else could make Natalie afraid and compromise?"Is it Natalie's biological mother? Using her mother's safety to threaten her?" Shawn asked deeply."No. First of all, it will take a certain amount of time for us to find her biological mother, and it will take a lot of trouble. In any case, Natalie hates her mother for not wanting her and sending her to the Yarn family."Made sense.Shawn frowned deeply. "Tell me about your method."Aurum met Shawn's eyes and

"No matter how good the acting is, there will still be flaws. This is already the last resort. If Natalie finds out, then all previous efforts will be for naught!"Shawn still rejected him. "No."One was because of the risk.The second was because he felt that Gale would not agree!He could not just reach an agreement with Aurum in private!"Anyway, you have the antidote. Try it, and there is still a chance of success. If Natalie doesn't take the bait and doesn't care about my life, you can give me the antidote when the time comes," Aurum said.In order to relieve the tension in the atmosphere, Aurum smiled and said deliberately, "You do have the antidote, right?"Shawn certainly has an antidote.However, taking poison was not child's play!"I... will think about it. I can't just give it to you," Shawn replied.Aurum sighed and slowly withdrew his hand. "Okay, but we can't afford to delay. The sooner, the better. I want Nicole to recognize Gale as soon as possible so that the

"Natalie, if you hand over the antidote to save me at that time… Then, no matter what happens next, I will protect you. I will give you a chance to be with me again as my sign of thanks to you," Aurum said out loud to himself.After taking a deep look, Aurum withdrew his gaze and strode away.Shawn also returned to the hospital room.Gale stood by the hospital bed.Hearing footsteps, she raised her head and looked over, "It's you? How is Natalie?""She took the antidote. Aurum came over.""Aurum? Is he here to visit Natalie?" Gale asked."Yeah."Shawn thought deeply and decided to just tell her directly.Let her make up her mind and make a decision.Aurum himself was willing.Shawn was naturally willing.He wanted to save his daughter.It depended on what Gale thought about it!"What's the matter?" Gale asked."No. He suggested a solution..."Shawn had just finished speaking halfway when suddenly, Nicole's voice came from the hospital bed. "Daddy..."He was startled.

Who knew..."Daddy, you're blocking me. Get out of the way," Nicole said."Yeah?"Shawn said so, but he did not move.Nicole waited for a while and then said, "Dad, why do you keep blocking me? I can't even see her."Nicole still found out that Gale was here.How?Would Nicole still cry and make Gale leave and want to see the so-called mommy?Gale also held her breath and moved toward the door little by little.She and Shawn cooperated very well this time."Mommy, I can't see you. Can you come over? Daddy has been blocking you and won't give way," Nicole yelled. Shawn was taken aback.Gale was taken aback for a moment.Surprised expressions flashed across their faces.Nicole called Gale Mommy!Gale could not believe her ears.She froze for a while before finding her voice."Nicole, you… What did you call me?" she asked.Gale stood where she was and forgot to step forward to the hospital bed.Therefore, she and Nicole could not see each other now."Mommy. If I don't

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
