However, he was empty-handed.Gale and Nicole were both stunned, staring at his hands.Did he not go to buy food?Why was there nothing?"Daddy, have you been robbed?" Nicole asked.Gale burst out laughing."Yes, Shawn, what about the food you bought? Was it taken away? Or...you don't know how to buy it at all?" she echoed solemnly.With Shawn's status, such mundane daily tasks were all done by his assistant.He never needed to think and worry.The corners of Shawn's lips twitched. "I bought a lot. You probably can't finish it.""Where?"Shawn turned sideways and looked toward the door. "Come in."Both Gale and Nicole stared at the door curiously to see what Shawn had bought back!They saw waiters walking in one after another.Everyone held a dish in their hands.Delicate, fragrant, just looking at it would make people salivate!After a while, the small hospital room was full of people.Gale roughly counted. There were at least twenty waiters! In other words, Shawn bou

The table was full of dishes, but Shawn did not eat much. He was either feeding Nicole or serving Gale.He was enjoying it.Gale's bowl was piled sky high, and she could not finish it at all.He took another bowl and continued to pile food on her plate. "This fish is really fresh. Boneless too.""Shrimp is very tender.""You should also eat some vegetables and get on a balanced diet."Gale could not help but say, "Enough. I can't eat so much.""You don't have to finish eating. Just try a little bit of each."After feeding Gale, he started feeding Nicole again.Nicole was very aggrieved. "Daddy, why did you give so much meat for Mommy but only vegetables for me?""You have meat, too.""But there are more vegetables. Mommy's has more meat," Nicole pointed out."If you don't eat your vegetables, you won't grow tall," Shawn replied. Nicole was even more upset to hear that.Although he was clumsy and not as considerate as Mommy, this was the first time Daddy had taken care of

That was the little princess of the Wood family, the only grandchild of the Wood family! The Wood family did not make it public because they did not want to intrude on the privacy of the little princess!The paparazzi was immersed in his get-rich dreams and walked away holding the camera.In Temperley Hall, the housekeeper stood beside the car respectfully.However, when he saw Mr. Wood carrying Nicole and Gale following behind, appearing as her normal self, he was very surprised.She did not wear ugly makeup today?Ms. Nicole did not cry?What a surprise!"Housekeeper, why are you staring at Mommy all funny? There's nothing on Mommy!" Nicole asked.She checked again carefully."No...it's nothing," the housekeeper denied and lowered his head.Gale smiled at the housekeeper.She could accompany Nicole today as before, as a mother.This should have been a very normal thing, but it seemed so precious to Gale.She hoped time would pass slower.Yet, it was now time for bed."

Aurum had no reason to give so much of himself for her.Shawn did not speak.What can he say? It was wrong to say anything, and it was better to be silent.If he were Aurum, he would do the same.Firstly, it could save Nicole; secondly, if not, it could give Natalie hope in life.However, Shawn could not decide on this matter."It's getting late. You've been busy all day. Go to bed early." Shawn touched her waist, gently pushing. "We'll talk about it tomorrow.""Tomorrow… Will Nicole remember me, or will she return to how she was before?""Play by ear."Gale nodded. "Then, good night."She walked toward the guest bedroom, and her figure disappeared from Shawn's sight.Shawn walked into the master bedroom sadly.They were obviously husband and wife, but they had different rooms and beds!Gale was about to take a shower when the phone rang.When she saw it, it was Aurum calling.She picked up."Gale, Shawn should have told you about getting the antidote from Natalie's han

It was not until midnight that she fell asleep.Gale had a dream.In the dream, she sat under a parasol, watching Joshua and Nicole playing.Shawn was on the phone, dealing with work.He raised his eyes to look at the children occasionally, held her hand with one hand, and stroked it carefully.Gale leaned over, stretched out her hand, and slid her fingers down his throat cheekily.Then she blew into his ear again.Shawn's voice gradually became hoarse and deep. While talking on the phone, he squeezed the back of her hand.He quickly ended the call and threw the phone aside. He then grabbed her waist and hugged her, bringing her to his lap."Playing with fire?" he asked.Gale shook her head coyly. "No.""Gale, don't you know you can't touch my throat casually?"Shawn's lips were about to be pressed down on hers.She quickly stopped. "Wait. The children are still there… How embarrassing.""It's normal for Daddy to kiss Mummy."Gale smiled and avoided his kiss. "Don't caus

The more Summer talked, the more excited she became. "Look at the comments. The comments from netizens are all so funny!"The headline was impressively written, 'The little princess of the Wood family showed up at the hospital, accompanied by Mr. Wood and his wife, and the family of three shared a framed photo for the first time!'Gale took a closer look.Are these not photos of when Nicole was discharged from the hospital yesterday?Was it actually photographed and posted online?!In the photo, Shawn was holding Nicole with one hand, wearing sunglasses, looking very aloof and cool.Nicole lay on his shoulders.Gale followed behind.There was a picture of Shawn turning his head sideways, with his other free hand stretched out toward her.She just raised her hand to catch it.For Gale, this was a normal thing.Shawn often did it.He likes to hold her and hug her."I see. What's wrong? Is there anything strange? These photos... are normal. Is there anything worthy to make it

"Uh... no, nothing." She shook her head."Are you sure you're okay?"Shawn reached out to touch her forehead.Gale immediately avoided him. "I'm really fine… Maybe, maybe the weather is too hot."She could not stop thinking about her dream!Moreover, she could not help but take a look at Shawn's throat!What the hell was going on!Gale bypassed him, walked quickly to the coffee table, picked up the water, and took a big sip.She wanted to disguise her embarrassment. "Gale, that's my water," Shawn reminded.She almost choked.What?Gale took a look, and it was really his cup!Why did she panic like this? She even took the wrong cup!Shawn could see that something was wrong with her, but he did not know why she acted like this.Gale coughed and changed the subject, "You got up so early today.""I got woken up by Fiona's phone call.""I was also woken up by Summer's phone call. Did you see the news?" she replied."Yes. I just asked the PR department to deal with it. Tho

The photos made people realize Mr. Wood also had a domestic side!What kind of woman could tie him down?She looked like a gentlewoman with a petite figure, fair skin, and long, smooth black hair. She gave birth to a daughter who was as cute as a doll.In the photo, Nicole only showed the side of her face, but one could tell she was cute.With such a handsome father and beautiful mother, the daughter born must be beautiful!Good genes!The phone rang again.She looked at the caller ID. "Joe? Why did he call me?""Pick up."Gale answered and turned on the speakerphone. "Fortunately, I got through, where is Shawn? He disappeared?" Joe asked directly."He's here, right next to me.""Then why didn't he answer the phone?"Gale looked at the mobile phone lying quietly on the sofa. "He... doesn't have his phone with him."Joe said, "Did you see the news on the Internet?""Yeah.""Hurry up and tell Shawn not to take down the news, tell the public relations department to stop,

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
