Gale stepped on it and said, "Don't eat it! Don't eat it! It's not a good thing. How can you take it casually? Aurum, this method will not work! I don't agree!"She looked at Shawn again. "How can you give it to him? This medicine has always been in your hands! No one else has it!"Shawn met her gaze.Instead of explaining, he asked, "Gale, are you blaming me?""I… I'm asking you, why did you give the medicine to Aurum!"Oh, she was questioning him.At this moment, Shawn's heart also turned cold.Aurum was so important to her.Seeing her anxious and self-blame made him jealous and extremely chilling.He felt cold to the bone!Shawn replied, "Yes, I gave it to him. Not only did I give it to him, you came a step late. Aurum had already taken the poison. Just a minute before you opened the door, I watched him take it."Gale was startled.It had already been eaten!She looked at the crushed powder on the bottom of her feet. "Then...then what is this?""Vitamin tablets."Gale

"You shouldn't have taken it out!"Knowing that Aurum wanted to eat it wholeheartedly and wanted to use Natalie's love to plot a scheme in exchange for the antidote in Natalie's hands, how could Shawn take it out so that Aurum could have a chance to eat it?Shawn still did not explain and even added fuel to the fire, "Gale, you are right, yes, I shouldn't have taken it out!"Seeing how the two communicated, Aurum shook his head repeatedly.The misunderstanding can be cleared up by explaining it well. If they insist on being so awkward, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper!One was too stubborn to listen, and the other was unwilling to explain!Aurum suddenly understood why Shawn and Gale, who obviously love each other, could not accept each other.Love was chemistry. But more, it was understanding!"You really misunderstood, Gale. It's actually me... " Aurum said.However, Shawn interrupted him forcefully. "You don't need to explain, her logic is correct. The medici

Gale did not quite understand. "What?"Aurum pointed to the powdered pills under his feet and said, "Obviously, I've already taken the real poison."Gale understood what had happened after thinking about what Aurum had said."So the pill was yours?" she asked. "I lied to Shawn because he wouldn't give me the poison by saying I found my own poison. Then I would lie to Natalie that it was a new poison that Shawn gave me. He had no choice but to give me the real poison," Aurum replied.So that was the truth. Gale guessed that it was impossible for Shawn to give the poison to Aurum so quickly. However, the situation was too urgent, and she only cared about Aurum's health.Therefore, she misunderstood him again.If Shawn wanted Aurum to take it, he would have already given it to him in the hospital, not today."Gale, don't blame him. I did it voluntarily. If you don't let me do this, you will leave me with regrets for not helping you," Aurum said.Afterward, he smiled softly. "I

Gale regained her courage and said, "Shawn, it's my fault. I was too impatient, lost control of my emotions for a while, and ignored your feelings...""Sorry, I was wrong.""Please forgive me, don't be angry."The more Gale spoke, the softer her voice became.It was because Shawn was still not responding to her.He was still looking at the file!It must be an interesting file!After Gale said so much, Shawn still ignored her.What could she do?She did something wrong. She misunderstood him!She decided to come back when he cooled down.Gale simply turned and sat on the sofa in the reception area.Shawn raised his eye, took a quick look at her, and immediately looked away.He was afraid she would find out.Interestingly, she did not just slam the door and walk out like she would have before.There was progress!Shawn understood that if Gale left, it would take longer to resolve the misunderstanding.However, she stayed, and it seemed she was planning to settle it thoro

It turned out that Summer had consulted the people around her, and they had suggested that she flirt!Summer replied, [Don't worry, I just said it was a friend of mine.]However, who in the entire Wood Group would not know that Summer's friend was Gale?Summer continued, [Come on! You can only keep trying!][That is the only way.]Summer sent another smirk emoji. [I understand if you can't return to the jewelry department today. After all, flirting might lead to some side effects.]Side effects?Gale thought about it for a while and suddenly understood what she meant.Her face flushed instantly!Flirting might lead to…He could not help kissing her in the living room that morning.There was no one else in Shawn's private office. It was like an executive suite, with a cloakroom, restroom, and tea room!Gale quickly turned off the phone and shook off the thoughts that should not have been in her mind.Flirting?Gale took several deep breaths repeatedly to cheer herself up a

However, his face was dark when he said it!"Then just smile. Smile, so I can be sure you are not angry," Gale said.Of course, Shawn could not smile.He did not even move his lips!Gale pouted and said, "Hey, you're lying to me."Shawn did not even look at her. "I have work to do. If you have nothing more to say, you can leave now."Gale froze for a moment.Had she misheard? Was Shawn chasing her away?This was the first time it had happened!In the past, she was always eager to leave quickly, and Shawn wanted to keep her. She would just slam the door and leave, but this time Shawn actually requested her to leave!It seemed that he was still very angry!Gale's enthusiasm suddenly rose.She refused to believe she was not able to coax Shawn!He will forgive her!The more difficult things were, the more she wanted to do them.Gale said, "I don't want to leave, and you can't drive me away."She took the document away from Shawn's hand before wrapping her arms around his ne

"I can't be angry when you have done something wrong? You are even threatening me," Shawn asked.Gale felt even more guilty for what she said!Yes, she made a mistake. It was not right for her to be so arrogant.Gale immediately softened her tone and said, "I'm admitting my mistake. I've said as much, but you ignore me, so I feel sad…"She started acting like a baby.She did not even notice how naturally it came to her.Even Gale's voice became coquettish.Shawn asked, "Are you also sad?"His hand slowly moved up and landed on her heart, and he poked his fingers at her chest. "Galey, I didn't know you would get sad."Gale nodded and said, "Of course I will. I'm a human, not a log."Shawn sighed deeply. "I thought I was the only one who would get sad. When you yelled at me in front of Aurum and misunderstood me..."That moment really hurt.He said nothing during the whole ordeal.Fortunately, Aurum explained what happened to avoid further misunderstanding.After this incid

"Yes, because I know that even if you are angry and ignore me, you will still choose to forgive me eventually. There will be no hate between us."She smiled and hooked his neck again. "Because we are married, right?"Shawn stared deeply into her eyes as if he wanted to peer into her soul.Gale's nose touched his. "This time, it's a small matter, and I promise I won't do it again next time. I will restrain my bad temper."He sighed.Gale stroked Shawn's hands again. "I know you will tolerate my bad temper because you love me.""You can rely on it, and I favor you!"Shawn's love was very rare.His favor was never given lightly, and Gale had it.Gale nodded and admitted, "That's right. I can't leave you completely..."The more she spoke, the lower her voice was. "Actually, we have experienced so much between us. We deeply understand each other, and we know what the other party will and will not do. Today's incident is a part of it.""Okay, Shawn, don't be angry with me, okay? I

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
