"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

What else did he want?Gale glanced at him furtively and then at his thin lips.In the end, Shawn called her out. "What are you looking at?""Ah? I wasn't looking at anything."Shawn slowly leaned over.He did not speak. He just approached gradually, listening to Gale's breathing change from calm to disordered.They were a centimeter from each other!So close that it made her nervous.Gale gulped and said, "I won't sacrifice my body to apologize.""I didn't think so.""Huh?"Shawn replied, "I'd rather be respectful than obedient."She panicked and put her hands on his chest. "Shawn, you...""It seems that you really want me in your heart, Galey."Gale did not dare to move. Her heart was beating fast.She even thought if Shawn wanted to kiss, he should just get it over with so she could get back to work in the jewelry department!However, Shawn just remained motionless, leaning close to her.Could it be he wanted her to take the initiative?After thinking about it, Gal

Gale was like a helpless cat, clinging to his shoulders. "Shawn, we haven't reached the point where we can... um...."She fell silent.Gale even breathed lightly!"Gale, we are married.""I know...""Are you unable to accept it psychologically or physically?"Gale bit her lip, buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "I said I don't want to be here.""Is it because of where we are now?"She thought about it and nodded.She just did not want to do it in the office.Maybe she would not resist if she was in Temperley Hall then.It was not only Shawn who wanted it. She had wanted it too.What was more, her feelings for him had always been there.It was just that she had not said it for a long, long time.Shawn suddenly smiled.Gale was so ashamed that she buried herself in his arms, not daring to raise her head.He kept laughing, his chest trembling slightly."You're still laughing. You did it on purpose." She hit his chest."Galey, oh my Galey."Shawn h

"We are here to gossip. Gale, you're back from Mr. Wood's office. How are you feeling?"Summer asked, "Did you lose your body?""It's okay, just tell us about it. We are the ones who suggested it anyway," Summer said in a low voice.Gale held her forehead.What kind of bad friends are they? "Nothing happened between Shawn and me. This is a company, and it's still office hours. What are you guys thinking about?""Yo, are you getting serious with me now? Peach, do you believe that she and Mr. Wood did nothing?" Summer winked.Peach shook her head vigorously."Every time he looks at you, it looks like a big bad wolf who saw a rabbit, and he can't wait to swallow it. How can he control himself if you flirt with him?""That's right," Peach agreed."We are all adults here. Just tell us!"Gale reiterated again, "Can you get rid of your dirty thoughts? Nothing really happened!"Although, something almost happened. If she had said yes, Shawn would really turn into a big bad wolf.

That meal would cost a bomb.Gale felt distressed. "You guys are the real killers!""Mrs. Wood, are you short of money?"Summer raised her eyebrows. "As long as you ask, Shawn will transfer as much money as you want to you. You will be a rich woman worth tens of billions!"Gale still felt distressed. "Then he will kill me after he transfers the money, okay?"Peach and Summer refused in unison, "No!""Don't panic, Gale. With your paparazzi photos and raking in the sales, you will definitely be able to get at least a 6 figure bonus at the end of the year.""That's right! It's settled!"Gale nodded. "Alright, alright."After work, Gale went to eat Japanese food with them.When the girls hang together, there is always endless gossip.Gale's phone rang several times, but she paid no attention to it.When she finished eating, she called the waiter over. "May I have the bill, please?"The waiter said, "The total is two thousand dollars. However, the bill has already been paid."

The pink sports car stopped in front of the two of them.The windows were lowered.It was Joe! "Hi, I wonder if I have the honor to send the beautiful Ms. Summer home?" Summer replied, "It's actually you?"Gale was so happy that she could not stop giggling."What are you laughing at? Is it that surprising to see me here?" Joe asked."She called you a girl.""Bah! I'm so masculine!" Joe said.Gale pointed at Summer. "She said it, not me.""You called me a girl?"Summer also had an indescribable expression. "Why do you drive such a girly car? Don't you have any other cars in your garage?"Joe did not answer but asked her, "Do you like this color?""It's okay, but if you are the one driving it...""I can do as you like. Get in the car. I'll take you home." Then, Joe honked the horn.He thought that girls like pink.Although Summer was bluffing, she was still a woman, after all.He bought this car for her!Seeing Summer standing still, he repeated, "Did you forget that yo

He was picking a bone with her!They are her closest friends. However, Gale still replied very kindly, "I'm not drunk. Next time, I just won't drink."She did not quite understand why Shawn seemed to be angry again.What was the matter with this man?Did he want to be angry eight hundred times a day?Did he still want her to coax him? What was the matter? Did he like the way she coaxed him?Was he addicted to it?"Mommy, Daddy has been waiting for you here for a long time," Nicole said."I didn't make him wait… He can go home by himself."Nicole pointed to the phone. "Dad called you and sent you a message, but you didn't respond, and he called more than once."Only then did Gale remember to look at her phone.Indeed, it was full of Shawn's missed calls and unread messages."Well, I can explain it! My phone is on silent, so I can't hear it ring. I put it next to the seat when I was eating, so..." Gale said hastily.She turned on the screen for him to see. "Not only yours,

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
