"Shawn, you better give me an explanation!" Gale stuttered.He opened his eyes slowly.He smirked."An explanation? Galey, you should ask yourself that," he asked."Me?""Yes. Last night..." Shawn sighed.He had a very troubled expression.Gale looked at him with wide eyes. "What happened last night?""You don't remember what you did to me?"Gale shook her head. "I don't remember!"Shawn sighed again. "Forget it. Since you don't remember, then don't bring it up. Let the past go. It doesn't matter if I suffer a little."Gale thought hard.What?Could it be that she raped Shawn?That was impossible!It was absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing!Just as she was racking her brains, Shawn patted her on the head. "In the future, don't drink so much. You lose your senses."After a pause, Shawn added, "You said you only drank a little bit, Galey. You are dishonest."However, she really did not drink that much!Definitely not to the point of getting drunk!Not to

Knock, Knock.They heard the door knock.Immediately afterward, Nicole could be heard scratching at the door. "Mommy and Daddy, open the door quickly!"It was Nicole!"You guys are ignoring me! I'm angry. I was clearly promised that I would be able to sleep with you. When I woke up, I was in my room again!" Nicole said."You tricked me! I hate it!"Gale bit her lip, wishing she could shrink to the corner of the bed!Shawn got out of bed and walked toward the door while getting dressed."Here we come."Taking advantage of this moment, Gale stretched out a hand from under the quilt. She picked up the clothes on the ground and quickly put them on!The door creaked open.Nicole was wearing her pajamas, hugging her doll. She looked up at Shawn.She pouted. "Daddy, did you carry me back to the room because you want to sleep alone with Mommy!""It's not me," Shawn replied.Nicole was suddenly confused. "Then, did I walk back by myself? Impossible."She thought about it but coul

She tried to argue, "It was not my idea! You could have pushed me away.""I can't push you away. You were like a pendant hanging on me."Gale said, "You could have knocked me out or woke me up with a basin of cold water. You could have done that, but you didn't do anything!""Galey, why would I be willing to treat you so roughly?"She was speechless.The more Gale thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her feet and left.Shawn smiled as she threw a tantrum.Teasing her would be fun.He would not explain himself and let her continue to misunderstand.In fact, it was Shawn who carried Nicole back to her bedroom last night.Then, they cuddled a little but did not go all the way.Shawn initially wanted to, but at the last moment, he stopped.Shawn did not want Gale to wake up from her sleep and blame him. He did not want to force her!In the dining hall, Gale texted Summer and Peach.[How are you guys? How's the hangover?] she asked.Peach replied, [Hangover?

The bodyguard was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Wood, are you letting Mr. Lefting take Natalie away from the hospital? Are you going to let her go free?""Only Aurum is allowed to take her away, and none of you should stop her. Also, send someone to follow her secretly and observe. No one else is allowed to interact with Natalie!" Shawn ordered."Yes, Mr. Wood!"The bodyguard left with that order.Gale looked at him sideways. "Shawn, you are letting Aurum stay with Natalie?"Shawn replied, "Yes. Aurum took the poison. He should start showing symptoms tonight." "He came up with that plan, so I naturally have to cooperate with him to make his lie more convincing."Natalie must be wondering why Aurum was able to take her away from the ward.Aurum could say that because he force-fed the same poison as her. Shawn knew that the two of them could not escape from the palm of his hand, so he no longer needed to imprison them.Anyway, they could not escape him.How perfect th

Matthew hurriedly ran toward them. He almost fell because he ran too fast, but fortunately, he managed to catch himself before he fell.At his age, a fall could be detrimental.Gale just stood there quietly, without any intention of stepping forward to help.She already had no affection at all for her 'biological father'.It was because Matthew only had Natalie in his heart.Those things he had done were unforgivable.Although Gale did not know for the time being what Matthew did back then or whether her sudden disappearance had anything to do with him, what was certain was that Matthew cheated and had Natalie, an illegitimate daughter.She was disgusted. Matthew ran up to her, panting, his forehead covered with sweat. "Gale, thank god you are still here. I'm not late. Just let me see Natalie. Well, I had no idea how she was doing lately. Every time I came to look for you, I was stopped. Today I found a chance."Gale looked at him and asked, "Why would I let you see Natalie?

He did not dare to speak too loudly or act out.It was because standing next to Gale was Shawn, the most powerful man in town.Matthew could not afford to offend him!"Everything I say is the truth. You can't expect anyone not to talk about what you have done. You are not a qualified father and husband to Mary and me." "You have been hiding Natalie's real identity from her. Until now, she doesn't know who her biological mother is."Gale stood on the steps, looking down at Matthew from above. "I'm also curious. Who was that mistress who gave birth to Natalie, and you hid all this time!"This woman was also a ruthless character!Having said that, people who are mistresses would not be good people. They have no morals or principles. They can do anything!Matthew was completely silent.Gale snorted coldly. "You don't need to beg me, and you don't need to threaten me with family affection. I will not cave in. I will never admit that Natalie is my sister!"Just thinking about it m

Gale and Mary looked at each other with thousands of emotions in their eyes. However, none of them said anything.After a while, Mary looked away first and sighed."I'm here to deliver something. I got here as soon as I got it." Mary took out a folder.She added, "I haven't opened it yet."Matthew was surprised. "Is it a paternity test?""Yes. The result came out for me and Gale and you and Natalie!"Matthew reached out to grab it, but Shawn was one step faster than him!Shawn took it first and glanced at Matthew with a piercing gaze.Only then did Matthew withdraw his hand resentfully.Gale watched quietly from the side.Although no one knew the actual result of the paternity test, everyone knew what it would say.Shawn quickly opened it and took out the two reports inside.He pursed his lips and read out the result in a calm voice."According to medical identification, the Yarn family and Gale are related by blood and are determined to be immediate relatives.""Accordin

Gale wanted to know as well.Logically speaking, she is the daughter of the Yarn family, surrounded by servants, nannies, and maids. How had she gotten lost?Even back then, the Yarn family offered high rewards to whoever had a lead. If anyone in Sea City saw Gale, they would find a way to contact the Yarn family for the reward and send Gale back!Unless Gale disappeared from Sea City!Matthew could not find Gale, so he took his adopted daughter in? What a coincidence. Could it be someone planned for Gale's disappearance just so Natalie could be adopted?Matthew sighed.He did not want to keep it a secret anymore."Gale's disappearance was really an accident. After she disappeared, we began searching for our daughter, but there was no news. I felt that there was no hope of finding her...""The critical time to find a missing child has passed, and the longer it went, the less likely we can find her. At that time, you were extremely depressed. You couldn't eat anything. You wer

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
