"I was also a little touched by Aurum at the time. I was very surprised that he could make such a promise at such a young age."Gale flattened her mouth and muttered in a low voice, "Then...you agreed to this marriage?"That was too hasty.How could kids know so much at such a young age?She guessed that Aurum himself did not remember this matter.At that time, Aurum was not only young, but he was just a child!It was not that Gale thought that Aurum was not good and was not worth entrusting, but that such an important decision should not be made when two people are ignorant and do not understand what love is.What if she met someone she liked more in the future? What would Aurum do?What if Aurum met someone he liked more? What should she do?Mary was suddenly happy and kept laughing."Gale, I didn't agree to this marriage. It was you who agreed to it!"Gale was stunned.Ah?Did she do it herself?Shawn's face was already gloomy, and he was trying his best to restrain hi

Aurum and Gale were unlikely to end up together.Natalie was the one who stayed by Aurum's side all the time and took care of all his home affairs.So, if Natalie could take a step back and look at the bigger picture, she would still be with Aurum.She wanted to hold on to Aurum so much, not knowing that the tighter she held on, the faster she would lose it!If Natalie were smarter, maybe Aurum would come back to her in the end!"Forget it. Let's not talk about it." Finally, Mary stopped talking."Why are you optimistic about Aurum and Natalie?""Well, the two of them have been together for so many years, and there is always a foundation of affection. Moreover, you and Gale had children and careers. People, they are all moving forward. How can we turn back?"Aurum and Gale were destined for each other.However, they missed it.Even if Aurum has been sticking to it, after more than twenty years of vicissitudes, he could not go back to the beginning."Mary, you got a point.

Shawn, who owns dozens of luxury cars and a full-time driver, actually took a taxi?He had planned to return in her car!Gale held the steering wheel. "Fasten your seat belt. I'm about to hit the road. Should you grab the handrail?""No, trust your driving skills."Gale was not used to driving.Shawn sat in the co-pilot leisurely and comfortably, with his arms crossed.He suddenly said, "You called Aurum your brother?"Gale was so scared that she almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake!"I...I didn't say it! Mary said it," she quickly explained."That came from you too, she relayed it."Gale smiled. "I'm so young, so it's normal to call male friends my brother. Should I have called him by his full name? Look, Nicole is now calling Joshua... brother Joshua."Shawn said quietly, "You never called me brother."Called him brother?What kind of fetish was this?Do all men like being an older brother so much?"You are my husband. It would be so weird calling you

Fortunately, Aurum did not ask much.Aurum also knew the person in her heart had always been Shawn.Always.Gale would definitely not admit in front of Shawn that the person she loved had always been him, Shawn!If he heard it, he would be gloating!"Whether you deserve it or not... Rather than this, why not think about whether you want to take Joshua and Nicole out to play when you are free in the afternoon? Nicole had a fight with you, and your father-daughter relationship should be repaired," Gale said."She is playing with Joshua. Would she even think of her father?""She and Joshua are just like you and Aurum in the past. They are inseparable as childhood sweethearts. However, if Nicole dares to say that she wants to marry Joshua, I will break his legs!" Shawn said in a deep voice.Gale complained, "What did Joshua do, though?""I would really break his legs because I can't break Nicole's legs."This cruel old father."Really?"Joshua would want to cry when he heard th

She shook her head."And the people who can enter the charity dinner that night must have been noble. This narrows the scope of suspects, who can only be insiders.""Then, Heather is just a mistress. She is not qualified to attend, but you doubt her?" Gale asked."She just can't accompany Matthew to attend this banquet. However, she can ask him to help her get an invitation letter and sneak in."Only then had Gale understood Shawn's logic.She smiled. "Why are you so smart? As soon as you heard what happened, you immediately analyzed it."She still needed him to explain in detail one by one before she could understand.Was this the difference in IQ?Fortunately, Nicole and Joshua took after him. They were very smart and quick-witted."The children are like you. They don't have much of my genes," Gale said.It made her seem so unimportant.The children did not inherit her genes at all. "IQ is up to me, and EQ is up to you. Nicole has inherited the strengths of both of us,"

The sharp voice made Shawn subconsciously move Gale behind him immediately!At the same time, he stepped forward and scanned the surrounding situation.However…He was overthinking.He saw Joshua pointing at him with a water gun, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth. "Raise your hands and surrender!"Shawn was stunned.He thought that while he was away, someone ambushed his home, waiting for him to return.As a result, it was Joshua playing with a water gun!Gale was also confused by Shawn's actions. "What's wrong?"She was walking but was suddenly swept back by his arm forcefully.She stumbled and almost fell!Gale did not react. "What's there to be nervous about?""It's nothing." Shawn withdrew his hand and pursed his lips."Big Beauty!" Joshua still held the water gun high. "Don't worry, I will rescue you from the big villain!"He was like the leading actor in a spy movie, brave and fearless.The water gun was pointed at Shawn the whole time without mov

"Okay, okay. You and Nicole, go take a shower and change clothes. We are almost ready to eat," she said.Only then did Joshua drop the water gun.The servants led the two of them to the bathroom."Bathe them separately. Men and women are different," Shawn urged.The servant replied blankly, "Mr. Wood, of course, they have to bathe separately."That was common sense!He just waved his hand.The housekeeper cautiously came over. "Mr. Wood, I will ask someone to clean it up. Ms. Nicole had a great time, so I don't have the heart to dissuade her, so I will just let them be."Shawn's face was deeply darkened, and he did not want to say a word.What can be done?Why did Nicole like this naughty activity?Gale walked to him and said with a smile, "Go and change your clothes too. This shirt is ruined.""You're teasing me?""No, no, absolutely not!"Shawn looked down at the paint on his clothes.He was a clean freak!The fact that Joshua had not been thrown out meant he had alre

"You can call Aurum, but you can't..."Gale quickly interrupted him, "Okay, stop! Stop talking!"She did not want to hear it anymore.Having to coax her husband coquettishly, Gale has exhausted the remnants of her dignity, having to call him her brother…"Do you want to change out of your shirt! If you are angry, just be angry, I am too lazy to coax you! Just stay angry!" Gale said.She turned around and was about to leave when Shawn gently pulled her into his arms.His big hands clasped her waist."Galey…"Gale leaned quietly in his arms, neither resisting nor making a sound."I just want special treatment. You are my wife. Before the divorce, you still belong to me. I still possess you," Shawn said.Although Shawn was already suppressing himself, he could not completely contain his feelings."I'm jealous of Aurum," Shawn admitted.Gale sighed."The things Mary said were from twenty years ago. I was only a few years old at that time, and I have no memory of it. Why do you

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
