Gale leaned over and pressed Aurum's head on her shoulder. "Let me help. I'll be with you!"Sure enough, Shawn's face darkened rapidly.Gale pretended not to see it and continued talking to Aurum, speaking softly, "You save Natalie, and she doesn't appreciate it. Why continue?""You've done so much, but you can't get her to turn around. Aurum, you've done your best.""Anyway, even if you have other intentions, you did get the antidote. I owe you another favor...""Now, I can't just sit and watch you suffer."Gale wiped away the blood from the corner of Aurum's mouth little by little.Gentle and careful.Shawn stood by, feeling completely ignored."Gale!""Will you give him the antidote? It's been another ten minutes. You want to punish Aurum for giving Natalie the antidote just now. This long time is enough for you to calm down," she asked."It has only been ten minutes.""Every second is a torment."Shawn stared at her deeply, "You are suffering more than him.""I don't

"Take it easy… That's a person, a living person, not a dead body." He dragged and tugged so casually that Gale was terrified."He won't die."Gale looked sideways at Shawn's angular profile.That jealous man…She wanted to explain that she did not love Aurum.She lied because she was angry at him.However, when the words were at the tip of her lips, Gale felt that now was not the best time to explain."Shawn, we need to thank Aurum. Without him intentionally eating..." Gale said.However, Shawn interrupted her. "Galey, can you accept Aurum's special feelings for Natalie?"It was said it was not love.However, it was love.Friendship accumulated month by month.As long as Natalie was alive, Aurum would take good care of Natalie for the rest of his life!He could not let Natalie go. He would always leave a small place in his heart for Natalie!Aurum was such a person.Passionate, gentle, considerate.Shawn thought deeply, 'Is Gale going to accept that?'"I can," Gale rep

Gale looked back at Aurum. "But he...""I said, he can't die!""Oh, I won't leave. I want to stay and take care of Aurum. He just had an attack and took the antidote. How can we leave him here?" Gale struggled.The more she struggled, the tighter Shawn gripped."Don't you want to go home and take a good look at Nicole?"Gale nodded. "Of course, I thought about it, but Nicole is already asleep at this point, I need to be here…""Someone will take care of him!""Where is anyone? I haven't seen anyone for a long time. They are all your subordinates."Gale turned her head and insisted on going back.However, her strength was no match for Shawn.He directly picked her up, threw her on the co-pilot seat, pulled the seat belt over with quick hands, and buckled it firmly."Shawn! Leaving Aurum alone like this is really dangerous!" Gale said.He slammed the door shut and got into the driver seat.The car moved and left quickly.Gale was still looking back.At a distance, she saw

Shawn gulped.If she continued, he would not be able to control himself."After waiting for so long and trying everything, Nicole finally returns to us. What a happy thing this is. Just smile," Gale said.Shawn lowered his head suddenly and kissed her lips deeply!Gale did not even realize it.His lips tasted of him.A faint tobacco taste.She blinked her eyes and slightly parted her red lips, wanting to respond, but Shawn suddenly backed away from her lips.Gale was dumbfounded.What was that for?Quick fix?Was he teasing her?Seeing Gale's expression, Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply, in a good mood.However, he did not show it and was as indifferent as before."What? Do you really want me to continue? Do you think it was too short lived?" When the red light turned green, Shawn continued driving."It's... it's not!"Gale's face felt hot, and she hurried back to the co-pilot and sat down.What the hell was he doing?Was it a kiss, or was it not a kiss?What's worse

"The sachets are so good. Carry it with you. It's small and exquisite, and you can use it when you go for lunch breaks. It can also calm your nerves. I'll add a few flavors for you..." She laughed dryly.Shawn interrupted her, "Nothing is as useful as you."Gale started to play dumb and said, "Oh." Then she turned to look out the car window.It was late at night when they got home.There was silence, with only crickets chirping non-stop.Gale went straight to Nicole's bedroom.On her pink princess bed, Nicole was lying on her side, sleeping soundly with the doll in her arms. There were still tear stains on her cheeks."Nicole, my Nicole..."Gale's heart was about to melt.After a lot of hard work, her precious daughter finally returned to normal.From now on, she no longer had to pretend to be ugly or old, and she did not have to be worried that Nicole would dislike her.Gale reached out and tucked the quilt carefully.After going through so much, her view of Shawn changed

"Tonight... you can treat me as a bad guy?"Gale immediately became vigilant. "What do you mean?""If I invite you into the master bedroom, you will definitely refuse. If I forcibly drag you in, you will struggle. Nicole would wake up and guards would come storming in. That would not be the best either. I could only do this," Shawn said.As soon as Gale passed by the master bedroom, he would immediately pull her in!Then, the door would be closed and locked. Just let him do whatever he wanted!"You cheat!" Gale did not expect that he had been waiting here just to drag her into the master bedroom!Shawn admitted openly and frankly, "Yes."What a thick skin!Gale snorted.Her eyes gradually adjusted to the dark master bedroom, and she was able to see a little bit clearly.Shawn's tall figure, the slightly fluttering curtains in the distance, the outline of the bedside lamp..."Why don't you turn on the light?" she said, reaching out to fumble for the switch next to her.Whe

Shawn was very tough.Since returning from Aurum's house, he had behaved a little strangely.When he was in the car, he was angry and ignored her, but now he was unreasonable.Gale thumped Shawn's chest. "You can't force me...you can't!""Is it?""Yes! Do you want me to hate you again? Do you want to lose all the goodwill you have slowly accumulated with me?" Gale replied loudly.Shawn paused."Hate me again? Goodwill? Galey, don't tell me, you already… don't hate me?"Gale did not expect him to be so smart, and he could understand what she was saying.She wanted to deny it but felt it was unnecessary.She thought admitting it would make him proud again!So…Gale had an idea and said, "If you let me out tonight, I won't hate you. Otherwise, I will hate you even more and even dislike you!""Very well. I will."Gale was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief. "Is it true?""Yes.""Are you sure...?" Gale asked."I'm sure," Shawn replied and added, "Anyway, it's just

Shawn definitely noticed it, but he ignored it.He said, "Do you know how to give a massage?"Their lips meet again."Yes. I do." Gale nodded.Shawn nodded. "You can try."He got up and laid on the bed.Gale glanced at the door.How could she run faster than Shawn's long legs!Massage first to buy time!"Where is it numb? Here? Here?" Gale asked, pressing her hands on his leg."No.""Where is it then?"Gale resisted the urge to roll her eyes because she knew Shawn was fine, and the numbness in his legs was an excuse!However, she just continued massaging!She had to comply."Here."Shawn took her hand, slowly moved it up, and finally landed on the base of his thigh.Gale's hands trembled."Here?" she asked again in disbelief."Yes. Massage it," Shawn said.He lay leisurely and contentedly, with his hands behind his head, looking at her with a slight smile.She should not be touching him there!The distance was… extremely dangerous!"What's wrong?

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
