"I'll tell you when the time comes. Wait until I take care of it." Gale raised his head and looked at Shawn's angular jaw. Shawn wanted to ask more but felt it was unnecessary.He was afraid that after hearing this, he would cause trouble for himself.Shawn said lightly, "Yeah.""Do you think I'm cold-blooded for not having any sympathy for Matthew," Gale asked.Shawn praised her, "You did a good job."Gale smiled. "I shouldn't ask you this question because you are the most cold-blooded person.""Only those who are worthy should be treated with warmth. I don't need to please everyone," Shawn said.Gale smiled even more happily."Yes, yes, you only take care of the people you care about.""Actually, you are the only person I care about. I will take care of the rest because of you," Shawn said.Because he loves her, he will love the people she cares about.For example, Mary and Peter.Shawn was nice to these people because of Gale.Otherwise, given his character and status
Shawn held her hand and said, "I allow you to touch it."Gale lay on the pillow again. "No, no. Let's sleep."Who knew if Shawn would pick up on her touching his chin, make up some outrageous excuse, and then take the opportunity to touch her?Shawn also lay down, stretched out his long arms to hold her in his arms, and placed his palms against her belly."Galey, do you still have nightmares?""Probably not. I never thought that Matthew's words would have such a big impact on me," she muttered.She thought she did not care, but she took it to heart.Her biological father scolded her.He also said that she should not have been born and should have been aborted... Was that what a father should say?However, Gale felt that it was a good thing, as she could thoroughly see Matthew's true face and would not be soft-hearted toward him again!"I just hope now that the disappearance of me when I was a child has nothing to do with Matthew. Otherwise, he is really unpardonable. Natalie
The housekeeper did not take it. "Ma'am, I can't. You and Mr. Wood are married. His money is yours and his joint property during marriage. It is natural for you to spend it. If you don't spend it, no one will have it."Gale replied, "I have enough food and clothing at home, I don't need it.""Just accept it. If you really have nothing to buy, just buy some toys and clothes for Ms. Nicole, or add some furniture to the house."After the housekeeper's repeated persuasion, Gale accepted the black card.Shawn once mentioned the black card and blamed her for not using it.She thought that he would just mention it in passing and forget about it later.Unexpectedly, he took it to heart.He cared about every little detail.A person like Shawn had a lot of things to do every day, but he would take her little things to heart.While having breakfast, she felt that the sugar-free soy milk was very sweet.However, it was really because her heart felt sugary sweet!After breakfast, Gale we
"Mrs. Wood is too polite. I will take my leave so I won't disturb you and Mary."As soon as the head nurse left, Mary sighed. "Fortunately you came in time. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing.""It's not like you're a deadbeat. Don't think too much," Gale comforted her."The balance of my card is indeed insufficient. Matthew cut off my card," Mary said.Mary had always used Matthew's secondary card.After she got married, she became a good wife and mother, taking care of the housework and taking care of the Yarn family without any income from work.However, her resources, connections, dowry, and natal family background were enough for her to have enough food and clothing. She provided these to Matthew and willingly became the woman behind him.Matthew had never treated her badly in terms of money. In fact, he did not dare to treat her badly because everything he owned was obtained by relying on Mary.So, for so many years, there has never been a problem until today.Mary was
Mary shook her head and sighed.Gale comforted her, "You are wonderful. Matthew is ruthless, heartless and has let you down."With Mary's ability, it was very easy for her to open a company and become a strong, independent woman when she was young.Just to support Matthew and to be a good wife, she voluntarily retired behind the scenes and became a housewife, giving up her source of income.She was in charge of the home, while Matthew was in charge of work.That was also a kind of ability and a kind of dedication. Mary devoted her time to her family and marriage, so every penny Matthew earned for the company would be half of hers!So, why should Matthew cut off Mary's card?"He failed me, but my daughter will never let me down! It's just that if you gave me your salary card, what about yourself?""I still have a husband!"Shawn would not do anything to cut off her credit card, right?He has so much money!What was wrong with spending some money on her?She is his wife!Aft
Mary smiled and said, "Spend in peace. Believe it or not, if you spend less, Mr. Wood will still ask you in a roundabout way to buy clothes and bags.""Actually, I don't have anything to spend money on. Temperley Hall has everything…" Gale said.She almost never needed to do anything for herself.Now, Shawn gave her another card with no limit.Gale always had the illusion that she was a prodigal woman!"Excellent men are like this. They arrange everything and don't need you to worry about it." Mary said, "I have a hard life. I was young and ignorant and insisted on marrying Matthew. Now I have ended up like this. But I look at you marrying well, I am also happy.""I don't want to talk about Matthew, I get angry when I talk about it. Gale, how is Natalie now?" Mary changed the subject.Afraid that Gale would think too much, Mary explained, "I don't mean to plead for her. She has done so many wrong things and she has to pay the price for her actions. No one can help her. I just
"It's also a blessing for me to still have my mother by my side."After Wendy passed away, Gale did not feel maternal love for a long, long time.She became a mother, the one who gave Nicole maternal love.She finally had one again.After Mary took her medicine, she fell asleep.Gale walked out of the ward quietly and called Shawn.He quickly picked up. "Galey?""Are you busy? Did I disturb you?" she asked."No, tell me, what's the matter?"No matter when she called, it did not count as an intrusion!Even if there were a huge matter at hand, he would take it!Gale bit her lower lip. "It's okay, I just finished visiting my mother."Shawn's voice was deep and magnetic. "I received a text message for a credit card payment.""Yes, I paid for Mom's hospitalization," she responded."Galey, you don't have to explain where you spent it or what you did with the money. You just use it. It has no limit. I give it to you just to use it. It's not for collection, do you hear me?" Shawn
The death of Wendy had a great impact on Gale, and Shawn saw it.She originally thought that in this life, she would never feel the warmth of her mother again, but she did not expect...She would have one again.Mary and Wendy were of similar temperament. They came from a scholarly family, gentle and patient.Gale would have another person she could rely on and act like a child."Shawn… Why did you suddenly say such touching words." It made her want to cry.Yes, she has a mother again.She also has a father. Peter is now in good health and has passed the physical examination every year."I'm happy for you. Nicole has you, and you have Mary," Shawn replied.Gale asked, "What about you?"Shawn's parents divorced when he was young, and his mother left Sea City and flew away, never to be seen again.When Shawn's father remarried, his stepmother Paula treated him superficially and excluded and suppressed him in various ways.For Shawn, he could not even remember what it was like
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
