"I'm hungry. I rushed here after the meeting and didn't even take a sip of water." Shawn raised his hand and glanced at the time.Gale immediately responded obediently, "Okay."He sat in the car, holding the steering wheel with one hand and holding her hand with the other.She turned her head and looked at him without blinking."What's wrong?""I suddenly realized that you are so handsome.""It's a sudden discovery again... Galey, when will you realize that you are marrying the best man in the whole country?" He sighed.Gale answered seriously, "I think being the strongest and most capable is not the most important...but, Shawn, I find that you are the man who understands me best.""Understand you?""That's right." She nodded and leaned forward. "How did you know that I would pay for Matthew's medical expenses and that you would be proactive enough to cover all the expenses before me?"She clearly acted unconcerned.Obviously, when Matthew fainted, Gale stood quietly on the

"Besides, will Heather still follow him? I'm afraid she is already looking for a rich and powerful old man!"Shawn raised her eyebrows deeply. "I'm checking on Heather.""Any clues?""It's too long ago, so it's a bit difficult to check. However, there will be news, so please wait patiently."Gale gritted her teeth. "I felt that she was very guilty. Her eyes were evasive and her words were hesitant. However, she still refused to admit it."Shawn tilted his head deeply and met her gaze. "Galey, I will find out those who have hurt you one by one and let them get the punishment they deserve."That was his promise."Okay." Gale looked at him and smiled sweetly.She had no appetite at first, but after having a deep chat with Shawn, her mood gradually improved.Sure enough, a gentle lover could alleviate most of the suffering in the world.Gale suddenly felt full of expectations for the future.In the afternoon, she and Shawn returned to the Wood Group.Shawn personally escorted h

"Huh? Then what should I do?""Go write a novel!"Peach asked excitedly, "Gale, how did you know that I secretly wrote novels when I was in school?"Gale did not know whether to laugh or cry.With Peach's temperament, she was capable at work, innocent, and very lovable.What a nice girl.It would be great if she could marry Sam!"Then do you have someone you like? You can imagine him as your leading actor! You must have a perfect image of a man in your mind to write a good novel and come up with a rich plot!" Gale asked."I...I have never..."As Peach spoke, her face suddenly turned red.Gale could see her blushing.Her body reacted naturally!"Oh, it seems that you have someone you like, and you keep it in your heart. Tell me, who do you like? Can I help you be a matchmaker?" Gale jokes."Gale, don't laugh at me.""I'm serious. I would be happy if I could solve your lifelong problem!" Gale said.Peach smiled. "I am not worthy of him."Gale did not like hearing this.S

As soon as the conversation shifted to gossip, Peach immediately perked up and became animated."Mr. Winter and Ms. Summer were both acting really unusually lately. They are always together, they argue less, and Ms. Summer has been receiving flowers... I sense something is happening between them!" Peach said, her eyes lighting up.Gale playfully poked her on the forehead. "When it comes to your own love life, you stutter and stammer. When it's gossip time, you transform into a different person."Peach smiled sheepishly. "Well, who doesn't love gossip, Gale?""You and Summer's love life are my gossip. Peach, if you like someone, go after them. At least you won't have any regrets, you understand?"Gale had high hopes for Sam and Peach. They were a perfect match. Gale had absolute confidence in Sam's character, and Peach's lively, pleasant, and cheerful personality could bring him joy.Now that Peach seemed to be interested, she would have to find out if Sam felt the same. She decid

Summer felt like she was struck by something. She suddenly had no strength and lay on the seat motionlessly."It's over, I can't do this.""Come on, is it really that bad? It's just one more day," Gale asked."One day, 24 hours, 440 minutes, 86,400 seconds." Summer counted on her fingers. "They say that time drags, but one more day feels like an extra year to me! Do you think it's easy?"Gale shrugged. "You've made it through thirty days, is one more day that difficult? Who knows, you might be together for thirty more years, celebrating your 30th anniversary…""It's impossible! Absolutely not! I will never be with Joe!""Don't be so absolute about it.""Absolutely!" Summer slammed the table. "Even if all the men in the world were dead, I still wouldn't be with Joe!"Gale just chuckled."Summer, don't be surprised if you end up feeling like Joe is better than all the men in the world."Summer pointed to her eyes. "I'm not blind! I'm not interested in him!"A knock came to the

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Gale, what have you been up to these days? I haven't seen you much, and you don't look too well. You seem a bit worn out," she asked.Gale gave her a rundown of everything that had happened.Summer listened, gaping at the story."It's quite complicated, so I don't really want to get into it. Besides, I'm close to resolving everything. Don't worry about it." Gale smiled."Wait, Gale, your family background and what's happening with the Yarns' are your personal affairs. How you handle it is your business, I support you. But... you've rejected Aurum just like that?""It's impossible for us."Sometimes, fate is a strange thing. If Gale had always been the Yarns' daughter, then she and Aurum would have gotten married. They were inseparable childhood friends.However, Gale disappeared.Not only did she disappear, but she lived with the Warm family and grew up with Sam instead. She was on track to be married to Sam.However, the W

Gale nodded. "That's true."Summer clapped her hands together. "See, I told you! However, Nicole has Shawn's bone marrow and lives with him, so she's probably on his side. Joshua lives in the Lefting family and has witnessed Aurum's devotion to you. He must be on Aurum's side!""Tsk tsk, Gale, what will you do? Your son supports Aurum, but your daughter supports Shawn. You're stuck in the middle, torn between them.""You underestimate Joshua. I've already talked to him. He said he supports all my decisions and will cooperate unconditionally," Gale said.Summer scoffed. "He's too sensible.""You hate Shawn that much? What if he hears you bad-mouthing him and holds a grudge against you..."Summer quickly covered Gale's mouth. "Ugh, don't say that!"She was still afraid of Shawn. After all, he was her boss.The more Summer thought about it, the more anxious she became. Could it be that Shawn was really outside the door?She got up and walked to the door, peering through the crack

She actually noticed that these flowers were meticulously chosen by Joe every day. Unfortunately, Summer was unaware of this and thought he just paid for the florist to do it. However, Joe also did not seize the opportunity to reveal his effort. He could have said it to move Summer. What woman does not like hearing about the effort her man put into romance her?"Mrs. Wood, it's rare to see you so free today. Is your work almost done?" Joe changed the subject."Not yet, but it's getting there.""Your latest series is selling very well in the market. Next month, you'll receive a large bonus. Congratulations. Would you like to treat us?"Gale nodded. "Sure, I'll treat you both."However, Summer quickly waved her hand. "No, no, after this month, except for during work, I don't want to see Joe anymore. I want to be free!""Oh?" Joe looked at her with a smile. "Are you tired of me?""Could you be reasonable, Joe? We've spent too much time together this month!"Summer felt like, apa

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
