She buried her head in his chest. "If I can convince Joshua to call you Daddy now, can you let me go?""No.""Why?""No reason."Gale bit her lip. "Actually, Joshua accepts you. If he truly dislikes someone, he won't bother or even say a word. He talked to you, and that meant he acknowledged you.""Is that so?""Yes. Trust me, I know my son. He doesn't dislike you.""Then why won't he call me Daddy?"Gale answered without hesitation, "Pride. You haven't called him son or showed that you care. How could he willingly call you Daddy?"She poked his chest. "This is all up to you."That put Shawn in a difficult spot. His way of dealing with Joshua had always been mutual appreciation mixed with mutual disdain. Now, with the sudden realization that they were father and son, turning around their relationship was indeed challenging. Shawn could not adopt the same tactics as he did with Nicole; Joshua was not someone who could be won over with hugs and kisses. The father and son were

His two children would surely not prioritized money above all else. Shawn had confidence in Gale too; she had raised the two children well. Joshua and Nicole surely valued their bond over all else.When Joshua was living away, Nicole talked about her brother daily. She thought about him while eating, doing everything with him in mind. Despite returning to the luxurious life at Temperley Hall, she never forgets her brother. She even kept trying to hint at Shawn subtly, but unfortunately, Shawn remained oblivious."You're really jumping ahead of yourself. Maybe Nicole will be a career-oriented strong woman in the future, while Joshua will be a carefree young master." Gale chuckled."The children would have to find this out themselves. We can't control them that much, Gale."True. Each person has their own path. Parents cannot accompany their children throughout their lives.Gale lifted her chin, lightly poking his chest. "You seem to be quite open-minded. If only you could be this

He acted as if nothing had happened, remaining extremely calm."Yes, I... cough, I seem to have come at an inconvenient time."He should have come a bit later. Lucas had been standing there for several minutes. Seeing that Shawn and Gale had not noticed him and showed no intention of stopping, Lucas had to speak up! He was anxious to see his grandson."What brings you here? You should have notified me in advance," Shawn asked.The housekeeper beside him explained, "Lucas went to visit Peter. It was only then that he learned about Joshua. He was extremely worried and excited, so he hurriedly came to the hospital to see Joshua."Lucas had patiently waited for Shawn and Gale to continue their affectionate antics. He tried to be patient. Lucas could not wait any longer, prompting the intentional cough to interrupt them."So, you came to see Joshua."Lucas approached with his cane. "Yes, is he awake? Was he frightened? Oh, what a poor child. So young! Such a disaster.""Joshua is

So, Joshua could only lie there, bored out of his mind. Every part of his body seemed to ache. However, he was too proud to complain about the pain.He needed something to distract himself. He wished he had supersonic hearing to eavesdrop on the conversation between Shawn and his mother outside the door.The door soon opened, and it stunned him. "You're back... huh?"'Who was this white-haired old man?' Joshua asked, "Old man, did you walk into the wrong room?"Lucas was ecstatic, and his eyes lit up upon seeing him. "No! This is the place!" Lucas hurriedly walked to the bedside, feeling heartache and pity. "Dear great-grandson, you must be in pain. Oh, I wish I could bear this injury for you."Joshua was bewildered."Lie down and rest," Lucas wanted to pat his head but hesitated, afraid of causing him more pain, "Why are you so thin? You need to eat more. Later, we'll get you all the best food.""Oh dear, my poor great-grandson."While Gale treated Joshua a little better tha

Lucas was extremely nervous. He genuinely worried that Joshua would not take him as his great-grandfather. Who knew..."Great-Grandpa! Why would I blame you? I like you a lot!"Lucas's eyes welled up with tears. It was so touching!"My dear great-grandson." Lucas gently touched his head. Seeing that Joshua did not avoid his display of affection, his heart melted.He might be old, but the descendants of the Wood family were thriving!Joshua was always good at sweet-talking. Everyone was charmed by him. They all treated him with extra care and praised him everywhere they went."Great-Grandpa, I'm injured and can't move. Otherwise, I would definitely hug you and hold your hand. When I recover, I'll do that, okay?" Joshua said.Lucas agreed readily, "Okay!"What a great-grandson, so sensible, articulate, and extroverted! With him, the Wood family's ancestors could rest in peace!"Great-Grandpa, I used to envy my friends who had grandparents. Never thought that I would have them al

Shawn rolled his eyes despite being usually calm and collected. Unfortunately, Lucas caught him in the act."What did you do to Joshua? Look at how scared you've made the child. He's keeping things to himself!" Lucas asked."What could have scared him?" Shawn had never seen Joshua scared."You don't understand! Step aside, step aside. Stay away from my dear great-grandson; he is too scared to say anything," Lucas scolded.Impatiently, Lucas shooed Shawn away, then looked at Joshua with a smile. "Speak up, don't be afraid."Joshua pouted and said, "Shawn said he won't give me shares of the company in the future.""What?!""He also said he prefers his daughter over me.""What?!!"Unable to bear it any longer, Shawn tried to explain, "I..."Lucas interrupted him, "Shut up!"Joshua almost burst into laughter at Shawn's predicament."In fact, it's not about the shares… What he said hurt me..." Joshua continued, still pouting, looking pitiful.Lucas hurriedly comforted him, "Wha

Joshua played the part of a wounded child so well. He planned to rely on his great-grandfather in the future.Shawn turned away. When everyone left, Gale gently tapped his nose. "You... ""What did I do?" Joshua blinked his eyes, looking innocent and teary. "I haven't done anything, Mommy…" He even imitated Nicole's tone. Both siblings had large and adorable eyes, resembling Gale, making them extraordinarily charming. When Joshua grows up, he will undoubtedly captivate numerous girls and become the crush of many.Gale shivered. "Behave, please.""Why, Mommy…""Joshua!""Alright. Are you worried about your husband?" Joshua pouted.She was speechless."If I weren't hurt, you would've twisted my ear off by now. I must make the most of my injury," Joshua said.Gale asked, "Haven't you done enough? You almost risked your life!""That was to save you, it was not an act.""Okay, settle down." Gale glanced at the door. "Now, he is going to scold Shawn all because of you."Joshua lo

Lucas felt that he had been too harsh with Gale. Gale had never done anything to betray the Wood family; it was the Wood family that owed her too much."Treat her well from now on. She has sacrificed and given too much for you. We need to make it up to her," Lucas said.Shawn replied lightly, "Some things can't be compensated for; we can only do our best.""That's true. However, your relationship with Gale will affect the children, do you understand?"Lucas had observed their relationship all along. He saw clearly how difficult and exhausting their relationship was."Grandpa, I will do everything in my power to sincerely keep her by my side as my wife. I want her to love me. I will only love her."Lucas patted his shoulder. "I'll be waiting for your good news.""Hopefully.""As expected. Shawn, I wish you success," Lucas said.Shawn slightly hooked his lips. "I am confident.""Good, good." Lucas laughed heartily. "Excellent."After seeing Lucas off at the hospital, Shawn ret
