"I'm going out to answer a call." Shawn turned around and left.Paula nodded. "Okay, come back early, don't go too far."Shawn left. She immediately walked to the doctor's side and lowered her voice, "The rest is not important. What is the outcome of the paternity test? Is the child really Shawn's?""Following the result of the test?""Yes! Let me know!" The doctor pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "According to results, the child in the womb is indeed Mr. Wood's.""What?!" Paula was stunned. "Did I make a mistake? Did something happen? It's impossible!"She could not accept the result!"It's absolutely true." The doctor replied, "You told me before to be vigilant, so I did it myself, and there was nothing wrong."Paula was dumbfounded.This was really maddening!Then, why would someone steal the test tube and try to destroy the identification?However, the doctor was the one she chose, and she hid the real test tube early in the morning so it could not be wron

Gale's heart sank.Although she knew that Summer had stolen the test, she was still a little uneasy."She didn't mention it." Gale shook hands nervously. "Did she tell you?""Yeah."She became even more nervous. "What did she say?"Shawn looked into her eyes deeply. "Everything is fine. ""Anything else?""What else?"Gale breathed a sigh of relief. "No. I... I'm worried that the child will have problems."If Paula knew that the child was not Shawn's, she would turn the world upside down!She really would not be able to save the baby!Shawn leaned back on the chair and said, "The bastard you are carrying will be checked every now and then. Speaking of which, I should arrange for Susan to do a comprehensive pregnancy check.""Oh, I wish you a smooth delivery." Gale did not care at all. "Is there anything else?"She worked a day's work and was so tired that she just wanted to take a bath and lie down.Shawn raised his eyebrows deeply. "Yes. Tomorrow morning, Aurum will come

Gale took out a tissue and prepared to wipe it for him."Mr. Wood, it's just a small mistake." Aurum said, "Besides, Gale is a designer, so she shouldn't do this kind of thing."Shawn sneered. "She's only fit to do this kind of thing!"Gale bit her lip and squatted in front of him, wiping the tea on her trousers attentively, annoyed that she did not hold her hand steady just now.Shawn's eyes were always on the top of her head. She raised her head to look at him and found that he glanced at her knee.She understood.Squatting was not enough.She needed to kneel.There was no way, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Gale could only do the same.Aurum was startled. "This...""It's okay." Gale said, "I've disturbed the two of you, so I'll go make tea again."Shawn said coldly, "It's a small matter, and you can't even get it done. Get out, don't come in again!""Yes, sir."Anyway, his goal of humiliating her in front of Aurum had been achieved, and so he did not

Susan laughed even louder. "Oh, Mr. Wood, don't say that..."She just wanted to hoard these supplements on purpose, making Gale unable to supplement herself.She has disliked that child for a long time and will do everything possible to make Gale lose her child!"Aren't you supposed to be hospitalized to take care of your baby?" Gale took a deep breath and kept her emotions calm. "Why are you here?""The doctor said that my condition is stable, and I can be discharged from the hospital.""Your home is in the River View Apartment."Susan raised her chin proudly. "Mr. Wood said, from today, I will live in Temperley Hall. Because I am pregnant, he wants to accompany me more. He wants to see our baby grow!"What? Let Susan live here?What about her?How about the days after this? Will it be over?Susan was looking for trouble every day, coming up with all kinds of schemes to target her and the child in her womb!Moreover, Susan was also pregnant, in case... Susan lost her baby a

Her villainous proud face was nauseating.Gale chose to take a step back. "Okay. Then you live in the master bedroom. I live on the first floor."Anyway, the farther away she can be from these two, the better!Susan smiled tenderly. "The guest bedroom on the first floor? Oh, you have become a guest. Do I have to entertain you?""I can't bear it.""Mr. Wood, then do as you wish."Shawn looked up at her. "No. Gale, you live in the servant's room at the back."The whole living room was quiet as soon as these words came out.The housekeeper's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Wood, this...""What is your status? You are not a host or guest. The servant's room is the most suitable for you. It will give you a place to stay." Susan was about to burst out laughing."...Okay," Gale responded.The maid's room would be better than living on the floor of the master bedroom.At least she has her own space!She does not have to worry about sleepwalking into Shawn's bed, and she does not hav

He responded nonchalantly and looked out the window irritably. The servant's rooms were lit.The servant's rooms are in a house behind the main house, hidden by the tall walls of the villa, and could not be seen at all.The housekeeper said, "Ma'am, this is one of the better rooms. Are you satisfied?""It's good, thank you, housekeeper.""It's so simple and small. Will you be fine?"Gale laughed. "I'm really happy with it."She wanted to leave Shawn and sleep alone.She has to control her breathing when sleeping with him in the same room.How comfortable she was now.She finally had peace of mind. She could wake up in the morning and roll around without anyone bothering her, watching her, or controlling her."You are too easy to be satisfied." The housekeeper said, "Ms. Susan...""She is Shawn's favorite now. You should not go against her because of me, lest she targets you."The housekeeper left, and Gale was so happy that she wanted to dance in circles.Although Susan li

"If a man really likes you, you don't need to do anything. He will want you and will do whatever he can. It seems that Shawn doesn't like you as much as you imagined…"Well, Shawn almost killed her several times.Can he still really control himself in the face of his beloved woman, Susan?He was too selfish. Those who are ruthless to themselves will only be more ruthless to others.Gale was about to leave, but Susan did not want to let her go. "Don't talk nonsense here. Mr. Wood is very good to me!""Oh, congratulations to you then.""Gale, what are you doing?"Susan stretched out her hand to pull her, but Gale avoided it. "I still have to go to work. I don't have a life as good as you, where I can rely on a man. Don't waste my time." As she was about to leave, she looked up and saw Shawn standing not far away. He looked at this scene indifferently.When Susan saw him, she immediately complained, "Mr. Wood, you come to save me, Gale, she just... scolds me!"However, Gale was

"Susan, this child... Since he doesn't exist at all, let him not exist!"Susan didn't understand, "Huh?""Abortion, find a way to have an abortion. "The dean said, "Let the child be gone.""Dad, without the child, Mr. Wood would not be so kind to me!" The dean smiled, "This non-existent child has value, then when he goes, it should also be valuable. Susan, it is definitely not for you to have a miscarriage casually, you have to pull a trick!" Susan's eyes lit up, "You mean Gale?""Yes!" The dean nodded. "What would happen if your child died in her hands?"Kill two birds with one stone!It not only solved the fake pregnancy but also condemned Gale!The crime of killing the baby of the Wood family would be enough for Gale to suffer forever!"Dad, you're still smart!" Susan nodded excitedly. "It's a brilliant idea!""Shh, it's not easy to do this, there can't be a single mistake, or we'll be the unlucky ones at that time. ""There's still time! Besides, I live in Temperley H

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
