Joshua picked up the gold necklace, bit on it, and grinned. That was not all. When Lucas arrived, he handed Joshua a key. "Great Grandpa, what is...""A house key.""What?! A house?"More precisely, it was the key to a villa. Lucas explained, "In the future, when you grow up and have a family, you can move here. Joshua, you can't keep living with your parents, can you?" Joshua joyfully accepted, "Thank you, Great Grandpa!"Lucas was always generous. After buying a theme park for Nicole, he purchased a villa for Joshua. Their gifts were progressively more luxurious."Do you ever feel that his gifts are getting more extravagant?" Gale nudged Shawn's shoulder.Was that appropriate? Would it cultivate Joshua's lavish spending habits?Take the racing car model from Peter as an example; it looked ordinary, but as a limited edition, it cost tens of thousands! Not to mention the gold necklace and a villa!Shawn replied, "It's fine."Gale realized she should not have asked him beca

Gale spoke first, "Aurum..."Shawn furrowed his brows, scrutinizing. Why was he here? Aurum looked calm. His eyes glanced past Shawn and Gale and made a beeline for Joshua. He held a bouquet, knocked on the door, and offered it to Joshua. "Joshua.""Uncle Aurum! You came!" Hearing Aurum's voice, Joshua's eyes lit up."How could I be absent on your big day?""I thought..."Joshua glanced at Shawn.Considering how petty and jealous his father was, he probably would not have informed Aurum. In fact, Shawn indeed did not tell Aurum that Joshua was getting discharged that day. Aurum came on his own.However, with everyone here, could Shawn really send him away?Aurum smiled. "I haven't bought anything special, Joshua, just a bouquet of flowers.""Flowers are great, so beautiful and fresh. I love flowers!" Joshua ran over, taking the flowers in his hands. "Uncle Aurum, I like everything you give me!"Aurum patted his head. "In the future, stay close to your mom and dad, be obedient

"Actually, you don't have to accompany me. Shawn wouldn't be pleased," Aurum said."It's a matter of courtesy."Aurum suddenly smirked mockingly. "Do we need that between us?"Gale bit her lip. "I didn't mean that...""Gale, you're very fortunate now that you have Shawn by your side. He loves, respects, and cares for you and is accepted by Joshua and Nicole. Four years ago, when you jumped into the sea, you couldn't have imagined that one day you would have such a perfect life.""Perhaps that's life, we never know what happens next."Aurum stopped, facing her. "Gale, are you happy now?"Gale nodded."Do you love him?"Gale nodded again without hesitation.Aurum remained silent for a few seconds, then smiled. "I knew it. I guessed it a long time ago. Your feelings for Shawn never disappeared; they've always been buried deep in your heart. No matter what I do, I can't replace him.""Even though I've done so much for you. Even though we've known each other since childhood.""A

Aurum honestly believed that his silent efforts and years of companionship had wielded results. He thought that Gale had a change of heart and that she had feelings for him.Therefore, he hastily canceled the engagement with Natalie, severing ties. He wanted a fresh start, unburdened, to embrace Gale. However, what transpired was realizing that it was all his own misguided imagination.Gale sighed. "I lied. Back then, it was just to deceive Shawn for a divorce." In a moment of rashness, she wounded two people, Shawn and Aurum. "I'm sorry. I thought you ended things with Natalie because you found the real heiress of the Yarn family. I thought you claimed to like me just to use me as a cover, so I went along and said I liked you too," Gale added.Unexpectedly, she was the true Ms. Yarn, and Aurum's love was genuine. However, her proclamation of loving him was a lie. Aurum slowly clenched his fists. "Everything was fake, all of it. The only true thing is your love for Shawn."

They were silent for a few minutes. Finally, Aurum spoke slowly, "Gale.""Yes," Gale replied, nervously clutching the edge of her clothes.She was eager to hear Aurum's answer.Aurum raised his hand, placing it gently on her shoulder. "I wish you a lifetime of happiness.""Aurum..."The disappointment in Gale's eyes deepened. It seemed he chose to end things there. She had no choice but to respect his decision and accept reality."As for me, I'll return to my original life. I'll quietly watch over you. I'll always be there," Aurum continued.Gale froze. She stared at Aurum. She could not understand. What did returning to his original life mean? Did that mean they could still interact like they used to?"Aurum, do you mean..." "Just like before. Do you understand?" Aurum said.Gale continued to stare at him, dumbfounded.Aurum added, "The difference is that we now have an additional bond between us. Gale, you're the true daughter of the Yarn family, my childhood playmate. Ou

"Godfather?""Yeah, you've long been family to them for as long as they can remember."Especially Joshua.During his time with the Leftings, he was completely enchanted by Aurum's charm, thinking Aurum was flawless in every aspect. That was why the idea of matchmaking her with Aurum crossed his mind.Aurum was indeed a very good man.Even after the incident with Natalie, Gale still felt that Aurum was the perfect man. He was still gentle, always considerate of others, and a gentleman in every sense."No, it's okay. Being called 'Uncle' by Joshua and Nicole is enough for me," Aurum said.Gale did not insist. "Sure, it's just a title. What you've done for them far exceeds what an uncle should do.""I did it willingly.""Yeah! I get it. I think you understand my intentions too."Aurum nodded. "I do."Truth be told, Gale had her own ideas, but Aurum had his own. He absolutely resisted the idea of being called their godfather.What Aurum wanted was not the role of a godfather; i

He trusted her.Although, a tinge of jealousy in his heart kept surging. A man could hardly stay indifferent when his wife was alone with a man who liked her. What more when the man was Shawn, the King of Jealousy.Joshua appeared out of nowhere, standing between the two."Shawn, did Uncle Lefting leave because of you?"Shawn was speechless."Mom, you're smiling even brighter now. Did something good happen?"It was Gale's turn to be speechless.Shawn picked Joshua up. "Go stand aside."Little did he know, Joshua held onto the doorframe, "I won't go, I won't go. Uncle Lefting came to see me, and he left after putting down the flowers. Something's not right. Does this mean I won't see him again?""He's really a good man, Shawn. You can't bully him!""Uncle Lefting is already a sad single man. You have a wife, Nicole, and me. You're the winner in life. You should be gracious and forgiving, turn the other cheek, and be a true gentleman!"What a sneaky kid. For such a young age,

Shawn smiled slightly. "How dare I. I can only stand here hopelessly, hoping you'll come back soon."Gale grabbed his arm, gently swaying it. "I knew it. Mr. Wood is becoming more and more understanding.""Understanding?"Was it really the appropriate way to describe him?Gale quickly said, "You don't like it? Then how about being gracious then?""Isn't that what Joshua said just now?"Gale laughed. "Anyway, it means the same thing. You get it! In any case, you're no longer petty, suspicious, paranoid, weird, or domineering."Shawn's gaze darkened. "Gale. You use these derogatory terms on me so easily. However, you can't come up with any praises and have to rely on Joshua for help.""No, absolutely not!"Gale put on an innocent look and blinked her eyes.Even if she did, she could not admit it!Gale shook his arm again. "I'm just too tired, my brain isn't working. Come on, let's pack up and go home."They would really return home.The four of them would be reunited, home t
