"Then I want to take charge.""Good, you will be on top, under no one but above me."Gale's face flushed. That sounded really wrong. How could he suggest such a thing?"Shawn!" She slapped away his hand, lingering on her cheek, "Be serious!"He looked at the red mark on the back of his hand from her slap, "Whether Joshua calls me daddy or not doesn't matter to me. I can wait. Besides, I am his father, and that's a fact."He had become used to Joshua calling him Shawn.Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Besides, after returning toTemperley Hall, he began to be inexplicably attentive to me. This morning, he helped me with my briefcase, carried documents, and opened the car door for me."Gale was speechless.She could imagine Joshua's bootlicking Shawn!At this rate... Wait, would Joshua be siding with Shawn just because of that spaceship thing?If she had known, she would not have told Shawn about what Joshua liked."What does he want exactly? Gale, do you know?" Shawn asked.She answ

"Might Mr. Wood?" Fiona made a gesture of cutting her throat. When Shawn gets angry, whoever goes near him dies. She doesn't want to end up dead.Gale replied, "He's in a good mood. If someone's in a bad mood, that's me."Fiona sighed in relief. "That's good, that's good!""What?""Well, ma'am, why are you upset? Mr. Wood is utterly devoted to you. You are blessed!" Fiona said.Gale sighed heavily, "Glamorous on the outside, tormented on the inside."Fiona was puzzled."Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Fiona, you're still single, right? Wait until you have someone, and you'll understand."Fiona scratched her head, "I'm focusing on my career for now.""It's been so many years. I have two children, and I can still work. Why are you still single? Doesn't Mr. Shawn care about your personal affairs?""Well...""Let me talk to him later. I'll tell him not to work like a mule. Your career is important, but your personal life shouldn't be neglected!"Gale wav

"No, no. Gale, you know, when I see Mr. Wood, I get nervous, even flustered. I can't even make eye contact with him. Fiona is Mr. Wood's personal secretary; when I see her, I get just as nervous and flustered! It is impossible, not to mention she is a girl!" Peach quickly refused."I haven't said anything yet.""But that's what you mean!"Gale nodded. "Yes, exactly. You and Fiona get along well, you know each other inside out. What if it actually works out?"Peach shook her head vigorously. "No need, no need. It is inappropriate, not a chance!"Gale suppressed a laugh, playing more with the idea of teasing her.Gale understood why Shawn liked to tease her for no reason. It turned out it was quite amusing to tease someone and observe their reactions.Of course, Gale could not possibly try to match Fiona and Peach. Peach's heart belonged to Sam, and she knew that. She just mentioned Fiona to make a point."Peach, you haven't really spent time with Fiona. How can you be sure it's

Why the sudden visit?Seeing Peach's unusual expression, Gale asked, "What's wrong? What's going on? You look like life has been drained from you.""Mr. Carson is here..."Gale perked up at once. "Sam? What a coincidence!"She was just about to have a heart-to-heart with Peach. Since Peach did not like Fiona, why not try with someone she liked? Gale knew Peach liked Sam, and she would help her pursue him. Sam had even delivered himself to her door. That made things even easier.Peach panicked. "Oh no, oh no. Why did Mr. Carson came without informing me? I'm not prepared! I haven't even put on makeup, I am dressed so casually. How can I meet him like this!"Gale got up and pushed her into the rest area. "Go, do your makeup and change your clothes.""But Mr. Carson...""I'll handle it for you!""No, Gale. If Mr. Wood finds out...""It's fine, don't worry about it." Gale waved her hand. "Go quickly, make sure to appear beautifully!"Peach was completely flustered, her mind buzz

"No changes. I'm surprised you still remember." Gale replied. "We've been friends for almost twenty years, from elementary school to college graduation. How could I forget your preferences and habits?"However, sitting face to face and having a calm and peaceful conversation was actually quite rare. So many people drift apart as life goes by. Sam just smiled and sipped his tea. He had matured a lot; he was no longer the impulsive young man he used to be. Gale looked at herself again; she had changed too. She became quiet and gentle, with a motherly and nurturing aura.They had gone through so much; who could maintain their original appearance?"How have you been lately? I want to hear the truth," Gale asked."Very good, really good. I know you've been doing well too." Sam heard about Gale from the news, gossip, and the whispers in high society. She had two children, shares in the Wood Group, and is married to Shawn. She was the envy of the whole city.However, Gale did not

"Maybe you're not even aware of it. Truth be told, you don't have to personally come all the way here since you have a secretary. However, you still chose to make the trip yourself," Gale said."Have you ever thought that maybe you want to see her and talk to her?""Perhaps, amidst your busy schedule, being around Peach relaxes you?"Sam kept his head lowered. After a while, he said, "She's really quite adorable.""I think so too."Having said enough, Gale decided to stop. Patience was key. It is necessary to break through that layer of hesitation when it comes to love. She could not force the issue all at once. She just needed to seed the thought in his head.Peach had long fallen for him. As long as Sam opened up a bit and took the initiative, the two of them could likely become a couple.Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them, and Peach rushed in."Mr. Carson, I'm sorry. I had something urgent, so I couldn't make it earlier. I asked Gale to entertain you in my place

"At the end of the year, we will be changing the spokesperson for Lovito. Who do you think will become the new global spokesperson for the brand?""Is it going to be a male or female celebrity?""I don't know. It's not something we can decide.""I remember Summer really likes...""Oh, Summer has to decide on this, or Gale will have the final say."They were whispering, but Gale heard them.The spokesperson for Lovito? Her eyes darted around, and she immediately had a candidate in mind! A good spokesperson would boost jewellery sales and represent the brand image. So, Gale thought of a female celebrity, Ivy Park.She was stunning, with delicate features. She had a commanding presence and did not give off an innocent, helpless vibe. She was the queen of product endorsements as a double award-winning actress with millions of fans. The clothes and bags she wore became bestsellers.Ivy Park had not been in the entertainment industry for just two years. In this short time, she had ac

He furrowed his brows slightly. "Are you accusing me?""Fiona said you were meeting a female celebrity, but when I came in, I only saw you. I can't help but suspect you've hidden her away," Gale replied.His expression darkened. "Nonsense, she just went to the restroom.""Oh, that's it then." Gale stuck out her tongue. She believed Shawn, but teasing him a bit was irresistible. How could he possibly be interested in anyone other than her?"Speaking of which, did you meet Sam today?" Shawn, hands behind his back, asked nonchalantly."How do you know? Are you following me?"He casually replied, "There's nothing I don't know when it comes to company affairs."Gale scoffed. "Pfft. Yes, I did meet him. We spent some time alone in the meeting room, and had a chat over tea. What's wrong with that?""It's fine.""Then why ask?"Shawn's gaze fell on her, mysteriously saying, "Wait till you get home tonight."Gale instantly regretted her earlier bravado. The courage she had just displ

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
