"What's going on? How did water manage to get everywhere?" Joe asked, pulling out a tissue.Summer was about to take the tissue, but he got it first before her and started helping her wipe."Um..." Her face grew even hotter. "I can do it myself.""Don't move."Joe was very serious and meticulous.Gale gave a tsk tsk. "You two really don't care about my existence, do you?"Joe did not even turn his head. "You can't speak if you are in the same situation."Gale fell silent again.Why was Joe so good at retorts? He did not even give her a chance to tease him! Back when she was all lovey-dovey with Shawn, Summer used to tease her all the time. Now, whenever she wanted to say something, Joe left her speechless. No, next time this happens, Shawn must be present. He would be good with words and could definitely outwit Joe.Nevertheless, Gale stopped talking. However, Joe did not want to let her get off so easily."Why are you still here? Can't you see you're disrupting my moment wit
"To drive even more sales, we can get creative and limit the quantity of the books," Joe suggested."Everyone will have seen the photos, we'll sell out the jewelry, everyone's happy, it's a win-win situation." Joe clapped his hands. "Isn't this great? Do you have any other opinions or questions?"Gale shook her head first."I can't believe it, Joe. Your business acumen is incredible! No wonder you're the vice president of the Wood Group!" she said.Joe smiled. "Nothing special, really. Your man, Mr. Wood, is the real business genius. There's no need to bother him for such trivial matters."Even Summer could not help but praise. "It's so logical, so creative. Why didn't we think of that?""Let's get started then. Any hesitations?" Joe asked."No hesitation! Thanks, Joe! I'll get on it right away!"Gale had not expected such a thorny issue to be resolved so easily. For her and Summer, each of the twenty-plus photos was precious, and they could not bear to part with any. But now,
"I understand your concerns. So, I'm taking it easy. I'll date you. As for marriage, I can respect your thoughts. I will wait patiently until you let go of all your guard, and trustingly hand yourself over to me," Joe said.If Joe had his way, they could go and register their marriage immediately. They would think about the wedding later. However, he knew Summer would be scared. He could only prove himself over time, that he was worthy of her future and trust. When the time was right, he would propose to her.At that moment, when Summer agrees to him, she would say yes to a lifetime."Men would always be so sweet during the honeymoon phase, especially someone like you who always has honey on your lips," Summer muttered."Want a taste?" Summer pinched him. "Be serious."Joe tightened his embrace around her, smiling. "It's just the two of us here, being serious is boring."He kissed her temple. "Summer, I can wait, you don't have to feel pressured. When we're married, I'll be a g
Why does Ivy want her to attend the kick-off ceremony? Does she want to see her? Does she have something to say?Gale sat on the balcony of the master bedroom, gazing into the distance, lost in thought. Suddenly, she sensed someone's presence.Shawn walked over to her, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "What are you staring at?" Gale pushed the invitation toward him. "Take a look."He glanced at it. "I don't really want to go, but Ivy wants me to. I'm considering it," Gale said.Shawn replied lightly, "Go then."She was somewhat surprised. Was he really so readily agreeing to let her go? After all, Shawn had been keeping a close eye on her. In the evenings, they stayed home, accompanying the children, and helping with homework; during the day, when they were together at the company, he constantly messaged her. If she did not reply to him for more than five minutes, he would send someone to find her.Sometimes it was Peach rushing over in a hurry. "Gale, please reply to Mr. Wo
Was he praising her or poking fun at her? Gale was not sure whether to be happy or sad."Why do I need to dress up so nicely? I'm already married. What if some single guys start to fancy me? How do I reject them?" Gale asked."Erm..." Joshua glanced at Shawn. With him around, there were many things he could not say."Well, if some guys like you, it means your charm hasn't faded, and it also proves that Shawn has great taste. He married you while you were still highly sought after! Isn't that right?" Joshua replied.Shawn reached out and grabbed the collar of his shirt, pulling him close. "Stop pretending. What's on your mind?"Joshua blinked his innocent big eyes. "I'm just saying what's on my mind.""Hmm?" Shawn raised an eyebrow. "I'll give you one more chance. Are you sure you don't want to confess to your thoughts?"Faced with the threat, Joshua quickly weighed his options in his mind and chose to come clean. There was no other choice; Shawn was too powerful, and he was stil
"It can be postponed."After some thought, Shawn decided to accompany her. Bodyguards could not guarantee her safety. Joshua was right, with so many male stars on set of all types, surrounding Galey… No, Shawn could not imagine it! Moreover, she was going as Wood Group's first lady, what if someone decided to court her?"That settles it. Let's just consider it as supporting Ivy," Shawn said.Ivy was the only female star under Wood Group, and also the spokesperson for Lovito. That was her first film after she switched companies.Having both Mr. Wood and Mrs. Wood attending the opening ceremony would be the ultimate sign of support. No one in the entertainment industry dared to look down on her. Even if Paul had any evil thoughts, he had to think twice and could not act rashly."Okay, if you want to go, we'll go together." Gale nodded. "There are also many female stars on set, maybe there are some you like."Shawn's voice perked up. "Hmm?""Haha, let's go play badminton, get some
Gale skipped onto the bed and lay on his chest, yawning. "Let's sleep early, we have to wake up early tomorrow.""You're already thinking about sleeping?"Gale shuddered at the thought of what Shawn wanted."There's something important tomorrow. Don't be funny," she said."It's okay, we'll do whatever needs to be done now, it won't affect anything.""I'll be too tired! I'll end up oversleeping!"Shawn hugged her waist and pulled her close. "Then let them delay the ceremony.""Hey..." Before Gale could finish her sentence, Shawn's lips descended upon hers.He had been relentless every night. Gale could not resist. She could not. She worked all day, so she knew that at night, she had to fulfill her duties as a wife. She also understood that Shawn wanted to show her that he did not care about that night. Therefore, Shawn was even more energetic than usual. As a result, Gale could not get out of bed the next day. The alarm had rung three times already."Shawn!" Gale lay in bed,
Every time she appeared in public, she stood by Shawn's side, and she did not need to do anything except smile. Women everywhere took it as a sign of her being treasured and pampered.Reporters surrounded Shawn and Gale, firing questions incessantly."Mr. Wood, why did you choose Ivy as the first female celebrity under your company?""She is representing Lovito. Do you think she is qualified?""Mrs. Wood, when do you plan to have your third child?""Why are you and your wife attending this ceremony? What is the significance of it?" "Will you be venturing into the entertainment industry next?"A barrage of questions was thrown at them.Gale maintained a graceful smile, waving at the cameras. Most of the time, she just stayed by Shawn's side, keeping her head down. He would handle it."Thank you all for your concern." Shawn paused for a moment, then said, "We are considering having a third child."He only answered that question and ignored the rest. Shawn held her hand all the
