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
Aurum walked up to her. "This outfit looks great. Are you ready?"Ivy smiled innocently. "I'm not a newcomer; I've been through many opening ceremonies. What's there to prepare? I just want to finish quickly and start filming."Aurum also smiled. "Yes, but it's my first time filming. I'm not very familiar, and I thought you were the same. My mistake.""Mr. Lefting, you're the investor after all.""I don't like that. Ivy, just call me by my name," Aurum said.Ivy nodded. "Okay, okay, Mr. Aurum has the final say.""Hmm?""You have the final say. Is that okay?" Ivy corrected.Only then did Aurum nod. "Okay. Gale has arrived. Let's go. You should go and say hello to her.""Okay."Ivy adjusted the strands of hair near her ear and walked out. Watching her leave, Aurum's smile deepened. It seemed that Ivy had taken the bait, falling for his kindness toward her. Logically, he should push forward with their relationship. He could not keep being ambiguous, could he? It was almost time
Ivy had a successful career. They felt that if they worked hard, they could get where she was. However, to marry into the richest family in Sea City was a matter of luck and fate. Moreover, to marry and have a doting husband was even rarer. Not only did it require fate, but it also required exceptionally good fortune.Actresses threw glances at Shawn from time to time. They felt he was a remarkable man and yearned to be noticed. Aurum sat beside them, looking immersed in the happenings. However, in reality, he kept an eye on every move Shawn and Gale made. He did this stoically.The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner. Paul led the crew members out and ended it by handing out gifts to everyone."These are a little token from Mr. Lefting to everyone. We can only pray for a smooth sailing filming." Everyone gets one."Gifting others gifts was seen as a gesture of goodwill, so leading actors would receive the same gift as an extra on the set.Paul handed over the gift. "Ivy, yo
He held onto her tightly and both of them fell to the ground together. Then, there was a loud slam. After that, Ivy heard the muffled groan of pain from the man beside her. The entire machine had crashed onto the man protecting her, but Ivy remained unharmed. She was stunned. However, she did not have much time to react because people around her had already rushed over."Mr. Lefting!""Quick, move the cameras away!""Someone call for help! What are you all standing there for?""If anything happens to Mr. Lefting..."The voices of concern bombarded her ears. However, she only heard the man's breathing. He must be in a lot of pain. The heavy and tall machine had crashed into him. He saved her. Why did he save her?Was it out of instinct? Did he genuinely care for her? Or was he just continuing to act? Acting until he became too immersed in the role and only thought about protecting and taking care of her?At this moment, Ivy's heart was in turmoil. She kept telling herself that Au
After this incident, everyone could see for themselves how Aurum favored Ivy. Aurum would risk his own safety to save her; this was not just ordinary affection. Shawn and Gale exchanged glances.They were witnesses to the whole incident.When the machine fell, Gale stood up in shock, but because she was too far away, she could not get to Ivy in time, and could only stand there feeling anxious.Moreover, Shawn also held her back, not allowing her to approach; it was too dangerous.People around Ivy were only concerned with protecting themselves, afraid of being hit by the machine, and focused on dodging it.It was Aurum who quickly got up, took a big step onto the stage, and rushed toward Ivy, blocking in front of her just a second before the machine fell, protecting her."Does Aurum really like her?" Gale muttered to herself. When one's beloved is in danger, they would not hesitate to save their loved one. Gale understood because Shawn had saved her from danger too. He would rath
Gale nodded. "Okay."She was extremely worried about Ivy, and even more concerned about Aurum's injuries!Shawn had already put his arm around her shoulder and was walking backstage.He understood Ivy's expressions and felt they needed to go to her. He had a feeling that Gale and he would need to witness what would happen next. Otherwise, how could they play along with this charade, if Aurum did not have the chance to take the stage?The chaos subsided, and the fallen camera was carried away."Sorry, sorry! There was a little accident, but it's okay, no one got hurt, it's not serious. Let's continue. There will be an interview session later. Our main actors will all be interviewed. Reporters are welcome to ask questions," Paul said.Paul was feeling quite annoyed. Just as they started filming, something like this happened, it did not feel like a good sign. It even fell on Aurum. He was the main investor, he could not accept anything happening to his investor.In the dressing roo
"But at that moment, you weren't near me," Ivy replied."I'm extremely grateful that I was still able to save you then," Aurum responded with a sense of pride. He would feel proud saving a woman he loves. Aurum had immersed himself into the role of someone who loves Ivy. He had to make it as convincing as possible. If he believed it himself, then others would believe it too."What if you hadn't successfully saved me, and the machine had hit me instead. What would you have done?" Ivy asked.Aurum was taken aback. He had not thought about that question because he had arranged the accident. He had coordinated with someone to trip and knock over the camera. There were even hand signals. Aurum was prepared to rush on stage right as the machine fell. He had calculated that he could make it in time.Over these past few days, Aurum had been getting along with Ivy. He had already shown his caring and considerate side, but his relationship with Ivy had not progressed any further. Ivy definit
