"If he can screw around, he shouldn't be hurt that badly."Gale noticed that Aurum was not wearing a shirt and was still holding onto Ivy. When she was eavesdropping outside, she had already anticipated that the two would be embracing, so she subconsciously ignored it. It was only now, with Shawn's reminder, that she realized it. Ivy's face flushed, quickly turning red, as she lowered her head to stare at her toes. Aurum also cleared his throat a couple of times. It was indeed a bit awkward."Oh my, that's right. Aurum, why aren't you wearing a shirt? And... Why are you still hugging Ivy?" Gale said, her eyes widening in surprise.Shawn pursed his lips. Gale's acting was too fake; he found it hard to watch. He helped her eavesdrop, and kept an eye on the surroundings, making sure no one caught her. As a result, she was not even paying attention and stumbled right in. Did Aurum not know what had happened? He was well aware, he just chose not to expose her."Well, it seems like I've
Aurum held Ivy's hand."Having you by my side will help distract me," he said, rubbing her hand with his fingertips.She blinked and finally responded, "Okay."Gale watched the scene with a gleeful smile. She nudged Shawn. "Hey, do you think... they are together now?""How would I know? Aren't you eavesdropping?" "Aurum just confessed, but Ivy hasn't accepted yet," Gale whispered."In that case, they're not together.""No, no, no, it's my fault! Right when Ivy was about to answer, I was too focused listening, then I stumbled in and interrupted them!"Gale was so annoyed at herself. Why did things have to go wrong at the most critical moment? Shawn watched as Aurum and Ivy held hands."Do you think they're not together when they're holding hands like that?" Shawn told Gale, "Gale when a man wants to get a woman, he'll give it his all. If he doesn't succeed, it just means he hasn't tried hard enough."As the doctor treated him, Ivy stared at him unfazed. Aurum just stared at
Paul repeatedly glanced at Shawn. With him around, he did not dare to voice out, just nodded and smiled apologetically. Even if he had ten lives, he still could not afford to offend him!"What's going on? My words don't matter to you? You won't act unless Shawn speaks up? Or do you want Aurum to notify you that Ivy's interview is canceled today?" Gale asked.Paul kept laughing awkwardly, shaking his hands repeatedly. "Mrs. Wood, no, please don't misunderstand me..."Gale rolled her eyes. After finishing this movie, Paul should be blacklisted. This scumbag had hurt Ivy, who knows how many other women he would target in the future! Seeing Gale's impatience, Paul realized it was time to leave. He could not wait any longer, or else he would get in trouble.Paul nodded. "Alright, I'll go inform the reporters. By the way, Mr. and Mrs. Wood, why don't you sit down? Should I arrange for the assistant director to show you around the set?" "No need!" Gale still was not courteous. Paul co
Shawn lowered his head, whispering in her ear, "What's going on? Every time I kiss you, do you not know how your lips look afterward?"Before Gale could respond, he continued, "I almost forgot, it's normal you don't know. You can't see yourself, it's not like you rush to the mirror every time."Gale blinked.She did not have time to dwell on Shawn's teasing; her mind was filled with the idea of them kissing. Was that not something only couples do?"Are you saying she's been kissed? Are you sure? Really? It was just her and Aurum in the lounge…" Gale asked.Surely it could not be the doctor. That was too far-fetched."I can confirm, yes, I've kissed you so many times and seen you up close. Do you think I wouldn't know? Gale, I see clearer than you!" Shawn said.Gale clapped her hands. "Well, this is good news! Though, Ivy seemed to be avoiding me just now, why?""You can just ask her directly later. No need to guess," Shawn advised."Yeah, but she's gone to the interview area.
Gale had been most anxious for their relationship but she suddenly did not know how to react."Congratulations…" It took her a moment to gather herself, then she hastily added, "I always told you that the future holds infinite possibilities. You're bound to meet the right person!"Aurum just smiled. He glanced at Shawn. Aurum had more to say but hesitated. Perhaps it was because Shawn was present. How could Shawn leave? He would never allow Aurum and Gale to be alone together!Just as the atmosphere became awkward and tense, a cell phone rang. Shawn glanced at his phone, seeing it was for him."I'll take this call." He patted Gale's head and walked away.It was not far, and he could still see what was happening. This allowed Aurum and Gale to have some space for conversation while he could still observe their every move."Do you have something to say? Maybe it's not convenient with Shawn being here earlier.""It's actually okay if he hears, though with him around, there are some
It was just for a moment. He regained his composure immediately. Aurum exclaimed in surprise, "Did we... actually do anything? Gale, are you sure?""I'm sure, and so is Shawn.""Have you found evidence? I've been busy with the company and the movie shoot. Did I miss any important updates?" Aurum asked.Gale shook her head. "We haven't found evidence yet, just some clues. We repaired a surveillance camera. Considering the timing, plus the fact that we were both drugged, the probability of us having a relationship is very low, it is almost nonexistent."It sounded like she believed it was not possible at all, and even if something did happen, it would only be undressing. Aurum pursed his lips, remaining silent."Once we have sufficient evidence, I'll let you know." Gale sighed. "I really hope you and Ivy can be together. Aurum, it's time for you to settle down. I mean, did you really want Joshua to introduce a girlfriend to you?"She joked, lightening the mood.Aurum smiled. "Ye
Sure enough, Gale smiled happily. "Yes, you can't just leave when you feel like it. With Ivy around, you can't bear to leave.""I wouldn't." Aurum shook his head. "If it weren't for having something to tell you, I would have accompanied her to the interview and then watched her from afar.""If you were there, she'd be distracted, unable to answer the reporter's questions properly, all flustered and absent-minded.""No, Ivy wouldn't be like that. When she's working, she works hard. In private, she enjoys life to the fullest. She's a very clear-headed person, she has goals, and knows how to work hard. I understand her. That's one of the reasons why I like her."That was true. Ivy was not the type to be distracted by romance; she was very independent and assertive. Such a woman naturally attracted a man as excellent as Aurum!"Yes, you both understand each other very well. It's not my place to meddle. I don't want to worry about it anymore. Just remember, Aurum, I have always hoped y
"Finished with your call?" Gale trotted over to Shawn. "Such good timing, I just finished mine too." Her arrival conveniently interrupted the eye contact between Aurum and Shawn. "Let's go, it's time to head home. Staying here any longer will only cause trouble," Shawn said, wrapping his arm around her waist."Absolutely, today's trip was totally worth it!"Gale turned around, waved to Aurum, and said, "We're leaving now. Take care of your injuries. Well hey, you have someone to care for you now. Ivy will always be there for you. Bye!""Goodbye."As they were leaving, Shawn cast a meaningful glance at Aurum. Aurum also looked back at him. Their gaze was electrifying. Shawn saw the murderous glint in Aurum's eyes clearly earlier. What was going on? Who was the person Aurum wanted to harm? Was it Ivy? Or was it Shawn himself? Regardless of who Aurum wanted dead, Shawn would never let him succeed.Aurum stood still, finally able to reveal his true self. His expression was full of r
