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
"You're quite the player, Gale," Shawn teased."Back in college, Summer and I were so obsessed with celebrities. We used to go to concerts and even meet and greet the stars at the airport." Now she was a wife and a mother, so she had dialed back to just looking at celebrities like eye candy. Truth be told, Shawn was as handsome as a male celebrity. However, seeing him every day could get a bit tiresome. She was secure in having Shawn, but the male celebrities were just out of reach. People liked what they could not have."You can also go to the airport now, greet the stars, following your imaginary boyfriend around the country," Shawn said. Gale immediately declined, "No, no, I'm too old for that now."Honestly, she wanted to go, but she did not have the guts because she was afraid her husband would disapprove. She could not indulge that male celebrity crazed side of her anymore."Good call."If Gale dared to go, he thought he would break her legs to stop her from going. On
His entire world revolved around his wife and kids. Joshua stood by, watching the 'drama' unfold.Suddenly, he sighed, shaking his head repeatedly. "Mommy, what does marriage really do to women?"Gale glanced at him. "Are you about to share some opinions again?""Marriage ties you down! You have no freedom!"Gale said nothing. She glanced at Shawn several times, then at Joshua, signaling him to be more careful with his words. Shawn was very sensitive. Joshua did not care at all."Look, in the past, there were so many guys. Today you liked this celebrity, tomorrow you liked that other drama lead. You got bored, and immediately switched your targets. You could always pursue anyone you liked.""Now? You only have Shawn. Tsk tsk tsk, you gave up a whole forest for a single tree!"Nicole disagreed.She retorted, "Joshua, according to your logic, Daddy also gave up a lot for Mommy."She was more inclined toward Dad's side. Every time her brother criticized Dad, Nicole would speak
