"I even know your bank account password."Gale frowned, feeling uneasy. "Shawn, be honest with me. Stop kidding around. Are you doing this because something happened? Or are you trying to prevent something in the future?" she said, pulling his earlobe gently.Shawn knew that such a sudden move would raise suspicions. Being evasive was not a solution. He glanced at their two children: one watching cartoons, the other tirelessly working on a Rubik's cube. It was a happy and heartwarming scene. Shawn cherished these moments with his family of four. He wanted to enjoy this kind of life forever and feared losing it.Shawn lowered his head onto her shoulder, "The Wood family has always been complex."Gale was taken aback. Since returning to Sea City with the children, she and Shawn had not discussed the Wood family in such seriousness.She asked, "Shawn, your stepmother and your stepbrother no longer pose any threat. Now, the main figures in the Wood family are your father, you, me, a

She had been indulged for so long that she had developed a slight temper. She could not bear even the slightest grievance now, almost on the verge of tears. This was not the Gale everyone knew. Shawn had spoiled her into becoming pampered and fragile.In the past, Gale had thought being too delicate was not good; she needed to be independent and strong. Now, she realized that being cherished and spoiled for a lifetime was a blessing.Sniffling, Gale forcefully held back her tears. Shawn, of course, noticed the tremor in her voice. His heart clenched painfully. It hurt. Seeing her cry pained him more than anything."Silly..." Shawn kissed her gently on the corner of her eye. "I was just talking hypothetically with you. It's not real.""Hypothetical talk is not allowed!""Do you rely on me that much?" He pinched her nose lightly. "My Galey, you used to never cry so easily. Now, you shed tears at the drop of a hat, you're even more fragile than Nicole.""It's all because you've spoi

"No, no! You're being too pessimistic!" Galey shook her head repeatedly. "We will be very happy together and grow old watching Joshua and Nicole grow up, get married, and have children. We'll be an old man and old lady together."She nudged his nose. "I already have silver hair. Do I look like an old man?""Not at all, you don't!" Shawn chuckled softly. Galey wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling anxious despite his assurances, as if he might leave at any moment. She wanted to hold onto him, to feel his presence."You said you're afraid something might happen to you, so you've transferred all the shares to me… Aren't you worried something might happen to me?" Galey asked."Don't say silly things, I will protect you.""But what if, hypothetically..." Galey shrugged, using his words against him. "Isn't that what you just said? We're both human; accidents can happen unexpectedly in the future."Shawn replied, "Galey, haven't you forgotten... I am the president of Wood Group? I

In the CEO's office of Wood Group, the lawyer arrived early and meticulously reviewed contracts with Shawn, confirming each clause with him one by one. It was crucial to double-check everything because it involved billions of assets within the group."I won't keep a single share under my name. Transfer them all to my wife," Shawn said calmly."Mr. Wood, should we add a clause where Mrs. Wood holds the shares on behalf of Master Joshua and Miss Nicole, to be transferred to them once they reach adulthood?" the lawyer asked cautiously"Maybe, maybe not," Shawn replied.The lawyer could not help but advise, "Mr. Wood, to be safe, I strongly recommend adding it. Just in case, I mean, hypothetically..."This task was difficult, and the lawyer was clearly uneasy."If Mrs. Wood divorces you in the future, all these shares will belong solely to her, and you won't get anything. Are you sure about unconditionally transferring everything to Mrs. Wood?"Who could guarantee lifelong fidelity

Saying this, Shawn glanced at the time on his watch. "Gale will be here soon. Don't say anything suspicious in front of her. She's perceptive and tends to overthink, got it?"Joe sighed repeatedly. "I've seen men dote on their wives but never like you.""If you marry Summer, would you do the same as I did?" Shawn asked.Joe nodded. "I would.""Then what else is there to say?" Shawn left Joe speechless with his logical retort. Footsteps could be heard outside the door. They were soft and gentle, so everyone could tell it was Gale. Shawn nudged Joe with his foot and gestured with his eyes."Okay, okay, I get it." Joe nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I'll be tactful."Shawn replied softly, "That's for the best."As Gale walked in through the door, she smiled. "Oh? So many people here, Joe and Sonny.""Mrs. Wood, I've drafted all the terms of this contract, so I needed to sync up with Mr. Wood. Since he's fine with it, please review the contract," Sonny, the lawyer, greeted her.G

In the days to come, even if he is not around, she can still live well and never lack any comforts. The most straightforward way to express love for someone is to give her a lot of money."Tsk tsk, Mrs. Wood, I'll have to curry favor with you from now on. You're now a billionaire, one of the wealthiest women in the country. Is there anything your greatness needs from me?" Joe joked."Yes," Gale said."Your wish is my command!""Take good care of Summer. If you dare to let her suffer or be unhappy, be careful... I'll fire you!" Gale said.Joe covered his heart, looking scared. "No, no, no, Mrs. Wood, please spare me. I'll serve you wholeheartedly, walk through heaven and hell with you...""Aren't you Mr. Wood's subordinate?""He's just a figurehead now that he has no shares. He has no real power." Joe grinned. "You're the biggest boss of all!"Gale nodded seriously. "Yes, do well. I won't mistreat you. With me, you'll always have a seat at the table!"Shawn chimed in, "Did you

"When you meet the right person and fate comes knocking, why adhere to processes?" Joe's greatest wish now was to quickly crown Summer as his wife. Only by seeing her name officially logged in his family register did he feel he truly possessed her, giving him a sense of security. He wanted to marry her. When a man likes a woman, it would be that straightforward, that urgent. So, there was no need for women to wonder whether a man loved her or how much he did. True love is so passionate and fiery, you can feel it clearly.Gale thought for a moment. "That's one way to put it, but women tend to overthink things.""What doubts? Can you break it down for me? I just can't figure out what you women are really thinking," Joe asked.No matter how successful men were in their careers, they tended to be simple minded when it came to relationships. Joe frowned deeply as if facing a major dilemma. "You say it takes time, but Summer and I have known each other for so many years. I know her te

He walked out, so engrossed in thought that he nearly bumped into the door. His ridiculous behavior was too much for even Shawn to resist mocking him."Can you have a little dignity?"Joe did not bother replying. "Considering your wife just gave me some invaluable advice, I'll let it slide.""Hmph."Joe took a step back, reopened the door, and chuckled. He was amused at his own behavior."A man in love would act the same, huh..." Gale watched Joe's departing figure, unable to help but comment, "But why didn't I ever see this side of you when we were together?"Shawn had always been mature and composed."What side? The side where I walk into a door like an idiot?" he asked.Gale laughed. "Something like that. It just shows how Joe is so serious about planning his future with Summer that he doesn't see the door. Anyway, he didn't really bump into it; he stopped just in time."Shawn asked again, "Do you think his behavior is normal?""It's not normal, but it's very endearing." S
