Shawn pushed her away with great force.Gale took two steps back, but she could not stand still and fell to the ground.The door slammed shut, and Shawn left.His way to love her… that would be the devil's way of love!Gale's heart sank, and she squeezed her palm tightly.It was very late, and Shawn walked in the dark, alone in the cold.Yes, Gale was right again.He did not understand love, and he had never really loved someone.He used to think he loved Susan, but he discovered that he had no feelings for Susan.However, his feelings for Gale have gradually deepened over time.Shawn tried to ease his relationship with her before but to no avail.He was learning and giving in, but Gale did not appreciate it at all.Then... let him use his own way to start this relationship.The devil's way! The devil's love!Shawn tugged at his tie, and a cruel and bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He will do whatever it takes to make her only depend on him!The n
"Yes."Gale clenched her cutlery unconsciously.Shawn loved Susan so much before, but now he was heartless!After finally finishing what he had put on her plate, Gale felt that she could finally slip away when Shawn said, "Take my car.""I...""You dare to refuse?"Gale could only get into his car.When the car drove out of Temperley Hall, Gale saw Susan.She was pressed to the ground by two bodyguards, her mouth was sealed with tape, and she looked in the direction of the vehicle eagerly and excitedly.It seemed that she had given up, trying every means to find a chance to meet Shawn.What about Shawn?He held the document and looked down, completely indifferent to what was going on around him.Cool and aloof.Suddenly, the driver stepped on the accelerator abruptly, and Gale leaned forward uncontrollably.A hand reached over and pressed against her forehead, preventing her from hitting the back of the headrest."What's going on?" Shawn asked in dissatisfaction."Mr. W
She had to be patient and wait for that day to come!"Mr. Wood, now even Gale can humiliate me and bully me like this… Have you ever thought that she is also a bad woman? I faked my pregnancy, yes… but she is pregnant. She is pregnant with someone else's bastard child!" Susan cried.The dean immediately echoed, "Yes! Susan pulled her down the steps and wanted to help you to get rid of her child! Otherwise, if it spreads out, you will be humiliated!" The father and daughter duo pointed their fingers at Gale.Gale was about to say something when Shawn spoke, "I will handle her affairs!""Mr. Wood...""Go back and reflect on your mistake!" Shawn said sternly.Susan lost her momentum to retaliate, and she only agreed, "I've been reflecting on it the whole time, Mr. Wood... No matter what, my love for you is true, and what we did that night..."She also wiped the corners of her eyes, trying to gain sympathy."I faked my pregnancy. You are so angry and yell at me... But Gale was preg
What to do...She only heard Shawn say calmly, "I will solve it my way. You don't need to worry about it.""Mr. Wood, can you bear it?""Of course not, but it's not your place to teach me how to do things! Come, men!" he replied."Yes, Mr. Wood.""Take them..."Shawn had just said a few words when he suddenly heard a 'ding'.It was the notification sound of the mobile phone mailbox.It was quite clear.Moreover, the sound came from… Gale's mobile phone."Who sent you an email this early in the morning?" Shawn swept his eyes sharply."I didn't even look at it. It should be someone from the company."Gale was worried, but she pretended to be calm.She probably guessed that the email was sent by Sam!After Sam went abroad, they were in touch via email. Sam unilaterally sent it, and she would not reply.She was afraid of being discovered by Shawn.Unexpectedly, her email came now!No matter how much Gale pretended to be calm, she could not hide from Shawn's sharp eyes.No
"It's an email from Sam! Mr. Wood, Gale is still in contact with Sam!" she said quickly.Gale's eyes went dark, she almost fainted, and her back was sweating profusely.It was really from Sam!How now!Shawn had murderous intent in his eyes. "Gale!"He grabbed the phone and opened the email…"Everything is fine here. Everything is going well. Gale, how are you? I miss you so much. Wait for me to come back."Shawn squeezed the phone tightly, his fingertips turning pale from the pressure.The next second, he raised his hand and smashed the phone.With a snap, the phone was torn apart, and the screen was completely shattered.Gale took a deep breath.She could not even read what was written in the email!This scene made Susan smile proudly. Gale really brought this upon herself. How dare she keep in touch with her ex-fiance!"Mr. Wood, look. What else is she afraid to do? She is wild, and she even dared to contact her ex. She is hung in the past!" Susan said deliberately.Ga
Hate her family but love her.Despair and fear surrounded Gale.She knew Shawn was determined to abort her child!'No!'"I'm not going to the hospital. I'm not going!" Gale slapped the driver's seat incessantly. "Stop, let me out! Stop it!" The driver gave Shawn a look."Don't stop!""Yes, sir." The car continued to move forward.Gale gritted her teeth and suddenly turned around quickly to open the door!When she had grabbed the handle and was about to open it, Shawn's hand stretched out to wrap her waist, and with the other hand, he locked the car door again!"Gale, do you want to die?""I'm not going to the hospital! If you don't stop, I'll have to jump out of the car!" She reiterated again.Shawn said angrily, "Do you think you can save your child if you jump out? You can't!""I know. Then let me jump off the car with my child and fall to my death. It's better than being sent to the hospital's operating table and letting the abortion go on!"He stroked her face. "Why wo
As long as Shawn allowed her child to live, she would stay by his side obediently because she had no choice.However, he did not want to.He just wanted to kill it off."No man can bear for his wife to carry a bastard child! Let alone me!" Shawn roared.He was the high and mighty master of Sea City's business empire!"You keep saying that my child is a bastard...But do you know, Shawn, I met that man earlier than you," Gale closed her eyes, and tears rolled down his cheeks.That person appeared first, followed by Shawn.First come, first serve.Shawn was the one who arrived later.Shawn leaned back. "Stop saying things like this to make me angry. It won't do you any good to make me angry."Gale raised her hand to wipe away her tears.The car was parked at the hospital.Shawn carried her out of the car and to the operating room without letting go.Doctors and nurses were already waiting at the door of the operating room.They were waiting for her to come.Gale would never
The doctor and nurse pushed the hospital bed and walked into the operating room.There were tears in Gale's eyes. Her hands grabbed the sheets under her till her fingernails broke. He said he would love her in his own way.Sure enough... it was the devil's love!Destroy her and deprive her of her most precious child in exchange for the lifestyle he wanted!"Shawn, I hate you. I will always hate you!"As Gale's voice fell, the door of the operating room closed.She only saw the corners of Shawn's lips slightly raised.It was cruel and bloodthirsty.It was a hospital bed with a doctor and nurse. The lamp on the operating table made Gale unable to open her eyes. Tears fell violently, and the hair around her ears was wet."Can you spare me...can..." she repeated over and over again, hoping for a miracle to happen.This time, who could save her?Gale knew that she was lucky enough to be able to save the child at the most urgent moment.Can the luck continue?The anesthetic w
Summer didn't know, but the more she said that, the more unsettled Gale felt inside. Everyone was telling her that Shawn wasn't that busy, didn't need to work overtime, let alone stay in the office until late at night. So, what was he doing that night? Did he have some secret that she couldn't know?Just as she was pondering this, several exclamations suddenly rang out in the office. "Wow! Look at this!" "Oh my god!" "This is so explosive!" "The hype is skyrocketing!"Several colleagues were glued to their computer screens, their faces full of gossip and excitement. Gale was puzzled and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"Summer immediately picked up her phone. "Let me see... Oh my god!"Gale grew even more curious. What on earth had happened? She hurried over and stared at Summer's phone screen.News stories flashed one after another, relentlessly. Gale quickly caught the most crucial information: "Ivy announced her withdrawal from her latest film, leaving the female
She wondered what Shawn was doing that night, that he came home only at dawn. Where did he go? Was he lying?Just a moment ago, Gale merely felt something was off, but now, she was overwhelmed with a strong sense of panic. Joshua's words about how women flocked to Shawn and how men would not be suddenly busy, suddenly flooded her mind.Even though Gale tried hard to tell herself not to overthink things, that it was impossible, and that Shawn deserved her full trust, she was having a hard time controlling herself!“Gale?" Summer called her several times. “What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted.”“Nothing,” she shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m getting ready to work on the design. I really can’t delay any further.”She wasn’t in the mood to joke around with Joe and Summer anymore, so she turned and sat down in front of her computer. Her mind was completely blank. What on earth was Shawn doing that night when he came home so late? Clearly, there wasn’t any urgent matter
Summer chuckled, "Look at you, anyone who doesn't know might think I bully you just because my position is higher than yours. Gale, come on, show some authority. I heard from Joe that Shawn has all the shares...""Shh!" Gale quickly covered her mouth. This was a sensitive matter; it wouldn't do to discuss it casually. If someone with ill intentions overheard, it could lead to unnecessary trouble."Okay, okay, I won't say anything," Summer understood her meaning. "Let's talk about work then? Oh great designer, where's your design draft? It was due last week! You've been delaying for quite some time!"Gale looked embarrassed. "I... I haven't finished it yet...""Show me the draft.""I haven't even started the preliminary draft...""What?!" Summer looked shocked. "Gale, how did you become so lax?""There's so much going on, taking care of two children, and Shawn..." Gale's voice trailed off.At this moment, Joe suddenly appeared from nowhere. "Is Shawn clinging to you, or are you
“Sorry, Gale, I'll be more careful next time.” He hugged her, lightly brushing her forehead with his chin.Gale wondered if she was overthinking things. It was just normal work busyness that made Shawn come home a bit late, and she hadn't really minded or dwelled on it. But, it seemed this issue kept resurfacing in her mind.Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt lighter."Ah..." Gale exclaimed, "Shawn!"He scooped her up horizontally and headed upstairs in large strides. It was another night of intense entanglement. Gale was tired and sleepy. Her eyes were barely open, but just before drifting off to sleep, she managed to say, "I have to go to work tomorrow, on time... no more skipping.""Okay."With Shawn's response, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.She left everything else to him… She was going to fall apart! She didn't know what was going on with Shawn, these past two nights have been endless. Before, he might ask for too much, but he would care about her physica
The trip back home was serene and filled with warmth for Gale. Shawn in contrast, felt tumultuous. By the time they arrived home, the two little ones were already fast asleep in the back seat, slumped over in different directions."Just a moment ago they were chattering non-stop, now they're all curled up asleep," Gale chuckled. "No matter how clever they are, they're still just kids."They were her little darlings. She opened the back door and gently lifted Nicole out. For some reason, when she lifted Nicole, she felt a bit unsteady and swayed."Careful," Shawn noticed and reached out, pulling her and their daughter into his embrace.Gale leaned securely against him. "With you here, how could I fall?""No worries, maybe Nicole's just gotten heavier as she's grown. I'm having trouble carrying her now," Gale said."Let me."She tilted her chin. "You take Joshua. I can manage for this short walk, really.""I can handle both," Shawn replied."Yeah, yeah, I know you're strong."S
"Alright, alright," Joshua shrugged and said, "Old man, you do your thing. Actually, I hope you could be a bit busier.""You want me to be busier?""Yeah, just a bit busier than now. Not too much, just a moderate increase," Joshua gestured, "You're always so leisurely, it makes me uneasy, Shawn!"Shawn asked, "What makes you uneasy?""Your business. I'll have to inherit it in the future! If you continue being so idle and not managing the company well, when I take over, I'll be swamped! Shawn, can't you think about your son?"So that was Joshua's concern. He feared Shawn wouldn’t manage the company well and it would burden him in the future.Gale sighed repeatedly, "How did I end up with such... "She couldn't find the right words.Smart?Mischievous?Shawn replied calmly, "Joshua, do you now realize you're my son? I should consider you? Then let me ask you, what do you want to call me?""Daddy."Joshua smoothly said.Both Shawn and Gale were somewhat surprised.He actuall
"Joshua!" Gale turned around to look at him. "What's been going on in that little head of yours day after day?"Joshua replied seriously, "I'm thinking about you, Mommy. Shawn leaves work on time every day, never stays late. Suddenly he's busy until midnight. Don't you think that's a bit strange?"As he said this, Gale felt something wasn't quite right. But she trusted Shawn enough. The company was big, with lots of business, so the occasional unexpected situation was normal. Even if she pushed the thought further, what would Shawn do? Would he be seeing other women? Gale wasn't concerned at all because Shawn wouldn't give any woman a chance! He loved only her and she was confident that she held the only place in his heart."Alright, I think you've been watching too many dramas lately," Gale said. "Joshua, from now on, you need to cut down on your TV drama time!""No! I refuse!""Joshua, your protest is futile!"Joshua was getting frustrated; he really wanted to watch TV.After
Joshua reluctantly said goodbye to Ivy, "Bye-bye, Ivy. I'll come over again when I have time. You can come to my house too! Love you! Mwah mwah!"He kept blowing kisses."Shawn," Gale looked at him, "Does your son know no shame?""I'm starting to suspect he might have a genetic mutation."Both Shawn and Gale were quite reserved by nature, especially in expressing their feelings. They loved subtly and rarely voiced it openly. But Joshua was different. He worked his charm on everyone from the old Lucas down to babies. He could make anyone happy if he wanted to!The car moved along the road.Gale asked, "What do you think about Ivy's condition today?""What do I think?""Yes.""I didn’t observe closely," Shawn replied. "Why?"Gale couldn't help but laugh, "I allow you to look and give your opinion. It's fine. You don’t have to create your distance so strictly.""She's better than last time," Shawn said. "Beyond that, I don’t know."Even if he knew, he couldn't say.Gale reac
Ivy stared at Gale, her eyes bright and clear.“Gale, if I hold the truth in my hands, would you want me to reveal it?”Gale nodded firmly. “Yes!”“Do you want to know the whole truth?”“I do!”Ivy blinked, then suddenly smiled. “Okay, okay, Gale, I know what to do now.”“Can you tell me now?”“Not yet.”“Why?” Gale asked. “Have you been threatened?”She grew tense all of a sudden.Ivy shook her head. “No. It’s just too complicated to explain in a few words. But with your support, I suddenly feel stronger and know what I need to do!”Even if President Wood tried to stop her, she would expose it. She would vent her anger, punish Paul, tear off Aurum’s hypocritical mask, let Gale know Aurum's ugliness... Ivy decided to act on her own. She resolved silently.Smells of food wafted from the kitchen.“Dinner’s ready,” Ivy smiled. “Joshua, Nicole, did you wash your hands?”They replied, “We’re going now!”“I’ll take you.”“No,” Gale stopped her. “They’re big enough to wash the
