The blue light from the television fell dimly on Shawn's face.

He glanced at the bathroom occasionally before looking at his watch.

How long was Gale planning on showering?

Just as Shawn felt impatient and thought about going over, the screen suddenly flickered before it showed another image.

Zach's voice was heard.

"You still like playing these games? It's quite exciting." Shawn narrowed his eyes as he stared right at the screen.

Why did he hear Zach?

The television seemed to show a small and dark room. It seemed like an image from a surveillance camera.

Shawn felt like it looked a lot like a haunted house.

Just as he thought about that, he heard Zach's voice again. "An escape room?? A haunted house? Since we're already here, let's check it out."

Sam's voice was heard. "That's right. We've been getting better at these things. The experience is always incredibly realistic. I guarantee you. You'll like it."

"Alright, sure. Let's pass this stage." Zach seemed quite excited.

    He pushed Zach in a friendly way.Zach walked right inside, whistling a little tune and looking completely defenseless.He did not know that a carefully planned plot was waiting for him inside!"It's quite nice playing around with Sam. He's good at planning and a good friend at that. We should open up a business together, then my mom will stop nagging. What's so impressive about Shawn? I have my connections and resources too," Zach mumbled to himself.Zach walked inside, and the door behind him locked with a click.He did not care.The haunted house was completely dark, and he could not even see his hands.Suddenly, a ghost with white clothes on and a face full of blood jumped out, waving around.Zach reached out and pulled the ghost's wig off. "Little guy, aren't your props just too badly made? You're trying to scare me like that?"The ghost was speechless.Zach really was quite bold. No matter what happened, whether it was something scary or bloody, he was not scared at all

    Underneath the hair was that old and familiar face.When Zach saw it, he shouted out in fright, "Ah!"It really was his father!He was not mistaken!That face was full of blood that constantly dripped down.Zach remembered that look. When his father had just had his accident, his father looked exactly like that!It looked exactly the same!At that moment, the defenses around Zach's heart started to crumble.He grabbed his head and knelt down on the ground. "Go away, go away. Don't come over. Dad, you should just rest in peace. Why are you here? Please, just leave dad! I'll go visit you and clean your grave tomorrow!""If you have anything to tell me, just visit me in my dreams. There's no need to come here yourself. Please let me go, dad. I'm scared!"'Alex' knelt down in front of him. "Zach, you haven't seen me for so long. Aren't you going to open your eyes and look at me?"Zach had his eyes shut tight.The moment he looked, he would remember how 'Alex' died!It was a ni

    There were so many details about what happened that no one else could know!"Dad's here for my life. No, I still want to live. I don't want to die…" Zach constantly muttered to himself. He was already starting to faint. "I was forced to. I didn't want to harm you at all! Dad…"'Alex' asked, "If you didn't want to harm you, then who forced you to? Who was the mastermind behind everything?!""I…"'Alex' shouted, "Speak! If you don't answer, I'll drag you down to hell with me. What's the point of letting a son like you continue living!""Don't! Dad, I'll tell you everything!" Zach's face was full of tears. He cried as he revealed the truth."It was mom. Mom had me change the medication!""When Peter suggested borrowing the medicine from another hospital, Mom immediately pushed me to get it with the nurse. On the way, she sent me a message asking me to change it!""She had already made arrangements at that hospital. After I arrived, the medicine was already changed. Then, I would b

    "It's just a pity, I don't have a son as old as you. Stop calling me that. I'm not even married yet," 'Alex' said.Zach was stunned. He looked up abruptly, not crying anymore.The haunted house was very dark, and only a vague silhouette could be made out.The skin was full of wrinkles, and those rough eyebrows made it look like his father.However, how could there be ghosts in the world?Ghosts only existed in the heart!Zach hurriedly got up. "You… Who are you?!"He lost all of his earlier fear as he stared right at the 'ghost' in front of him. His expression was pale.Zach was no idiot. He realized what he had said and done earlier.He had revealed the truth behind his father's death!"Guess who I am? You kept calling me dad earlier. It felt so intimate," that person said. Zach reached out and grabbed a wig."Who are you?! You tricked me into saying all that earlier… What are your intentions?! Everything I said earlier was fake! It was all false!" Zach said."Hahaha, yo

    "I don't want anything. I just want the truth to be revealed!"Zach hurriedly stopped him. "No, no. What do you want? Money? Or something else? I'll give you anything!"He let out a sly smile, still trying to struggle in the end.However, Sam still shook his head.Zach was incredibly angered as he stared at Sam. "Very well, don't blame me for not being nice then! So what if you know the truth? I won't admit it. Who's going to believe you? Even… Even if you recorded it, I could say you forced me! No one will believe that I killed my father!"Sam smiled as he switched on the torchlight, shining it at the ceiling.The camera blinked in a red light.Zach was utterly defeated."Who exactly are you? You're clearly the Carson family heir. What do you have to do with the Warm family? You sabotaged me for the Warm family. How could that benefit you?" Zach asked.Sam slowly answered, "Gale used to be my fiance.""Impossible! I've looked into you. I didn't find anything like that!""Th

    Gale's voice was incredibly clear.However, listening to it carefully, her voice was still a little choked up.It had been so difficult. This day had come after so much difficulty. It had come far too late.However, she finally saw the glimmer of victory.She had won."Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me help you? Do you know how dangerous it was going to see Zach alone?!" Shawn asked.He felt a chill in his heart just thinking about it.Zach even dared to kill his own father. What could he not do?What if something happened to Gale?Did she even think about how worried he would be?Gale answered, "I needed to go even if there was danger. I won't tell you about what happened. I just wanted the results. Shawn, you saw the results now."He shut his eyes and gulped."What did you and Zach talk about? Did he do anything to you?! Did he mock you and toy with you?!" Shawn raised his voice unconsciously.She was Shawn's wife, noble and proud.Zach was not even worthy o

    "You took me out of school and tossed me into the mental hospital. I was inside for two years, even having to fight for scraps with the dogs… You married me and aborted my child. You forced yourself on me.""Shawn, you've never respected me! You've never treated me as your wife, nor have you ever looked at me as someone with any dignity!"Tears welled up in Gale's eyes.She uttered, "I really want to slap you right now, Shawn, because you owe me that.""Alright, hit me," Shawn answered.He owed her. He owed her far too much.He would never be able to repay her.If hitting him would soothe her anger, even if just by a little…He was willing.He could be slapped however many times she wanted!"Ha…" Gale smiled mockingly. "A slap would be too little for you. Do you think a slap would take away everything you've done? Would it take away those two dark years in the mental hospital, father's three years in prison, and mother's pain and suffering?!!"Shawn shook his head slowly."

    It seems to be the first time Shawn told her he loved her.Unfortunately, it was under such circumstances.Gale brushed his hand away. "It doesn't matter if you love me or not. The truth has hit you hard, so take it easy and think about how to solve it. I will take my leave."She turned around and walked toward the door without looking back.There was a faint fragrance in the air, and now it hurt so much to smell it.Even after a candlelight dinner, there was only bitterness in his mouth.It was even more impossible to lie on that big bed covered with rose petals...Just half an hour ago, Shawn was still imagining falling into the petals with her.At this moment, Shawn could only stand where he was, watching her walk away from him, step by step.He wanted to catch her and stop her, but the logical part of him told him that he could not do that.The more he tried to hold on, the more he would lose.She walked past the door and closed it, cutting herself off from Shawn's sight

    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
