"She's beautiful. I've never seen her before.""It turns out that Mr. Wood likes the delicate and gentle type of woman!"Countless cameras were aimed at Gale, and they kept shooting, all wanting to capture Mrs. Wood's picture!"I'm sorry I haven't announced my wife to everyone. She is relatively low-key and shy, and she doesn't want to put her private life on the stage." Shawn's voice came through the microphone passed by the reporter."It means a lot to her because she is not only my wife but also the chief designer of the Lovito brand."Gale stood beside Shawn with her head slightly lowered.Many microphones were pointed toward her, but the bodyguards blocked them all.Shawn took her hand and walked into the exhibition hall.The uproar gradually faded away."Why are you still announcing my identity? It's not necessary," Gale said softly.Shawn walked straight forward with a steady pace. "I want everyone in Sea City to know you. I want them to know that you are Shawn's wife
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Shawn, can you change the way you pursue women? You gave Susan a wedding ring, and now you are giving me a pink diamond ring... It was the same both times.""That was originally intended for you, not for her."Gale shrugged. "I don't want it either."The appearance of two people was reflected in the clean mirror in the exhibition hall.Shawn was dressed in a black suit and a striped tie. He was slender and had a strong aura. The watch on his wrist reflected light and had an outstanding aura.Gale's evening white gown with a backless skirt was noble and elegant, and with her hair rolled up, she looked very gentle and charming.In fact, she had taken good care of her fetus and body these days, and she had gained some weight.When she first bought this dress, it was just the right size.She put it on today and found it a little tight.It was a good thing.Only when she was healthy could the two children be healthy.Shawn looked at her deeply.
"He's just a man. How could he do something so romantic?"Gale was a little surprised. The Heart of the Deep Sea was so precious, and they were actually planning to sell it?However, even if it were sold, the price must be an astronomical figure, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.The person who could own it must be from a wealthy family.She glanced curiously and found that she knew one of the two women chatting.She was a popular actress in the entertainment industry, Winnie Nightingale.Winnie's popularity had been very strong in the past two years. The three TV dramas she starred in have all exploded. They were ranked first at the same time, and she became an A-listed female star. Her salary had also increased several times.Moreover, she had just signed endorsements for several high-end luxury brands, including jewelry brands.So as the spokesperson, it was not surprising that Winnie could appear here.Gale did not know the other person in the purple dress and
When Aurum saw her, he was also a little surprised. "Gale, you also came to the jewelry exhibition?""Yeah, have you forgotten that I am the jewelry designer of Lovito?Aurum nodded. "You are a professional, so of course, you have to attend such a grand exhibition."Gale asked, "Do you also like jewelry?""My fiance does. She wanted to come, so I came with her," Aurum replied."Ah, you are really a good man."Aurum smiled. "I'm usually busy with work, so I don't have much time to accompany her. She is also sensible, and she doesn't blame me. She has always been considerate, so I naturally have to be more thoughtful in return.""That's great. I wish you happiness for a long time."Although, the person in Aurum's heart may never come back.The little girl would live forever in his memory."Thank you," Aurum said.Gale looked around and saw no one there, so she lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Lefting, I won't beat around the bush anymore. There is something I want to ask you f
In the dessert section just now, when Gale saw her chatting with Winnie, she was still wondering who she was.Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Aurum's fiance, Natalie, the adopted daughter of the wealthy Nightingale family in Sea City.The world was so unfair.The real daughter was missing, and her whereabouts were unknown.However, the orphan girl in the orphanage leaped past her birth station and became the daughter of a wealthy family."Thank you for the compliment. Did I show up too soon and interrupt your conversation?" Natalie said.She tightly held Aurum's arm as if she was claiming her territory.At the same time, she raised her head and acted coquettishly to Aurum. "You didn't tell me you left, which made me look for you everywhere… you can go to the exhibition hall if you are chatting with Ms. Warm. Why are you here?"Aurum explained, "It's just a coincidence. We didn't know if each other would be attending.""Then, you and Miss Warm are not that close." Wh
His brows were tightly frowned, very impatient, and the arc of his thin lips was pursed downward.This was a sign of his displeasure.However, the woman next to him... had not seemed to notice his emotional change.Winnie smiled and said, "Mr. Wood, it's a great honor to meet you. I hope we can work together in the future if there is a chance."Shawn ignored her.She said, not knowing only she was listening to herself, "I usually wear Lovito products. My fans saw it and bought my same style one after another. Mr. Wood, I believe I have the ability to be your brand ambassador."Winnie was like a peacock, and she kept opening her tail to Shawn, eager to show herself."You don't need to ask me about these things." Shawn was so annoyed by her and said coldly, "There are people in the marketing department who are in charge."Winnie did not know how to continue and took the initiative to pester him. "Well, other than work, Mr. Wood, we can also talk about life and ideals."She was w
She was bullying his woman in front of him?Winnie was really tiresome!However, just as Shawn was about to speak, Gale spoke first, "There is no need to call security so as not to disturb Mr. Wood. Ms. Nightingale, I know you are a popular female star with tens of millions of fans, and everyone knows you."Winnie was full of superiority. "It's good that you know!"Gale smiled slightly and continued, "But I'm not an ordinary passer-by with no name or distinction. Just now, I heard you and Mr. Wood had discussed endorsement and other things, right.""Yes! This is a matter between Mr. Wood and me. Don't meddle in other business.""Lovito is just a product of Wood Group. Mr. Wood is the strategic person in charge, and he wouldn't care about such trivial matters. So, Ms. Nightingale, if you want to be the spokesperson of Lovito, you can talk to me."Winnie was a little disbelieving when she heard this.She looked Gale up and down. "You? Who are you? What is your status, and do you
"What?! I represent so many luxury brands. I'm the most suitable person to represent the Wood Group. Why would you deny me like that?""An endorsed celebrity doesn't just represent the product, but the company's image and core values. I'm sorry, but we won't consider working with someone of your character, Ms. Nightingale," Gale said.Winnie pointed at Gale but could not find the words to say.She had been so intent on getting closer to Shawn. She would first get endorsed by the Wood Group. After that, she would develop a personal relationship with Mr. Wood. She might even be able to use that opportunity to become Mr. Wood's secret lover…Yet, the moment Gale appeared, it all went up in smoke!"Put your hand away. Winnie, she's not someone you can point at," Shawn said calmly.His sharp gaze swept across here, and Winnie shuddered. She immediately pulled her hand back. Shawn was way too imposing. Winnie tried to act cute. "Mr. Wood, I think we…we can still try working togethe
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
