"I came to buy it for my mother. She likes the desserts here," Gale replied. "Then...""I took too long, and she should have gone to bed by now. It's too late for me to bring it back.."Shawn did not speak and just glanced at the manager.Being a smart person, the manager immediately understood, turned around, and went to Fiona to get Wendy's address!Starting tomorrow, he will send her a slice every day!Gale came out of the dessert shop, only to find that everyone was waiting for Shawn. Among them were several familiar faces whom she knew well as the senior managers of Wood Group.She was a little embarrassed and turned her head to avoid them.Who knew that they greeted immediately, "Mrs. Wood!"The voices chimed in unison.Gale was even more embarrassed.She quickly glanced at Shawn, who was beside her. "Go back to work. Everyone is waiting for you." It's okay. You are more important.""I'm going back."Shawn put one hand in his trousers pocket, pretending to block

He deliberately teased him.After so many years, it was hard to find Shawn's weakness!He had to laugh!"She is a family member, an employee, and even the boss's wife." Shawn replied without changing his expression, "As the chief designer of Lovito, it is only natural for Gale to participate in scouting for the location of the concept store." "Yes. You are the big boss. Everything you say is right. Who dares to oppose you?"Gale's face turned red.It was Summer who stepped forward and bumped Joe with her elbow. "Shut up before you sound stupid.""Hey, is this the way you talk to your boss?""I always talk like this when I talk to Shawn."Joe touched his chin. "Summer, you are becoming braver.." "Of course. My best friend is the proprietress of the Wood Group. I'm a big deal," Summer said."Of course.""Let's get to work. Stop talking about personal matters." Summer said to the person in charge of the mall, "Let's start introducing everyone." The person in charge nodded

Summer almost jumped. "Do you think it's easy to find a boyfriend?""She is such a tigress; which man would even want her!""There are so many men who want me, okay? It's me who doesn't want to have a boyfriend! My biggest life goal at this stage is to work! It's to make money! It's important to make money!" Summer replied.Hearing what she said, Joe suddenly asked, "Really? Do men want you? Can you give me an example?""I..." Summer was about to speak when she thought of something. She swallowed the words abruptly and said instead, "Why should I tell you? ""Nonsense, I don't think there is any at all!"At this moment, Gale said out loud, "Summer, I think Dr. Lighton is pretty good.""Dr. Lighton?""Dr. Lighton?"Joe and Summer spoke at the same time.Gale nodded and said, "Yes. He is a doctor 1.6 meters tall, has a six-figure annual salary, is single and unmarried, handsome, and very responsible. What a good husband candidate, don't miss it.""Gale, Dr. Lighton, and I… do

Joe was unexpectedly silent after hearing what Gale said.He said nothing.Neither agree nor disagree."Are you kidding me! Gale, don't mess around," Summer said."I'm serious..."Summer interrupted her and said, "You are so funny! We haven't gotten together for a long time and I don't have any meetings later. I know there is a restaurant nearby that is very delicious. Let's go."She stretched out her hand and pulled Gale away. "Mr. Wood, lend me your wife!"Although Shawn was very reluctant, he also agreed. "Remember to return her to me.""Okay!"Gale murmured, "What do you mean by returning to you? Can't I get home myself? Besides, I don't live in Temperley Hall anymore."Watching the backs of the two walk away, Joe was still engrossed in what had happened just now.Someone slapped him on the shoulder."Shawn, what are you doing?" Joe took his hand away. "You scared me." "If you like her, go after her, or she will be snatched away by Dr. Lighton.""Okay...what does it

"We both know the actual reason why Mr. Wood put me by your side. I didn't understand it when I received the task. How could I stop you if you wanted to leave?" Pearton replied. "Why do you care about me? I'm just a stranger, and you don't need to care about me at all.""Mrs. Wood, you are a young mistress and rich and powerful, so you don't understand the difficulties of people like us. Now I found that you are a very kind and compassionate person. Only then did I understand Mr. Wood's intention in doing this. You really do look out for me and treat me as a friend."Gale looked at the empty sidewalk and said, "I also came from suffering. I haven't always been aloof, and I used not to know the world's suffering. How difficult it is to live well..."Pearton clenched his fists and said seriously, "Ma'am, if you want to leave, then go ahead. I won't be your stumbling block, and you don't have to think about how to get rid of me."Gale stopped."I'll pretend I didn't see it, and I w

"Parents can only accompany you for a while. You and your partner will face the rest of your life together. Shawn is not your lover, and he is not worthy.""Sam is the most suitable...cough cough cough."Gale patted her on the back. "Mom, speak slowly and drink some water.""You and Sam are childhood sweethearts, and he was reliable. He was the reason the truth could be uncovered so quickly. Gale, if you and Sam are together again, I will be at ease even if I die.""The doctor said you are recovering well and will live a long life."Actually, Wendy knew her situation very well.Her body had reached a point where it was exhausted.It was a medical miracle that a vegetative person could wake up, which was very rare.She could live for so long because she was supported by a large number of expensive medicines. She might leave at any time.Wendy's eyes turned red. "Silly daughter. There are two things that a woman should do in her life. One is to manage herself well, and the other

Looking at Gale's back, Peter made a major decision.Gale went to Carson Group.She had just walked into the company lobby when a group of people came out of the elevator.The leader was none other than Xavier Carson, the patriarch of the Carson family!Sam was standing beside him, talking about work.Seeing this, Gale immediately turned her back to them.The past grievances came to mind, and she did not want to see Xavier.Therefore, it was better to avoid him!Unexpectedly, Xavier had very sharp-eyed. "Gale? Is that you?"Gale paused.Sam also looked this way. Although it was only a back view, he was absolutely sure that it was Gale. "Dad, that's Gale.""Oh, what an honor." Xavier immediately put on a smile on his face and walked over quickly."It's been a few years since I saw you, and you are getting more and more beautiful!"Gale was a little surprised.Did Xavier remember what he did?Her father was in prison, and her mother was seriously ill. When she knelt at th

"She hopes that we...could reconsider our relationship and be together again. Although this is impossible," Gale said truthfully.Sam paused, and he said in a low voice, "Gale, why is it impossible."Her eyelashes trembled slightly. "I can't go back.""As long as you nod, I..."Gale interrupted him, "Sam, I beg you, go see my mother. You can make her happy, tell a lie that we will be together in the end, okay?"She knew that Sam could be with her regardless.However, she could not ruin his bright future.Moreover, Gale felt that she had lost the ability to love someone.She and Shawn have been entangled for too long. She was hurt too much and deeply, and the scars in her heart were difficult to heal.Sam deserved better.Seeing that Sam did not nod his head, Gale said, "Please, just lie to my mother. She will believe what you say."Sam sighed and said, "I can do anything for you. Such a trivial matter. How could I refuse you.""Then get in the car."Wendy rarely wakes up a

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
