Gale remained motionless. "My only choice is to jump.""No, what do you want? Let's talk it out. I promise you everything. I agree to all your conditions!" Shawn tried to comfort her."I have one condition. You know what I want."Divorce.She just wanted a divorce.Shawn's hand froze in mid-air and then slowly fell to his side.He got it."Okay." Without hesitation, Shawn nodded deeply. "Gale, I promise you a divorce. As long as you come down now and stop doing stupid things, I will promise a divorce and let you go!"Gale looked at him sadly. "If you had agreed earlier, why would I be standing here at this moment… Shawn, it's already too late.""It's too late!""It's too late..." she murmured. "You are lying to me. You will deceive me, then put me under house arrest, send people to monitor me day and night so that I could only live by you... It's all fake!""No, it's true. I promise you. We'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to undergo divorce procedures tomorrow!"Gale sm

Tears rolled down Gale's cheeks, and she raised her hand to wipe them away slowly.Shawn regretted not agreeing to the divorce earlier.She spent too much time and energy planning all this.When she stood on this, she had to jump.For the kids, Gale had no second choice.She shook her head and said, "Shawn, don't kneel to me. I can't bear it.""Please, Gale, give me your hand, and I'll help you down..."Gale backed off a little."Tonight is the last memory I will give you, Shawn. If you miss me in the future, just think about tonight. What I want you to remember is what I am like tonight."The last sentence I leave to you is a blessing… to find someone you love fully with your heart and never leave each other."Such irony.The last entrustment left by the wife to the husband was to hope that he would love someone else and never leave her.Shawn's heart was cut like a knife.He yelled at her, "Gale, I will never love another!""There are so many people in this world. You w

"Shawn!" Joe hurried over and happened to see the scene. He immediately rushed forward to pull Shawn off the railing!The two of them fell on the floor."You're crazy!" Joe stood up. "What are you doing?!"Shawn was quicker than he was. Shawn immediately crawled up and ran toward the railing."I need to save her! There's still time! Any later… Any later, and she'll drown!"Joe grabbed him tightly. "It's already night. There's such a huge storm, and it's the sea! The sea! It's unfathomably deep! Shawn, if you jump down, you should just die with her!""Dying with her is better than just watching her die!" Shawn refused to listen and just wanted to jump down to save her.He knew how to swim very well. He would be able to save her… He had to!"Don't be stupid!" Joe frantically held him back. "I won't let you die like that!""Let go!" Shawn sent a punch at Joe.Joe took the punch head-on, and his nose started to bleed.However, he did not let go and held Shawn even tighter instea

His Galey had gone through so much and managed to turn misfortune into fortune every time, being safe from danger. This time would be the same!Shawn turned around to leave.There was no reason for him to remain on deck. What he needed to do at that moment was to take command, having his men search the whole area!The dining table still looked the same. The cutlery was left there, and the edge of the wine glass still had Gale's lipstick on!The sea was still the same, and the wind still howled.However, everything felt completely different!The romantic atmosphere had completely died!It seemed like nothing had happened at all.Yet, everything had already ended.Summer's crying could be heard from outside. She lowered her head as she sat on the deck. Her tears fell on the ground.It was Joe's first time seeing Summer cry.He was caught off guard and did not know how to console her.Summer, who was usually so cheerful and carefree, was completely stained with tears."You…"

By the beach, the police had a perimeter set up, not allowing anyone unauthorized to enter!The fishing boats were all mobilized, and the whole sea area was cordoned off as they began to search the sea.There were countless white lights on the surface of the sea, and it was incredibly bright. Yet, the surface of the sea was still pitch black.The night was the best camouflage.Shawn stood on the beach.The housekeeper and Fiona were both by Shawn's side, stopping him from doing anything emotional.They were worried he would jump into the sea to look for Gale.Joe rushed over. "Shawn, what's the situation?"He pursed his lips and only said one word, "Searching."They were still looking.There was no news at all.Shawn's face was completely pale, and his hands were clenched tightly by his sides. His gaze was sunken.He looked at the sea, and his eyebrows were furrowed. They could not tell what he was thinking.Joe said, "... You'll find her. Don't be too impulsive. There are

Those words spoke volumes.Looking at Shawn's expression changing, Joe finally let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had managed to stop Shawn for the moment."Fiona.""Yes, Mr. Wood!" "Send out more fishing boats, look through the night. They're not going to stop at all!" Shawn ordered.Fiona replied, "Mr. Wood, all of the fishing boats we can mobilize in the city have already…""Then get them from other cities! Immediately!" Fiona nodded as she left with a serious look on his face.They were not going to sleep that night!They saw the sky slowly brightening. On the flat sea, a sliver of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining on the water.It was almost morning.That whole night, Shawn stood in place like a statue, unmoving.Every half an hour, the housekeeper would report to him."Mr. Wood, we haven't found her.""Not yet.""There's no news.""We've changed shifts.""Mr. Wood, there's still nothing."Every time, the reports were the same!In the end, the

So…Sam felt a chill right at that moment.The person who jumped off… was Gale!He started to run over frantically!Sam cursed, "You pushed her to do this. Shawn, you've really killed her! You scumbag. You did all this to her! We don't even know if she's dead or alive. Are you satisfied? Are you happy now?!"The two bodyguards needed all their strength to hold Sam back.Shawn looked at him. "If she's alive, we'll find her. If she's dead, we'll find her corpse!"He would not allow his Galey to slumber at the bottom of the sea.It was very cold and dark.She would not like it.Even if Shawn had already expected the worst inside, he still did not want to believe it.He still held a sliver of hope!Sam sneered. "Alive? It's already been a whole night. Tell me, how can someone live in the sea for that long? Gale even jumped down herself! She wanted to die!""She'll live. She will!""I hope she lives too, Shawn. Ever since you came into her world, she hasn't had a single good d

Bang!He fell on the ground, and his face was completely pale. The blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth!His body was incredibly weak, and his heart hurt. It had completely destroyed Shawn's body!Even as strong as he was, he could not hold on!"Mr. Wood!""Quickly, get the doctors!""Send him to the hospital!"After some panic, Shawn was taken away by the ambulance.The beach was peaceful once again.However, the blood still stained the ground red!Sam said miserably, looking at the endless sea, "Gale, where are you?""Why did you do something so stupid? You'll only have hope if you're still alive. What will Uncle do when you're dead? He's alone… How could you bear to leave him alone? It's not worth killing yourself for Shawn!" Sam blamed himself for not being capable enough to face Shawn. Otherwise, he would have already taken her back! What he could do was just help her look into the truth, consoling her when she felt helpless. He could not truly save

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
