"Shush, Nicole just fell asleep." Gale quickly asked him to be quiet.

Joshua scrambled over, whispering into her ear, "Mommy, someone's looking for you. He called over a dozen times. It kept ringing, so I answered it for you. Here, see for yourself."

Gale took the phone.

Why was Arthur looking for her again?

Was it about that big company?

She had already told him clearly that she would not go.

Gale stared at the phone. Joshua said, "Mommy, are you not going to call him back."

"I'll call them back later. I'm not free right now."

Joshua blinked. How could he allow that?

Then would his mother not miss out on an amazingly rich and handsome man?!

"That man made it sound like it was important. He said there was something urgent!" Joshua said with an exaggerated expression.

Gale patted him on the head. "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

Right after she said that, her phone rang again with a call from Arthur.

Worried that she would wake her daughter up, Gale had Zoe

    Looking at the car drive further away, Joshua had a thought in mind.It was his mother's future happiness. He needed to be more careful.If the other side were an old, ugly, and sleazy man, then it would be trouble.He was the only man in the household. He needed to protect the family!The driver sent a message that Molly had gotten in the car and that they were on the way.Only then did Arthur breathe a sigh of relief.He had finally managed to get the most important person to come.Before he had even settled down, he heard footsteps approaching from a distance.Arthur immediately stood up."Please, this way." The staff led the way, pushing open the door as she snuck a glance at that incredibly good-looking man.How handsome.He was even better looking than celebrities on TV!His nose was straight, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. The way he carried himself made him look like a big shot!Furthermore, he had a head full of silver hair!The staff felt her heart beati

    Shawn was so hard to deal with. He seemed so imposing that Arthur was feeling intimidated. Shawn was clearly adopting a casual and idle stance, but it felt like there was a distance between them that he could not surpass!"Fiona.""Yes, Mr. Wood.""Go wait by the door to receive Ms. Molly. We came here to recruit her, so we need to show some sincerity," Shawn said.It was obvious that Shawn was getting impatient.No one had ever made him wait like that before.If it were not because of Gale, he would not be there at all.Fiona answered, "Yes."Fiona headed outside.Gale could vaguely hear some sounds from inside, but the sound was too insulated, so she could not tell what was being said.However, she still felt an immense sense of panic. So, when she heard the door opening, she turned around subconsciously, hiding in a corner!She needed to hide!Gale had just hidden when the door opened.Fiona walked out from within.He looked at the signs, headed toward the restaurant

    She looked somewhat familiar.However, she had no relatives in this small county, so how could she know anyone?"Okay, I see. Thank you," Fiona said. Fiona was a little confused.'Ms. Molly' had arrived at the restaurant. Why was there no one there?Could it be that they just missed each other?She went upstairs and entered the room from the other side?Fiona returned to the room.She looked at Shawn, and Shawn looked back at her. Fiona's forehead burst into cold sweat. "Mr....Mr. Wood, has Ms. Molly been here?""Didn't I ask you to meet her?""Mr. Hughes's driver said Ms. Molly had already entered the restaurant."Shawn frowned and looked at Mr. Hughes.Mr. Hughes shivered for a moment and quickly showed his phone. "I'm calling her now!" Mr. Hughes dialed the number in front of Shawn.After a long dial tone, no one answered!Mr. Hughes smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehehe, I'll call again!"However, no one answered.When the third call was made, the phone was direct

    He must find the best, most handsome, richest, and gentlest husband in the world for his mother!He was also looking for a father for himself!Joshua stared straight at Shawn with watery eyes.'Yo! This man is really handsome!'Wearing a suit and leather shoes with an indifferent expression but full of demeanor, he could attract everyone's attention just by sitting there casually.So sharp!Not bad, Joshua fell in love at a glance!"Who are you? Where did you come from, little brat? Get out quickly," Mr. Hughes asked.Afraid of disturbing Mr. Wood, he hurriedly rushed forward to drive Joshua away, preparing to close the door.However, Joshua bent down and got in from under Mr. Hughes.He quickly ran up to Shawn. "Hey, handsome guy. Are you single?""Pft!"Fiona could not hold back and spat out the water she had just drunk.It was the first time he heard someone talking to Mr. Wood like this!Shawn and Joshua turned their heads sideways at the same time, dodging Fiona's wa

    "You are just right for her, definitely a match made in heaven!""Besides, when you are with my mommy, you can have such a handsome son!""Isn't it a good deal to marry one and get two for free!"It was weird.Even Shawn could not help but raise the corners of his lips.He was amused by Joshua.In the past four years, he did not know what it was like to feel happy. He did not expect that it would be a little boy who made him feel it."You just sold your mommy to me. Does she know about this?" Shawn asked.Joshua was full of confidence. "As long as you agree, I will persuade her to agree!"Shawn squeezed the tip of his nose and smiled lightly, but did not answer."By the way, you haven't answered the question I just asked! Are you single? My mommy is my baby. She must be married to someone who is rich and beautiful!" Joshua said.Shawn slowly opened his lips and said, "Widowed."Joshua was stunned for a moment.The word 'widowed' was indeed beyond the scope of his age.Wha

    "Aren't you curious who his mother is?" Fiona asked.Shawn glanced over."Why? Should I follow Joshua to find the mother he was talking about and then get married?"Did they think Shawn really wanted to be his father?Fiona covered her mouth. "Mr. Wood, I didn't say anything!"Shawn stood up and looked up at Mr. Hughes."Mr. Wood!""I will stay here for one night. Tomorrow, I hope to see Molly," Shawn said.His aura was so strong that Mr. Hughes subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement.However after thinking about it, Mr. Hughes asked tentatively, "Mr. Wood, if Molly… doesn't want to see you… Shall I tie her up?"Shawn was speechless.Mr. Hughes laughed dryly."I must see her. If not this time, then I will come back next weekend." The more Molly hid, the more curious he became.It had been a long time since Shawn had met someone who had interested him so much!He left the restaurant, got in the car, and went back to the hotel.Looking at the street scene outside the ca

    "Is Nicole still sick?""The fever has gone down, but she is still coughing."Joshua said, "It would be great if I could give half of my health to Nicole."His words made Gale's heart suddenly soften."Stupid child. My Joshua also has to be healthy!" she said."Well! I'm the man of the family!""Yes!" The mother and son high-fived happily.After lecturing Joshua, Gale went to Nicole's bedroom.Joshua hurriedly followed behind."Mrs. Zoe, is Nicole feeling better?""She has already taken medicine, but she still coughs from time to time." Zoe looked worried. "Nicole's body has always been weak."Gale also was so nervous. "If she still hasn't improved after tonight, I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up.""Okay. It's just that you work too hard."Gale shook her head. "As long as Nicole's illness can get better, I won't suffer. Zoe, I'm sorry to trouble you these days."Zoe sighed and said, "I'm also very worried seeing her like this."For Nicole, colds and fevers wer

    "Mommy, it's not that you're not doing well enough. On the contrary, you're doing too well," Joshua said. "Huh?" Gale did not quite understand."Yes. You are too tired, doing this alone. Mommy, I hope that someone can help share your burden so that you can relax a bit. He will be responsible for making money and supporting the family, and you will be responsible for being beautiful!"Gale did not expect Joshua wanted a father because he thought she was too tired!For a moment, she did not know whether to be happy or sad.Yes, she was tired.She had to work and take care of her family at the same time. Although it was tiring, it was worth it to her.Every time she saw Joshua and Nicole, she would be full of energy and motivation again!Gale replied softly, "I can make money to support my family and be as beautiful as a flower!""No, no, making money is a man's job. Mommy, when I have money, I won't let you work. Just dress up beautifully!"She smiled and said, "Okay, I'm wait

    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
