His face gradually turned grim."I didn't intend to argue with them. I really don't have a father, and I don't know who my father is. But, they started attacking my mommy!" Joshua said."My mommy is the world's most gentle mommy!"Shawn asked, "What did they say about your mommy?""They said… she has a wild man." Joshua gritted his teeth. "Actually, there is no such thing! Mommy has to take care of me every day. She works for my sister and I have never seen her with a man!""They are talking nonsense, and I am very angry, and ask them to apologize. They won't! So, I fought them!"After Joshua finished speaking, the expressions of the parents changed.Joshua's family was indeed a very unique and odd existence in the community.Everyone talked about her in private, with disdain in their expressions.The children must have heard what the adults said, and they followed suit, ran to Joshua and said it.Shawn's voice was chilling. "Did you hear that? Educating children to talk nons

Joshua grimaced, "Auntie, I didn't say you were a gossip. Why did you jump out and call yourself out!"The parent was defeated.Seeing this, another parent immediately stepped forward and said, "It's a fact that you don't have a father! Besides, your mother doesn't work. Where did you get the money to buy a house in this apartment for you to go to school? You also enroll in various interest classes and special classes?""My mom works! She just works at home!""Hehe, I think she works on the bed! I don't know how many wild men she has been with. Cheating men for their money! After all, she looks pretty!" The parent sneered.Joshua stomped his feet angrily. "You can't slander my mommy! She really has a job! She makes money by painting!""Painting? Who does she sell it to? She's not an artist, so how much can a painting cost?" Then, the parents looked at Shawn. "It's the kind of rich man who would be willing to buy her paintings at a high price!""Yes, he might be buying a painti

Fiona said, "I have recorded everything just now, and I will submit it to the court as evidence.""Everyone, if you have any opinions, I will see you in the court and wait for the judgment." Going to court was so troublesome.Some parents had jobs. If they were sued, they might lose their jobs.It was a trivial thing to say, but once it became a big deal, it would be of no benefit to anyone!Shawn's attitude was very tough. "Just do it like this!"He took Joshua by the hand, turned around, and was about to leave.The matter here should be left to Fiona and the lawyer.He took Joshua to the hospital to treat the wound.When the parents saw this situation, their attitudes changed drastically.They hurriedly stopped in front of Shawn, smiling."Come on. It's a trivial matter. Why do you want to go to court?""Yes, yes, forget it, let's forget it. We don't care about it.""It's just that the children are ignorant and naughty."Shawn raised his eyebrows. "Forget it?""Yes, i

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance to meet again. How are your injuries?" Shawn said.Joshua was very bold and answered, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt!"Shawn really liked Joshua.However, he could not steal him and bring him home."Okay, Uncle is leaving first. Goodbye."Joshua held his hand reluctantly.This uncle was really kind. He supported him and cared about him, alas… it would be great if he was his father!"Uncle, do you really not think about getting married again? Sleeping alone is so lonely and scary. After marrying, there will be two people. You can have a wife to warm the bed in winter and use your wife as a pillow in summer!" Joshua asked.Fiona spat out, laughing."What are you laughing at? I want to grow up and marry a wife soon. I don't want to sleep alone," Joshua said seriously.Shawn replied, "We'll talk about it when you grow up."Fiona glanced at the time and said, "Mr. Wood. It's time to go to the airport. Otherwise… we won't be able to leave to

"Mommy! Good evening!" he said."Good evening. Let's have dinner, Joshua.""Well, I'm going to wash my hands!"Gale scratched his hair, feeling that something was wrong. Why was Joshua acting so weird?However, she could not tell what was wrong.After washing his hands, Joshua ran past her like a gust of wind and went straight to the dining hall.Gale finally understood what was wrong.Why was he still wearing a mask at home?Joshua lifted the mask from below and lowered his head to scoop food into his mouth.This kind of strange behavior..."Joshua." "Yes!""Take off the mask."He deliberately coughed hard. "No, this can prevent infection."Gale did not listen to his nonsense, and she just reached for his mask.Joshua pressed down hard. "Mommy, what are you doing...""Take it off. Let me see your face. What are you trying to hide?"Joshua curled his lips and gave up struggling.The scratch mark on his cheek was very obvious."How did you do it? Did you get hurt? Di

Gale had a sore nose and felt like crying.She blinked quickly and forced back the tears. "Joshua, you are still young, and the family does not need you to go out to make money.""But I am confident that I can get first place. It's a seven thousand dollar prize. It is enough for our family's living expenses for a year," Joshua replied. The more sensible he was, the more Gale blamed herself.It was because she was incapable that the child knew to help her share the pressure of life at such a young age.Gale touched his head and said, "Joshua, Mommy will work hard and design to make money. The money is enough, so you don't need to worry. The family is not at the point where you need to show your face to make money.""It's just a competition...""Okay, don't touch the wound when you wash your face at night. I have to take Nicole to the hospital tomorrow. You go to school by yourself, don't run around, and don't cause trouble, okay?" Gale said.Joshua's little head nodded. "Okay."

City?Yes, the bigger the city, the higher the level of medical care."I can only tell you the result. If you want medical treatment, you should go to the city, or... Sea City. Sea City is the largest port city, and it is very developed in all aspects. Maybe she can be completely cured there," the doctor suggested.Gale never expected that she would hear the place name 'Sea City' being suggested to treat Nicole's leukemia!She nodded and said, "Okay, okay… Thank you, doctor."Gale stood up and started seeing double. She was shaking and almost lost her footing.She supported the table and forced herself to calm down. "By the way, doctor, how much is the approximate treatment cost?" The doctor said, "A conservative estimate, seven or eight hundred thousand."Seven or eight hundred thousand!Where would Gale get so much money!Aurum bought the apartment.She jumped into the sea and left to come here penniless, earning little by little.Could it be... should she go to find Aurum

"Mommy is worried about you, so I will take you to a big hospital in the city for a physical examination."Nicole shook her head immediately after hearing this. "No need, Mommy. I'm really better, don't worry about it. No more wasting money. I go to school tomorrow. I want to go to school. I miss my teachers and classmates!""Mommy has money, don't worry. Your body is more important."Nicole said, "Is it because of the doctor? He said... I have leukemia?"Gale's heart twitches violently."No, why would Nicole get this disease. Just listen to Mommy. I'll send you to kindergarten when you come back from the city, okay?" Gale said.Nicole nodded."Hey, I have to finish this bowl of soup.""You eat it too, Mommy. You've lost weight," Nicole said."Okay, I'll eat with you."Nicole turned his head. "Mrs. Zoe, you come too!"Zoe was hiding beside her and quietly wiping away her tears when she heard Nicole calling her. She quickly collected her emotions and replied with a smile, "Ok

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
