He would be a laughing stock if he allowed Joshua to escape this way. They chased him to the first floor.At the elevator door, Joshua was the first to run out nimbly, heading straight for the back door.'Mommy, here I come!'Gale was waiting at the back door.When she heard the sound of running footsteps, her eyes lit up. "Joshua? Is that you?""It's me!" he yelled before he saw his mother.Gale waved her hand. "Joshua, hurry up. I'm here! I'll take you home!"Joshua flew himself into her arms.Gale picked him up without hesitation, turned around, and ran toward the car parked on the side of the road.They jumped in the car and prepared to escape!The moment she was about to start the car, Shawn ran out.He saw the small white car at the back door at a glance.Also, Joshua was lying on the car window and making faces at him.He was mouthing at him, "Bad uncle, goodbye. My mommy is here to pick me up!"He glanced at the driver's seat.He vaguely saw a graceful silhouet

She had to stay calm.These moments called for calmness so she could act sharp!"Joshua, sit down and put on your seat belt.""Alright, Mommy! You can concentrate on driving and leave me alone!"Gale also started to overtake cars, change lanes, and speed up.She was much more familiar with this city than Shawn.In the past two years, she often accompanied her boss on business trips and inspected various stores, so she was familiar with them. She did not need to turn on the navigation to go wherever she went, and she remembered the way.Joshua said, "I believe you can get rid of him! Mommy, do you remember that there is a fork in the road ahead?""Yes.""There we are. You can get rid of him!"Gale nodded. "Okay!"Even after the fork, Shawn was still chasing after them.Joe rubbed his chin, thinking, 'It's impossible to go on like this.'He had to figure it out again.Ugh.He was so tired of fixing this mistake.He had already betrayed Shwan! They were brothers for many y

However, Joe felt guilty.Was he being too obvious just now? Did Shawn notice?After coughing, Joe said, "There are too many cars, and this is a three-way road. I was dazzled for a while, and there were too many white cars. In addition, Molly kept changing lanes deliberately, so I just... I got it wrong."Shawn said nothing. His face darkened.After a while, he said, "Do you think it's ridiculous?""Ridiculous?""We actually let a three-year-old kid escape from under our noses. Moreover, we watched Molly pick him up."Who were Shawn and Joe?When the two people are together, they can make business leaders in Sea City tremble three times just by stomping their feet!Now, they were played by a strange woman and child!Shawn cursed deeply and got out of the car.The car owner behind them cursed, "Who do you think you are? Can you drive? Why did you stop suddenly?"However, when the owner saw Shawn and Joe, he immediately shut up.Just by looking at their temperament, he knew

They were lucky.However, they would not be lucky every time.As long as she and Shawn meet once, it will be over.Nicole said, "Brother, congratulations on winning the championship. Mommy said we have a big meal tonight!"Gale nodded. "You can eat whatever you want."Joshua's ears were suddenly hooked.Gale said, "Come with me.""Oh, what's wrong...it hurts, Mommy, be gentle. My ears are still growing!"Gale grabbed him and went to the balcony."Let me ask you, how have you met and known Shawn?"According to Zoe, when Shawn broke into the interview area and went straight to Joshua, Joshua was not afraid. He even had a long chat with Shawn.They seemed to know each other.Gale was surprised. How did Joshua know Shawn?When did they meet?This question has been circling in her mind, and now she can ask him."I… I have seen him before," Joshua replied truthfully."What!?"Gale really did not know what to say.Gale asked, "When did you meet? How many times have you met?

"Mommy, today is the third time we met. I didn't expect him to kidnap me to force you to show up. I'm putting him in the bad guy category now, and I won't meet with him anymore," Joshua said.Gale looked at him seriously and said, "Joshua, let me remind you that from now on if you see Shawn, you will walk the other way. Do you hear me?""Yes!""Don't you dare meet him!"Seeing her face getting more and more serious, Joshua also realized that the matter was serious.He asked cautiously, "Is there... any hatred between you and uncle?"The question stopped Gale.Hate?Yes, there was indeed hatred.However... there was love too. She had loved him.He loves her too.Moreover, Shawn and Gale are still husband and wife.Shawn did not agree to the divorce in the end.He was not a divorcee, just a widowed man.So, in fact, she was still his wife."I'm sorry, I won't ask anymore." Joshua quickly covered his mouth. "Mommy, I will listen to you, and I will never see him again in the

Meanwhile, at the Wood Group, everyone kept their heads down, their tails between their legs. They were even afraid of making loud noises when walking.Mr. Wood's mood was extremely bad.The boss was in a bad mood. Everyone below him would suffer.Executives were called in one at a time and were scolded badly.Especially the jewelry department.They were next to meet Mr. Wood.The people in the jewelry department looked as if they were on the battlefield."What is this? Is this called a design drawing?""When such a design draft is spread out, it looks like you plagiarized it!"Shawn threw a stack of design drafts on the table."Who told you to imitate Gale's style?"No one in the conference room dared to answer.They got scolded.It was because Mr. Wood wanted a designer like Molly to join the company, so everyone thought he liked this style.As a result… they got a bad scolding."Peach! As the chief designer, give me an explanation!"Everyone looked at her sympathetic

The atmosphere was extremely solemn.After a long time, Shawn said, "Summer, you don't understand." Nobody understood his loneliness.Nobody knew how he felt on those long nights.Honestly, even he himself did not understand himself.Yes, Molly reminded him of Gale, so he wanted to lure Molly to the Wood Group at any cost.Molly's presence would remind him of Gale.Gale loved her work."The meeting is over." Shawn got up and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to imitate her design.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Shawn left. Peach was relieved. "Summer, you are too bold!""What are you afraid of? He can't eat me.""You mentioned Gale in front of Mr. Wood."Summer replied helplessly, "I have no choice. The other designers will not be happy if Shawn is so attached to Molly."Shawn went to invite her twice.If Molly joined the job, Peach's position as the chief designer would definitely be gone.Secondly, other designers would not accept Molly's management, thinking how it could b

He found what he wanted.It was just...What was the relationship between Aurum and Molly?The money and the house seemed to be for Zoe, but in fact, Molly and her son are using them!Furthermore, Molly has two children.In other words, Joshua has another sister! It was someone Shawn had never seen or known! Shawn said, "Fiona, have Aurum and Zoe been in frequent contact for so many years?""No, it started four years ago.""Four years ago?!"Shawn felt quite concerned about the timeline!That was the year Gale left him!Shawn frowned deeply, stood up, and strode out. "Prepare the car. We are heading to Aurum.""Yes, Mr. Wood."Shawn wanted to find Aurum.There are too many mysteries, he has to solve them one by one, and he cannot wait a minute longer!The car sped toward Lefting Group.As soon as Shawn appeared, no one dared to stop him, and the supervisor of the reception department greeted him personally."Mr. Wood, you're here...""Where's Aurum?""Mr. Lefting is in

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
