They had not seen each other for four years. Even if they were unfamiliar at that moment, the smell of his cologne stirred a deep sense of familiarity in her heart.They were husband and wife. They were once the closest people to each other!Shawn asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry? Galey, the woman in Temperley Hall really does just look too much like you. That's why I brought her in. However, I've never touched her. I swear.""I'm not angry. I don't care either. You're free to have any woman you want."Shawn answered, "How could a married man be that free? The wife will care.""Who's your wi-mph…" Gale was about to offer a rebuttal when his lips suddenly pushed down.There had been no signs at all.Her mind went blank on the spot. Her eyes widened, and she forgot even to blink.The familiar scent, the familiar taste. Even his lips were as cold as they always were!Shawn's kiss was still as strong and forceful as it used to be.He did not give Gale any chance to ru

Shawn answered, "Nicole said it. You're angry, so she asked me to kiss you to make you happy.""Was that just a kiss?"That was an intense french kiss!She almost lost her breath!Shawn nodded. "Oh, I understand. That was too intense. I'll kiss you properly now."As he said that, he leaned in again.Gale hurriedly looked away. "Don't you dare!"He let out a magnetic laugh as he moved away.That man was a rascal!Shawn said in a low voice, "Now you're really angry. Galey, you look really cute like this.""If you dare to suddenly kiss me again like that, I…I'll…""Oh? What will you do?" Gale could not answer.That was true.What could she do?She had never been able to do anything to Shawn. She even had to fake a suicide just to get away from him.Shawn sighed as he put his forehead against hers, grabbing her hand tightly."Galey, if you want to leave, I'll let you go. I won't hurt you anymore…" Shawn's breath brushed against her face. "Do you know how powerless I felt

"Our daughter will definitely recover."That was his promise. It was a guarantee!Gale shot him a quick glance.Her lips still tasted of him, and it made her heart flutter.Shawn, with a head full of silver hair, was practically a monster!He looked like a supermodel from a magazine!"Shawn, you…" Thinking about it, Gale could not help but ask, "Why aren't you asking me how I survived the sea? Why aren't you asking me where I've been the past four years?""Galey, when you want to tell me, you will."He would not force her.He would not make any requests.After losing her once, Shawn understood what love meant even more.He loved Gale.However, loving someone did not mean he needed to have her. It meant he wanted her to be truly happy.Shawn had learned to let go. That was what Gale taught him when she jumped off that yacht.She would push her to death if he did not let go.How could she be willing to let her die?"The doctors are already discussing the surgery.

"Alright, alright. Nicole, you're so brave."Gale forgot about anything else when she saw the mark. She felt her heart ache.She really wanted to take the pain in Nicole's place.Gale looked down and blew at it. "Does it still hurt?""Not anymore!" Nicole answered as she shot Shawn a cheeky wink.Even though Nicole looked incredibly cute and obedient, and was a girl everyone liked, she was actually quite similar to Joshua inside.She was a troublemaker with a lot of tricks up her sleeve!While Gale was in the washroom, Nicole slipped over to Shawn."Daddy, I saw you kissing Mommy just now! The nurse saw it too!"It was very easy to see what was happening inside through the glass on the door.Shawn pinched her nose. "Didn't you tell me that earlier? She got angry, so she needed a kiss.""Yes, yes. Daddy, you're so smart!" Nicole nodded."I'm not as smart as you.""Daddy, you need to work harder. Mommy doesn't like you, did you notice?" Nicole said seriously.Shawn knelt do

Shawn answered incredibly quickly.So much so that Gale shot him another look.She was doubtful but did not say anything else as she took her pajamas into the toilet.The shower could be heard.Shawn walked to the balcony and called the housekeeper."Hello, Mr. Wood.""Go get something done right now. Have Winnie leave Temperley Hall. She's not to step foot in it ever again," he ordered. The housekeeper asked curiously, "Mr. Wood, are you kicking her out?""Yes."Gale was back. There was no longer any need for Winnie's face to soothe his heart.So, there was no longer any reason for Winnie to exist!The housekeeper did not know what had happened, but the housekeeper never liked Winnie anyway!Shawn was finally wise enough to chase that woman away!The housekeeper said, "Alright, Mr. Wood. But Ms. Nightingale might not agree.""Try everything. Ask her how much money she wants. Give her whatever she wants. If she won't agree to money, then force her out.""Understood, I w

Shawn actually spoke up for her.Nicole pouted, "Why can't my Mommy and Daddy sleep together? Am I always different from everyone else? They are studying in kindergarten, but I'm in the hospital. They…"Gale stopped her. "Alright, Nicole. Your Daddy and Mommy are the same as everyone else's. Of course we'll sleep on the same bed!"Nicole's eyes lit up. "Really?""Of course."Shawn looked at her. "Galey…""Shut up. Stop trying to act like you're a good boy!" she whispered.There was no way he was not happy about it.He had forced a kiss on her just now. Was sleeping in the same bed not exactly what he wanted?Shawn got up from the sofa, looking like he was in a difficult position. "Since it's what Nicole wants, I have no choice but to agree."Gale really wanted to roll her eyes!That was all an act!She turned to blow her hair, ignoring him. She really did not want to get on the bed.Shawn patiently waited for her on the bed.The fragrance of her hair constantly blew over.

Slowly.He was no longer the old him that would only care about himself.Gale did not say anything about it.In truth, she felt like hugging was even more intimate than kissing.Their bodies were right next to each other. His warmth completely surrounded her, giving her a sense of safety.She still loved him.She loved him but hated him too.In the quiet, Gale slowly got sleepy as well.Suddenly, a smooth object hung around her next. Shawn's hands were behind her as his fingers moved.She opened her eyes. "Shawn…"Gale touched her neck."It's the pendant. I've had it all this time. I can finally put it on you after all this time."Gale touched the pendant, and she suddenly felt awake.Back then, Aurum had asked for the pendant.She did not know why, but she did not ask. She gave it to him anyway.Yet, the pendant appeared in Shawn's hands at that moment.Gale suddenly thought of something."Back then, the corpse that was found was already completely bloated up by the w

"Where is Mr. Wood? Tell me, I'll go find him!"The housekeeper replied blankly, "Mr. Wood is not someone you can meet whenever you want. Ms. Nightingale, I advise you to be more sensible. How much do you want from us? Name your price.""I don't want money, I want Mr. Wood!""If you do this, you won't get anything at all." The housekeeper glanced at the time before saying, "You must leave Temperley Hall before dawn, Ms. Nightingale. Your time is running out."The sky was bright.Unexpectedly, Winnie was more difficult than she imagined.The housekeeper said to the bodyguard, "Drag her out. She is not allowed to step in again.""Yes."Winnie screamed frantically, "No, you can't drive me away, I want to be the woman of the house, I'm Mr. Wood's favorite woman, he always looks at my face every day… You let go..."The sound faded away.Winnie was directly thrown out of the Imperial Garden.The door clanged shut.No matter how Winnie shouted or knocked on the door, it was useles

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
