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

    Gale frowned.She had already guessed who this menacing woman was.This was the woman Shawn raised in Temperley Hall, hidden in the golden house!Indeed.No wonder Shawn stayed.She looked identical to her.If Gale had not known that Wendy had only given birth to her, she would have wondered if she had a biological twin sister.Gale said lightly, "It seems that Mr. Wood usually dotes on her very much. She has no one in her eyes, she dares to behave so lawlessly that she dares to kick the door directly."After a pause of two seconds, she added, "That's right, Mr. Wood has always liked this kind of woman. I remember how arrogant Susan was before. I don't know if this one… will be more arrogant than Susan." "Bah!"Shawn was already walking toward the door, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes."Are you courting death?" he asked in a deep voice.She said tremblingly, "I…I'm here...""Get lost!"Winnie swallowed her saliva and decided to fight to the death.Anyway, she

    Before Shawn could open his mouth, Winnie screamed, "You don't want to see me? It's all plastic surgery. Do you think you are so noble? Or are you really that bold to think of yourself as Gale?""Know your place, you're a substitute!"Gale looked at her like a clown. "I don't need to think of myself as Gale, I am Gale."Of course, Winnie did not believe it. "You must be delusional!"Although Winnie's face was very similar to hers, Gale always felt that she had seen this face and expression somewhere before.There was a feeling of deja vu.She raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?""Winnie!"Gale said, "So it's you… No wonder you feel familiar no matter how you change your face!"Winnie was a little complacent and proud. "I used to be an A-list female star that everyone liked!"Gale recalled, "But you were blacklisted by the whole network. After you were blocked, you went to have plastic surgery and looked like me? To be honest, you used to be pretty good-looking,

    Shawn said, "She is Gale. Winnie, what are you?""She, how could she be..." Winnie was kicked too hard, and she could not breathe. She said hoarsely, "She is dead… A dead person…"Gale replied, "It is indeed me. Winnie, face the reality."Winnie's eyes widened so much that her eyeballs were about to fall out!It looked scary!Gale looked at her. "I'm sorry, but I shattered your dream of being rich and powerful. However, even if Shawn is greedy for wanting your face similar to mine, he will never marry you. Speaking of which, you have given him comfort for a while. He would have compensated you, but you are too greedy and want too much.""Why are you still alive? You're not dead?""Even if I die, you have no chance."Gale did not want to say another word to her and looked at Shawn. "Don't deal with these things in front of Nicole, it will have a bad influence on the child, and it will scare her."When Shawn kicked Winnie deeply, Gale covered Nicole's eyes in time.Nicole canno

    "It's nothing, don't worry about her." After thinking about it, Gale still warned, "Nicole, she is a bad person, don't trust her. Even if she looks like Mommy, she is not Mommy, understand? ""Of course I understand, there is only one Mommy!"Gale nodded. "Also, Nicole, do you remember what Mommy told you repeatedly before coming here?"Nicole replied, "Remember, don't mention Zoe and brother in front of anyone.""You like Daddy very much now, but you still can't mention it to Daddy.""Okay!"After reminding her again, Gale felt relieved.Although Shawn promised that he would let her and Nicole go, she still could not quite trust him.She felt that Shawn was deceitful.Nicole had to be exposed because of leukemia.However, she does not want Joshua to be exposed!Guessing that Shawn would not return to the ward for a while, Gale made a video call to Joshua.Soon, Joshua's face appeared on the phone screen, and he was almost stuck on the camera.Joshua raised his eyebrows pl

    "Who did he kiss and hug?"Nicole said, "Mommy. He hugged Mommy and held me high!"When Joshua heard this, he quickly rolled up his sleeves, wanting to show off his muscles. "After two years, I will become very powerful too.""In another ten years, you will not be as powerful as Daddy!"Joshua had a very sad expression. "Nicole, you have changed. Once you went to Sea City to see Daddy, you forgot me as a brother... Hey, I'm so sad, so lonely and cold. …”Nicole asked, "Mommy, why can't my brother come to Sea City to see Daddy? Why can't I mention my brother to Daddy?"Gale had no idea how to answer."Oh, Mommy has reasons. Why do you ask so many questions?" Joshua said, "Tell me, is our dad handsome?"Nicole has the mentality of a small fan. "Handsome!""Is he tall?""Tall! One head taller than Mommy!""Gentle, considerate, warm man?"Nicole nodded again and again. "Yes!"Joshua rubbed his chin. "That's right. This made me curious about him. But think about it, he must b

    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
