Shawn pursed his lips deeply, raised his hand, and glanced at the time.If Summer had not brought his daughter back after an hour, he would immediately kill her!However...Summer reminded him of something.Shawn said, "Gale, should I also prepare a meeting gift for Nicole? I haven't bought anything for her yet.""Your bone marrow matching is the best gift for her.""This is what I should do. Even if it costs my life, I will sacrifice to save Nicole."Gale shook her head. "No need. Nicole is not short of anything."Shawn kept quiet, and Gale thought that he had given up on this idea and quickly put it behind him.It just so happened that the nurse came and needed Shawn to go over and do a physical examination.Gale stayed in the ward, ready to cook.She had just picked up the spoon when someone knocked on the door. Knock, knock."Coming!"When Gale opened the door, she saw a doll taller than the door, blocking the entire door tightly without a single gap."Hello, is this Ga
"I heard that Mr. Wood didn't come to the company for several days and was hospitalized.""Did you meet Mr. Wood's post lately?""Could it be that Gale not only survived but also gave birth to a daughter?"For a while, Sea City was filled with various speculations and gossip.However, no one dared to confirm it.This was a private matter of the wealthy Wood family. Whoever inquiries would be courting death!Peach heard it too.She secretly ran to ask Summer, "Is Gale really back? Is she not dead?"Summer also showed Nicole's photo. "That's right. Look, Gale's daughter, my goddaughter, isn't she cute!"Peach opened her mouth wide and could not close it for a long time!"It turned out to be true!"Summer said, "Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes, verified it, and she's right!"Peach suddenly became excited, and her eyes were about to shoot stars. "Then, when will she return to the company? I would still like to work under her! The position of the chief designer is hers!"Bef
The more Natalie thought about it, the more unappeased she became. Gale once snatched her crown, stole the limelight at jewelry fairs, and had a close relationship with Aurum...The security guard's cursing voice suddenly came. "Hey, what are you doing? Let go. Don't stay here. Get out!"Natalie looked up and saw that the security guard was waving a stick in his hand and was chasing away a woman standing next to the trash can.The woman grabbed a few rotten buns, stuffed them into her mouth non-stop, and tried to find some more food from the trash can."If you don't leave, I'll hit you. This area is a rich area, and the food thrown away is not something ordinary people can eat!"Natalie walked over. "What's going on?""Ms. Yarn." The security guard immediately smiled when he saw her. "I don't know where this lunatic came from. I'm chasing her away. I'm sorry to disturb you."Natalie glanced at her. "What's left in the kitchen, give it to her. She's a poor person.""Ms. Yarn, yo
'If she's just a nameless lunatic, then just let her go!'Soon, the door was quiet again, and the cleaner was cleaning the trash bin that Winnie had messed up.A black car drove by.Inside the car, there were two bodyguards wearing uniforms who looked well-trained.The co-pilot's bodyguard pressed his headset and said, "I didn't see Winnie. Are you sure she's been around here?""Yes, she was captured by surveillance.""But we didn't find out.""Look around more. Maybe she's sleeping in the trash can or in the grass. Shawn ordered her to be caught and reversed her plastic surgery! If things don't work out, we'll all have to walk around without food!"The bodyguard replied, "Understood."However, the car went around and around, but Winnie was never found.There was no other way. The bodyguard had to report the truth to Shawn.Shawn picked up the phone, and after listening to it, he frowned. "It's fine to let her run away, but now you can't find her? Trash!"Two days ago, the
"Who else?""A little girl."Lucas asked in surprise, "Whose? Gale's?""Right."Lucas said, "You haven't seen her for four years. She has remarried and had a child? Then what should you do!"Shawn coughed deeply. "No..."Lucas said very earnestly, "I know you like Gale very much, and you risked your life for her, but look, she put it down and had a new life. You just bless her from afar.""Grandpa, that's my child.""Grandpa is someone who has seen years and years of..."Shawn interrupted him and repeated again, "Grandpa, that's my daughter."Lucas paused, opened his mouth halfway, and forgot to blink his eyes, staring at Shawn in a daze.After a long time, he came back to his senses. "What did you just say?""I say it for the third time, Grandpa, it's...""She is you and Gale's daughter?!?"As soon as the child was mentioned, Lucas regained his energy."Yes." Shawn nodded deeply.Lucas's crutches fell off with a bang.He clasped his hands together, raised his head, an
"Anyway, I will give it to her from now on. I'm so happy, and I finally have a granddaughter!" Lucas said with a smile.The old man was not patriarchal at all, and his ideas were very open and avant-garde.He even thought that girls were pretty good.They were fragrant, soft, and coquettish, so it was easy to be with them, much better than boys!In addition, the three generations of the Wood family were all boys, and now they finally have Nicole!Lucas said, "Wait, I'll come back later. I'll ask the secretary to prepare the share transfer certificate..."Before he could finish speaking, the door of the ward opened suddenly.Gale walked out, holding Nicole."Daddy!" Nicole saw Shawn at a glance, shouted sweetly, and then looked at the old man. "Hello, Grandpa!"Nicole has always been polite.When she sees someone old, she naturally calls them Grandpa and Grandma.However, for Lucas, the word Grandpa warmed his heart, and he was even so excited that tears filled his eyes!Gal
Therefore, when there was nothing to do, everything was peaceful.As long as something touches the principle, all the contradictions will be thoroughly stimulated.Lucas replied, "There is everything in the old house, but there are no children's toys. However, the things I want to give her cannot be bought outside.""Can't buy it?"Gale felt a little strange.What was he going to give to Nicole?"I always wanted a great-grandson in my dreams. Look, this wish has come true today! There is a successor to the Wood family. I am so excited!"Gale thought about it and said, "Nicole is my child and Shawn's, but that doesn't mean she will be the heir of the Wood family."Lucas's smile froze suddenly."I hope that Nicole can have a free life. She can choose any life she wants. If she is willing to inherit the Wood Group, I will definitely respect her choice. But I never wanted her to be raised as an heir since she was a child.""Nicole will be your great-granddaughter. The blood relat
Gale was stunned.'Isn't this a problem for her?!'"Shawn, can you stop making trouble? What does a child want hundreds of billions of wealth for?" she said."This is what my daughter deserves.""That will have to wait until she becomes an adult!"Shawn looked deeply into her eyes. "Then... transfer it to your name first? You will transfer it to her after she becomes an adult."Gale smacked her forehead.They sounded as though it was just like passing on a vegetable in a market.These were shares!Worth hundreds of billions!Gale does not want these things. For her, these shares will become her burden!Lucas said, "Then there's no need."It was okay to give it to Nicole, but if it was given to Gale, Lucas still needed to think about it carefully.What if Gale remarries?Shares are the foundation of a company. It would be terrible if her next husband controlled the shares!"Yes, you don't have to give it to me, and I won't ask for it. Lucas, Shawn, if you really want to 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
