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
"Shawn, I made things very clear in front of your grandfather just now.""I've never really given you any gifts. This is my…"Gale interrupted him, "Shawn, everything you give is just too valuable. I wouldn't dare to accept them."That crown, the Heart of the Deep Sea, felt like it burnt her to touch it back then.Yet, he wanted her to accept those shares.Gale sighed. "I've never wanted these things. Forget it."She put the contract gently on the table.Shawn stood in place."Galey, I've been thinking for the past few days, wondering what I need to do to earn a true smile on your face. I want to give you everything I have, I don't even need anything for myself, but you don't care about that. You don't even spare it another glance. What do you want? Freedom? I've already given that to you. I told you I would let you leave with Nicole, and I'll make sure it's done. I won't stop you."Gale met his gaze.His eyes were so deep and dark."Shawn, it might be impossible to give me
"Is it that easy?""Yes."Shawn even carefully put the pen in her hand.Nicole held it and started to write her name.The words were not that well-written, but it was neat enough.Shawn took out the ink pad. "Come, Nicole, put your thumb on this and press it on the paper."Nicole did so.It was the first time she had done something like that, so she felt like it was quite fun. She stained all five of her fingers in the ink before she slapped her hand on where the signature needed to be.Shawn let out a satisfied smile at the sight.Yes, even his daughter was not immune to his schemes!Shawn nodded. "Very good. You're so smart, Nicole.""But daddy, what if I can't take care of so many people when I grow up?""It's okay. You can pay someone to manage it for you. You just have to count your money."Nicole nodded as if she understood.Gale had just finished making some soup, and she brought it to the table."Mommy!" Nicole took the contract and waved it in front of Gale prou
Gale shut her eyes slightly, and her hands were pulling at Shawn's shirt.At that moment, the door to the room suddenly opened.The attending doctor walked in with the nurses. "Mr. Wood… Uh…"Was that a scene they were allowed to see?The doctor was stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly turning around and walking out. "I'm sorry, Mr. Wood. W…We did not see a single thing! We'll leave right away! You can continue!"The nurses ran after the doctor in a hurry as well.Gale covered her face, feeling like she was going to cry.That was completely embarrassing!She really wanted to explain that she and Shawn were not doing anything, that she had just happened to slip and fall on the bed, and that the stance they were in was just a coincidence!It really was!It was nothing like what they thought!"It's your fault!" Gale glared at Shawn. "How am I going to even face them now!"She was still angry and hammered his chest a few times.Shawn had an innocent look on his face. "I
He naturally knew what was on Gale's mind.Was it so hard for her to be by his side?However, Shawn still kept his wits about him and was thinking about Nicole's health.He would not delay things on purpose, nor would he drag things forward."The next weekend is perfectly fine. Our team is quite confident that this surgery will be a success," the doctor answered."Good.""Mr. Wood, Mrs. Wood, then please sign your agreement on this document."Gale picked up the pen and signed it without any hesitation.Shawn signed it as well.Their names were right next to each other.It was at that moment that Gale realized again that Shawn and she were still lawfully wedded.Both of them needed to sign for Nicole's signature.They were still married!They did not get a divorce!Gale looked away. "Thank you, doctor. I hope you'll do your best on this surgery and let Nicole recover her health so she can just be a normal child.""Don't worry, Mrs. Wood."Gale felt a huge sense of relief
Shawn frowned tightly. He was deep in thought when he saw Sam quickly walking over.Sam stared at him. "Mr. Wood, where is Gale?"Shawn put down the phone. "What? You want to see her?""Of course!""She's fine. She's healthy and safe. You don't have to disturb her," Shawn said."If she was healthy, why would you two always be at the hospital?""It's because our daughter is sick."Sam's eyes widened. "Your… daughter?""Yes." Shawn raised his eyebrow. He had a prideful tone in his voice. "Galey is not dead. She was saved. She even had my child back then and successfully gave birth. Our family of three is getting along harmoniously."Yes, it was harmonious. He did not use the wrong word.Their family stayed together and did everything together. They were practically together twenty-four hours a day.It was great.Sam found it hard to accept the news. He was stunned in place.Shawn walked past him. "It's no longer possible for you and Galey. Just be the Carson family's heir pe
"Another person?""I heard you and Mommy talk about someone called Lefting before."Zoe was shocked. Joshua really was smart to know of Aurum.Zoe nodded. "Yes, Uncle Lefting is Gale's good friend.""Then can I call him?""I'll ask."Aurum was surprised to hear that Joshua wanted to talk to him as well. "He mentioned it himself?"Zoe answered, "Yes, Mr. Lefting. I don't know how he found out about you either. I think he just heard Gale, and I mentioned you a few times before."Aurum thought about it and agreed, "Give him the phone."Joshua took the phone. Before the camera was even on him, he had already greeted excitedly, "Hello Uncle Lefting, I'm Joshua. Nice to meet you. I'm really happy to see you!"After that, the camera moved around a bit, and Joshua's face appeared on the screen."Hello, Joshua. Mrs. Zoe said you wanted to see me?""Yes, I wanted to see what that legendary, amazing, handsome and smart Uncle Lefting looked like! Seeing you now, you really are the most
Joshua said, "Ah, so it was just not meant to be? Why didn't you confess before my mother was married?"Aurum wanted to explain it, but he was amused after he tried.What was the point of saying all that to a three-year-old child?He had never felt that way toward Gale.However, he could not deny that there were some moments when he would feel his heart jump when he looked at Gale.Yet, it would only last for a few seconds before it disappeared.Aurum always knew very well that it was impossible for him and Gale. He would only marry Natalie.If he could not marry the true daughter of the Yarn family that went missing, he would still marry the adoptive one.It was his gesture of love to that missing girl."Joshua, are you trying to matchmake me with your mother?" Aurum laughed. "You're really barking up the wrong tree.""Alright then, Uncle Lefting, just forget everything I said."It was a pity.All of the good men were already taken!The more Joshua thought about it, the m
